I am looking to tap the collective knowledge of the vast BrainTrust that is the paizo forums for the name of all the modules and scenarios that resolve around the Thassilon ruins, the Runelords, and 'artifacts'. I am planning an epic campaign that resolves around the ancient Thassilon, the Runelords, the Swords of Sin, and the First King Xin.
The following are the ones that I am most aware of...
Rise of the Runelords AP (Karzoug)
Shattered Star AP (Xin, Shards of Sin, and the Sihedron. Also possible Sorshen Clone?)
Book 6 of Curse of the Crimson Throne AP (Sorshen)
I would ultimate like the name of the module, or season/scenario, as well as the topic that it deals with aka which Runelord or artifact or Thassilon topic.
Thanks in advance.
I am planning a massive mash-up campaign that resolves around the Runelords, influences from Carrion Crown (/Age of Worms), and Wrath of the Righteous. I am tapping into both Wrath of the Righteous and Carrion Crown for massive events/conspiracies leading to the awakening of the Runelords and the First King Xin.
As a mash-up I plan on replacing quite a bit of locale and I am turning Xin into a God-Emperor (replace the Whispering Tyrant) and adding a sense of overwhelming evil to the Runelords (Carrior Crown/Age of Worm influences) and having a prophecy about blanketing the world in an eternal night that begins with a demonic invasion and ends with the rise of the ancient evils of the Runelords (Wrath of the Righteous connections). I am working out all the details but the above list is important to the planning of the campaign.
I believe the Shattered Star ends with an awakening of Xin, which I have not yet read all of the Shattered Star. The Carrion Crown influences may not be necessary at all, but I have a man-crush on AA as an antagonist especially with the addition of the letters to the PCs from these forums. Also I am a huge fan of Frankenstein influence of Module 2 and the fact that suddenly the Gods are not the sole creators of life, etc etc).
And well... The Wrath of the Righteous is just badass. I am running this campaign as a sort of continuation to another campaign from a long time ago where a player character had become an Immortal (long before Mythic Adventure rules using the old Wrath of the Immortals boxset rules), and will be replacing Terendelave as well Professor Lorrimors as a mentor.
The current plan is for them to have some experience with the character beforehand (not knowing of his true nature) like Runelords 1 or Shattered Star 1 or even as simple as him sending them into the Crypt of the Everflame possibly several adventures, than run Wrath 1, former PC turned NPC goes down in a fight with a Demon Lord while saving the PCs (possibly using a massive unknown rune of protection on them, still in development), followed up by his funeral as per Carrion Crown 1 and the characters having to pick up where their mentor left off (stopping a demonic invasion, the rise of Thassilon, and the second coming of the God-Emperor Xin, again still a work in progress, I am open to suggestions!. Experience/Treasure are not an issue. I plan on detailing this campaign on these forums including the planning of the mash-up and the campaign journal itself.)
Note: Several of the players were part of the former campaign so it is kind of a homage campaign for them to see their former characters as important NPCs. Which was basically a retooled Red Hand of Doom, followed by some home-made stuff including one of the PCs fathers becoming a Fallen Paladin/Deathknight which he had to defeat in solo combat, and a lich trying to corrupt an Immortal whom the PCs had to defeat and one of them had to take on the Immortals portfolio to keep balance... I have no qualms with breaking and tweaking Golarion! or throwing it out completely *shifty eyes*
