<p>I can't help but shake the feeling that it's a lite version of a full Dwarf AP though. I suppose Paizo could tie in a sequel similar to Jade Regent following on from RotRL, however it seems unlikely.</p>It does sound like a pretty solid classical fantasy campaign, provided that chapters 4 and 6 don't suffer from linear dungeon slog syndrome.

It would be nice if they do flesh out the Linghshen background• of the Hobgoblins, culture, alchemy stuff, deities? • presuming that's where they come from before serving as Molthuni mercenaries
<br />
Exactly why they are in Molthune instead of Lingshen could actually illuminate recent events of Lingshen itself, e.g. if they are religious heretics, escapees from successful/failed coup, etc.</p>
<p>The whole arc of events sounds orthogonal to Campaign Setting background for Molthune/Nirmathas, so hopefully they also use those events to dig back into that setting material... For one, it seems like a great opportunity with the Dwarves to show how they are relating with Molthune/Nirmathas. Perhaps different Dwarven factions preferring Molthune/Nirmathas, with PC affiliation to M/N affecting which Dwarven factions they work best with? Hopefully something like that, or other intermittent interactions with broader Molthuni/Nirmathi politics... Otherwise it sounds like the AP •COULD• get drawn away from cultural/poltical background, making it so PC interaction with that b/g is disincentivized if they will just be murder hobos interacting with various monster factions.</p>
<p>Hopefully the 'animated object' economy of Molthune gets illustrated a bit here, that's flavorful angle to them IMHO. (seems prime interest for Dwarves to be using/trading for, which would help maintain Molthune/Nirmathi connection thruout AP) Also be interesting to flesh out the details of Molthune's (and Nirmathas') Taldor Empire cultural inheritance, where Molthune's most exemplified the Age of Expansion / pure Military aspect, which happens to conflict with the noble priviledge aspect. </p>
<p>Any idea if we will see a Campaign Setting county guide to them? It really does seem appropriate to include both in one book, given Nirmathas' secession is not complete and they seem to otherwise share the same culture and background.</p>
<p>EDIT: BTW, Interesting Iconic line-up, both class make-up (2x Full Companions + Druid spells) and all female aspect (P's always had mixed roster up to now AFAIK).</p>Lord Fyre wrote:Pity that this Hobgoblin AP wasn't set in Lingshen. :(

<p>This AP is set in Nirmathas where a former Molthuni mercenary legion called the Ironfang Legion, which is a unit of hobgoblins who've slowly been absorbing all the other hobgoblin units, has stumbled across an ancient artifact, and is now using that to carve out their own homeland on Nirmathas' and Molthune's border while those two nations distract each other.</p>
