When the leader of the ruthless Technic League calls in a favor, the mild-mannered alchemist Alaeron has no choice but to face a life he thought he’d left behind long ago. Accompanied by his only friend, a street-savvy thief named Skiver, Alaeron must head north into Numeria, a land where brilliant and evil arcanists rule over the local barbarian tribes with technology looted from a crashed spaceship. Can Alaeron and Skiver survive long enough to unlock the secrets of the stars? Or will the backstabbing scientists of the Technic League make Alaeron’s curiosity his undoing?

 

From Hugo Award-winner Tim Pratt comes a fantastical adventure of science, savagery, and the vagaries of the human heart, set in the award-winning world of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and tied into the Iron Gods Adventure Path.

In the brand new Iron Gods Adventure Path, Pathfinder heroes explore one of Golarion’s most exotic and unusual realms – the land of Numeria, where savage barbarism clashes with the wonders and horrors of superscience. A strange violet bonfire burns atop the town of Torch’s central hill, its flames hot enough to allow smiths to work with the hardest of exotic metals harvested from the enormous crashed starship at Numeria’s heart. When the fire is suddenly extinguished, the heroes must delve a previously unknown set of caves below the town that lead to a strange buried metallic ruin. Will the heroes survive the technological dungeon, or will they fall in a hail of robotic foes and laser fire?

 

 

“Fires of Creation” is a Pathfinder Roleplaying Game adventure for 1st-level characters that, for the first time ever, blends elements of science fiction and fantasy to create a unique campaign experience. A gazetteer of the city of Torch and an exploration into the nature of the strange androids of Numeria round out this volume, along with the first installment of Amber Scott’s new Pathfinder Journal and several new monsters of alien and technological nature. Don’t miss the first installment of this ground-breaking new Pathfinder Adventure Path!
