A single spark has ignited the dry tinder of a decade-long escalation of challenges into a full-blown Hellfire Crisis, drawing an entire region into the war between the infernal powers and Andoran’s former occupier. Dispatches from the front lines reveal the war’s past and present, as well as how the right band of heroes can shape the conflict’s future. From the front lines to secret negotiations, and from grim reality to fantastical battles, these dispatches cover the full scope of the Hellfire Crisis.
In addition to news of the war and the fronts where heroes can win major victories, this 128-page sourcebook provides new options for the factions involved in the conflict. The Eagle Knights loyal to Andoran and the Hellknights divided by Cheliax’s wartime demands were there when the first shots were fired. Others were affected as the crisis spread to their homes, from shadowed Nidal to the halls of power in Absalom, and from the blood-soaked forests of Nirmathas to settlements beneath the Inner Sea.
Pathfinder Lost Omens Hellfire Dispatches is an invaluable resource for any player or Game Master adventuring amid the Hellfire Crisis, featuring: A comprehensive overview of the war’s timeline and its effects across the Lost Omens campaign setting, told through firsthand accounts from every front of the conflict. A regional gazetteer of prominent NPCs and plot hooks for each of the conflict’s major fronts, from the Arch of Aroden to Absalom, and from shadowed Nidal to the waters of the Inner Sea. Ten archetypes, including three freedom-loving Eagle Knight options, the legally engineered Hellknight, the Starstone Candidate, and more! New character options for members of every class and theme. More than a dozen new armies to challenge groups on all sides of the conflict, a perfect addition to the army-building rules introduced in Pathfinder Battlecry!
