Explore a region of classical high fantasy with this expansive hardcover guide to six key nations of the Inner Sea. Within the Shining Kingdoms dwell noble knightly orders, proud ancient cultures, and deadly courtly intrigue. Explore Andoran, a bastion of democratic governance and freedom for all; Druma, a trade hub obsessed with material gain; the Five Kings Mountains, home to fractured kingdoms of the dwarves; Galt, a land wracked from violence and revolution; Kyonin, the illusion-cloaked homeland of the elves; and Taldor, the ossified remnants of one of the most powerful empires in the Inner Sea. Each nation features an in-depth history, gazetteer, and a look at a major city to support a grand variety of adventures. Each region also presents new character options including archetypes, equipment, magic items, spells, animal companions, and more! In addition to these new options, characters can also learn about and join important local factions. These include the virtuous Eagle Knights of Andoran, the stalwart defenders of the Shieldwrought Striders in the Five Kings Mountains, the demon hunters of Kyonin's Wylderhearts, and the Lion Blade spies of Taldor. The book also includes a bestiary of monsters inhabiting the region and a gorgeous fold-out poster map to serve as a centerpiece to any Shining Kingdoms campaign!This deluxe special edition is bound in faux leather with metallic deboss cover elements and a bound-in ribbon bookmark.

The ancient wizard Xanderghul—the most powerful of all the runelords—has returned and seeks revenge upon the world. But before he can be stopped, the cult he created must be confronted in a mysterious dungeon known as the Crypt of Runes. Can the heroes find this place quickly enough to stop the Risen of the Trinity Star from bringing a host of apocalypses to the Saga Lands?Crypt of Runes is a Pathfinder adventure for four 15th-level mythic characters. This adventure continues the Revenge of the Runelords Adventure Path, a three-part campaign in which a group of adventurers fight against the evil plans of Runelord Xanderghul—the most powerful of all runelords. This adventure also includes articles about ancient cults and the terrors of the nightmare realm of Leng, powerful new magic items to aid heroes against their foes, and several sinister new monsters.The Revenge of the Runelords Adventure Path is the fourth installment in the Runelords saga, following the Rise of the Runelords, Shattered Star, and Return of the Runelords Adventure Paths, providing a fitting capstone for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game's original campaign or run as a standalone campaign. Revenge of the Runelords uses the mythic character rules presented in Pathfinder War of Immortals and makes an excellent follow-up to the low-level mythic campaign presented in the Myth-Speaker Adventure Path.Each full-color softcover Pathfinder Adventure Path volume contains an in-depth adventure scenario, stats for several new monsters, and support articles meant to give Game Masters additional material to expand their campaign. Pathfinder Adventure Path volumes use the Open RPG Creative License and work with the remastered Pathfinder Second Edition and compatible roleplaying games.
