A single spark has ignited the dry tinder of decades-long saber-rattling into the fully-fledged inferno of the Hellfire Crisis, embroiling an entire region into the war between infernal Cheliax and its former holding of Andoran. Dispatches from each front reveal the past and present of the war, along with how the right group of heroes might shape the future of the conflict. From the front line to back-room intrigue and from grim reality to fantastical struggles, these dispatches cover the full scope of the Hellfire Crisis.
In addition to news of the war and fronts where heroes might win important victories, this 128-page setting sourcebook provides new options for facts involved in the war. The Eagle Knights loyal to Andoran and the Hellknights divided by Cheliax's wartime demands were there when the first blows were struck. Others were pulled in as the crisis spread into their homes, from shadowy Nidal to the halls of power in Absalom and from the already-bloody forests of Nirmathas to settlements beneath the Inner Sea.
Pathfinder Lost Omens Hellfire Dispatches is an invaluable resource for any player or Game Master operating within the Hellfire Crisis event, including:
- A comprehensive overview of the war's timeline and effects throughout the Lost Omens campaign setting told through first-person accounts from every front of the conflict
- A gazetteer of prominent NPCs and plot hooks in each of the conflict's primary fronts, from the Arch of Aroden to Absalom, and from shadowy Nidal to the waters of the Inner Sea itself
- Ten archetypes, including three freedom-loving Eagle Knight options, the law-bound Hellknight, Starstone aspirant, and more!
- New character options for members of all classes and themes
- More than a dozen new troops to challenge parties on all sides of the conflict, a perfect complement to the skirmish rules presented in Pathfinder Battlecry!
Whether you're fighting the battles of the Hellfire Crisis in the Hellbreakers or Hell's Destiny Adventure Paths, assisting the Pathfinder Society as it navigates the continent-spanning war in the Pathfinder Society Organized Play campaign, or running your own exciting war-based adventure, Pathfinder Lost Omens Hellfire Dispatches has everything you need to bring the Pathfinder setting's largest conflict to your table!
