Pathfinder: Lost Omens | Cheliax | Infernal Inheritance

As the Hellfire Crisis comes to an end, the powers that be must reckon with a changed world. Within the Infernal Inheritance dwell scheming nobles, remnants of ancient empires, and Hellish dangers.

In this comprehensive regional gazetteer, readers will be able to explore:

  • Cheliax, a devil-bound nation transformed by war;
  • Corentyn, a naval power establishing its militaristic and economical might;
  • Isger, a recently liberated nation discovering its forgotten past;
  • Nidal, a nation wreathed in shadow and bound to a wicked god;
  • Ravounel, a former Chelaxian hold that is seeking its own place in the world;
  • Scorchhome, a nation for goblins and other outcasts.

Each entry within this gazetteer includes the history, culture, and current events of the region, as well as a major city to include in a variety adventures. The book also includes new character options and a fold-out poster map!

Written by John Joseph Adams, Dan Cascone, Hiromi Cota, Felix Dritz, Matthew Fu, Laura Lynn Horst, Jason Keeley, Stephanie Lundeen, Derry Luttrell, Letterio Mammoliti, Liane Merciel, Jaime Reyes Mondragon, Andrew Mullen, AJ Neuro, Samantha Phelan, Collette Quach, Erin Roberts, and Gina Susanna.

My contributions: I can’t say more than “I contributed some new character options” at the moment, but I will update this when I’m allowed to say more.
