The gnoll slavers have been defeated, and the heroes settle in to their new home only to learn that the leader of the regional gnoll tribes, the deadly Carrion King, still lives, and as long as he does, the Pale Mountain Pass between Osirion and Katapesh is fraught with peril. The heroes must confront the Carrion King deep within his lair inside an ancient temple devoted to Rovagug, the monstrous god of wrath and disaster. This volume of Pathfinder also includes rules for running and protecting an isolated village from the dangers of the surrounding wildlands, an exploration of Sarenrae (the Goddess of the Sun and Redemption), a bonus adventure featuring a deadly monster's lair in a remote mountain, several new monsters, and the second part of New York Times best-selling author Elaine Cunningham's Pathfinder Journal.
