Pathfinder’s Latest Adventure Path, ‘Wardens of Wildwood’ Opens Primal Power
Pathfinder’s newest adventure path will pump PCs with primal power as they step up to try and help the Wildwood Lodge with new backgrounds and more.
Pathfinder is getting back to nature with its latest adventure path, Wardens of Wildwood. The new Adventure Path, which is out for both print and PDF, takes players deep into the Wildwood. The lush greens of the Verduran Forest, with its arboreal creatures, fey, and other beings besides, beckon.
But the forest can be deadly when roused to anger, and the PCs will soon see just how deadly nature can be. When a simple ceremony turns to slaughter, Wildwood threatens to erupt into violence.
Along with the shattered peace introduced in Pactbreaker, the new (and free) Player’s Guide for Wardens of Wildwood promises new backgrounds and other player options to give you the most out of this adventure path.
Pathfinder: Wardens of Wildwood – Book 1, Pactbreaker
Though they arrived as guests, the PCs are soon deputized as part-time guards for the annual Greenwood Gala, a convention for primal-tradition powerbrokers and a festival associated with the Green Faith. After entering competitions, making connections, and shutting down troublemakers, they earn a privileged seat at the ceremony renewing the Treaty of the Wildwood—a ceremony ruined when saboteurs assassinate several of the Verduran Forest’s eminent leaders.
This is the final insult many forest dwellers needed; as vigilantes and militias of arboreals, fey, and beasts mobilize to punish Andoran and Taldor, the PCs must avert bloodshed and maintain order long enough for the Wildwood Lodge to choose a new leader and restore peace.
Pactbreaker is a wilderness-themed Pathfinder adventure for four 5th-level characters. The adventure begins the Wardens of Wildwood Adventure Path, a three-part monthly campaign in which a group of adventurers navigate a tricky balance between idyllic wilderness, a hungry nation, and primal forces beyond the natural world. This volume also includes a look at the Verduran Forest, an ecology of the sentient treelike arboreals, several new magical items to discover, and new dangerous monsters to test your PCs!
Each monthly 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.
As you can see, Druids and Rangers will have their day in the sun, but there are so many options when forming heroes for this nature-fueled adventure.
