Pathfinder’s First Adventure Path in the ‘War of the Immortals’ is All About Orcs in ‘Triumph of the Tusk’
The War of the Immortals rages across Golarion. And the first place it rears its head is in the rocky wastes of Belkzen, where Orcs must rise.
Pathfinder’s War of the Immortals will kick off a whole new chapter in Golarion’s legendary history. But the death of a god is hardly the only think to shake the pillars of Golarion. And in the aftermath of the events detailed in that upcoming book, the world continues to turn. And wars and other struggles rise up everywhere. Including out in the rocky wastes of Belkzen, where the immortal Whispering Tyrant and his undead legions hold sway.
Triumph of the Tusk: The Resurrection Flood
The first book in the Triumph of the Tusk Adventure Path is all about orcs. Players are cast as orcish dignitaries and ambassadors who have answered an urgent call for aid. The Whispering Tyrant, a lich-king of terrible power that commands an unholy legion of terror, threatens all. With a new system for truces and new magic items, this is a low-mid level adventure path that will take characters from 3rd level to 9th level and then a little beyond. It’s a very cool focus for Pathfinder, and I’m curious to see how it all plays out.
“For ages, the orcs of Belkzen have been marginalized, subjugated, and vilified, relegated to the rocky northern wastes. Yet in recent battles waged against their undead nemeses, orcs showed the world that they have a common enemy—the evil lich-lord known as the Whispering Tyrant. Now, openminded leaders like Ardax the White-Hair have initiated a grand diplomatic campaign to bury old grudges and forge alliances across the continent. There are few takers.
In the Triumph of the Tusk Adventure Path, the PCs are dignitaries representing the few orc communities or foreign organizations who answered Ardax’s call. Their mission of peace soon turns violent when supernatural weather disasters, betrayals, undead uprisings, and even deicide turn the orcs’ homeland into a desperate battlefield. With the PCs’ help, Belkzen won’t just survive, but will earn the respect it has always deserved!
The Resurrection Flood is an orc-focused Pathfinder adventure for four 3rd-level characters. The adventure begins the Triumph of the Tusk Adventure Path, a three-part monthly campaign in which an eclectic band of dignitaries become battle-hardened survivalists fighting for orcs’ homeland and independence. This volume includes an overview of orc culture, an exploration of the Flood Truce tradition, new magical items, and fearsome creatures that wander the wilds!”
