Artwork from this book

Sanctum of the Sages, a Pathfinder Society scenario written by RPG Superstar 2013 finalist Pedro Coelho for tier 3-7, was released in March 2014.

“

Uncovering the secrets of a Jeweled Sage reveals that the others are in grave danger, and the PCs set off after notorious jewel thieves before the criminals can disappear with another priceless treasure. When the trail leads to the sages' hidden sanctum deep within the Pillars of the Sun, the Pathfinders must draw upon both their own resourcefulness and the ancient historians' power if they are to preserve a millennia-old organization and Osirion's past.
