{{Quote
| quote  = Thousands of years ago, a barrage of [[meteor]]s called forth from the vastness of space by [[human|humanity's]] [[alghollthu|greatest enemies]] rained down on [[Golarion]], cutting short the remarkable human empire of [[Azlant]] while plunging the world into an era of darkness. Since then, the shattered continent of Azlant has lured intrepid explorers to its broken shores, but few have the mettle to survive in the remains of this dangerous and mysterious land. Now, a hopeful expedition has established a colony on one of the nearest islands across the sea, but danger has struck the fledgling settlement. An ancient enemy was accidentally released from its prison and has resumed its millennium-old machinations to punish the hubris of humanity once again. Can the adventurers survive in a faraway land and track down this enigmatic being before its sinister plans can come to fruition?
