Abomination Vaults is the twenty-eighth Pathfinder Adventure Path and the first three-volume Pathfinder Adventure Path published by Paizo Inc., and ran from January 2021 to March 2021. It is loosely tied to the Second Edition Pathfinder Beginner Box, which is also set in Otari, and provides an easier to manage first campaign for players and gamemasters. It is also focused on a large dungeon complex, something Paizo had wanted to do for some time, but Paizo considered that six volumes would be too much to keep interest in a single site.[1]

Hands of the Devil
|
Written by Vanessa Hoskins
|
Released February 2021
|
| Beware when dealing with devils! The Abomination Vaults sprawl far beneath the mysterious Gauntlight, and it's time to take weapons, torches, and wits into the deeper dungeons. Here, vile fleshcrafters labor to create armies of monsters for their long-dead leader, and a force of devils still work to maintain order among the feral and fractious monsters. An unlikely ally can reveal the secrets of the Abomination Vaults, but his price is steep and must be paid in blood.

Eyes of Empty Death

Written by Stephen Radney-MacFarland
|
Released March 2021
|
| Death lurks in the darkness! The deepest levels of the Abomination Vaults contain massive caverns and a relic left behind by one of the Outer Gods. The heroes must negotiate the ruthless politics of insular drow, vampiric urdefhans, and stranger creatures for the tools they need to vanquish Belcorra Haruvex. Yet even as the heroes grow nearer, the undead sorcerer's power increases, and the heroes must put her to rest before she claims the full might of her malevolent patron.
