Beneath Forgotten Sands
Beneath Forgotten Sands, a Pathfinder Society scenario for tier 5-9 written by Greg A. Vaughan and Kevin Wright, was released in November 2010.
“Beneath the desolate deserts of godless Rahadoum, the Pathfinder Society races against time to beat the traitorous Shadow Lodge to an ancient Jistkan citadel. But their rivals aren't the only obstacle in the PCs' way: the long-lost ruins teem with terrible outsiders set on manipulation and destruction, including a self-proclaimed avatar of the div god Ahriman. Beneath Forgotten Sands brings the three-part Heresy of Man series to a stunning conclusion.
