Hands of the Muted God
Hands of the Muted God, a Pathfinder Society Roleplaying Guild scenario written by Clinton Boomer for tiers 5-6 and 8-9, was released in June 2009 and was retired from Pathfinder Society play on November 15, 2010.
“When the man who would be the Muted God wordlessly stepped beyond the gates of the Starstone Cathedral, his thousand and one faithful ringing the Ascendant Court watched with the silent contemplation that is their highest sacrament. When he failed to emerge, many of his penitents abandoned their vows but a small sect remained loyal and worshipful. You and your fellow Pathfinders are sent into the mountains north of Absalom to follow the path of a doomed party and uncover the secrets of the Muted God. His loyal band of followers, called the Hand, will stop at nothing to keep you away from their shrine—even forming an alliance with some of Golarion's most evil denizens.
