In Glorious Battle
In Glorious Battle, a Pathfinder Society scenario written by Luis Loza for tier 9-12, was released on June 28, 2023.
“Though Tar-Baphon's malevolent presence is thought to be the scourge of Ustalav and the Gravelands, it's also distinctly felt within the Hold of Belkzen. Belkzen has been preparing for the next assault since the Battle of Nine Broken Skulls, when Tar-Baphon attempted to wipe out Belkzen, making them an example to the rest of Avistan. However, Belkzen won that battle, with a pivotal role played by the Burning Suns, led by Mahja Firehair. The Whispering Way, though, is patient, and while the orcs won a brief respite, they are not safe. One of Tar-Baphon's chief lieutenants, Geir, is planning a major assault. Mahja has learned of this, and has called up the Pathfinders for aid. They need her connection to Ardax White-Hair, the overlord of Urgir, and so the Society has sent a group of their very strongest to aid in what is sure to be one of the most intense battles in the Broken Lands.
