In Service to Lore, a Pathfinder Society scenario by Adam Daigle, was released in July 2011.

During the launch of the Year of the Demon at Gen Con 2013, which removed required Society factions from play, this scenario was retired in favor of The Confirmation. The decision was announced at PaizoCon 2013. It was later revived with the launch of the Year of the Stolen Storm in 2016, when it was designated as an evergreen scenario in version 8.0 of the Pathfinder Society Roleplaying Guild Guide.

“

In your first mission as a Pathfinder agent, the head of the Grand Lodge sends you on a number of missions throughout the metropolis of Absalom, pitting you against traps, thieves, and even an unruly devil, all in the pursuit of knowledge.
