Library of the Lion
Library of the Lion, a Pathfinder Society scenario for tier 1-5 written by John Compton and Kyle Elliott, was released in December 2013.
“Few societies have so vaunted a tradition of leading crusades as Taldor, yet the constant revisions to its history by scheming factions leaves the truth obscured by countless acts of political modifications. Even the lauded Kitharodian Academy's texts are riddled with these changes, so when a secretive ally approaches the Pathfinder Society with information about a hidden archive that contains the unaltered histories, the Pathfinders plan a daring infiltration to recover the secrets of Taldor's past victories so that Mendev might benefit from the discovery.
