Mummy's Mask

From PathfinderWiki
Mummy's Mask

Mummy's Mask is the fourteenth campaign to grace the pages of the Pathfinder Adventure Path series, and ran from February 2014 through to July 2014. It is set in the Garundi nation of Osirion and deals with the possible rebirth of the ancient pharaoh Hakotep I.

The ancient lands of Osirion are blanketed by the sands of time, and eldritch secrets and vast riches lay just beneath the sun-blistered surface. As modern Osirion opens its vaults and tombs to outsiders for the first time in centuries, many of these lost treasures and secrets are now emerging—some more troublesome than others. Hakotep I, a now-forgotten pharaoh, was robbed upon his burial. A secret sect took his heart and his funerary mask, both containing a portion of his soul. Betrayed the chance to pass on into the afterlife during his burial, Hakotep has existed in a state between life and death for millennia. The recent rediscovery of one of these lost soul fragments has allowed the trapped pharaoh to once again work in this world to redress the wrongs committed against him, and a cult worshipping him as a god-king grows in the heart of Osirion. Can a group of heroes brave terrible guardians, foul cults, and the burning sands of the desert to stop the rebirth of this ancient tyrant?

With the clues they gain there, the heroes venture deep into Osirion's uncharted deserts in search of the tomb of the architect who built Hakotep's pyramid, facing dangerous denizens of the desert as well as the cult of the Forgotten Pharaoh, who will stop at nothing to ensure their god-king remains undisturbed.

Will the heroes call down the flying pyramid of the Sky Pharaoh from the sky, or will their bones join the thousands of skeletons that lie within the Slave Trenches of Hakotep?
