Orders from the Gate
Orders from the Gate, a Pathfinder Society scenario written by Cole Kronewitter for tier 5-9, was released on June 29, 2016.
“Ongoing unrest in Cheliax has strained the nation's military resources, so when the Order of the Gate sensed an imminent disaster brewing in the Menador Mountains, it had to seek outside assistance. The Pathfinder Society has answered the call. After all, the same site the Hellknights identified is one of the ancient ruins the Society has long wanted to study. Can the PCs salvage the site's historic wonders while also honoring their commitment to the Order of the Gate?
Content in Orders from the Gate also contributes directly to the ongoing storyline of the Dark Archive faction.
