Pathfinder Society expeditions
The Pathfinder Society is justly famed for the activities of its members, which are recorded in the Pathfinder Chronicles. Pathfinders travel throughout Golarion in search of lost knowledge and ancient treasures.
The form of each expedition varies based on the conditions on the ground and the personalities of the Pathfinders involved. Sometimes they operate openly as archaeologists; in other cases they work in secret as tomb robbers. In some cases this secrecy even extends to their superiors in the organisation.1
Notable treasures
Among the many items recovered by Pathfinders are the following:1
- Bones of Founder Raccona
- Clasp of the Mind Scream
- Entwined syrinx
- Felhart
- Golden dragon kite
- Hand of Abendego
- Dream Journal of the Pallid Seer
