Raid on the Cloudborne Keep
Raid on the Cloudborne Keep, a Pathfinder Society scenario written by Sean McGowan for Tier 5-9, was released on July 26, 2017.
“Followers of the evil elemental lord of air Hshurha have learned of the Pathfinder Society's plans to break open the Untouchable Opal and release Hshurha's ancient rival. One of Hshurha's lieutenants is gathering forces to deal a decisive blow to the Society and its new allies in the Concordance of Elements. If the PCs act quickly, they can make a daring strike, commandeering an airship on the Plane of Air and overtaking their enemy's fortress before it has the chance to rally its army. Content in Raid on the Cloudborne Keep also contributes directly to the ongoing storyline of the Silver Crusade faction.
