Shades of Blood Player's Guide, a Pathfinder Adventure Path supplement by Adam Daigle, was released on March 27, 2025

“

The quiet daily life of Talmandor's Bounty, a settlement on a remote island in what remains of Azlant, is thrown into turmoil as a column of shadow erupts from the sea in the distance. The column then strikes a point in the atmosphere and begins spreading out like ink poured into an inverted bowl. The shadows rush across the surface of the sea, bringing to Talmandor's Bounty dangerous shadow creatures.
You were hired as a research assistant to an astronomer who was hoping to study a stellar eclipse, a rare astronomical phenomenon. You arrive at Talmandor's Bounty and take part in the preparations for an excursion into the jungle to study the event at an ancient Azlanti observatory—and then things go poorly. Can you help figure out what caused the column of shadow and put a stop to it? If you think you can, get your characters ready for the Shades of Blood Adventure Path.

Inside the Shades of Blood Player's Guide, you'll find player-friendly, spoiler-free tips and advice to help you create an exciting and engaging character ready to take on what awaits. Contents include:

Character suggestions, including recommendations for ancestries, classes, languages, skills, and feats well suited for this Adventure Path.

Six new backgrounds specific to a character signing up to venture to ruined Azlant, such as Stargazer, Knack for Contraptions, and Student of the Ancients.

A condensed gazetteer of Talmandor's Bounty so you can get a feel for your new home away from home.
