The Power of Legends, a Pathfinder Society scenario written by Linda Zayas-Palmer for tier 9–12, was released on January 29, 2025. Paizo renamed the scenario from Of Myths and Legends on December 18, 2024.

“

The Godsrain has caused chaos throughout Golarion, but it has also caused opportunity. The rain of pieces of Gorum's Armor, the Warshards, has lead to a race of various groups to collect these artifacts, either for study or more nefarious purposes. The Pathfinder Society has collected several themselves, and learned of a way to find more. When they employed this ritual, though, it pointed to the Netherworld within the Gravelands. A piece of surpassing size and power lies within the reach of Tar Baphon, the Whispering Tyrant. Fortunately the Society has a plane-hopping airship gained in its defeat of the hag Aslynn, as well as some strange fruit empowered by the silver rain that can grant the power of mythic heroes. But will that be enough to retrieve this item of power before the Whispering Tyrant claims it?

Map support

The following map products are used in this scenario, in addition to two custom maps:

• Warship Flip-Mat
• Haunted Battlefield Flip-Mat
• Elemental Planes Flip-Mat Multi-Pack
• Fortress Chambers Expansion Set Flip-Tiles

The map list above matches the list on the Paizo Store and is accurate to the scenario's contents. The map list in the scenario's "GM Resources" section on page 2 inaccurately lists only Warship Flip-Mat and Villain Lairs Set Flip-Tiles, the latter of which is not used in the scenario.
