The Secrets Stones Keep, a Pathfinder Society scenario for tier 5-9 written by Larry Wilhelm, was released in July 2013. It is the third and final chapter in the Glories of the Past adventure arc, which links the Pathfinder Society Roleplaying Guild seasons Year of the Risen Rune and Year of the Demon.

“

Deep beneath the orc city of Urgir in the Hold of Belkzen lie the ruins of the ancient dwarven Sky Citadel of Koldukar, where awaits what could be the greatest discovery of the Age of Lost Omens: confirmation of the location of one of the lost Sky Citadels, built by the dwarves in their earliest days on the surface of Golarion. But reaching their destination won't be easy for the Pathfinders, and only the most skilled will survive Urgir and the terrors guarding the dwarves' long-abandoned secrets. Can they uncover the location of the lost Sky Citadel, or will the Pathfinders suffer the same fate as Koldukar—defeat at the hands of ruthless orcs and centuries of decay under the earth?
