This article covers the Pathfinder Society scenario. For the in-universe location, see Tower of the Ironwood Watch (Varisia).

Tower of the Ironwood Watch, a Pathfinder Society scenario for tier 5-9 written by Sam Polak, was released in March 2013.

“

On the edge of Varisia's Mierani Forest stand the ruins of an ancient guardtower that once served as the native elves' first line of defense against the threat of invasion from the bordering Thassilonian realm of Envy. Just as the elves fled Golarion to avoid the destruction of Earthfall, so too did they leave behind the Tower of the Ironwood Watch, which the Pathfinder Society now hopes to explore—a task that could prove more dangerous than anyone anticipates.
