This was reported to the Nerosyan leadership, who in turn have pressured Venture-Captain Jorsal of Lauterbury to get involved. Jorsal has decided to send the PCs, to investigate the site itself, assuming that a place so near the city likely isn't much of a threat.1

The Pathfinders find themselves invited to a charity dinner to benefit the Knights of Lastwall fighting in far-off lands against the lich king, Tar-Baphon.

A small earthquake and landslide near the mining operations of Marivit Kopje, a Kalistocrat of minor standing, have opened a vault long thought lost. Shimia Renveld was an oddity even among Kalistocrats. She collected oddities that held no real monetary value, or at least that was what she thought.

In trying to stabilize itself, new entrances and exits appeared, one in a Tanuki village in Minkai. The tanuki had some fun pranking travelers in the maze until some Pathfinder agents defeated them at their own games. Now the village is on good terms with the Society, but the Pathfinders would like to have a lodge in the village to oversee this new exit.

It isn't often gods die, but Aroden's enigmatic demise on the eve of his prophesied return, when he was said to usher in an age of glory for humanity, had more ramifications than his simple death. For when Aroden died a century ago, prophecy died with him. Since that day, in what has come to be known as the Age of Lost Omens, foretelling no longer works as it should, and a prophecy is more likely to be completely inaccurate than hold even a sliver of truth.

When Yivali, a nosoi psychopomp in the service of the goddess of death, uncovers a series of foretellings called the Godsrain Prophecies as part of her research into the nature of divinity, she uncovers a vast web of predictions of the forthcoming death of another deity, and the ramifications of such.

Follow along as Yivali digs into the prophecies, noting their contradictions and unsettling suggestions, and learn about the mysterious seer who penned them. Explore the secrets of the Godsrain, an event strangely absent from the prophecies that bear its name, yet which is detailed in such Pathfinder Roleplaying Game releases as War of Immortals, Prey for Death, and the Curtain Call Adventure Path, as well as the Pathfinder: Godsrain novel by Liane Merciel. Dig into the exciting world of Pathfinder and the War of Immortals event today!

Many newer agents are often sent to the Three Gates Lodge to make sure that the wildlife on the island isn't out of control, and that the various allies that the Society made when claiming the lodge are rewarded for their continued aid. The tasks are routine, as the greatest threats were dealt with when initially setting up the lodge, and Venture-Captain Kukuha Mukai performed a ritual utilizing the ley-lines. This ritual is a form of powerful defensive magic and almost guarantees safety from all but the direst threats. The PCs are the latest agents dispatched for this duty.
