Lost Cities: Nal-Vashkin and the Sun Temple Colony

Far across the Arcadian Ocean, the shattered remains of Azlant ascend from the sea like drowning skeletons. Beyond a maze of jagged cliffs and a bleached bone-yard of wave-ravaged shipwrecks, the decayed remains of the sacred city of Nal-Vashkin rise high above the water, its churches and spires still resonating with perversions of divine glory.

People of the Inner Sea: The Azlanti

The Azlanti are an ancient race that inhabited Golarion for many thousands of years and are now widely believed to be extinct. In the past, however, the empire of Azlant was the first, and arguably the greatest, of humanity’s civilizations, spanning an entire continent situated to the east of Arcadia and the west of both Avistan and Garund.

The fate of Castle Arudora and other legends

Woe to those in whose veins flows the blood of Bastardhall, for every drop is a sanguine link in immortal bindings neither age nor anguish must ever be allowed to rust.

Ustalav: A fog-shrouded land of gothic horror

Cursed with a history of tragedy and faded glory, the Immortal Principality of Ustalav clings to its legendary past even as it struggles to forget centuries of horrors. From the fog-shrouded cliffs of Lake Encarthan to the tangled maze of the Shudderwood, the fractious nation bears an infamous reputation as a place of birth and rebirth for tyrants.
