Introduction

The sands of the desert are unforgiving, and those who show weakness rarely survive. Beset by gnolls and genies, can the heroes stop a wish-maddened warlord from raising one of the infamous Spawn of Rovagug, a living holocaust cast down millennia before? In order to do so, they’ll need to brave sand, flame, and the terrors of the Outer Planes—yet the forces at work against them are limited only by the reach of their imagination. And the enemy has had thousands of years to prepare…

The Legacy of Fire Adventure Path begins in the desert nation of Katapesh, where the heroes must attempt to retake a conquered town from a pack of fearsome gnolls. From there, the trail leads to the fortress known as the House of the Beast, an ancient map-world created by one of the most powerful wizards in history, and even the legendary City of Brass on the Plane of Fire.

Book 20 – House of the Beast

In order to root out a new evil at its source, the heroes must venture into the ominous and ancient fortress known as the House of the Beast, from which the Carrion King and his gnolls raid the surrounding countryside – and guard a treasure even they fear to claim.

Book 21 – The Jackal’s Price

The discovery of an ancient map leads the heroes into the heart of the market city known as Katapesh, as well as into a web of intrigue as various factions scheme to relieve them of their prize. But could it be that the map itself contains an entire world? Also includes an exploration of the markets of Katapesh and the secret world of genies, as well as Channa Ti’s subterranean adventures with the bizarre jackal-gremlins known as pugwampis.

Book 22 – The End of Eternity

Drawn into a secret demiplane hidden inside their magical map, the heroes uncover mystical wonders and legendary beasts—but is this wondrous land a paradise or a prison?
