History
The Pathfinder Campaign Setting line was launched in February 2008 with the release of the Rise of the Runelords Map Folio under the Pathfinder Chronicles product line. Releases under this series title continued through August 2010, after which the line was rebranded to its current name. The campaign setting itself also dropped "Chronicles" from its name to adopt the product line's new name.
The line ended with Druma, Profit and Prophecy in June 2019 as the final Pathfinder First Edition setting sourcebook, and was succeeded by the Pathfinder Lost Omens line, starting with the Lost Omens World Guide.
