The Merchant's Wake, a Pathfinder Society scenario for tier 1-5 written by Justin Juan, was released in May 2014.
| “ | A powerful Qadiran trade prince has died, and faction leader Aaqir al'Hakam rushes to his homeland to attend his mentor's funeral. As an act of support, the Pathfinder Society sends the PCs as representatives to the event; however the death of such a influential merchant and politician has created a considerable power vacuum, and ambitious acquaintances across the Inner Sea are in attendance to pay their respects, claim a piece of the trade prince's legacy, and undercut their rivals' attempts to do the same. Can the Pathfinders keep this somber event from spiraling into a bloodbath? | ” |
