Way of the Kirin, a Pathfinder Society scenario for tier 3-7 written by Dennis Baker, was released in May 2013. The scenario serves as the retirement adventure of the Lantern Lodge faction, which was phased out of the campaign at the conclusion of Season 4.
| “ | On the eastern continent of Tian Xia, the Pathfinder Society remains a small player in the greater political landscape, but Amara Li, head of the Lantern Lodge in the teeming city of Goka, has plans to change that. In order to secure the Pathfinder Society's place as an influential organization on the far side of the world from the Grand Lodge in Absalom, she must orchestrate an alliance with the mysterious Way of the Kirin. But the longtime rival of the Pathfinder Society, the Aspis Consortium, has plans to form an alliance of its own, and if the consortium succeeds, the Pathfinder Society's hopes of cementing their place in the Dragon Empires could be dashed forever. | ” |
