Metaplot and ongoing plots overview

Year of Faction's Favor badge

This season's metaplot details will be revealed after Gen Con 2018.

The Pathfinder Society finds itself in trouble as several of the organizations enemies conspire to take their revenge, bringing war to Absalom and peril to the Inner Sea. The Society's many factions seize a new chance to prove their value, one that may leave them changed forever.

In adventures and trials that would become the crucible for the transformation of these factions the Pathfinders averted the invasion, journey to the shores of Heaven itself, uncover hidden secrets, and vanquish an ageless mind-stealing evil. Players use faction resources to shut down an exploitative consortium, thwart a league of dangerous villains, and oust an infamous tyrant. One faction leader's schemes betray the cause he had champions for years, and it is left to the Pathfinders to decide whether or not to rescue him from the dire consequences of his actions.
