Author Description

A land chained in shadow Ten thousand years ago, faced with extinction, the terrified leaders of Nidal heard whispers in their minds-promises of salvation for their nation if only they'd submit their people's bodies and souls to perpetual servitude. Those leaders' assent transformed them into conduits for Zon-Kuthon, the god of envy and pain, and has sealed Nidal's fate to this day. Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Nidal, Land of Shadows draws back the curtain from one of Golarion's most wicked and mysterious theocracies. Within these pages, you'll find: Detailed descriptions of Nidal's history, including its tragic fall into Zon-Kuthon's grasp. An in-depth gazetteer of the entire nation, from settlements to more sinister features. Malevolent adventure sites from the Castle of the Captive Sun to the Tower of Slant Shadows. A bestiary of shadowy creatures, including the suffragan kyton, that lurk in Nidal and beyond. Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Nidal, Land of Shadows is intended for use with the Pathfinder campaign setting, but it can be easily adapted to any fantasy world.
