Age of Ashes

The Age of Ashes adventure path from Paizo, converted to Pathfinder 1st Edition.

The mysterious fires burning atop an abandoned Hellknight citadel are but the first of many discoveries waiting to be uncovered in this campaign of continent-spanning  conflict against cultists, slavers, and a fiery draconic devastation that could unleash an Age of Ashes upon the world!

Roleplay Challenge: The Harrow

To form our backgrounds in this campaign, we took inspiration from the following suggestion made by one of our players:

Build a storyline around the Harrow. Maybe a travelling fortune teller or some other source intercepts the backstory of each player. In character, that person or being gives the player a card from her reading that represents them and tells them to be in Breachill at a given time/date to find the rest of lay (the cards laid out during the reading).

Each player chooses a card from a harrow deck that represents our idea for the character.
