Pathfinder Universe - Chain Guide

Intrepid sailors in search of gold and glory need no further than the vast wild archipelago of the Chains. In these islands, undead cyclops protect vaults with millennia-old treasures, lycanthropic pirates maraud on the sea lanes and cannibal natives sacrifice intruders to their queen goddess. In the treacherous waters of the Chains, a reckless sailor can even rise to the rank of Free Captain, infamous individuals who respond only to the King of the Hurricane himself. That said, the raptor pirates who plunder the ports of the archipelago ensure that only the most cunning and fastest sailors survive for a while.

The Chain Guide offers a comprehensive overview of the lush islands that make up the region and provides a wealth of information on the treasures buried there, the reckless filibusters of the region and the disturbing ruins of a fallen empire. In this book, you will find:
- A presentation of the six civilized regions of the Chains, from the immense continental port of the metropolis of Port-peril to the sahuagin-inhabited shores of Shark Island, accompanied by stories, information about the leaders and notables of the places and an atlas of the various areas of interest of each locality.
- Detailed information on more than twenty islands and islets of the Chain, among the most dangerous and mysterious, all accompanied by adventure primers, helpful or devious NPCs and unique regions that the bravest adventurers can choose to explore.
- Each island comes with its profile, specifying its most important villages and inhabitants, as well as the type of resources and loot available, such as a hidden port or shipwrecks.
- A huge bestiary bringing together monsters and villains who roam the islands and waters of the Chains, such as the three-headed lusque, the undead pirates and their ghostly captain or the degenerate kurus cannibals of the bloody Queen.
- Profiles for many NPCs working with the sea, from humble dockworkers to smugglers to captains and bewitchers.

The Chain Guide is designed specifically for the Role-playing game Pathfinder and its universe but it easily integrates with any fantasy universe.
