Pathfinder’s beloved iconic heroes make their fiction debut in Godsrain, set to release in November 2024. But the characters have existed since 2007 and have many existing adventures documented in flash fiction on the Paizo Blog and other promotional locations. Now, for the first time, readers can find these stories collected into a single volume, a perfect primer before diving into Godsrain or to further explore their history after meeting them for the first time. Inside, you’ll find the origins and selected past adventures of all six iconic heroes who appear in Godsrain: Kyra, the cleric, whose devotion to Sarenrae, goddess of the sun, healing, and redemption, is challenged only by her devotion to her wife… Merisiel, the elf rogue, whose life among the short-lived peoples of the world have made her Forlorn, a condition only exacerbated by her love for Kyra. Ezren, the wizard, who abandoned a posh life as a merchant’s son after discovering his father’s criminal past and devoted his life not to clearing his soiled name but to the study of the arcane. Amiri, the barbarian, whose exile from her tribe of nomadic hunters has left her with only her rage and her companions to provide solace in a dangerous world. Nahoa, the exemplar, who gained a spark of divinity while battling a mighty demon in the sky above his island home, and now travels the world to fulfill his Calling. Samo, the animist, who accompanies Nahoa and uses her connections to the spirits of the world to aid him and anyone in need. Before the Godsrain features over 30 works of flash and short fiction, including the origins of all six iconic heroes, updated and expanded for this publication; more than 20 entries from the popular Iconic Encounters series including Kyra and Merisiel’s wedding and the four-part “Returning Home” short story following Amiri’s return to her homeland after years of exile; and a bonus entry from the “Windsong Testaments” recounting the mythological battle between the gods at the dawn of time which plays a central role in the Godsrain novel. This collection also features 5 exclusive stories written by Godsrain author Liane Merciel and tabletop RPG luminary Owen K.C. Stephens, not available anywhere else. Whether you're exploring the world of Pathfinder and the lives of the iconic heroes before or after reading Godsrain, there's no better time than now to dive into what happened Before the Godsrain.

It isn't often gods die, but Aroden's enigmatic demise on the eve of his prophesied return, when he was said to usher in an age of glory for humanity, had more ramifications than his simple death. For when Aroden died a century ago, prophecy died with him. Since that day, in what has come to be known as the Age of Lost Omens, foretelling no longer works as it should, and a prophecy is more likely to be completely inaccurate than hold even a sliver of truth. When Yivali, a nosoi psychopomp in the service of the goddess of death, uncovers a series of foretellings called the Godsrain Prophecies as part of her research into the nature of divinity, she uncovers a vast web of predictions of the forthcoming death of another deity, and the ramifications of such. Follow along as Yivali digs into the prophecies, noting their contradictions and unsettling suggestions, and learn about the mysterious seer who penned them. Explore the secrets of the Godsrain, an event strangely absent from the prophecies that bear its name, yet which is detailed in such Pathfinder Roleplaying Game releases as War of Immortals, Prey for Death, and the Curtain Call Adventure Path, as well as the Godsrain novel by Liane Merciel. Dig into the exciting world of Pathfinder and the War of Immortals event today! Originally published as a series of blogs on Paizo.com, this collection includes expanded annotations by Yivali and brand-new content exploring the identity of the mysterious seer behind the prophecies.

The first Pathfinder novel in years promises a world-changing tale of epic scale set amidst the War of Immortals! Gods are not meant to die. They're supposed to be immortal, too powerful to be struck down or wither to dust like the people of Golarion. It has been more than a century since Aroden, god of humanity, met his mysterious doom, and his death ushered in a new era of uncertain prophecy and turmoil—the Age of Lost Omens. Now another god has died, his death broadcast across the skies in a metaphysical projection of his murder reverberating over any world on which he was worshipped. And from his rent corpse falls the Godsrain, a torrent of the god's blood and divine essence. Those touched by this rain are blessed—some would say cursed—with a god-spark that imbues upon them mythic power. Four veteran adventurers—the barbarian Amiri, the wizard Ezren, the cleric Kyra, and her wife, the elven rogue Merisiel—witness this calamity, and with their newfound mythic power find themselves on the trail of fell forces looking to capitalize on the chaos. Using their unique skills, nascent god-sparks, and even the firsthand blessings of one of Golarion's most potent deities, they must race against time and fate to prevent the greatest threat to Golarion and beyond from escaping an impenetrable prison. From fan-favorite author Liane Merciel (Hellknight, Nightglass, War of Immortals) comes a truly iconic adventure of high fantasy set in the award-winning world of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Follow the heroes from the desert bazaars of Osirion to the heart of the permanent hurricane known as the Eye of Abendego, as they come to terms with their own mortality, the tenuous powers of the immortal gods, and the new world that unfolds before them in the wake of the Godsrain.
