Sorrowwraiths | Part One: Allies in the Dark (Pathfinder 2e)

Sorrowwraiths is an adventure path about hunting monsters, helping allies through hard times, and saving communities in a city that is almost beyond saving. Dive into an industrial dystopia of poverty, pollution and exploitation, where laws and morality apply only to the poor, where technological progress overtakes ethical concerns, and where myriad monsters and curses prey upon the population. The city has lost its last group of protectors and someone new needs to pick up the torch...

Allies in the Dark is Part One (of Five) and takes characters from 1st to 6th level. The heroes are introduced to the city and its issues. They get to investigate the disappearance of the Lochtengren's previous defenders, rescue and recruit some of them as allies, and expose the schemes of those who have turned villainous.

• This book is compatible with Pathfinder Second Edition.
• The adventure is set in a homebrew world but takes place entirely in one city, so it can be transposed to another setting. Any expansionist empire going through an industrial revolution will do!
• Gameplay-wise, the main focus is on roleplaying and creative solutions. Most of the encounters have interesting environments or alternative objectives/win conditions.
• Many of the situations are designed to provoke discussions about society and ethics.
• There is a cast of recurring NPC allies and villains. The players get to drag along one ally on each of their adventures, so the GM can provide witty banter or the occasional support spell.
• The adventure is designed to have lots of downtime (a week between chapters; three months after Part One) to allow for more slice-of-life moments and break up the action-packed adventuring.
• The appendices contain some optional ideas about running "monstrous" characters and about making dying more interesting.
• Part One takes approximately 75 hours to play through.
