Athos, the bloodstained streets of Beirut, the slums of Naples, and beyond--Fox offers an astonishingly vivid human mosaic that answers the questions, "Who are the new Mediterraneans, and what is the future of their world?"

Book Description
Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Castles of the Inner Sea provides a detailed overview of six of Golarion's most storied citadels, bastions that might serve as the setting of entire adventures, homes to allies and enemies, or the headquarters of the land's most capable adventurers. Each features elaborate overview maps and detailed descriptions of the most noteworthy floors, structures, or dungeons. Famous and infamous castles explored in this 64-page book include: * Castle Everstand, a magically created bastion of heroic knights that protects Lastwall from endless tides of rampaging orcs. * Castle Kronquist, the haunted keep of a vampirc conqueror and his legion of ancient undead abominations. * The Cloud Castle of the Storm King, an elusive, soaring structure inhabited by a tempestuous clan of cloud giant wanderers. * Citadel Vriad, the infamous fortress of Varisia's Hellknights, a grim edifice from which the lawless never return. * Highhelm, an unbreechable mountain fortress that holds the capital of an entire dwarven nation. * Icerift Castle, ruins chilled by arctic cold and a tragedy that endlessly hungers for mortal life. Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Castles of the Inner Sea is intended for use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and the Pathfinder campaign setting, but can easily be used in any fantasy game setting.

Book Description
Whether they're the starting points of incredible campaigns, communities facing unfathomable dangers, or merely places for adventurers to rest and resupply, vibrantly detailed towns are vital to any fantasy adventure. Towns of the Inner Sea explores six small but richly detailed settlements from the Pathfinder campaign setting. Each entry provides insights into the town's history, culture, and residents, as well as what dangers lurk in the shadows. Numerous adventure hooks, full-page maps, and stat blocks for key NPCs make these towns fully realized settings, ready for Game Masters to drop into campaigns whenever they're needed. This book contain details on the following distinctive towns: ►Diobel: What you can't get in Absalom, you can get in this notorious smuggler's port. ►Falcon's Hollow: Were monsters and curses not enough, the ambitions of this town's greedy overseers would still trap its residents in mud and sawdust. ►Ilsurian: Torn between rival city-states, this Varisian town bows to no master. ►Pezzak: This sheltered port defies the rulers of the devil-dominated nation of Cheliax, its rebel spirit burning strong despite its scheming overlords. ►Solku: This pious fortress-town faces constant threats from nearby gnoll tribes, and while its walls stand unbreached, none can say for how much longer. ►Trunau: Trapped on the wrong side of the border with the orcs of Belkzen, the citizens of this stronghold stand fast against savagery. Towns of the Inner Sea is intended for use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and the Pathfinder campaign setting, but can easily be used in any fantasy game.
