From publisher blurb: Enter an enormous, ancient fantasy gaming world as rigorously realistic as ours, replete with dark, gritty, manipulative personalities and cultures – a place where racial and religious tensions are as real as any! In the Shadowlands, players will interface with ancient technologies, navigate byzantine layers of intrigue and survive just long enough to maybe achieve the power of the Old Gods themselves! Explore the world of Saemyyr! Dare the dangerous streets of the decadent and imperialistic Tar Sequin Empire or delve into the cold north, where the fierce and independent northmen of Valgaard hold the most brutal courts! Enter the mystical forest of Sylvænyr, where the Dætholayn still stand guard against all outsiders. Or journey to the wild dangerous steppes of Torán, whose brave riders value nothing as much as a loyal mount and strong sword and the courage to face the encroaching Shadowlands! Or, brave the jungles outside Tarina, where ancient evils still stir! A step-by-step outline aimed at helping players build characters that are suitable for any Shadowlands campaign setting adventure, including how each class and race from the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game are treated in the Shadowlands!
