Federal Way, WA 98023 Printed in USA. makeyourgamelegendary.com ii Welcome to the Aegis of Empires Adventure Path Welcome to the Lost Lands, the campaign setting of the adventures and books by Frog God Games and Necromancer Games before it! “But this is Legendary Games?” you say. Yes, yes it is, but as the principal developer of the Lost Lands setting — having the privilege and pleasure of combing through every single product, word-by-word, from those two companies’ considerable catalog of books to determine how it all fit together into a coherent whole — I had the opportunity to continue my work with the setting. By mutual agreement upon the end of my tenure with Frog God Games in 2018, I was able to provide them with the bible of Lost Lands material I had been collating since 2010 and was graciously allowed to retain the rights to continue to make my own contributions to the setting I had poured so much into in Lost Lands- compatible products. I also purchased the rights to the Aegis of Empires Adventure Path that had already been in the works for some time (though under the name Ashes of Empires at that time, and changed due to similarities in titles from other companies that were being released in a similar timeframe), so I could continue the development I had already started on it and nurture it through to the end. That Legendary Games was willing to adopt such a project, was icing on the cake and what has allowed me to put this product into your hands. Special Electronic Features We've hyperlinked this product internally from the Table of Contents and externally with links to the official Pathfinder Reference Document as well as d20PFSRD. If it is in the core rulebook, we generally didn't link to it unless the rule is an obscure one. The point is not to supersede the game books, but rather to help support you, the player, in accessing the rules, especially those from newer books or that you may not have memorized. About Legendary Games Legendary Games is an all-star team of authors and designers, founded by Clark Peterson of Necromancer Games, Inc. Legendary Games uses a cooperative, team-based approach to bring you, the Paizo fan, the best expansion material for your game. We are gamers and storytellers 1st, and we believe that passion shows in our products. So check us out, and Make Your Game Legendary! Visit us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, and check out our website at www.makeyourgamelegendary.com. iii What You Will Find Inside The Aegis of Empires Player's Guide In cooperation with Frog God Games, The Aegis of Empires Player’s Guide provides system neutral details on background, geography, environs, and the peoples to be found in the regions of the Lost Lands covered in the Aegis of Empires Adventure Path. This includes regional maps of the Kingdoms of Foere, the Grand Duchy of Reme, and the Kingdom of the Vast, connecting the lands of Akados from the Crescent Sea in the west, where the City-Stage of Castorhage (aka The Blight) broods on its island shore, to the March of Mountains in the east, where the Borderland Provinces touch on the central realms of Foere, to the Wizard’s Wall and beyond in the north. These realms form the crux of the Lost Lands, and this player’s guide allows you to see them in a player-friendly format at a level of detail in which they’ve never before been explored. And all of it is extensively cited to the Frog God Games and Necromancer Games products from which the original materials are drawn, so die-hard Lost Lands fans can delve into the sources to see for themselves how it all fits together. Also included in the player’s guide is an expansive history of the nations (also with extensive citations) to easily see how these realms fit into the overall story of the Lost Lands as has been revealed in nearly two decades of Lost Lands books from Frog God Games and Necromancer Games. In addition, a comprehensive list of the common deities of the Lost Lands is included along with complete breakdowns of the ancient Hyperborean and modern Foerdewaith pantheons. Unlike the rest of the book’s system neutral format, the entries for these deities provides the necessary game mechanics for 5th Edition as well as for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game (in both 1st and 2nd Edition formats). The Aegis of Empires Player’s Guide is the perfect accessory for GMs and players alike for the Aegis of Empires Adventure Path or to just launch a campaign in the newly revealed Kingdoms of Foere. Don’t miss out on this treasure trove of Lost Lands lore. Legendary Games was founded on the principle of delivering first-class product for your Pathfinder Roleplaying Game experience, brought to you by the very authors who design and contribute to the adventures, hardbacks, and campaign supplements you are already using. The Legendary Games tradition is to combine rich story and background, innovative layout, beautiful aesthetics, and excellence in design that is second to none. This product is the latest in that tradition, and we hope you enjoy using it as much as we enjoyed making it.

  • Collectors Checklist by Richard © 2001, Version 2.7
    Dungeons&Dragons Collectors Checklist by Richard © 2001, version 2.7 Well met and welcome to the Collectors Checklist! I made this checklist for myself to keep track of what TSR products I own. Many times was I in the position to photocopy (“Xerox”) a module or booklet that the owner didn’t wish to sell. So gradually my collection expanded with not only genuine products but also with photocopies. Since the coming of the officially digitized classic products (PDF) it is even harder to keep track of what product you own in what format. With the Collectors Checklist you will be able to sort your whole Dungeons&Dragons collection, no matter what the format is! For those out there who haven’t got a clue, here’s how to use the Collectors Checklist: TSR-Code : The product’s publishing code Sub-Code : When a product belongs to a specific group of products it carries this code Title : The product’s title (dah!) Hardcopy : Check this if you have the original item Copy : Check this if you have a copy (Xeroxcopy for instance) of the original product PDF : Check this if you have a digital copy(.pdf/.doc/etc.) of the original product HINT: you can even write down the number when you own more than one copy of a product ; ) If you think any items are missing, please mail me at [email protected] . Feel free to copy/share/print this list. Please visit these websites for the best Dungeons&Dragons archives on the Internet : http://www.acaeum.com http://home.flash.net/~brenfrow/index.htm .

  • The Native Races Of: Introduction
    The Native Races of: Introduction The planes are a vast and wondrous expans full of incredible sights and sounds that make the material plane seem banal and dull by extension. Though few are lucky enough to be able to leave their world behind and explore the incredible and fantastic locations offered by other planes of existence, the handful that are are forever changed by the experience. We want to bring some of that magic to your gaming table, and bring the planes alive, one plane at a time. For now, we’ve decided to begin with the elemental plane of fire. There are a variety of reasons, including the fact that it is the home of the iconic City of Brass, the fact that it hasn’t been explored with as much depth as many other planes, and the fact that it is home to numerable human-like (if not exactly humanoid) races. But mostly, we chose the elemental plane of fire because we felt that it had great potential not only as a beautiful backdrop for games, but also for a setting unto itself, with its own movers and shakers, and its own concerns and problems, separate from the material plane. This short piece provides a sample of some of the game mechanics for The Traveler’s Guide to the Elemental Plane of Fire. It provides racial traits for the four main native races on the plane (azer, efreeti, fire elementals, and salamanders), as well as the first five levels of each race’s associated class, which is designed to allow players access to the various abilities and powers that are often associated with such exotic entities, through a means that allows for high degrees of flexibility and customizability.
