Pathfinder Chronicles: Osirion¸ Land of Pharaos
The race is on to discover the lost treasures of ancient Osirion¸ seat of the Pharaohs of antiquity. Scoundrels¸ archaeologists¸ Pathfinders¸ and foreigners scour the sand-choked pyramids and temples of this once mighty kingdom. Pathfinder Companion: Osirion¸ Land of Pharaohs provides a comprehensive overview of Osirion from its star-crossed ancient history¸ to its treacherous modern politics. A complete gazetteer of the nation's teeming¸ monument-laden capital of Sothis provides a great resource for player characters from - and for Game Masters running campaigns set in - the pulp-inspired nation of Osirion.

Inside its weathered pyramids and ruined temples¸ mummies¸ curses¸ and worse horrors guard the opulent tombs of long-dead god-kings against thieves of all sorts. Now¸ with the Ruby Prince opening some of the nation's most famous and deadly locations to exploration¸ adventurers and scholars from across the world are converging on Osirion to make their fortunes or die trying. Do you have what it takes to master the secrets of the past?
