The city-states of Iblydos rule an archipelago steeped in mythic power, legendary beasts, and ancient history. Yet the region suffers; the myth-speaking rites that elevate great heroes into mortal demigods are failing, with few of the hero-gods surviving to guide their people and grant magic. All of this changes when a god's death awakens a forgotten source of mythic potential, transforming the player characters into the first new hero-gods in recent memory. But what is this mythic power, and will it revitalize Iblydos or doom it entirely? The port of Bailax hosts lavish funeral games for a recently deceased hero, inviting visitors and locals alike to compete for prizes and glory. However, an ominous meteor crashes nearby and interrupts the festivities. What the adventurers find there won't just transform them into mythic hero-gods, but also will incite Bailax to violent revelry and arson. Can the new hero-gods stop the city from self-destruction? The Acropolis Pyre is a Pathfinder Second Edition adventure for four 1st-level characters. This adventure begins the Myth-Speaker Adventure Path, a three-part campaign in which the player characters assume the role of regional hero-gods and have the opportunity to restore the tradition of myth-speaking to a realm inspired by Ancient Greece. This volume also includes a look at existing hero-gods of Iblydos, a gazetteer of the city of Bailax, a phoenix-blessed city of pyres, and a toolbox of new gear, spells, feats, and creatures from the mythic isles of Iblydos, from the mischievous torcheater to the magnificent pyrefowl. Each full-color softcover Pathfinder Adventure Path volume contains an in-depth adventure scenario, stats for several new monsters, and support articles meant to give Game Masters additional material to expand their campaign. Pathfinder Adventure Path volumes use the Open RPG Creative License and work with the remastered Pathfinder Second Edition and compatible roleplaying games.
