Test your convictions. In a land without fate and a world too often void of justice, it falls to the gods to make or break the people who call upon them for salvation -- or draw their ire. Swear yourself to the might of the gods and the power of their causes, or reject their offerings to live a life that's yours and yours alone! Lost Omens Gods & Magic offers details on major gods found in the Inner Sea region, including what forms their pleasure or wrath might take. It also presents rules for over a hundred other deities and philosophies so you can find the cause that best fits your convictions and take up weapons and magic in its service!

Every year when the leaves begin to fall, the small town of Kassen conducts a rite of passage in which it sends a band of young, would-be adventurers to the abandoned crypt of the town founder to recover the Everflame, a magical fire that is kept burning throughout the winter. Each year the youths' mettle is tested by traps, illusory monsters, and other challenges before returning home to a festival honoring their coming of age. Yet this year something has gone terribly wrong! Now the adventurers face real danger, and the fate of the town rests on their inexperienced shoulders! Designed specifically for the new Pathfinder Roleplaying Game rules and designed by Jason Bulmahn, the new game's primary designer, Crypt of the Everflame spotlights exciting new rules updates and character abilities, making it an ideal introductory adventure for Pathfinder RPG players.
