Cenotaph
This enormous black monolith-once the
stronghold of a runelord of ancient Thassilon­
supposedly contains the key to ancient arcane
powers just waiting for an ambitious and worthy
necromancer to unlock them.
Mordant Spire
As old as the aboleths, the Mordant Spire
is thought to have housed elven spies from
Celwynvian tasked with keeping dangerous
knowledge from Azlant. However, the actual
origin story of this lone spire remains a mystery.
It is said that during the gods' battle against
Rovagug, the then-goodly Zon-Kuthon forged
these massive spires. Their power healed a dying
world, and to this day the Star Towers help keep the
Rough Beast imprisoned and all of creation safe.
Sunderer of worlds and giver of godly might,
the
Starstone
is arguably the most famous
mythic relic on all of Golarion. Those who
attempt the Test of the
Starstone
and survive
come back forever changed and empowered.
Doorway
to
the Red Star
This ruined, three-part cathedral lies deep
in the Mwangi Expanse and surrounds a
mysterious ring of red stone-a legendary
artifact that supposedly acts as a gateway
between Golarion and a distant planet.
Beneath the Spellscar Desert lie wells of unbridled
arcane power-the manifested aftermath of the
war between Nex and Geb-whose turbulent
eruptions plague the Mana Wastes with eldritch
storms and geysers of primal magic.

FOCUS
CHARACTERS
This Player Companion highlights
options specific to characters of
the following clas s e s , in addition
to elements that can apply to other
characters as well.
FOR EVERY
CHARACTER
Certain game elements transcend
the particulars of a character's race
or cla s s . The following elements
work equally well for any character
in the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game,
regardles s of the character's focus,
type, or background.
CLERICS
As the most obvious choices for the
hierophant path, clerics and other
divine spellcasters will find a slew
of new options in this volume, from
path abilities tied to each of the most
prominent deities of Golarion (pages
6-n) to hierophant- specific path
abilities that alter channeled energy
or provide additional options to
divine casters (pages 26-27).
MAGIC hEMS
New magic items that interact with
mythic characters can be found on
pages 18-19, including tokens offavor
from the First World's Eldest as well
as the Whispering Tyrant himself.
Also introduced in this book is the
transcendent artifact (page 19), a new
type of intelligent magic item that
bestows mythic power to non-mythic
characters it deems worthy.
FI GHTERS
The champion and guardian paths
offer a host of powerful abilities to
martial heroes. Fighters seeking to
be unstoppable forces should look to
the juggernaut champion path ability
(page 2 2), and those who want to
laugh off danger can no doubt find
use for the uncanny adaptability
guardian path ability (page 25).
P owER OF THE G oos
Adventurers of every race and creed
can become imbued by holy or
unholy might. Some are godlings
(pages 6-n)-descendants of deities
or other divine forces-whose
mythic power unlocks the divine
nature of their bloodlines. Other
heroes might bind themselves to
the service of deities in exchange for
mythic power and the right to call
themselves mortal heralds of divine
beings (pages 16-17).
PATH AB1L1TY lNOEX
The following path abilities appear
throughout this book. Universal path
abilities marked with an asterisk
(
*
)
are godling path abilities.

RoGUES
Canny rogues of all different
mythic paths will find utility in
the varied abilities detailed in
this volume. The disabling strike
champion path ability (page 22), mob
ruler marshal path ability (page 29),
and ethereal trapsmith trickster path
ability (page 3 1) can each empower a
different rogue concept.
MYTHIC DEED T RACKER
No matter what a hero's motives
are, he should always be aware of
the mark he has left on the world
around him. The mythic deed tracker
on the inside back cover of this
book makes it easy to keep track of
notable accomplishments, honorable
accolades, and heroic achievements.
WI ZA RDS
Masters of arcane magic will find
great treasures in the new archmage
path abilities. Whether they seek
more versatile familiars (page 20)
or hope to walk among the heavens
(page 2 1), this volume is sure to
whet the appetites of all manner of
arcane spellcasters .
