Abomination Vaults

Enter the megadungeon! Evil stirs in the depths of the Abomination Vaults, a sprawling dungeon where the evil sorcerer Belcorra Haruvex attempted to raise an army of monsters hundreds of years ago. Brave heroes must venture into a dungeon full of beasts and traps to prevent a spiteful villain from rising again.

Overview

Abomination Vaults is the twenty-eighth Pathfinder Adventure Path and the first three-volume Pathfinder Adventure Path published by Paizo Inc., and ran from January 2021 to March 2021. It is loosely tied to the Second Edition Pathfinder Beginner Box, which is also set in Otari, and provides an easier to manage first campaign for players and gamemasters. It is also focused on a large dungeon complex, something Paizo had wanted to do for some time, but Paizo considered that six volumes would be too much to keep interest in a single site.
