Explore the Lost Sanctum of Aroden in Pathfinder’s New The Dead God’s Hand Adventure

The Dead God’s Hand is a brand new campaign from Paizo for Pathfinder 2nd Edition. Written by Erik Mona, and based on his multi-year Paizo office campaign, this 128-page hardcover is designed for 1st level characters, taking then through to 6th level.

Ideal for new players and Game Masters, The Dead God’s Hand is an excellent starting point for adventures set in Absalom, the City at the Center of the World. Filled with dungeron exploration, ancient mysteries, and phantasmagoric tests that see the characters reliving events from the life of Aroden, the dead god of humanity whose murder triggered the beginning of the current age.

Delve into ancient secrets below the City at the Center of the World in this deluxe campaign-arc adventure for Pathfinder Second Edition! Captured and enslaved by a duergar clan somewhere in the maze of tunnels below the city of Absalom, the heroes stage a bloody revolt and battle their way into the long-lost Sanctum of Aroden, a legendary religious refuge sealed away from the world with the god’s death a century ago. But some secrets are best left buried forever, and investigation into the mysterious Dead God’s Hand said to be hidden at the heart of the complex - and the shrouded figure whose desire for it trigged the heroes’ captivity in the first place - uncovers machinations that could threaten all of Absalom with the birth of a terrible new divinity!

The Dead God’s Hand is available as a special limited edition deluxe hardcover bound in faux leather with metallic deboss over elements and a bound-in ribbon bookmark as well as the standard hardcover.

Also available for the campaign is the Pathfidner Flip-Mat: The Dead God’s Hand Multi-Pack which includes two flip-mats, each measuring 24” x 30” unfolded (8” x 10” folded) and suitable for dry erase, wet erase, oven permanent marker pens. The Flip-Mat set features three locations from the adventure. One of the maps depicts the Orthux complex, whilst the other shows the Sanctum of Aroden on one side and the Throne of Azlant on the other.

The campaign and maps are both due for release on 2nd September 2026.
