Taldor responded to the Godsrain, the death of the war god Gorum, with an attempt to draw in the finest minds in magical study. They've invited scholars from across Golarion to attend a symposium on the Godsrain and the warshards, pieces of Gorum fallen from the sky, and the Pathfinder Society has decided to present their findings from some unique warshards they recovered in hopes of gaining insight from others across the world. The Aspis Consortium, though, finds this an excellent opportunity to gain valuables in the theft of research materials, and to harm the Pathfinders by framing them for the theft. The Pathfinders must deal with the Aspis and clear their names lest they leave the symposium not with new knowledge but with a reputation dragged through the mud.
