Strange forces assail the Swardlands, breadbasket to the city of Absalom. A malevolent spirit haunts the region's leader, an unseen murderer mutilates her victims, and malicious forces occupy the once-sacred aeon towers. The heroes must stop the killings, repel subterranean invaders, and stun the people of the Swardlands with circus shows the likes of which they've never seen! The Extinction Curse Adventure Path continues with "Life's Long Shadows," an adventure for 9th- to 11th-level characters.
