Finding a legendary tomb requires tracking an equally legendary cave worm said to dwell there. As the adventurers set out from Highhelm, they must brave the Darklands’ dangers, navigate a treacherous fey city, and recover the relic that retraces the cave worm’s path. Yet in doing so, they learn of nefarious rivals who also seek the tomb―rivals the adventurers might stop by infiltrating an unforgiving underground metropolis.
“Cult of the Cave Worm” is a Pathfinder adventure for four 5th-level characters, continuing the Sky King’s Tomb Adventure Path, a three-part monthly campaign in which a group of adventurers travel deep underground to discover a legendary dwarven king’s tomb, seek subterranean treasures, and heal millennia-old injustices―all while stopping an ambitious villain from weaponizing those same discoveries. This adventure also includes a study of cave worm ecology, a gazetteer of the duergar city Hagegraf, potent relics, and several monsters to threaten underground explorers.
Each monthly full-color softcover Pathfinder Adventure Path volume contains an in-depth adventure scenario, stats for several new monsters, and support articles meant to give Game Masters additional material to expand their campaign. Pathfinder Adventure Path volumes use the Open Game License and work with both the Pathfinder RPG and the world’s oldest fantasy RPG.
From the Publisher
Millennia ago, the dwarven creator god Torag shook the earth and called the dwarves to the surface in the Quest for Sky. Taargick rose from the hardships of this journey, becoming the Sky King of Highhelm. For centuries he ruled, creating monuments to Torag and the accomplishments of his people… And then he vanished without a trace. Invited guests of the clans of Highhelm find themselves embroiled in a story of seekers, survivors, and heroes discovering the Sky King’s Tomb.
With a continuous history stretching back more than 9,000 years, the Five Kings Mountains and its dwarven culture are truly ancient—and they know it. Statues of legendary heroes, friezes of grand victories, and even millennia-old graffiti remind residents of their storied past, inspiring them to emulate and even surpass their ancestors. Yet that same past can bring stagnation. Cleaving to tradition, dwarven society is often slow to change and slower to question its own shortcomings until some new discovery threatens the status quo.
And the player characters are just about to make such a discovery!
The Sky King’s Tomb Adventure Path explores dwarven history and the Darklands, taking characters from levels 1 to 10 as they uncover forgotten lore, challenge old legends, and discover a mythical site that could change Five Kings Mountains culture forever.
Despite the dwarven focus, this campaign isn’t exclusive to dwarves; Characters of almost any ancestry can excel and become engaged in the story. Whether they already live in the metropolis of Highhelm or are honored guests of the dwarven Clan Tolorr, the PCs begin the adventure in Highhelm and later explore a wide range of subterranean sites.
More details about Highhelm can be found in the Pathfinder Lost Omens: Highhelm setting book which details everyday life in the city, dwarven culture, and the various clans that influence the Sky Citadel. It also provides a full gazetteer of the city’s layers and surroundings.
