Pavis: Gateway to Danger

New Pavis is a frontier city built by the heirs of Sartar as a refuge from the wars in Dragon Pass. Recently conquered by the Lunar Empire, Pavis is a place of scum and villainy, populated by outlaws, thieves, mad men, and rebels. Nearby is the Big Rubble, once a mighty city built by giants, now ruins inhabited by trolls, elves, dwarves, and Chaos monsters. Beyond are the wastelands of Prax, ruled by warring tribes of nomadic Praxian Beast Riders. Pavis is your gateway to adventure!

Pavis: Gateway to Adventure is the definitive guide to the classic Glorantha setting of New Pavis. Includes write-ups of all major locations, maps, cultures, cult write-ups, and four full-length scenarios. This book is perfect for starting a Pavis campaign, or as a place for your Sartarites to hide out from the Lunars and re-group!
