PF Adv Path Tide of Honor
The heroes arrive in Minkai only to discover the empire on its knees! The Jade Regent has twisted the ruling government to cater to his despotic whims.

A Pathfinder RPG adventure for 12th-level characters, Tide of Honor continues the Jade Regent Adventure Path.

PF Mod Ruby Pheonix Tournament
Once every ten years, the cosmopolitan city of Goka on the eastern coastline of Tian Xia hosts the Ruby Phoenix Tournament on an island in the city’s harbor. Infamous for its strange spectacles and exciting mix of fighting styles, the contest draws combatants from all over the world. Its winner gets his choice of a single item from the legendary treasury of an ancient spellcaster. But this year, not all who have come to compete do so out of respect for the traditions of battle or even out of greed for the reward. They seek, instead, nothing so much as red revenge! The Ruby Phoenix Tournament is a tournament-style Pathfinder Module designed for 11th-level characters.
