Libris
Adventures of the Rogue Talons
Welcome to the Stolen Lands
The campaign unfolds in the rich tapestry of Golarion, within a wild and untamed expanse known as the Stolen Lands. This nearly uncharted territory lies in the northeastern reaches of the River Kingdoms, skirting the edges of the nation of Brevoy. It is a realm steeped in mystery, where the wilderness has reclaimed dominion and only the bravest dare to venture.
For countless decades, the Stolen Lands have been a wilderness, forsaken to the whims of nature and the prowling of deadly beasts. In its swamps, forests, and mountains, eerie things linger, and the remnants of an ancient, almost forgotten history lie buried beneath ruins and tangled weeds. This is a land without lords, having resisted innumerable attempts at conquest, yet it remains ripe with potential for those bold enough to stake their claim.
Scholars speculate that the region's stubborn resistance to settlement may be due to the thin veil separating the Material Plane from the First World, an enigmatic plane of existence that seems to bleed into the Stolen Lands, weaving its wild influence into the fabric of the wilderness.
The name "Stolen Lands" is a reflection of Brevoy's assertion that this territory rightfully belongs to them. The fertile plains of Rostland in Brevoy extend into these lands, creating a patchwork of contested claims and fractured loyalties. The boundary between the River Kingdoms and Brevoy is a flashpoint, with the heirs of Choral the Conqueror—Brevoy's legendary unifier—and ancient Rostlandic nobility both laying claim to lands as far south as Hooktongue Slough and the Kamelands. Brash families even assert their reach into the notorious bandit city of Pitax, far to the southeast of the wilderness.
Yet, in truth, the Stolen Lands belong to no one and are stolen from no one. Countless would-be rulers have attempted to tame these lands, only to leave behind abandoned ruins that stand as silent testaments to the wild's fierce resistance. These savage lands remain untamed, a refuge for monsters, criminals, and hidden dangers. They harbor secrets and threats that have menaced neighboring realms for as long as history remembers.
