Pathfinder 2E’s Tian Xia World Guide is finally out. Hardcover or digital, you can find your way to Tian Xia!

Pathfinder 2E has opened the doors to Tian Xia with its latest release, Pathfinder Lost Omens: Tian Xia World Guide. This new book explores beyond just the rumors and bits of lore that have made their way to the Inner Sea. The new book gives summaries of the whole region, with 20 distinct nations and kingdoms, with realms below and above the continent. There’s just a ton of stuff to dive into.

From its ancient days of elemental hegemonies and yaoguai wars to the modern era marked by the return of the Ruby Phoenix, the Sorcerer Hao Jin. Tian Xia is full of legends and lore. And the new world guide is just the beginning.

Pathfinder Goes to Tian Xia

In Pathfinder Lost Omens: Tian Xia World Guide, players and GMs will find everything they need to explore the Tian Xia region of Golarion. From new heritages and backgrounds to new class archetypes, there’s plenty for players to play with. But GMs will also find a veritable feast in the book. The new cultures and locations and new monsters (including Sun Bears!) are just the tip of the iceberg.

Dragons once served as the stewards of this land, commanded by Heavenly decree. Can you live up to their lofty expectations, or will you flounder and fail like countless kingdoms before you? Prophecy is dead and history hangs on a feather; even the slightest breath might change the course of peoples and nations. Strike out and seize your destiny in an uncertain future!

This massive 304-page gazetteer features a look at the history, cultures, and peoples of Tian Xia, with summaries of over 20 distinct nations and kingdoms on, above, and under the continent. It’s accompanied by a giant poster map displaying this region of the Pathfinder setting in beautiful detail.

In a time when prophecy is dead, the actions of heroes in Tian Xia, and the many peoples thereof, can change the fate of Golarion.

Paizo has really cast a wide net with this one. The publisher has put together an amazing team to tackle this land and its people with aplomb:
