Walking on Corpses Information

The Midnight Isles, Lady Nocticula's realm, is a dark place even amidst the grim madness of the Abyss. Everyone who sets foot on this land is treading on the corpses of those who once opposed the Lady in Shadow - for the islands were created out of the bodies of her slain enemies. In this place, cunning, self-interest, boldness, and eternal midnight reign supreme. Those responsible for mining Nahyndrian crystals and shipping them to Golarion are lurking somewhere in this place. Their efforts are transforming the demonic legions into a wave of chaos capable of obliterating everyithing in its path. The Commander has left his homeworld and descended to the Abyss on a mission - to find and out a stop to them.

Walking on Corpses Objectives

Explore the mines around the Nexus

• Whatever the secret of the origin of the Nahyndrian crystals, they were shipped to Golarion via the Nexus - a portal node located in the Midnight Isles. There are sure to be some traces left that would help answer several crucial questions: what was done to the crystals in that place, who was in charge of the whole operation, and, finally, what happened in this now desolate place?

Go through the portal

• The chase continues. The crystal miners headed by the nephilim Hepzamirah left through one of the portals. It can be activated with a special key.

Try to secure an audience with the city's rulers

• Locating a handful of demon miners in the giant anthill of Alushinyrra will be difficult, if not impossible. What's more, their leader is Hepzamirah, Baphomet's flesh and blood, and a powerful nephilim. However, the rulers of the city, the dark lady Nocticula in particular, must be aware of waht is afoot in their territory, and perhaps they will agree to help deal with Hepzamirah. But hot to draw their attention?

Go to Colyphyr

• Hepzamirah's whereabout have been ascertained - she is on the remote island of Colyphyr. That is where Baphomet's daughter is mining Nahyndrian crystals and raising a new army to invade Golarion. To cover such an impressive distance, the Commander must find an airship capable of such an expedition... And an even more capable crew.

Talk to Nocticula

• Locating a handful of demon miners in the giant anthill of Alushinyrra will be difficult, if not impossible. What's more, their leader is Hepzamirah, Baphomet's flesh and blood, and a powerful nephilim. However, Nocticula must surely know where to find her, and perhaps the Commander can even persuade the Lady in Shadow to assist in Hepzamirah's destruction.

Attend the audience in Nocticula's palace

• The Lady in Shadow has turned her attention to the mortal who has managed to make all of Alushinyrra bow down before her. There will soon be a meeting, a meeting for which great sacrifices have been made and many heroic deeds accomplished. What will it lead to? Bloodshed? New Alliances? Empty promises? None can tell, for the future is cloaked in the deepest shadow.

Attend the audience in Nocticula's palace

Nocticula has received the Commander's message via Shamira, and now she has summoned the brave Golarian to her palace. There will soon be a meeting, a meeting for which great sacrifices have been made and many heroic deeds accomplished. What will it lead to? Bloodshed? New Alliances? Empty promises? None can tell, for the future is cloaked in the deepest shadow.
