Lords of Chaos

Gaze into the Abyss!
Spawned from the darkest depths of the Abyss, the howling hordes of demonkind rise up to destroy and devour all of existence, their slavering, fiendish forms built to rend, enslave, and beguile. Whether in their horrid domains of madness in the Outer Rifts, or called forth into the material world by insane spellcasters, demons represent the fundamental immorality of the universe, evolving from sinful souls into entities both wretched and godlike, united under their vile taskmasters toward a single goal: to destroy all that mortal life holds dear.

- Complete descriptions of more than 40 demon lords and their terrifying realms, including the demon queen Lamashtu, Mother of Monsters.
- New rules and special abilities for worshipers of individual demon lords.
- Rules for the demoniac prestige class.
- A detailed history of the Abyss and the disturbing origins of demons as a race.
- New demonic spells and magic items, plus rules for demonic implants and becoming a demon.
- Overviews of the different types of demons, plus tricks to aid in their summoning.
- Descriptions of the Abyss' other residents, such as writhing soul larvae and the sinister, primordial qlippoth.
- Rules for creating new nascent demon lords.
- Statistics for four new demons ready to bring the horrors of the cosmos to players’ doorsteps.

Pathfinder Campaign Setting
Horsemen of the Apocalypse
2011
The End is Near!
Since the first spark of mortal life took form, the daemons have sought to extinguish it. Evil in its purest form, these terrors seek nothing less than the end of all existence. Led by the Four Horsemen—War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death—the armies of Abaddon work to corrupt, consume, and destroy everything around them. Perfect nihilists, the daemons seek only to be the last entities looking down on the dying cinders of the cosmos before they themselves are consumed, and only darkness remains.
Within this book, you’ll find:
- Complete descriptions of the Four Horsemen and their armies of soul-devouring daemon servitors.
- An overview of the wasteland realm of Abaddon, the private domains of its masters, and several other forsaken locations.
- Rules for the daemon-worshiping souldrinker prestige class.
- An introduction to the soul economy, and how captured souls are traded and used by fiends and mortals alike.
- Secret histories of previous Horsemen.
- New daemonic spells and magic items.
- Overviews of the different castes of daemons, plus tips and tricks to aid in their summoning.
- Statistics for eight new daemons ready to bring the horrors of the cosmos to players’ doorsteps.
