War has come to Minkai! As resistance rises against the Jade Regent''s tyranny, the heroes must escort their friend Ameiko to one final site - the Imperial Shrine on a hidden island in the capital''s harbor. Here, they must seek the blessing of Minkai''s dead emperors if they hope to have a chance to liberate the nation, but even here the Five Storms and the Jade Regent have their influence, and hungry demons and ravenous ghosts must be defeated before the ancestor spirits of the empire will give their blessings! The Empty Throne is a Pathfinder Roleplaying Game adventure for 14th-level characters. This volume concludes the Jade Regent Adventure Path, a sweeping quest that takes the heroes from familiar territory in Varisia all the way across the ice fields of the Crown of the World to distant Tian Xia, the land of the Dragon Empires.
