Undead Unleashed

“What the Inheritor’s Fifth Act teaches us is that even the mightiest undead

can be defeated when one exhibits courage, dedication, and valor. Yet even

divine Iomedae was unable to wholly destroy Erum-Hel, which shows that one

must be ever vigilant, for the forces of undeath are legion and unrelenting in

their evil. The Battle of Three Sorrows, for example, is so named for the toll

it took upon the morale of the Shining Crusade—in large part because of the

depths of depravity to which the forces of the Whispering Tyrant were willing

to descend.”

—Acolyte Mintas Rhos, dissertation on

The Acts of Iomedae

Undead Unleashed

hroughout history, across all cultures, tales have

been told of vile creatures that defied death and

remained among the living beyond their natural

lifespans. It is no wonder that undead such as vampires,

liches, ghosts, ghouls, and mummies have played such

a vital role in the history of fantasy literature—and by

extension, fantasy roleplaying games.

From mindless zombies and skeletons to ingenious

and sinister vampires and liches, the undead can be found

in all corners of the Inner Sea region and beyond. Their

depredations are most strongly associated with nations

such as haunted Ustalav, mummy-cursed Osirion, and

undead-ruled Geb, but even bastions of goodness like

Andoran, Mendev, and Lastwall hold countless undead

threats for adventurers of all levels. This book presents 15

unique undead creatures found in the Inner Sea region,

detailing their backgrounds and motivations, their

Pathfinder RPG statistics, and their bases of operations.

Haunts

Many of the undead lairs in this book contain haunts,

residual necromantic effects left over from extreme

suffering or horrific deaths at specific locations. Haunts

are similar to traps in that their specific effects must be

triggered, often by a creature entering a specific location.

Game Masters are encouraged to accentuate the eerie nature

of haunts prior to their manifestation, allowing characters

to attempt Perception checks to notice something strange

and giving them a chance to channel positive energy to

avoid haunts’ effects. The full rules for haunts can be found

on page 242 of the

Pathfinder RPG GameMastery Guide.

Featured Undead

Countless undead creatures inhabit the Pathfinder

campaign setting, and the following unique examples

have been selected for inclusion in this book.

Arantaros (Ravener, CR 20):

The blue dragon

Arantaros hoped for eternal life through alchemy, but

failing to uncover the secrets of the

sun orchid elixir

and

being too proud to steal them, he made a bargain with

a demon lord to extend his life as a ravener. (Written by

Todd Stewart.)

Arnlaugr the Fearless (Draugr, CR 14):

A former Ulfen

monster hunter, Arnlaugr the Fearless fell into a sinister

rusalka’s trap while hunting a legendary water orm in

the Ironbound Archipelago. (Written by Jerome Virnich.)

Erum-Hel (Mohrg, CR 23):

Known as the Lord of Mohrgs,

Erum-Hel was defeated by the then-mortal Iomedae

during the Shining Crusade against the Whispering

Tyrant. Erum-Hel is now singularly focused on exacting

revenge upon the Inheritor. (Written by Todd Stewart.)

Imaloka Ghalmont-Neverhome (Banshee, CR 22):

When the Worldwound engulfed Sarkoris, the pleasure

palace known as the House of Reflections sank to the

bottom of the lake on which it once floated, and all souls

within perished. Among them was the Forlorn elven

hostess Imaloka Ghalmont-Neverhome, who now rules the

sunken manor as a banshee. (Written by Mark Moreland.)

Jolanera (Nightwing, CR 17):

Deep beneath the Isle of

Terror lurks the nightwing Jolanera, who hopes to expand

the influence of the Well of Sorrows and engulf the world

in darkness. (Written by David N. Ross.)

Meyi Pahano (Lich, CR 13):

From her mountaintop

astrological observatory in the Sodden Lands, the lich

Meyi Pahano works to build a gateway to the undead

planet of Eox. (Written by Adam Daigle.)

Mirik the Drowned (Ghast, CR 3):

When the Puddles

district sank beneath sea level and flooded, among the

many who died was the serial killer Mirik, who returned

to unlife as an aquatic ghast. (Written by Jerome Virnich.)

Mother Comfort and Poor Eledia (Allip and Attic

Whisperer, CR 3 and CR 4):

When the mistress of an Isgeri

orphanage brought about the death of one of her charges,

the victim returned as an attic whisperer and eventually

drove her killer to commit suicide. Now both haunt the

abandoned building. (Written by Jerome Virnich.)

Ordellia Whilwren (Ghost, CR 10):

The murdered

cofounder of Magnimar, Ordellia now haunts the city

district that bears her name, attempting to help those good

inhabitants who need her aid. (Written by Adam Daigle.)

Prince Kasiya (Vampire, CR 12):

Osirion’s Prince Kasiya

was a failure in life, but in undeath he seeks revenge on

his nemesis, Count Varian Jeggare. Prince Kasiya features

prominently in the Pathfinder Tales novel

King of Chaos.

(Written by Dave Gross and Mark Moreland.)

Razinia (Ghul, CR 7):

Cursed by undeath and tied to

the oasis where she betrayed her jann tribe, Razinia now

lures victims into her grasp by operating a caravanserai,

employing unwitting allies in her sinister schemes.

(Written by David N. Ross.)

Rudrakavala (Devourer, CR 15):

Worshiped as an avatar

of a Vudrani deity of destruction, the mystic devourer

Rudrakavala aims to bring the forces of the border

between the Shadow Plane and the Negative Energy Plane

to Golarion. (Written by Jerome Virnich.)

Seldeg Bhedlis (Graveknight, CR 18):

One of the elite

Knights of Ozem sent into the heart of Geb to retrieve

Arazni’s stolen body, the paladin Bhedlis soon fell and

was raised as a graveknight to serve the Harlot Queen.

(Written by David N. Ross.)

Walkena (Mummy, CR 16):

The mummified child-god

his ruthless xenophobia. (Written by Adam Daigle.)

A scion of undeath blessed with power by the Pallid

Princess herself, the Wight Mother of Isger rules the
