The PCs have become mortal demigods, yet their uncontrolled mythic power threatens to consume them from the inside. If they're to survive, they must seek a sphinx's sacred wisdom, steal ambrosia from giant bees, reclaim a temple to house the followers flocking to their new faith, and even delve into the Iblydan realm of the dead to gain past hero-gods' blessing. Along the way, they learn more of about their mythic power's source, the approaching catastrophe it represents, and what they might do to stop it. Death Sails a Wine-Dark Sea is a Pathfinder Adventure for four 4th-level characters. This adventure continues the Myth-Speaker Adventure Path, a three-part monthly campaign in which the player characters assume the role of regional hero-gods and have the opportunity to restore the tradition of myth-speaking to a realm inspired by Ancient Greece. This volume also includes a gazetteer of the Iblydan Archipelago, a system for managing the cult forming around the pantheon of player characters, and a toolbox of new items, exemplar abilities, and creatures from the mythic isles of Iblydos.

Each monthly full-color softcover Pathfinder Adventure Path volume contains an in-depth adventure scenario, stats for several new monsters, and support articles meant to give Game Masters additional material to expand their campaign.
