The Monarch travels to the far west, where they find a portal to Nyrissa's home in the First World. Nyrissa sends endless fey armies to attack the Monarch's kingdom. Pitax (which Nyrissa secretly sabotaged) was kingdom number 99. The Lantern King removed a portion of Nyrissa's soul and commanded her to destroy 100 kingdoms as an apology. This failed and angered the Lantern King, who is one of the Eldest.

Nyrissa once attempted to become an Eldest, the immortal rulers of the fey realm called 'the First World'. The Monarch discovers that all of the threats were orchestrated by a nymph named Nyrissa. The Monarch defeats Irovetti and annexes Pitax, becoming the only ruler in the Stolen Lands. The newly-crowned Monarch deals with more issues, primarily the meddling of neighboring king Irovetti of Pitax. After resolving this issue, the Baron/ess rises to become an independent king/queen (hereafter referred to as the Monarch). The Baron/ess may choose to help Aldori, side with the ruling Brevic government, negotiate a peaceful solution, or stay uninvolved. They recruit various companions to their party, and expand their barony's territory and influence.Īldori starts an independence war for her region of Brevoy. The Baron/ess must deal with multiple threats to the kingdom including unusual trolls, an epidemic of people turning into beasts, and an ancient lich. After the player-character kills a local bandit leader, they are made a baron/baroness in the Stolen Lands by Jamandi Aldori, a noble in the nearby kingdom of Brevoy. Attempts to rule over it have repeatedly failed. The Stolen Lands are a harsh, anarchic stretch of territory.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker is based on the six modules that make up the Pathfinder Adventure Path campaign published in 2010. These include both established Pathfinder characters and newly invented characters. While the player begins with only one character of their creation, the game is party-based as companions join them along the way. Ĭharacter customization is a key feature, along with an alignment system where a character's alignment can change due to player choice. One of the game's distinguishing features is its emphasis on realm-building, with the player's decisions as a local lord affecting the rest of the gameplay as they are embroiled in a world of political intrigue and adventure. It features a real-time-with-pause or turn-based combat system and an isometric perspective. The gameplay is modeled on the Pathfinder role-playing game and inspired by classic computer RPGs such as Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights. Announced through a Kickstarter campaign in 2017, the game was released for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux on 25 September 2018. Pathfinder: Kingmaker is an isometric role-playing game developed by a Russian (now Russian- Cypriot) studio Owlcat Games and published by Deep Silver, based on Paizo Publishing's Pathfinder franchise. Linux, macOS, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
