Paizo Announces Lost Omens Cheliax Regional Book for October 2026

Paizo revealed Pathfinder: Lost Omens — Cheliax, Infernal Inheritance, a post-Hellfire Crisis regional gazetteer scheduled to hit retail on October 7, 2026, with an 18-author writing team and a faux-leather special edition already drawing attention from the community.

The book picks up where the Hell's Destiny adventure path leaves off. "As the Hellfire Crisis comes to an end, the powers that be must reckon with a changed world," reads Paizo's product description. "Within the Infernal Inheritance dwell scheming nobles, remnants of ancient empires, and Hellish dangers." Six nations anchor the gazetteer: Cheliax, described as a devil-bound nation transformed by war; Corentyn, a naval power establishing its militaristic and economic might; Isger, a recently liberated nation discovering its forgotten past; Nidal, a nation wreathed in shadow and bound to a wicked god; Ravounel, a former Chelaxian hold seeking its own place in the world; and Scorchhome, a nation for goblins and other outcasts. Notably, forum discussion on Paizo's own boards flagged that Corentyn is expected to carve off a chunk of western Cheliax and become its own independent nation by the end of Hell's Destiny, making its inclusion here a direct continuation of that metaplot thread.

Each regional entry covers history, culture, and current events, and spotlights a major city suitable for adventure use. The book also includes new character options and a fold-out poster map.

The standard edition is priced at $64.99. A limited edition deluxe hardcover is also planned, bound in faux leather with metallic deboss cover elements and a bound-in ribbon bookmark.

The writing credits run 18 names deep: John Joseph Adams, Dan Cascone, Hiromi Cota, Felix Dritz, Matthew Fu, Laura Lynn Horst, Jason Keeley, Stephanie Lundeen, Derry Luttrell, Letterio Mammoliti, Liane Merciel, Jaime Reyes Mondragon, Andrew Mullen, AJ Neuro, Samantha Phelan, Collette Quach, Erin Roberts, and Gina Susanna. Adams, who also works as an editor and anthologist, noted on his portfolio page that he contributed new character options but said he cannot elaborate further at this time.

The cover art depicts a fiery battle in a burning village, centered on a towering infernal creature with a spider-like body and armored humanoid torso wielding a polearm, its form glowing with hellish orange light, while two adventurers push back in the foreground.
