[QUOTE="kenada, post: 8152359, member: 70468"] Rise of the Runelords takes place in 4707. The timeline advances in step with earth years (but not to be confused with in-setting earth, [URL='https://paizo.com/products/btpy8yv5/discuss?Pathfinder-Adventure-Path-71-Rasputin-Must-Die']which is a thing[/URL]), so it takes place 12 years prior to the release of PF2 and “advancement” of the timeline (more or less just assuming the outcomes of certain APs). As far as reading material goes, it couldn’t hurt to familiarize yourself with Varisia. There are a few books that have information on the area ([I]Varisia, Birthplace of Legends[/I]; [I]Magnimar, City of Monuments, The Inner Sea World Guide[/I]), but most of the info is in the AP itself. It’s probably enough to read the PathfinderWiki [URL='https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Varisia']entry[/URL] on Varisia then go from there. [SPOILER="Since not sure if GMing or playing"]The AP takes place in [URL='https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Sandpoint']Sandpoint[/URL], [URL='https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Magnimar']Magnimar[/URL], [URL='https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Turtleback_Ferry']Turtleback Ferry[/URL], the [URL='https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Storval_Plateau']Storval Plateau[/URL], and [URL='https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Xin-Shalast']Xin-Shalast[/URL].
