Pathfinder Chronicles products are additional materials published monthly and designed to explore the fictional world of the Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting, known as Golarion.
With a strong post-modernist sword and sorcery influence, the world of Golarion has civilizations and nations inspired by those of Earth's real history and expands beyond the fictional tropes and literary references related to western civilization found in the works of mid 20th century authors like Tolkien or Lewis, adding elements from African mythology, Asian mythology or Middle East medieval fiction.
Until date some of the sourcebooks of this line had gone from explaining anarchist city states to moons and planets heavily influenced by Burroughs planetary fiction, touching subgenres and genres like science fiction, gothic fiction, cosmic horror or age of sail adventure.

Famous quotes containing the word chronicles:
“Our medieval historians who prefer to rely as much as possible on official documents because the chronicles are unreliable, fall thereby into an occasionally dangerous error. The documents tell us little about the difference in tone which separates us from those times; they let us forget the fervent pathos of medieval life.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
