Volume 5 - 1st printing. "Into the Nightmare Rift!" By Richard Pett. With five shards of the Shattered Star secured, visions point toward one of Varisia's most remote corners as the site protecting the sixth fragment of the powerful artifact. Yet the heroes are not the first to search for this shard - upon arriving at the ancient ruin known as Guiltspur, they find a small army of giants (said to be ruled by a blue dragon) already excavating the site. And as the heroes soon learn, there are other forces searching for the final shards from the Darklands below, and even from beyond reality itself, for Guiltspur lies dangerously close to the nightmare realm of Leng! Into the Nightmare Rift is a Pathfinder RPG adventure for 13th-level characters.

The culmination of this celebration is to be the reassembly of the seven shards into the legendary Sihedron itself, rebuilt for the first time in over ten thousand years. But a lot can change in that amount of time, and as the dead heart of Thassilon begins to beat again, all of Magnimar is put in terrible danger. With the power of the Sihedron on their side, the heroes take a stance against this risen evil - but will the aid of an ancient artifact be enough to save them all?
