Walking on Corpses

1. Explore the mines around the NexusWhatever the secret of the origin of the Nahyndrian crystals, they were shipped to Golarion via the Nexus — a portal node located in the Midnight Isles. There are sure to be some traces left that would help answer several crucial questions: what was done to the crystals in that place, who was in charge of the whole operation, and, finally, what happened in this now desolate place?
2. Go through the portalThe chase continues. The crystal miners headed by the nephilim Hepzamirah left through one of the portals. It can be activated with a special key.
3. Try to secure an audience with the city's rulersLocating a handful of demon miners in the giant anthill of Alushinyrra will be difficult, if not impossible. What's more, their leader is Hepzamirah, Baphomet's flesh and blood, and a powerful nephilim. However, the rulers of the city, the dark lady Nocticula in particular, must be aware of what is afoot in their territory, and perhaps they will agree to help deal with Hepzamirah. But how to draw their attention?
4. Talk to NocticulaLocating a handful of demon miners in the giant anthill of Alushinyrra will be difficult, if not impossible. What's more, their leader is Hepzamirah, Baphomet's flesh and blood, and a powerful nephilim. However, Nocticula must surely know where to find her, and perhaps the Commander can even persuade the Lady in Shadow to assist in Hepzamirah's destruction.
5. The Nahyndrian crystals were dug up in the local mines. Now the mining operation has stopped and the miners disappeared. The Hand of the Inheritor must be told about this
6. Attend the audience in Nocticula's palaceThe Lady in Shadow has turned her attention to the mortal who has managed to make all of Alushinyrra bow down before {mf|him|her}. There will soon be a meeting, a meeting for which great sacrifices have been made and many heroic deeds accomplished. What will it lead to? Bloodshed? New alliances? Empty promises? None can tell, for the future is cloaked in deepest shadow.
7. The crystals were mined by Baphomet's minions. For reasons unknown, a conflict broke out between them and Nocticula's servants. This is a valuable piece of information and the Hand of the Inheritor will want to hear it
8. Those who had been mining the crystals made their getaway through a portal that can be opened with a special key. Perhaps there are other such keys hidden in the nearby mines
9. The Suture, that sly fiend, has stolen the portal key and fled. But there must be another key somewhere nearby
10. The name of the demoness who was in charge of the mining operation is Hepzamirah. Perhaps Iomedae's herald knows something about her
11. Attend the audience in Nocticula's palaceNocticula has received the Commander's message via Shamira, and now she has summoned the brave Golarian to her palace. There will soon be a meeting, a meeting for which great sacrifices have been made and many heroic deeds accomplished. What will it lead to? Bloodshed? New alliances? Empty promises? No one knows the answer, for the future is obscured by the gloom of the Lady in Shadow.
12. Go to ColyphyrHepzamirah's whereabouts have been ascertained — she is on the remote island of Colyphyr. That is where Baphomet's daughter is mining Nahyndrian crystals and raising a new army to invade Golarion. To cover such an impressive distance, the Commander must find an airship capable of such an expedition... And an even more capable crew.
13. The key has been found! The Hand of the Inheritor may have some ideas about how to use it
14. A message can be sent to Nocticula through Shamira
15. It is necessary to find a ship that will transport the Commander to Colyphyr
