I'm assuming this book will focus on the lost cultures/empires/nations of the Inner Sea region, but would it be going too far if there was some more info about the lost empire of Ninshabur? Personally, I'd be happy if there was just some stuff about the olden days on the other continents period.

So while i've been preparing multiple possible character builds for the campaign i'm planning for after I get home from Afghanistan later this year, I've been reading a lot more in depth on the rules and spending time analyzing them and reading up on the Pathfinder Campaign Setting.

One thing struck me in particular: it appears that Pathfinder is built for classic fantasy gameplay, and is rather customizable.

Many of the character builds I've made so far are partly based on my favorite characters from movies, books, and video games. I love the characters and the ideas I've come up with, but I'm worried about how well they'll mesh with the Pathfinder Campaign Setting (which I've come to love as well). I mean, they work with the rules most of the time, but should I be worried about that as well?

Also, if anyone has experience with things like this, do tell of them.

All things considered that have been stated above, I must agree that the Test of the Starstone stands on the same playability level as the deities. As soon as it's made, the importance of deities goes out the window. After all, with all of the current PFRPG rulebooks out there, there's already plenty of ways to reach immortality. Plus, I would assume that most 20th level characters are receiving loads of hero worship from the common citizens of Golarion (who still constitute the majority of the worshipers of the REAL gods).

However, if Paizo would hold some sort of tournament-style play at a major convention (Gen-Con perhaps), the final challenge could indeed be the Test of The Starstone. But this would need to be a one-time only thing. So, if the characters fail, big whoop. So has everybody else. If they win: TA-DA! Canon demi-gods. And a great story to put in the timeline of the next edition of the game.
