Shoanti Barbarians: Skoan-Quah Flavor Material?


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


One of my PCs is playing a Skoan-Quah barbarian. At this point I believe very little information has been provided in the way of flavor, other than the name (Skull Clan) and the guesses/extrapolations we can make from that name and from their totemic feat providing extra damage to undead. Can someone direct me to any flavor description that might already exist out there (I searched the boards and didn't find any, but admittedly I've missed stuff in searches before)? Maybe James or Wesley or someone can chime in with just a bit of information? Are they tied to undead in the sense that they view them favorably, maybe have shaman that create them and use them, and get extra damage because of their familiarity with them? Or do they perhaps fight an unending battle against undead that have overrun their region? Maybe they wear ashen-and-white skull designs on their faces when prepping for battle? Anything?

Pathfinder 3 will reveal more information about the Shoanti, and we'll probably do a HUGE thing about them during Curse of the Crimson Throne sometime. We might even do a blog post about them that reveals a little more information once we start doing preview stuff for Pathfinder 3.

For now, though, think of the Skoan-Quah as Anti-Undead. Their shamans certainly don't encourage them, and their anti undead stance is 100% one of "KILL ALL UNDEAD!" They aren't allies to the undead At All.

Thanks James, that's definitely good enough to get me started in the right direction!

James, if you had to point to an area on the map of Varisia that could be at the heart of Shoanti territory, where would that be?
