Looking for Resources on the History of the Pathfinder Society in Golarion...

[RedDogMT]

Our homebrew game is set in Golarion and now I would like to include the Pathfinder Society as an element of the story. The PCs will not be in the Pathfinder Society. Instead, PFS will be an organization the PCs come upon from time to time.

I have been looking for information on the history of the Pathfinder Society, how it started, how it evolved, key figures, etc. While there is a good amount of information on how the Pathfinder Society is in AR 4714, I have not had much luck finding details on it's history. The only thing I have found is that the Pathfinder Society is about 400 years old.

If anyone can point out any resources, I would appreciate it, although my main interest is about the founding of the PFS as well as the evolution of the PFS over the past 70 years.

It should be noted that I did play (and GM a bit) in the Pathfinder Society for about 2 years before starting my homebrew game, so I am familiar enough with PFS in general.

Anyone? anything? :)

Hey buddy, I'll help you out as best as I can.

The pathfinder society was founded in Absalom, 4307AR.

It is lead by ten mysterious hooded figures and the main purpose of it is to explore new lands and record them in journals.

Hope that this helps, I got it from the pathfinder wiki. So if you need more information, I would recommend that you go to that website.

Spoiler from Confirmation:

Spoiler:

It apparantly was founded in a run down tavern called the Pig's Paunch which still stands today.

There isn't much else. The Pathfinder Society Primer has some highlights on what's been published in the Pathfinder Chronicles.

At some point, the Society stole an artifact from the Church of Iomedae, the crown of Iomedae, a remnant of her melted armor from the time of her ascension. They're still a bit cross about it.

There's also a nasty duplicate of the society called the Onyx Society which is based in the version of Absalom located in the Shadow Plane.

Thanks guys. That does help a bit...it also means that I can go ahead and flesh out my own history.

There is a timeline in Seekers of Secrets on page 26.
