-One of- Golarion's moons destroyed in Earthfall?

[Java Man]

Just noticed in the Aboleth history section on the patherfinderwiki the statement that one of Golarion's moons was destroyed when it was used to block the Starstone. Can't seem to find this referenced anywhere else, so is it an error or did Golarion have two moons prior to that?

I believe it's an error in the wiki. It's the Starstone that was shattered, not the moon. Compare with the wiki entry for Acavna.

I think you might be reading it backwards. Acavna, the Azlanti Goddess of the moon and battle, pulled the moon from orbit to block the starstone. The startstone hit the moon. The starstone shattered, with the biggest piece falling into the ocean to later be raised by Aroden. The moon then returned to orbit. I'm pretty sure the moonscar module takes place where the startsone hit the moon. (that could be mis-remembering though)

edit: the aboleth article is written differently than the earthfall article, and the starstone article... so I can see if you were reading just the aboleth article it points to that

Exactly, I was wondering if the Aboleth article contained information not mentioned elsewhere, or is in error/ contains early lore that has been retconned.

looks like they all use mythic realms as thier source.... I'll take a look later tonight if I remember, and edit them to be accurate

I can see from the text how it could be interpreted either way

mythic realms p16 wrote:

she dragged the moon out of its orbit, into

the projectile’s deadly path. The dark star collided with her
lunar shield and shattered. But it did not slow. The resulting
rain of otherworldly blades riddled Acavna’s manifestation,
exacting wounds lethal even to a deity.

But when you follow up with the next paragraph:

mythic realms p16 wrote:

Amaznen, Azlanti god of magic, distraught at his beloved’s

death, appeared before the rain of mountainous daggers still
hurtling toward Golarion. Concentrating his essence, he
sought out the ageless aboleth magic and spoke a word. With
it, he faded from being, taking the aboleth magic with him.
A storm from space rained down upon Golarion that day,
but what fell were stones only, without direction or drive.

its obvious that the daggers has the aboloth magic when they pierced the goddess, and thus were part of the starstone, not the moon. I have edited the Aboloth article to reflect this.

Could ask for clarification over in the ask James Jacobs thread, that's the sort of stuff he's a great source for.

Or here, since I often peek into threads that have interesting topics. :P

Would the Creative Dinosaur care to offer any clarification?

[James Jacobs]

Sure. Golarion's only ever had one moon, and it wasn't destroyed in Earthfall, although it DID take a hit.
