Can I have hope on some content about Apsu? 
Can I have hope on some content about Apsu? The book you are interested in is volume 2 of the Mummy Mask adventure path, due out in about a month. I seem to recall one of the developers saying that Inner Sea Gods doesn't say much if anything about the ancient Osirion/Egyptian deities. 
AMEN, Brother!! We've written about the process before in the Ecology of the Paizo Product blog series. Older, but still relevant, and the process hasn't changed all that much. As for who's responsible for making our products look amazing, it's the fabulous crew listed here—Sarah Robinson, Andrew Vallas, Sonja Morris, Emily Crowell, and Ben Mouch. :)
Not gonna lie, I clicked this link thinking that the best deity in the game was going to get under-represented again. Pretty sweet to see I was wrong, right at the top!
The book you are interested in is volume 2 of the Mummy Mask adventure path, due out in about a month. I seem to recall one of the developers saying that Inner Sea Gods doesn't say much if anything about the ancient Osirion/Egyptian deities. Thank you for your answer. but I think you are misunderstanding me. Forgive me if I'm wrong. I was talking about the Waybringer, Apsu, the patron deity of all good and metallic dragons. Are we talking about the same "Apsu"? 
I would LOVE a poster for the Shelyn/Zon-Kuthon one! They are my favorite deity story! 
I would love to know what Zon-Kuthon was like before his transformation. You know, what he was a god of, his old domains, old favored weapon, etc.
I would love to know what Zon-Kuthon was like before his transformation. You know, what he was a god of, his old domains, old favored weapon, etc. It is an interesting notion. It might be interesting to totally reverse his current Domains; Darkness becomes Sun
Another option would be to consider which gods didn't exist back when Zon-Kuthon was Dou-Bral, and therefore which Domains were less represented; No Cayden Cailean, Iomedae or Norgorber (yet) means that there were openings for Chaos x2, Charm x2, Death, Evil, Glory, Good x2, Knowledge, Law, Strength, Sun, Travel, Trickery. Glory, Good, Knowledge, Strength and Sun might fit well for what was once one of the more locally prominent Taldan gods, along with sister Shelyn, covering Domains that were later filled in by the new Starstone Scions, and befitting a god whose Taldan people would have gone on to events like the Armies of Exploration, and yet not overlap too much with his sister (avoiding Charm and Protection, for instance). And... I've totally talked myself out of just reversing his current Domains, and like this second idea better. :)
I would love to know what Zon-Kuthon was like before his transformation. You know, what he was a god of, his old domains, old favored weapon, etc. I kinda like the idea of Dou-Bral originally being more of a darkly romantic god, completing a sort of yin-yang relationship with Shelyn that was much more stable and healthy than the current situation. Perhaps with a touch of the Byronic? That could have led to their falling out that resulted in him leaving and getting ZK'ed? That could also mean Shelyn had to step up and pull double duty for representing the kinds of love and beauty her brother used too. Or that if it had been her that ran into whatever got her brother, she could have wound up being a twisted goddess very different from Zon-Kuthon... Hmm....

Forgive me if I'm wrong. I was talking about the Waybringer, Apsu, the patron deity of all good and metallic dragons. Are we talking about the same "Apsu"? You're right -- I was thinking of Wadjet and Apep, the Osirion/Egyptian draconic deities. I must have mentally confused them with Apsu and Dahak, as best I can tell now.
Or that if it had been her that ran into whatever got her brother, she could have wound up being a twisted goddess very different from Zon-Kuthon... Yeah, an AU where Shelyn was the one who got transformed into a dark goddess of pain-as-art, and Dou-Bral remained the more goodly aspect of the two could be funky. But she sounds like she'd make a better NE or CE goddess than a LE one, and that would throw things out of whack (or require some fiddling with other gods to balance the alignments out again).
Cayden's smirk reminds me a lot of the anime Cobra. 
I would love to know what Zon-Kuthon was like before his transformation. You know, what he was a god of, his old domains, old favored weapon, etc. According to Gods and Magic, Dou-Bral is older than Shelyn, and she joined him in watching over love, music, art and beauty. Then they argued and went to the spaces between the planes where he became Zon-Kuthon.
I can't edit my last post, so I'll continue here: And I think that whatever it is that corrupted Dou-Bral, it could not have taken Shelyn. It's noted that she is uniquely resistant to the Whisperer of Souls' influence, and she doesn't seem to have a drop of bitterness or resentment in her (she even keeps his brother's old divine realm in case he gets better, despite the fact that he attacked her and turned their father into a tortured monstrosity). In contrast, Dou-Bral was jealous of his half-sister for being "better" (in spite of being younger?) (My theory is that in opposing Rovagug, and witnessing the death of so many gods, he became a little broken, leading to his confrontation with Shelyn and allowing whatever twisted him a foothold into his mind).
Just saw the art of Achaekek for Inner Sea Gods. Needless to say, I instantly subscribed to the Campaign Setting for this book. 
Every time I look at this posting, I secretly do a happy chair dance...hope that isn't weird. 
All I can say is SPECTACULAR artwork!
