Hey, everyone! Luis Loza here!

Yivali Working, artist Ivan Koritarev : An image of the nosoi Yivali, a psychopomp that resembles a raven wearing a white mask. Yivali is in a library writing notes on a scroll with a quill. Other nosois fly around, cataloging scrolls and tomes.

Did you hear? Lost Omens Divine Mysteries is available now! The book is the best source for all things related to deities and the divine, featuring insights into the workings of divine power, new character options for characters of all kinds, and of course, details on the various gods of Golarion.

Speaking of gods, there were actually too many gods to fit in the book! Once you cover the core deities of the Inner Sea, other notable gods of the regions, demon lords, empyreal lords, monitor demigods, and the rest, it turns out your book is fully packed! Even with 328 pages, we didn’t have enough space for every god featured in Pathfinder Second Edition! Even with the many gods we’ve featured in the game so far, we didn’t want to leave some of you without an option to worship your favorite god under our remastered rules.

Luckily, Yivali, the psychopomp author of Divine Mysteries, is very thorough in her work and was able to collect a listing of all the gods she encountered in her research! If you wanted to know the sanctification for Balumbdar or needed to see if Ragdya’s favored animal is the monkey (it is), then this web supplement is for you. Any god that has been featured in Pathfinder Second edition so far is included here! The supplement also contains all of the gods featured in Divine Mysteries to help make this a convenient source for all things divine. We hope you enjoy the fruits of Yivali’s labors!

He's right where he belongs, second in the empyreal lords section.

I am a little perplexed why, of all gods, Acavna and Amaznen are not in the In Memoriam section. True, they're not exactly recent deaths, but then neither is Aroden.

You know, I'm sure it would've been unlikely, but it would've been cool to see T'chekuth here. Him and the Iblydan Hero gods would be my "missing picks." Not too big of a deal of we don't see them, though.

I hope we get all of those weirdos from that Tyrant's Grasp backmatter article in 2e when it's time for a trip back to Iblydos.

Indeed... when I typed all the deities manually, I typoed him as "Arwueros". xD And for some reason, everytime I double and triple checked in the PDF, I must have typoed his name, AND his title, every times... *sigh*. Thanks for notifying me! xD

Fixed my Spreadsheet. Sadly way too late to fix my previous post. U_U

Note for upcoming errata: Neshen's entry here has the same mistake as in the Divine Mysteries book (page 308) where his edicts are repeated as anathema.

alas, my beloved Kroina, still not mentioned in 2E...

Feronia did get a name drop in RoE if memory serves, but no "stat block".

Yeah, hard to spreadsheet lore mentions without doing TONS of reading across literal hundreds of books. :P

So yeah, all these numbers are only related to deities available for character options.

You know that makes a lot of sense. I don't know why i assumed the knowledge sprang free from your head.

We tried our hardest to include every 2E god released up to this point, but if we're missing anyone or if any of the info seems wrong or contradictory, please let us know!

Happy gaming! :)

There are superscript foot note markers on entries like Ragathiel (t), Cong, some weapons and domains but the handout doesn't include the footnotes. I assume in Ragathiel's case it means "so cool we put him on the back cover."
Those are at the very top of the document, right above the core gods.

Ahh! Footnotes at the top. So clever! Good perception roll.

Lost Omens Divine Mysteries page 23

" True Gods are not alwasys the oldest, though all those-like you, my Lady-that are so ancient as to have existed before the Age of Creation appear to fall into this category. Among these are Abadar, NETHYS, Sarenrae, Calistria, Gozreh, Asmodeus, Torag, Gorum, and that horror Rovagug. But the Ascended-Iomedae, Cayden Cailean, and Norgorber-are quite young and yet must also be counted among true gods because they are so powerful."

Nethys is supposed to be an ascended together with Irori and also one of the young gods? not before the age of creation.

Dammerich has Truth as both a Domain and an Alternate domain. Presuming the alternate domain should be None?

Confirmation that Nethys is actually an ancient god that pretend to be an ascended human so he can hang out with the younlings?

Explain why he seems mad, the incarnation of all magic must have no idea how mortal actually act.

But in all seriousness, I think they intended for either Desna or Erastil to be here instead of Nethys. It is interesting tho that apparently Gozreh is so ancient, when I always though that he was born along with golarion ecosystem (and thus, after Rovagug's cage was closed).

No, it's just at the moment of ascension he broke magic and himself (and time a little) so much that he was always here from the start. Neat trick.

Funnily, I don't think we know when Nethys ascended..? All I can find is that humans, and Golarion, were created (and thus existed) during the Age of Creation... and that he was already a deity around the time of the Age of Anguish, before the creation of Osirion. So he ascended during this roughly potentially infinite span of time. xD (Infinite, as the Age of Creation have no set times coordinates, and could as much be 10 million years before recorded history or 1 million billion trillion (etc) years before. xD ... heck, with deities, could be both.)


The goblin gods are just the best


Just cross-referencing Arshea's entry here with their recent remaster write up in Curtain Call - their level 1 cleric spell is listed here as jump instead of mystic armour and they've lost their alternate change and repose domains - can someone help me make a call on which is well 'more' official so I can guide any Arsheans at my table?

AP stuff is where Paizo gives freelancers the opportunity to scribble with a crayon for rules additions in the backmatter of their book, and the developer only checks only to make sure it’s not an obscene drawing before they publish. Everything is more official than AP rules stuff.

It's nice to see Set get the option for Holy and Unholy and some much kinder anathema. I know one of my players was quite sad to see the deity all evil, but it seems he got a more neutral take on his character now!

Him and Sobek. I was surprised they could have have holy priests.

Easivra is missing.

Should Curchanus be in the dead gods?

To be fair, Sobek was CN in 1e. And ooooo, I hadn't noticed those changes to Set. I like that much better than what we had before!

What a dismissive and hurtful way to describe many people's hard work.

That's incredibly insulting and reductive and nonconstructive. If you're not a fan of the content in Adventure Paths, there are countless more constructive ways to convey that sentient without being so cruel. I flagged the post for being bating, because obviously it worked, but I couldn't just say nothing without defending the hard work and passion the authors we work for on the Adventure Paths have put into the project for years longer than the Pathfinder RPG game has even existed.

To offer a more productive and fact-based response here:

The article for Arshea was written and developed and edited while Divine Mysteries was still being worked on. In cases like this, we do cross check and cross reference forward, and do our best to make sure that "preview" content like this that we know is going to be in an upcoming product will match, but sometimes late changes to the later project make this impossible. In Curtain Call, Arshea's devotee benefits map closely to what they were in previous OGL versions, which at the time were, to my understanding, what was heading into Divine Mysteries. Personally, I feel like mystic armor and those two alternate domains are flavorful choices that match the faith very well. I'll look into the table in Divine Mysteries to try to investigate whether the table makes deliberate changes or if they're typos, in any event, but in the meantime, go with the version you prefer for your table.


Mystic Armor is already on the divine list, which is likely why it got replaced in Divine Mysteries.
