Chronicles of the Divine

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!

My first reaction to this: Wow, after all that research, I'm impressed!

Second Thoughts: I'd still like to see a statblock for Ghenschau. Ah well, omitting ol' Breezes-Still-and-Ripples-Cease does help simplify things a bit, which is a part of his faith.

Third Thoughts: I would like to see Edicts/Anathema for the Peacock Spirit, even though printing it would count as blasphemy.
Since it's most likely a dead faith at this point, I'm guessing it'd be ** spoiler omitted **

To be fair, Edicts and Anethema can exist outside of the world so I don't think it's nessercarily blasphmeny.

I meant that, in-setting, Spiriters wouldn't have wanted information about their mystery cult to be publicly available; and that, out-of-setting, a fully-accurate explanation would be an AP Spoiler for PF1e.

Luis posted it in the product page for the full book.

Thanks for catching this! The proper anathema should read "stop taking care of yourself, wallow in self-pity, refuse to right past wrongs."

Thats because its a Vudran deity that hasn't actually been statted up yet.


Yes, no gods are "missing" from this list unless they've previously received second edition deity stat blocks. A simple mention, even if it's extensive in a lore article, or a PF1 stat block, is not enough to earn a spot here. This is just updates/partial consolidation of existing god stat blocks.

There are assuredly more gods who are going to get, say, write-ups in the back matter of adventure paths.

One of the purposes of Divine Mysteries, and the absolute purpose of the web supplement is "if you are already playing a character who is a cleric/champion of [deity], you now have the remastered rules for that deity."

Nobody is playing a Cleric of a deity that exists, but we have no write-up of them, unless it's homebrew, and then you can just homebrew more.


The Forsaken initially planned to use the power of their worshippers' souls to escape the Netherworld, but before they could do so, they disappeared in an enigmatic calamity.

If the Forsaken disappeared like the Osirian and Hag deities, why are they not listed in In Memoriam (Other dead, missing, or unaccounted for gods)?

Where can I learn more about the Green Man Faiths? They look interesting. Thanks.

Having an infobox on the Pathfinder wiki doesn't mean statted up. All of that info is from a novel. And none of it helps you make a cleric or other character who worships the deity and gains mechanical benefits from that.

The recently-released Wardens of Wildwood book 2 has a 6-page section on the Green Man Faiths! :)

This is due to the fact that they are still granting divine power, though in a very limited sense. If you check out the entry for owbs in Bestiary 3, we have stats for the owb prophet, a creature that gains a fragment of divine power from the Forsaken. How and why this happens is yet to be explained, but it's technically possible. The nature of the Forsaken is also such that a PC receiving power from them would be exceptionally rare, but not impossible (i.e. talk to your GM before worshipping them!). The entries in the In Memoriam section are for deities who can't grant power to PCs currently, whether it's because they're dead or some other, unknown reason. Of course, you're free to adjust that for your home game.

They haven't been statted up in 2e. They have no edicts, anathema, domains, or anything of the sorts. We have lore on them, sure, but the check for deities missing from here is purely for stuff which are in 2e already (this is in large part a "Here's the stats updated for the remaster"). There is a massive host of various deities and demigods who exist but haven't had stats in PF2 yet and thus didn't get included. Admittedly, this also does go and include a bunch of "bonus" deities, but they're fun extras. It would be absurd to expect every single deity who have had stuff written about them get done for this document.
