<p>Like... Aroden's death was originally presented with same amount of weight as Mourning from Eberron. It was this really big setting event that happened relatively close to current setting (sure its 100 years for Aroden, but most of corebook options live longer than hundred years) and both feel like they are actually story important. Mourning doesn't have even in house answer since devs never bothered coming up with reason apparently(this confuses me way my brain works x'D I'd have come up with my own headcanon just in progress of creating such event), but they avoid it becoming inconsistent by Eberron being permanently few years after war ended. This is also the key difference:</p>
<p>Eberron isn't continuous story, its cool premise to start GM's own story, which means as its presented, Mourning is purely up to how gm wants to use it and what kind of answer gm wants to give it. All writers need to know is what was effect of it, the timeline being advanced means they never need to answer questions like "will it happen again" and "was it intentional or not" and such.</p>
<p>Aroden's death is supposed to be similar, but with advancing timeline pathfinder has, it felt weird how early material was promoting its presence super heavily while adventures treat it as background event long in the past rather than something actually scarring the world. Like the way you would have thought about it from early pathfinder material, you'd think it was setting up myth arc where eventually after lot of breadcrumbs, we will know why prophecy died and whether Aroden's death was cause or just one of effects.</p>
<p>Second problem with Aroden's death is that Aroden's death itself isn't that interesting unless you are just interested in knowing Aroden's story's end. Death of prophecy is interesting, but its hard to tell if Aroden's death caused all of weird events or not.</p>
<p>Like this is why I think The Gap is much better example of setting mystery: its 300 years in the past so its easy to accept it as "one of those things affecting grandparents of my grandparents that was big event, but nobody figured out answer and maybe nobody will". Its inherently interesting "why it happened, what caused it" but you also know from get go its never getting answered due to its presentation making it fairly clear it exists to separate pathfinder and starfinder.</p>
<p>TLDR: I think how Aroden's death was originally presented had tendency to make you think the mystery was actually going to be explored plus it itself isn't that interesting, people are more interested in death of prophecy part. Ironically the main problem I have with it is recency.</p>Aroden's death is one of those weird things where I get the intent (they never gonna reveal it because its meant to be fascinating setting mystery that connects to big feature of setting aka prophecy dying, but they have in house answer to keep setting consistent and devs sometimes comment on what was their pre paizo headcanon) but execution of it is bit questionable to me because of presentation.

<p>Like... There is no reason to have story about how Rovagug's death leads to massive power vacuum because that wouldn't be what Rovagug fears. Maybe there could be surprising character reveal, but that kind of story would be more representative of collective fear of gods rather than teaching something new about Rovagug.</p>
<p>Same way, unless short story would reveal something surprising about Gorum's insecurities, you'd think there wouldn't be much fo story to tell. Sure we didn't know about Cayden Cailean's possible impostor syndrome (except that in retrospect it makes 100% sense both in pathfinder and starfinder, starfinder iteration's relapse into further alcoholism post Gap seems kinda like redo of his alcohol binge memory loss so it likely was trauma trigger for him), but its reveal fits perfectly into place. Gorum so far is essentially spirit of battle without further personality, he is cool, but you'd think his fear would be rather simple topic to explore.</p>
<p>Like you would think that story about Irori's death would be boring, but if you look it as character study of what Irori fears, then suddenly it has lot of potential to give more depth to Irori </blockquote>...and if this <i>is</i> being drawn from the fears of each deity, then that's a suggestion that the author would be able to plug into such fears inherently.... which in turn suggests the idea that it might be a god who garners that information through their domains, and that somehow that... </blockquote><p>In this scenario, Cayden's fear isn't that something is sipping his divinity, its imposter syndrome and fear that he doesn't actually deserve his godhood because he can't remember how he earned it

<p>When he finally arrives at Wounded Wisp, Grimn sees that there are quite many people there already and some type of game going on.</p>

Like what would be good surname(if any is needed) and whether Grundinnal is best fit for this paladin(I felt like Torag didn't work, but I don't know enough about the other ones either <_<;)... I also don't know much about dwarves, besides dwarf stereotypes I want to avoid, I haven't played them earlier.</p>
<p>Also, I took so long time that I'm not sure how to join gameplay discussion at this point X-x; Best that I can come up with is making the awkwardness I feel at joining conversation where lot of people have been having fun conversation for a long time already part of the character's intro xD (I know I'm imagining it, but I feel like I'm intruding by popping up on conversation in middle of it)</p>
<p>Anyway, Grimn is stonelord paladin who started out just as a regular stonemason. Until, for reasons beyond his understanding, his body started turning into stone. He got that under control when he reaffirmed his faith into the gods, but he hasn't been able to grow beard or hair ever since. Not that he minds being bald, there has been a lot of thing about dwarven culture that Grimn never got into. Like, he doesn't really drink much at all, he isn't that stubborn, etc. He has always been rather affable fellow and that didn't stop after he learned to fight.</p>
<p>Reason why he wants to join pathfinder society is rather simple: pathfinders seem to have rather good chance of running into people who need help. And he has some pathfinder friends who inspired him to join. During his service as a paladin he run into some pathfinders doing a mission and he offered to help them as guide. During that mission, he was inspired by their deeds(they were type of pathfinders who went beyond their mission in order to help people) and those pathfinders put good word about him forward. Thats pretty much it.</p>
<p>Now I need to figure out how to include avatars for pfs character aliases... And see if I can find bucket helmet one xD Another thing Grimn never understood is why so many dwarven warriors have helmets without faceplates so that their glorious beards are visible, he doesn't get why people wouldn't want to prevent their faces being stabbed.</p>Well, umm, I probably still need to figure things out...

He is wearing fancy clothes that would fit for merchant at a bazaar. His disproportionately huge crooked nose and wide teethy grin along with white featureless eyes might seem unnerving to some, but those with more worldly knowledge among you recognize that these puppet like features could only belong to a wayang. He lets out low raspy chuckle and tips his hat politely.</p>
<p><b> "Please excuse me for being late. I had a..." </b> wayang takes a pause to pet viper around his neck <b>"...<i>busy</i> day with my patron."</b> as the wayang speaks you notice only right side of his face seems to move, left side of the face has apparently the twisted smile stuck on it. In fact you might notice that his right hand is asymmetrical as well with it having elongated and twisted hook like fingers compared to left hand. </p>
