I have a different take, though it based in my interpretation of Zon-Kuthon (ZK).

They aren't merged at all.
Zon-Shelyn and Zon-Kuthon will exist at the same time trying to meet a similar goal.

-The very brief overview-
When Dou-Bral (DB) went to the great beyond he discovered the truth of the universe and the Far Realms: [REDACTED] use pain and the fear of pain to manipulate mortals in order to [REDACTED].

This caused DB to realize that the only way to save the realm of mortals and by extension the gods was to subvert the tools of the Outer Gods etc.

By embracing pain and eliminating the fear of it, the mortals can be free of the manipulations and possibly stabilize this incarnation of existance.

This is why ZK seeks to spread his teachings of pain, to save the universe.

Shelyn goes on her own Far Realms walkabout and discovers the same truths, altering her in a similar was as it did her brother.

Now there are two trying to convince the rest of the myopic universe to embrace the pain before it's too late....

**I know this may not be the actual direction of Paizo, but after so many years of crafting their world to be my world, This Is The Way. **

Overall good news.

Anything to keep WOTC from ruining this game too is necessary. I would say Good, but that brings me to...

The fact I am so glad to see alignment go away, mostly to get rid of alignment damage which has always been clunky and illogical.
Like, "hey you free spirited person this sword will hurt you because it's organized"
Free-spirit "you mean hurt me more than being hit with a sword?"

So this saves me some hassle since I already did away with alignment damage.

Maybe it's time for a more nuanced and objective alignment system that defines Outlook and Behavior rather than some nebulous concept of law and chaos/good and evil.

Splitting the GM out of the Player's books will be great, maybe even out the size of those two a bit since the spine in my CRB is getting ready to give out.

Update for Starfinder, yes please! I want to run this for my group, but I don't want to teach yet another system. Ideally SF2e will be as close to PF2e as systemically possible. This is all that has kept me from buying up all the Starfinder books as I have with Pathfinder First and Second editions.

Only a little bummed that some classic bits will be going away, called nostalgic here, but it's a neccesary sacrifice to starve that other company of opportunities for litigation.

I wonder what exactly is on the chopping block?
