Talea Torv's page

If you’re not deriving a mechanical benefit from it, treat it like veneration.

“My name is Talea Torv, and I am a follower of Aroden. Yes, I know he’s dead. Others have come back from the dead. Why not him?”

Talea is my Ustalavic Scarab Sage character who venerates Aroden and is interested in many of the philosophic tenets of the Esoteric Order of the Palatine Eye. Her former boss was a member, and she’s considering joining once she’s had a chance to learn more about ancient Osirioni ruins and cultures. (Although she is an Arodenite, no way is she getting involved with the Harbingers of Fate — mainly because their history with the Society makes them Nut Jobs.)

At any rate... You can pretty much “venerate” whatever you want. You can only “worship” PFS legal options.

I love that book for the fluff about secret societies. Talea’s background give her a reason to know a little about the Esoteric Order, but she’s not a member or even an initiate yet, but is definitely interested in proving her worth to the order at some undefined later date in time.

An athletic woman walks forward in a brusque, no nonsense manner. She speaks in a thick Russian Ustalavic accent. “Greetings, I am Talea Torv. I am seeking Aroden. So what if he is dead? Others have come back from the Boneyard, so can he. I am sure I find him somewhere.”

So I am finally starting to build my only Scarab Sage character, a skald from Ustalav who is a fierce Arodenite and a neophyte hopeful trying to get initiated into the Esoteric Order of the Palatine Eye. She has been a GM Baby for nine adventures now, but I think that it is time that I actually, you know, play her... So. I need to do character research.

Can you folks connect me to the best source material you have found on Aroden so far? As a Scarab Sage character and a professional research assistant, Talea would have been one to do some research. I would love to at least know about Aroden what she does.

I have read the Article on Aroden in the Pathfinder Wiki (and followed it to an article in Humans of Golarian) and the article on the Harbingers of Fate cult in Occult Mysteries, but I would like to dig arround more. I am happy to read Player Companions, Pathfinder Tales and any other Campaign Setting or Background Material that will help me to dig a bit more into Aroden and his faith, and enrich my roleplay of this character.

If there are PFS adventures that reference Aroden and the cults surrounding him, I would be interested in those as well.

Can you help guide me to good Aroden material?

Hmm
