But I definitely want to play this adventure. It could have some interesting bits of tension with the neighbors' populace, though, or it could be magical and not have as much of a detriment to the environment.
Well there’s Naderi, oh… and I guess not all of the Osirion pantheon is gone then.

Interesting that the Vlaka are the only non Pacts Worlds ancestry in here, Unless something changed for them
Huh thought there was supposed to be a section on Gorum and the other dead gods, but I can’t find it in the PDF

You are referencing material presented in a 2007 D&D OGL book that James Jacobs has since stated is not what they wanted to keep when they published 1st edition Pathfinder. So, Tiamat was not kept in the Pathfinder setting when it was first published as its own game and Tiamat was no longer canon once the first Pathfinder Core Rulebook came out. Other PF books referenced events and things related to the story of the dragon gods, but no longer mention her by the name Tiamat.
Also, Dahak is now Apsu’s son and is looking for a rematch whereas, in the older version of the story Apsu was the one hunting Dahak. Also, Apsu is green now instead of being a silver dragon. Dahak has always been Apsu's son, he's also been shown as Green before hasn't he?

There is so much lore in this book, and in places I didn’t even expect to see it as well!
Wow, this book is Juicy with lore, specially in places I wasn’t expecting to find it
Very very hype for this book after all the stuff I’ve been seeing about war of the immortals
I’m also pretty excited for all of the upcoming APs. They all seem really solid and are delving into areas that I’m all that I’m interested in betting there’s gonna be a lot of interesting lore in them as well.

Man I thought that was because she was snek lady, but I guess it was just really bad case of rash. Joking aside cool call back, but I do prefer old look better, let snake women have scales! xD
Anyhoo, does this mean that Twin Imperators are dead or in political exile? I do kinda hope they have survived for more internal conflict in star empire but guess we'll find out soon xD
Wasn't there an image that came out of someone sitting on a throne with two bodies on the ground?
Give world more please :3

The Pantheon changes are *interesting*
Also NGL the idea of a wandering Kholo mercenary band in the context of Belkzen immediately made my brain go full Eberron.

They're observing the experiment to understand any possible failings of their particular plans, perhaps.

Oh I was disagreeing with the other person saying it wasn’t a genocide. It very much was one.
Wait! This is the colony from Ruins of Azlant! OOO, I’m excited for this one!

Yeah… having read those, there were definitely some factions of Dwarves that wanted to wipe out the Orcs, hell, the Quest for Sky was a series of resettlements, pushing Orcs and other other folk out of their lands and then moving on once again, it wasn’t some cut and dry thing.
If there had been any attempts for peace at any point, the continued shifting of borders in the favor of the Dwarves quest certainly helped nothing.

It's SO GOOD! I love Liane Merciel's writing! I can't wait for the full novel!
And it's also very nice to read the Prophecies with extra annotations, setup on my book reader, comfortably laying on my couch in a nice blanket. :3 Definitely seems like they may be setting up some plot points for future content as well

Oh, I misread this the first time I looked at this; I thought the shard had hit Oenopion and the *massive* Ooze beneath it
*Hmm* Think there are a few society adventures that I am going to have to get my hands on just so I can read the over all consequences of their actions.
Excited to get my hands on the regional article!

Amazing!
And more than ever do I want to learn about the folk of the Okaiyo.
I'm hoping for either the Saga Lands or Broken Lands to get a look next personally
Deeply excited to get a look at the new Sakorin stuff over the others, but it’s gonna be fun to get a look at all of these academies
No, this isn’t exactly what this chat is for, but since the Starfinder ancestries are supposed to be cross compatible or least, that’s what I was led to believe. Where do you think they’d fit in be Golarion?

Nakou mention, interesting interesting. Also took me a sec to realize that marking the elk meant she had actual antlers XD.
Syvis wrote: Kishmo wrote: Oooh. Are those two, uh, 'napping,' let's say, at the base there Iorian and Yridela Ixomander, current joint Star Imperators of the Azlanti Star Empire? Yeah, that was my concern too. The Azlanti Star Empire has, like much of the galaxy after the Drift Crisis, been going through some changes. The recent upheaval and fighting against the status quo gave us some hope, but it was certainly not going to go without a response by those in charge... and it looks like someone who isn't going to let even the status quo slow them down my be in charge now. Well we know a big enough conflict kicks off between them and the Vesk that Pulonis is not just able to go independent but join the Pact. The fact that that doesn't immediately descend into chaos kind of shows how much they have committed against the Azlanti.
Plus, there was an art reveal of a new Azlanti "Purist" Faction that was going to become a core antagonist.
So… I think they’re changing some of the established numbers around the Station cause the opening preamble say that’s it’s home to “Billions” of people and last time I checked the pop. was sitting at 2.1 mil.

Heck, for a long time, there was almost NO mention of them outside of the SF1e core rulebook! Yeah but they were both Core Gods and had major influences on the wider setting, Desna being the literal goddess of space and Iomedae through the Knights of Golarion so I’m wondering what changed.

Well… thanks to the Azlanti I guess for distracting the Vesk so they didn’t immediately go to war with the Pact Worlds for occupying “their” territory.
Really gotta wonder how that is gonna effect interstate politics going forward.

I thought people were posting about the info they'd gotten from the book possibly going out to subscribers, and instead, all I find is discourse.
Boo
Cheliax and Andoran are definitely going to be fighting *soon* if they already aren’t due to the Godsrain.

I’m not looking for more stuff intermingling, I’m wondering if Mystics/Solarions could emerge anywhere in Golarion.
I mean old lore, which maybe changing, said the Kasatha brought the Cycle with them to the Pact Worlds, and we already know there were some groups of Kasatha living on Golarion previously so we could see some stuff in the Broken Lands, hell Numeria could be a font for Technomancy as well.
