So, I'm working on adding appropriate map icons for locations on the map of Kyonin. For the Wandering Spheres - the broken remains of a once massive stellar orrery - I want to use the spaceship icon. Why? Here's the top of discussion.

Because apparently, the spheres/celestial bodies of the broken orrery don't seem to depict even the same solar system Golarion's in. This is from a Memory of Darkness.

This actually infers that Castrovel the planet wasn't the home planet of the Elves or that at the very least they had access to other solar systems/Crystal Spheres.

Spelljammer, anyone?

Hey. Can anyone tell me if there's any information about the elf settlement of Elistia in this book that isn't already available on this blog?

Thanks!

So, I've been working for months now on a massive rehaul/revamping of pretty much everything Elven in Golarion, going back all of the way to the Age of Darkness/Serpents. But at the same time I've literally been combing every Paizo product available (including new ones) for all references to anything Elven or Elf-related. My goal is to essentially keep as true as possible to every bit of canon but simply fill in the spaces. Very large spaces.

Thus far there's been very little said about the actual government or social structure of the Elves of Kyonin. Pretty much, it's been all summaries/paraphrasing from the Second Darkness AP and Elves of Golarion in all products since these two were published. I was hoping for more information in Inner Sea Races, but again, rehashed stuff. (Though I certainly do think overall the book is a good buy if you don't already have all of the racial splatbooks and then some!)

My question is about the Winter Council. Specifically, what became of then after Second Darkness? Have there been any actual CANON references to the group or its members in print - or even anything from Paizo writers on or off the books?

Note that I am not looking necessarily for what everyone has done or would do with them after Second Darkness. I have a lot of partially-developed plans and ideas already in mind - I'd just like to see if there's any lore "thumb tacks" I'v missed that I should pin into my grand design to work with.

Of course, if you WANT to share original ideas, feel free. I'll be happy to discuss. :D

So, I own the existing products about Dragons currently in print by Paizo. I was wondering if there might be any products planned in the future that divulge any more information about Dragons on Golarion? Specifically, their history? There's numerous references to ages of Dragons and Giants in the distant past. We're getting some history about the Giants in the Giantslayer AP.

What about the ancient Dragons?

I was thinking they might be prevalent in the Age of Serpents.

There's been several threads concerning whether or not the RAW for Claw Blades is an accurate reflection of the RAI on the part of the Paizo PF crowd.

Benefit: The blades grant the wearer a +1 enhancement bonus on claw attack rolls with that hand and change the weapon type from a natural weapon to a light slashing weapon. Catfolk with the cat's claws racial trait are proficient with this weapon. The claw blades can be enhanced like a masterwork weapon for the normal costs. The listed cost of the item is for one set of five claws for one hand.

There seems to be a consensus that the RAW matches RAI in allowing Claw attacks with a set of Claw Blades to utilize iterative attacks with a high enough BAB. However, the above section is the topic of this thread. While wielding a set of Claw Blades on one claw, would it become a non-natural, manufactured weapon and thus a Primary Attack? Would a second Claw attack (full round attack action) thus be treated as a Secondary weapon (suffering the -5 penalty?)

And, what happens to any passive/constant Feats, Traits, Abilities, etc., that a character might have, assuming the Prerequisite was a natural attack (claw), when the Claw Blades are actually equipped?

I would appreciate if a Paizo/PF employee might be able to give an official ruling on the debate. Thanks in advance!
