I've said it before, and I would be shocked if it proves to be the case, but the only acceptable death for Lamashtu would be to die birthing the most world-threatening monster Golarion has ever seen, and for the "Godsrain" to be the afterbirth, warping the flesh of all it touches, given them powers which will be the only hope for stopping the monster. Otherwise, hands of Lamashtu!!!!

That is a very interesting idea ngl. A central theme across the prophecies is that the death of a god causes widespread chaos so my prediction is that Lamashtu foresaw this and decided to kill herself to inflict as much pain as possible to the rest of Golarion. And then a new AP will be released to deal with the aftermath.

A very cool prophecy to cap it off! I never quite settled on whether it was possible they'd be willing to kill Rovagug, but I suppose this settles that. But it's an interesting future this offers; he can be killed, he can be beaten. Even if doing so would be catastrophic for the Cage he inhabits.

A few of the gods haven't been mentioned at all in the prophecies thus far. Gozreh, Lamashtu and I think Calistria have so far been unmentioned. Though I don't think this has any bearing on anything. No mentions of Dark Tapestry stuff here either, which is what I was thinking based on the previous prophecy. Unless you count Rovagug himself as lovecraftian enough. Anyway, is it too insane of a theory that some of the non-core deities mentioned here might be in danger in War of Immortals? Apsu, Hanspur, Grandmother Spider, Hei Feng, Thamir. Though I seriously doubt they'd kill Hei Feng only a few months after the Tian Xia World Guide comes out, and even more so Grandmother Spider.

...And the prophecies end with my two favourite core 20 gods on the chopping block. John Paizo, I will pay you two whole dollarydoos if you kill literally anyone except Lamashtu. It can be all nine of the rest, I'm willing to do that. Now let's keep this hush-hush.

Yes but Calistria and Gozreh were suddenly mentioned here on the tenth prophecy leaving Lamashtu as the only unmentioned god. Too much of a coincidence imho. I betcha someone on Paizo thinks its clever to secretly hint at the dead god by having them as the only unmentioned one. Plus it technically makes sense since, if the main subject of every prophecy is 'guaranteed safe' then the one and only unmentioned god is the 'guaranteed dead'. Too much of a coincidence here imho

Don't know how likely I think that is, but that would be a very fun and clever loophole-adjacent thing

I think Paizo thought of this too and they purposefully mislead us thusly.

Unless they thought we would...

Prophecy 9 mentioned to look for commonalities so there probably HAS to be a common linking thread to the dead god. It's just a matter of identifying the right one.

Lamashtu the only one now that wasn't mentioned in any of the prophecies? Hmmm.

My money is still on Iomedead.

I think it is too much of a coincidence that the other 2 as-of-yet unnamed gods suddenly are name dropped here on the tenth prophecy leaving Lamashtu as the only unmentioned god. Plus, I think it is extremely poetic.

Think about it, since the main character of every prophecy is 'guaranteed safe' it makes sense that the one and only god not mentioned at all is 'guaranteed dead'. Too much coincidence here imho.
