When will the cover art and summaries for the last two books be updated?
See the above discussion. Probably very soon, but they are still hiring a new Web Store coordinator, so things may not be updated as timely as we would like.
Thank thee.
Omg this cover is amazing!
If that’s a black dragon ravener I’m going to squeal!
Hm. “Black dragon ravener.” Now where have I heard that before? Glances at Tar-Baphon’s helm
The Brawler lady (totally don't know her name) completely just uppercut that crocodilian, and its amazing.
Has a brain-fart
Yhalas the Serene?
Realizes brain-fart
I’m a friggin’ idiot XD
Her name’s Kess, btw.
I love the cover. Not sure it's a Black Dragon Ravener but maybe an Umbral Dragon Ravener perhaps?
Also I love the fact that we'll get some stats for Barzahk and another psychopomp. :)
Punch and blast those "gators".

That's probably either Naraga's Mother or Sister, who also became raveners. I wonder which one of the two.
Darn. Pnaktous is right. I remember that from reading the description of Tar-Barphon's helm. Oh well. Maybe next time I'll get an umbral dragon ravener.
For anyone who has the PDF (and I know of at least one person who does) -- What can you tell us about Xopatl?
From the map folio, the crude world map of Golarion, and basic geographical knowledge, I think I know where it has to be -- on that relatively narrow piece of land that lies west of an ocean bay and east of a great inland lake. Can anyone confirm or deny my speculation about its location?

That's correct. It's in that little strip near the center of Arcadia, if you're looking at the "totally not an accurate or scale representation of Golarion" map.

Lol there's a luchador mask magic item.
And a day of the dead psychopomp, kind of like a male Catrina with a guitar.
A stepped pyramid.
One Arcadian deity (evil).
Bestiary has two couatl variants, the aforementioned psychopomp, a CR 28 psychopomp usher that looks like a crow, and some kind of semi-undead dwarf.
The psychopomp Barzahk appears to be a demigod deity, as they have an obedience and all three sets of boons as well as combat stats -- but I can't seem to find their domains. Were they perhaps given in an earlier volume of this adventure path?
David,
I'm pretty sure Book of Concordant Rivals has Barzahk's domains.
Thanks!
And it looks like their Monitor Obedience boons were repeated as their Exalted boons.

May I ask for a little more detail on the two deities, namely:
- Name & Alignment;
- Areas of Concern;
- Epithet/Title & Holy Symbol ;
- Domains ?
Oh, & perhaps anything that strikes you as interesting/cool about them ?
Please & thank you.

NG god of childbirth, protection, and warfare
Symbol: two couatls consuming each other’s tails with their wings overlapping in the center
Ah Pook aka The Destroyer
NE god of death, destruction, and the moon
Symbol: a skull with a crescent eclipse
I held off on the domains since they are game mechanics.
Another interesting thing is that, in this volume, all of the NPCs speak Razatlani and none of them speak Common (unless I missed someone in my quick skim of the PDF). Of course, by this level the party should have access to spells like Tongues.

What are the name and CR of the monsters?
Couatl, Chicome CR 16 LG Huge Outsider (Native)
Couatl, Tletli CR 14 NG Huge Outsider (Native)

Psychopomp, Calaca CR 8 N Medium Outsider (Extraplanar, Psychopomp)
Psychopomp Usher, Barzahk the Passage CR 28 N Medium Outsider (Extraplanar, Psychopomp, Shapechanger)

Is there any mention of Arazni's ethnicity or the two deities' divine realms?
Arazni is from Xopatl, so she is most likely Razatlani, although she could be Balveris, Calani, Caldaru, Kansari, Kurosha, Mahwek, or Ouerfasean.
Barzahk's realm is the Dead Roads. I couldn't find any realm information for the other two deities.
Technically the Dead Roads are kind of like a demi-plane in that it connects to various other planes and Barzakh's kind of like the keeper of the place.
Also thank you David for the info on the monsters and deities. :)

I like how couatls have become sort of a new subtype of celestials. There's even a coualt god. I wonder what type of aasimar would they birth.
This also makes me want the garudas to be promoted as well.
I like how couatls have become sort of a new subtype of celestials.They have been like that since the xiuh couatl appeared in For Queen and Empire in 2016.
Indeed. There just wasn't this many of them. Rather, we didn't get stats for that many.
I suppose there are almost 10 of them now.

All I care about is having coualts answer a few prayers when the PCs are feeling a little overwhelmed...

Am I failing Perception or are the page numbers missing in this pdf volume?
Any chance that could be remedied please?

Well, the page numbers aren't really needed in the PDF.
But doesn't that mean that they are also missing from the printed copy, where they really are needed?
Wait, are we talking Caldaru as in the Shackles ethnicity?
Yep, that really seems to be the case here. Spelling is the same, and there have been hints about this in recent years.
But the ethnicities I listed appear to be the Arcadian ethnicities in general. For Xopatl alone, Razatlani are the major ethnicity, with Balveris and Caldaru as the most significant minorities.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Does the Razatlani ethnicity have any connection with the ancient Azlanti? Maybe they're the descendants of colonists who went west and mingled with the locals there (instead of east like the ones who settled the Cheliax/Taldor and Varisia/Thassilon regions)?
The Razatlani are depicted with very Native American appearances, so I would assume that they have minimal if any Azlanti ancestry.
Then what's the etymology of these very similar names?

In a wholly unprofessional and unofficial guess, Azlant seems pretty similar to Atlantis, while Razatlan seems pretty similar to Mazatlan, a city in Mexico.
The idea that two cultures on different continents must be related because their names are similar doesn't make much sense to me. Do you assume that everyone with the last name "Smith" is related, and when told that they are not, challenge them and ask for a family tree?
Then what's the etymology of these very similar names?Coincidence.
Like a more extreme example of how sow (a female pig) and sow (to plant seeds) are, etymologically, unrelated. Or like how foil (thwart) and foil (thin sheets of metal) are unrelated.
Oh, and I just noticed its Razatlani, not Razazlanti as I had read it. And I only had the posts on this forum as information, i.e. not much beside the names. I don't have the book yet.
