Pathfinder Lost Omens: Highhelm

I'm not sure where to notify about this, but I just noticed what I'm HOPING is a problematic oversight in the art of Magrim on page 122 of the book.

** spoiler omitted **

We can assure everyone this was an accident and are already looking into updating the PDF and future printings of the book to correct the art. We're also working with our artists to avoid these kind of errors in the future. Our art team has a list of things to avoid that they share with artists to avoid problems like this, and this specific example is getting included on this list for future illustrations.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

You know, just because something was appropriated by a bunch of a~%$*$+s shouldn't make it anathema for others to use that thing as it was originally intended. Just my opinion.

I note that Wikipedia shows this rune in what Zousha calls its "Nazi" orientation. Same, apparently, for Unicode. I'm no runic scholar, but I wonder if that wasn't the original orientation.

You are personally free to use the rune however you want, just as we can choose to not include it in our products, knowing that it might cause some members of our community distress, or that it might falsely signal to those using it as a symbol of hate that we approve with their views. This isn't the place to discuss the correct use of appropriated hate symbols.

I have my pdf copy. Did some skimming and I love the section on the Rivethun. Also the amount of queer rep in the book is truly incredible.

Does our friend, Shardra, make an appearance?

Yes

I expressed an opinion. I did not say that I was interested in a debate. I'm not. Nor would I ever say that Paizo cannot do whatever it wants with its own products.

Both of you drop it and move on, please.

I noticed a couple of discrepancies between deity statblocks between here, Gods and Magic and the Sky King's Tomb guide.
Folgrit has a Dvivine Skill of Medicine or Diplomacy depending on source, Trudd either accetpts or doesn't CG followers and Angradd has changed Divine Abilities from Str/Con to Int/Wis.
Any ideas which ones are the correct ones?

Usually, the standard is "the later publication is right".

But official sources like AoN will most probably "correct" the current version on the site with these new changes.

Question about Dwarven Government council.
Page 17 of Highhelm in the side bar. It mentions small settlements that don’t have representation
Of a larger settlement their representation falls to a “Strangers Advocate” , a position assigned to a different city state member of the GRAND COUNCIL.
Is grand a typo of crown council or is it a separate thing

Q

There are a lot of mentions of Torag’s Shield, but I’m having trouble figuring out where exactly it is being built? Looking at the map, is it the wall around the surface portions of King’s Crown? Or is it being built on one of the lower levels to protect against invaders from the Darklands?

For such a major project, details seem pretty scarce, at least from what I have been able to find, though I admit I haven’t made it through the entire book yet, so perhaps I missed it. Does anybody know?

The Gazeteer of King's Crown has Torag's Wart (location 6) as the primary place of manufacture and testing of Torag's Shiueld so most of the activity seems to be in the West of King'sCrown for now.

It seems to be a mountain shield so defending from aboveground threats, mostly Tar-Baphon, rather than the Underdark.

Hey, for some reason, even though I downloaded it before, I had to get a new computer, and now I can't seem to be able to download the PDF. Could I get some help, please?

I was having the same troubles, so I came to this listing to see if anyone else was having them.

I read through the last page, and it seems like they're updating prints and the pdfs, which is probably why we can't download them at the moment.

I am *also* having issues downloading the Highhelm .pdf --the single file is showing 143 bytes and the chapter file is showing 157 bytes.

Neither opens when I attempt to open them.

Please advise as this seems to be a system issue and not a personal one worthy of individual attention.

It's still probably going to be best to email customer service, as they have a ticketing system and can triage to the right team right away.

Customer Service was notified as well.

Got message back that ticket is in queue and being investigated.

No estimate on time, nor should one be expected between GenCon, GenCon Discount, and such factors.

I'm having this exact same problem, including the same file sizes. Except now the single file doesn't even attempt to download at all. Tried it on multiple devices and browsers.

I was in contact with customer service but I haven't heard from them since Tuesday.

I am getting the same error. so this seems to be kind of a universal issue.

Joining in to confirm I have am having the sames issue; ticket has been sent to Customer Service.

Yep, it's looking like the issue has changed to "unable to download at all". I'll probably send a ticket to Customer Service once the weekend is over and Paizo has returned from GenCon.

As above, having these same issues, pretty bad timing with Sky King's Tomb though

As I've been away for awhile but is there a reason Droskars entry was omitted but their entry in the Avatar and Pantheon section is there?

Hm. Interesting. I originally downloaded these files sometime before July 26th, which is when they were updated. For me, at least, it was that update that messed things up, as I just now tried to download the files again, and got broken files of ±150 bytes on two of them, and no download on the other two (no error message, they just didn't download anything).

When will this be fixed?

I believe its because Droskar already got a full write-up in Age of Ashes 4 (Fires of the haunted city).

So ….
What clan is High King Borgrim the Hale from

I checked my account this morning and was able to download the single file with no issues.

Did you notice when the file was last uploaded?

For folks who had issues pertaining to downloading Highhelm recently (Last week or so per those currently discussing), our wonderful Tech Team has informed us last night this issue should be corrected. If you have a ticket in with us and have been waiting for a reply, we are working through our backlog of tickets and getting to you all as quickly as possible pertaining to this situation.

However, if you are still having difficulties with your download or otherwise, please reach out to us in Customer Service and we will do what we can to further assist. Thank you!

I redownloaded and I think I got good files. At least, they were 65 MB more or less

So far, so good.

Question about the Breakiron clan from the book. Page 32 describes them as Steelhilt, but page 54 says they are a Goldhilt clan. Which is correct?

Finally finished reading Highhelm, was an enjoyable read, but I got really curious about one bit of background lore: "Dwarves of Tian Xia", I don't remember from the 1E books there being many if any, Dwarves over there, so now I am *really* curious to see if the pop up in either of the upcoming Tian Xia books.

After rewatching the Battle of the 5 Armies, I so want a dwarf with the goat mount/companion.

We really need a way to flag fake reviews/reviewers.

The only detailed review is 5 stars, which is not at all reflected in the average rating.

Tbh, that just means more people should bother writing reviews.

Like, people reviewing with agenda, for trolling or to "counter other reviews" would be eavened out if most people bothered to give feedback and reviews.

(this is on my to do list, but I'm tired from reviewing edgewatch books plus I have lot of writing projects going on :'D )

Just wanted to say that I bought this in preparation for running SKY KING'S TOMB, and it's a magnificent setting book. Tons of detail, great art... all the stuff which made me love the hobby from back in the day [namely the Mystara gazetteers]. And just the right length.

A pair of my players also bought a copy, and they have built some great dwarven PCs, with clan identifications and all these fun details from the book. They also agreed that the book is great.

Session 1 on Tuesday! Wish us luck!
