I wonder if any Azer might sneak into this - they're not technically dwarves, but their Bestiary writeup mentions some having arrived nearby as refugees recently. A timely inclusion with Rage of Elements around the corner!

I've always loved Azer! There's something about our stout burny bois that really calls to me. I've been building them as Ifrit-Dwarves, but a bespoke Ancestry/Heritage would be fun. Certainly more cultural information is welcome, too. The LO books have been some of my favorite gaming guides in several years.

The 2e Bestiary art for them is way too cute. I love them.

One wonders why they're explicitly *not* dwarves, given the resemblance and now their presence in FKM.

I think its similar to how majority of planar creature aren't "humans"

FWIW, the Pathfinder Wiki states of Angradd, "He also employs many azers, who forge weapons that his men wield in battle against fiends."

Also: Azers and Torag
"Priests of Torag can sometimes summon azers for short periods to assist them, and the god is said to be served by an azer diplomat named Ambassador Zurin."

So, the dwarven gods have connections to them. It makes one wonder. I also wonder what the Elemental Plane of Metal will add?

Please, don't do this to us... I can't wait for Rage of Elements' product page to be up, with it's official product description.

I suppose you already have the product cover, although it's too soon to show it to us. I'm also eager to see it, specially for the grown up Yoon, that I'm certain will be featured on it.

We are preparing too solicit Rage of Elements to distributors at the end of the month. I am waiting for a description and mock cover. I don't know any more than you do yet! :)

Oooh!

D'ya think Highhelm has embassies and/or ethnic neighborhood for other dwarven ethnicities?

Somehow I doubt it that the unannounced AP James is so excited to tell us about is the big dwarf adventure people are expecting because of the Highhelm book.

There are more unannounced Adventure Paths than the two I'm super excited to talk about. And there are are more stories that deserve to be told than those as well!

When will these announcements be made?

That's not my call, but I hope soon.

When will these announcements be made?

We are starting to announce new products at the end of every month as they are solicited to to distributors 9 months ahead ahead of release. New products are added to the web store and we highlight featured products with media features and/or social media announcements of our own. July 2023 product announcements will occur this week. Highhelm is the most recent example. We may occasionally announce products earlier than that, such as at PaizoCon or Gen Con, at the CCO's discretion.

I’ll be eagerly refreshing all week!

In anticipation of this one and Sky King's Tomb, I got curious about if Highhelm hosts any of the dwarven Rivethun spirit-talkers, and it turns out they do! The 1e Adventurer's Guide details the Smoldering Court, a "Rivethun monastery and nexus of spirit activity" that's a historic part of the city going back ages. There's also an interesting note that the Rivethun faith has spread to lots of non-dwarves, with the fascinating wording that it's grown "among humans, halflings, and especially half-orcs."

Fingers crossed Nenakari Ougor and her Smoldering Court make an appearance in this!

I can't believe how stoked I am for a book that's still so far out.

That sounds so good!

I'm really hoping that Highhelm has more stuff than just the Stalwart Defender (though I'm very stoked about this, as well). Been looking for Foehammer and Stoneheart and other popular dwarf goodies for quite a while now.

Ohhh this has me really excited! We haven't gotten much Rivethun discussion in 2e so far if I recall.

Pretty much none, I believe - they're presented as a Background in LOWG, but so devoid of context as to not say much at all. I'd be glad to see them get some 2e spotlight, between being a uniquely-Golarion dwarf thing, being fun trans representation, and being some of my best chances at playable Shamans

Agreed on all accounts, One of my favorite aspects of the setting.

Wikl this book discuss interactions with other dwarven kingdomz, i.e. the one fron Agr of Ashes?

Am I the only one that really wants to known what will the book following this one cover? Another one of the inner sea regions? Another continent? Yet another faction? Or maybe something along the lines of Lost Omens Legends? I can't wait to see the announcements for the next half of this year.

We announce October products at the end of February, November products by the end of March, and December products by the end of April. By PaizoCon Online in May you will be hearing about 2024!

It's March, but the October AP volume remains a secret.

The official Paizo twitter account said to keep an eye out for something tomorrow afternoon.

It's worth remembering that Wargamer now has exclusive preview rights for certain Pathfinder things, also.

Has the announcement been made?

Meh, not exclusive. Some announcements are worth doing ourselves. Plus, if iO9, Polygon, or IGN want to compete for Wargamer's preview position, I'll let them. ;)

Neat! I’d misunderstood that agreement.

I appreciate your Forum guidance!

Here is hoping to the Dwarven pantheon getting longer write ups in this book.

It is! Angradd, Bolka, Dranngvit, Folgrit, Grundinnar, Kols, Magrim, and Trudd each get a writeup and piece of art. There's also a fair amount on the dwarven pantheon as a collective.

Back cover text:

Delve the Mountain Deep!
When the first dwarves reached the surface of Golarion, they constructed enormous keeps to serve as their new home. The mightiest of these keeps was Highhelm, a Sky Citadel built deep within the Five Kings Mountains. While other Sky Citadels have fallen since those ancient days, Highhelm holds strong, serving as one of the major centers of dwarven culture. Delve into the Emperor’s Peak to experience Highhelm in all its glory. Learn about everyday life in the city, dwarven culture, and the various clans who influence the Sky Citadel. Explore the city’s layers and surroundings, each featuring mysterious locations and sites of intrigue suitable for a multitude of adventures. Brave heroes and canny adventurers can even visit Highhelm for animal companions, martial training, new equipment, and more! What secrets will you find in the depths of Highhelm?

My vibration from excitement is only intensifying. I've ultrasonically welded components of my chair.

This release sorta crept up on me. Excited to see it in a couple months!

Next month is suddenly so soon!

Oh! I think this might be the last Lost Omens book that will release under the OGL?

I'm really looking forward to this book, I haven't seen much of the existing lore on dwarves in Golarion so it'll all be fresh for me :) Also a friendly reminder to the Marketing team to please update the LO Subscription so that we can start with this product!

Will the rrmaster project impact this book?

Will the rrmaster project impact this book?

This book comes out next month, so more than likely, no.

If this book was going to be affected by the remaster, Paizo would have said so already.

How many pages is this?

How many pages is this?

Amazon has it at 136 pages.

I was really tempted to make a cleric of Magrim to play in the Abomination Vaults game I am in, but for some reason, probably my background, had to go with the Osirion pantheon.

Will the cover be updated after Paizo Con?

Will duergar information be in this book, especially in light of the information provided at Paizo Con?

Yes, Impossible Lands, and Firebrands are the two books currently available as options both of which I got through other means before realizing subscriptions existed.
