Uncover the secrets of the gods with Lost Omens Divine Mysteries!
The influence of all-powerful deities is felt in every corner of the Lost Omens setting. Whether you're a valorous champion calling the righteous power of your patron down upon wicked foes or a sneaky rogue asking the god of thievery for a blessing on your next heist, faith and the forces behind it are key to every character's identity. Within this volume, you'll find details on the gods and non-deific faiths of the Age of Lost Omens from the perspective of their clergy and lay worshippers. The book also grants a glimpse into the machinations of a god, exploring how a new god rises, why a god takes worshippers in the first place, and what occurs when a god dies.
This 320-page resource for both players and Game Masters is the comprehensive look at all things divine, making it an essential addition to any Pathfinder Second Edition campaign and a remastered update and expansion of the popular Lost Omens Gods & Magic volume! The book updates for all of your favorite Pathfinder Second Edition deities, providing everything you need to know when playing with updated rules found in Pathfinder Player Core and Pathfinder Player Core 2, updating domains, spells, and other mechanics. These include expansions on existing classes like new witch patrons, new archetypes like the Rivethun emissary and powerful mortal herald, and new class archetypes like the battle harbinger option for clerics. The book also includes brand new character options and several additional divine entities never before explored in any Pathfinder reference!

On one hand, for a source book this is mightily useful, as the information it provides would matter to all your character creation if you care even a little bit about their background. Especially with all the remaster setting changes, this is a must-read if you want to make a character in the Golarion setting.
On the other hand, I don't think I enjoyed reading it. The issue is not the writing style nor organization, though, but -- plainly speaking -- the gods and beliefs are made too blend. What they are and do are presented in such a matter-of-fact way that there is very little style, or mysticism. It's more mechanical rather than spiritual. It probably provides enough information for one to write the religious side of their character, but it doesn't inspire them to do so. For religions and mystic entities from vastly different roots in a fantasy setting encompassing multiple realities, I would prefer something -- maybe not everything -- but at least a few things that's vague, unusual, unconventional and actually esoteric.
I thought the plan was fixing all the Bahamut accidental references in Apsu...
He still grants platinum scales for his avatar form, has a platinum dragon as his symbol, and his group of non-dragon followers are the Platinum Band... Dragon daddy is green!
More popular as an Alternate Doman:
Toil (12 v 20)
Metal (10 v 12)
Dust (7 v 8)
Introspection (7 v 17)
Abomination (4 v 5)
The two that really stand out there are Toil and Introspection. Much more popular to give to gods as secondary activities
Soul (12 v12) and Naga (2 v 2) are equally popular as Domains and Alternate Domains
Reading through my copy now I just noticed that the word "tiefling" was used (I assume accidentally) on page 173. I hope it doesn't cause any copyright trouble!
Also on page 197 it says "Reymenda also teaches that although endings are
conclusive, they CAN'T lead to new beginnings" (emphasis mine) Judging from context, I think that's supposed to be "can".
One concern about the book's art now that I have it in my hands (if you all even check this forum anymore.) The art for Teki Stronggut is a distinctly non-Paizo goblin.
Hopefully you all aren't changing art direction with your goblins and this was just a freelancer issue!
Reading about Varg and Wulgren, I'm wondering if the art labelled as Varg on page 221 is meant to be Wulgren? Since Wulgren is the more guns of the two, favoured weapon being barricade buster and so on.

The "weapon" looks less like a wielded gun, and more like him transporting a siege cannon. At least to me.
Specifically interested in Reymenda. Are there any updates beyond what was in P1e Chronicle of the Righteous and P1e Inner Sea Gods? Examples might include official art for the holy symbol or art for the Empyreal Lord or their followers? Written Exposition or the like?

Reymenda has a blurb that explains herself, her expectations for her followers, and their general behavior. It's about 3 paragraphs long. In the supplemental table for the book, her holy symbol and other things are given, but we don't have art of her or that. I don't exactly remember what was said about her in 1e stuff, so I can't really say if anything has changed, but most of the empyreal lords didn't get art in the book bc they were in like a section together rather than having individual pages like some of the other gods do.
I was checking for any updates to the Pyschopomp Ushers only to notice that two of them appear to missing from the glossary; Imot is not listed despite being mentioned as a patron god for The Spinner of Threads & Narakaas is absent from the book entirely. Is there something to this, am I missing soemthing or has Yivali been somehow tricked into omitting them? (He'd never make a mistake with the gods of his own realm surely?!)

They are both in the Web Supplement that was released containing a bunch of extra deities that had to be omitted from the book because of space constraint.
For the pdf, in the bookmarks: Palatine Detective, Razmiran Priest, Rivethun, and Witch Patrons are all currently sub-headings of Oracle Mysteries, which I’m fairly sure is unintended!

Weird question, but does anyone have any idea why Hanspur's dire rat companion had its name changed from Ashkaelae in 1e to Theobald in this book in 2e?
