Ancient Golarion


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


We know that Azlant was the oldest human civilization in Golarion, and that Thassilon arose after Azlant in what is now Varisia, Cheliax, and presumably much of the rest of that area (pardon me, my recollection of the specifics is hazy...). What then is known about Tian Xia, Vudra, and the lands of the distant east? Were all of these ancient empires united by a common culture once, or have they been distinct almost from the beginning?

Being a lover of history, of course I'm interested in the history of the worlds I play D&D in. So as you can imagine, I'm very interested in Golarion's history. How much will we see on this in the Gazetteer and the Campaign Setting?

Azlant and Thassilon were contemporaries.

There will be a little bit of information Golarion's past in the hardcover and in future supplements. :)

I feel the same as well, nice seeing time and effort being put into the history of the Pathfinder realm.

Glad to hear it. :) I'll be looking forward to this one...

I'm also a history fan, and love when these kind of details are mixed into the background of Golarion. So I'm looking foward to see what the Gazeteer and later on, the PF Hardcover, will have in terms of details.
I kind of speculated on the relationship between Azlant and Thassilon in another thread concerning Aroden - but so far nothing more has come of it.
