Sorcerous Bloodlines, Pathfinder RPG, and Varisia

[Evil Midnight Lurker]

As the title suggests: do Varisian sorcerers tend toward any particular bloodline(s) from the book or are they all over the map?

Given their attitude toward art and prettiness I'd say most Varisia sorcerers would have roots with Arcane or Destined bloodlines.

I don't have the PF RPG handy right now, so I can't recall the total list of bloodlines available... BUT! The majority of Varisian sorcerers get their powers from two major sources.

1) From their own mystic traditions with things like the Harrow, the stars, dreams, Desna, and from visiting places of natural power.

2) From Thassilon, where the runelords did many strange and unknowable experiments on Varisian slaves. Those who lived would certainly carry a Thassilonian influence in some matter in their blood.

What? How? I think it should be mendatory for you guys to carry a flash drive with all the stuff at all times. It's like a lawyer saying: "I don't have my law code handy right now. :P

1) Sounds like Destined, though I guess Celestial, Arcane, or even Fey could work, too

2) Arcane first and foremost, and maybe Aberrant and Elemental. But in the end, who knows what they did to people back then? Could be anything.
