Wes and James,
Spinning off of the 'dead gods' thread, James makes a compelling argument about why a dead gods article might be cool, but schedules and product plans just don't line up for it to happen soon.
But last night at the Paizo chat, James intimated that KingMaker might allow for a glimpse into the First World.
Granted, the Gnomes of Golarion is going to touch on this subject, but it seems like a bulk of that book is going to concern itself with the Gnomes themselves, rather where they came from.
Granted Realm of the Fellnight Queen might also touch on the subject, but it's been my experience that our 32 page modules do have to concern themselves with serving the adventure first, background second.
Now the River Kingdoms has the Sevenarches, controlled by the Oakstewards.. where the walls seperating Golarion and the First World are thin.
Great time and place for a good look at the First World, and the Fey themselves.
I'm hoping such an article would deal with the truly wondrous and terrible aspect of the Fey (as opposed to gnomish or elven analogs).
Rumor Control says that Richard Pett is itching for some KingMaker action. It's not up to me to say whether he suited to KingMaker or not (that's your business), but he might be well suited to an article on the Fey.
Recall the vivid and terrifying bit he wrote in Pathfinder #2.
The second book is an old and beautifully filigreed tome containing numerous handdrawn illustrations and titled The Syrpents Tane: Fairy Tales of the Eldest. The book presents tales of the Tane—goliaths of war and madness dreamt and stitched into being by the Eldest, the most feared of a group of notorious fey known as the Twisted. The Tane are said to be terrible to behold, and the stories speak of them stumbling into mortal lands, where they ravage kingdoms by creating firestorms, crushing keeps with their feet, and eating dragons. Specific Tane described include monstrous creatures like the Jabberwok (a thing of thorns and fire and crushing fury the size of a castle), the Thrasfyr (also known as the Dreaming Hill of the Dark, a barbed thing of iron and hooks and blades that the book claims took part in the Three-Thousand-Year War of the Eldest), and the Sard (the Storm of Insanities, a thing of boughs and briars and misery, an ancient Wychwood Elm given life and hate by the Eldest, a mad creature apt to pull a roc in two or fell a castle at a blow). This fine and rare tome is worth...
You just don't get better than that. That rocked. Very cool.
If we can't get Dead Gods, then some First World might just do the trick.

I not only agree whole heartedly w/ this, I would love a PF Companion dedicated to them as well.

You might have something there.
Since I came in this morning to find myself bombarded with queries and personal questions I decided to respond to them all right here.
