Any recommendations where to set a Blue Rose campaign in Golarion?
Reading the snippet about Blue Rose, what about tucking it into a corner of Druma? Taldor could equate to the Theocracy of Jarzon, the Lich Kingdom could be adapted to Ustalov and the Whispering Tyrant, and Isger and Cheliax would supply all the nasties from the Shadow Wars and Sorcerer Kings you could want :)

Nice. Thanks, Gamer Grrrl.
Blue Rose is a game of romantic fantasy and Golarion fits more in the sword and sorcery guidelines (with a handful of D&D high fantasy of course).
I think that both are too different genres to mix.

I think Golarion can easily support romantic fantasy. Or high fantasy. Or everything else.

Or Science Fantasy. Yes, Golarion can support that you want it support, but that don´t means that the cruelty and the tone of the world. But you can adjust it for almost anything. Of course that is only my opinion and I don't pretend to be rude (the english isn't my mother tongue and I haven't a lot of flexibility with it).

I think cruelty and romantic fantasy aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.
And nothing is really global, including the cruelty and violence.
I wouldn't want to play RF in Varisia, for example, since it's a wild frontier. But use some huge metropolis, and it would work out just fine.
The thing is that freedom of gaming style was one of the major design goals for Pathfinder Chronicles (and of course for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game). Unlike some other games, Pathfinder doesn't virtually force you to play with assumptions like "there's only a few small bulwarks of civilisation in a hostile, dark world" or "you have to portray the world with so much brutality that Clive Barker or G.R.R. Martin would throw up hearing about it" or even "you cannot use anything that would make a tender-footed five-year-old unconfortable".
