Has anybody thought about the place / role / origin of the dark folk on golarion? I would love to let them appear in my CotCT campagne, so under Korvosa.
My first thought was to link them to Cheliax. Perhaps are the dark stalkers descendend from a human noble family and the dark creepers were their very good treated halfling servants, before they were driven into the Darklands by the devil worshippers after Aroden's death.

Not Golarion per se but you might find Frog God Games Cyclopean Deeps 3+4 of interest if you're into Dark Folk.

YES.
I've had a Dark Stalker expy of the merchant from Resident Evil 4 serving as the "face" NPC for Kaer Maga for our local groups for a while. Eager to see where these guys are coming from. AND why they are so explodey. :)

Yes. I put a bunch of them in a home-brew adventure I attempted a few years ago, though I gave them all cockney accents, with something more subtle for their Dark Stalker boss.
...Unfortunately, since the last session of it was while everyone was still just level 3 and everyone knew it, I figured the best way to end it was with everyone getting taken out in the boss’ death explosion, their goal achieved.

The Dark Folk being (mostly) non-evil makes them far more useful, narratively, than the Drow, in my experience. They can make unreliable allies-of-convenience, for instance, without being *guaranteed* to be treacherous. It's less of a stretch to use them in a much wider variety of roles than just 'dudes we stab for GPs and XPs.'

Pardon me gentle-beings. Please note that the link that Lilith posted several years ago has become out of date in the mean time. The current PathfinderWiki has a much more up-to-date article on Dark folk.

To start, Bestiary 4. But there's something else coming down the road that I expect will have some more Golarion-centric details. For now: patience. ;)

So any news on when/if we'll be seeing details on the dark folk?
Good news!
Also....maybe a possible dark stalker love interest?
seems like it could be an explosive relationship
