Red Mantis
I am trying to get more info about the Red Mantis faction. I have both the Faction Guide and the Campaign Setting, but what other products mention the Red Mantis in detail?

I am created a Red Mantis Guard (Fighter Archetype) in response to a post and I have had a player using it and now the rest of the group wants more Red Mantis related info and story.

Norgorber
I have been playing around with the new madness rules (they need expanded) and have designed a couple sessions/archetypes around Norgorber's various factions such as the Gray Mantle and Father Skinsaw. Where can I find more about him?

EDIT: I wouldn't mind more faction oriented content. Maybe a book with 3-4 factions that are covered more in depth. Like archetypes, prestige classes (shudder, don't like them personally, but players do), main locations, magic items, traits, and etc.

There is some more information about the Red Mantis in the Ilizmagorti section of Cities of Golarion (though it's more contextual than actually about the organization) but your best bet is probably the Red Mantis article in Pathfinder AP #9: Escape from Old Korvosa.

As for Norgorber, he hasn't had a full writeup in the Adventure Paths yet like most of the other core 20 deities of the Inner Sea, so the most thorough information on him is in Gods & Magic.

Thanks, I guess I need the wife to scan the relevant section of Gods and Magic for me. And I need to buy AP# 9. I thought I had, but I guess I never got the Crimson Throne AP...


There are some interesting little bits in Halflings of Golarion on Norgorber :), but only little bits :) about how the halflings deal with his different aspects, poisoner, thief, murderer, and what he goes by in each guise :) And his Halfling God aprentice that works for him...

Ugh, little people jokes... But thanks for the info. Thankfully i have Halflings of Golarion in my DLs. I just read the relevant sections and I going to be delighted to toss some little people at the group.

Another thought: Does Mark get a % of every sale when he directs people on the forums to products that meet their needs? I have bought 6 products so far because of him.
