There's no evidence of that...
I might have started this whole thing with Pathfinder #6. At the time I was quite taken with similar hidden credits page messages that Privateer Press had slipped into the Witchfire Trilogy. Having one in every Pathfinder volume seemed like too much of a chore, but having a special "post credits" message at the end of the whole AP felt very cinematic.
I didn't expect it to become tradition, but I'm glad it did. :)

That is the warning the newspaper guy broadcasts at the end of the 1950's version of The Thing.
Iron Gods: Keep watching the skies.
Used for a second time?
Well, there's no denying that there are dangerous things beyond the skies. Here be (void) dragons and worse ...

I will vote Paradise Lost for Hell's Rebels... or maybe one of the things Al Pacino yells in Devil's Advocate? :)
Oh his monologue is the best in that movie. :D

CotCT: "Thus always to tyrants." Famously said by John Wilkes Booth during his assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.
It actually goes back to Brutus's apocryphal statement to Caesar, and has been used extensively by revolutionaries ever since.

I really thought this had been updated for Hell's Rebels, no matter.
"Omniscient am I not, yet many things i know" - Faust, by Johan something von Goethe, (from Hell's Rebels)
"I was walking among the fires of hell, delighted with the enjoyments of genius, which to angels look like torment and insanity" - The Marriage Of Heaven and Hell, by William Blake. (From Hell's Vengeance)

Thank you. Even though I made by own Will save against that itchy Americentrism, I appreciate that you didn't :p

Ruins of Azlant: "Where is my mind? Way out in the water, see it swimming."
Do we have a source for the RoA one? It sounds like some form of modern poetry (not my strong suit).

Three Fold Conspiracy: "I’ve controlled you since before you knew I existed." - Cigarette Man, X-Files. This is a really good one.
Devastation Ark: "A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within." - Originally attributed to Will and/or Ariel Durant, but probably used here as a reference to the movie Apocalypto, which used it on the opening screen. The big bad here are the Spanish conquistadors arriving with tiny numbers and vastly superior technology.
Fly Free or Die: One of these, probably.

Tondro has said that James Cameron was a huge influence on this AP as well as something like Firefly. Excited to see what it is and I'll be looking out for it.
