I'm getting ready to start a game based in Osirion around -3000ar. According to the timeline in the Inner Sea World Guide these are the gods that would be alive during that time frame.
Abadar, Asmodeus, Calistria, Desna, Erastil, Gorum, Gozreh, Lamashtu, Nethys, Pharasma, Rovagug, Sarenrae, Shelyn, Torag, Urgathoa and Zon-Kuthon
First, can anyone who's more familiar with the lore confirm that this is correct?
Second, this time frame would fall in the bronze age, but Abadar, Gorum, and Shelyn have favored weapons that do not exist in the bronze age. Light crossbows won't be invented for a few thousand years, and great swords and glaives are too big to be made out of bronze.
Now the glaive can be easily replaced with the rhomphaia, which is a fairly close counterpart. But not I'm not sure what to replace the light crossbow or great sword with.
Any suggestions?
Im not sure they have ever really addressed the stone-age bronze age iron age thing other than the alternate rules for them. But Given Golarions Civilization is alot older than Rl earths you cant really assign earth timelines.
As it is alot of items used in the game didnt exist at the same time so youc an likely just ignore the favored weapon conflicts.
That said i think your list of gods is correct.
Yeah I know you can't follow the time lines exactly. But with Osirion being obviously based on Egypt you can make a pretty good guess at their comparative place on earth's timeline.
