One of my players is considering a fetchling character in my upcoming campaign, which I plan to set somewhere in the southeastern Five King Mountains Andoran/Galt/Taldor border regions. I was trying to figure out how fetchlings might fit in there and notice that Lost Omens: Ancestry Guide has a few paragraphs on the Rikmirit fetchlings in that exact area that apparently were drawn there from the Shadow Plane by an ancient “Surgeon’s Spire”…but there’s not much beyond that at all. It seems like the kind of detail that is bound to be based on something, but I can not find any others reference to these Rikmirit fetchlings in any other sources or on the wiki.
Does this ring a bell with any who might where I can dig in any deeper on this lore?

Nothing directly but Fetchling and Surgeon's spire made me think of Dou Bral's Star Towers and there is one in the area :
"The Vale of Shadows is a dangerous valley located in the Five Kings Mountains, in which one of Zon-Kuthon's Star Towers is located. Here the planar fabric between the Netherworld and Golarion is weak, and the Vale all but appears to be within the Netherworld itself, and creatures and monsters from that plane live within.
The elves of Elistia forbid entrance to the Vale of Shadows, believing nothing good comes from it and knowing who venture inside return alive." (Source : Pathfinderwiki)
This information comes from the Pathfinder Tale "Plague of Shadows".
The Netherworld is the new ORC name for the OGL Shadow Plane.
Maybe there is a link with the Rikmirit.
Nice work, Raven Black, sounds like a very solid lead, thanks!
Anyone here read Plague of Shadows and have anything to add (or know if it’s worth a read)?
