I would like to start this thread for talk about which characters from Earth (historical or mythical), had visit Golarion or had an impact on said world. Or in case, which characters from Golarion has visited Earth and had done something decisive for the history of Earth.

Is it really bad that I read this thread title & the first place my mind went was the STtNG episode where Picard has first contact with a species that only speaks in metaphor?..
Tolkien and Lewis at Irrisen, when the Adventurer came.
Oh my goodness, this is a hilarious idea!

No. Darmok can be appropriately associated with any topic under the sun.
I am sorry, couldn't resist to do a reference to that TNG episode when I pictured in my mind the adventures of a young J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis in Irrisen (and other Inner Sea kingdoms), both having communication problems for make themselves understand by the locals.

Dude, seriously? No apologies necessary, that was genuinely Awesome!
Now I just need to figure out how to use this idea with my Diplomacy/Linguistics focused PC's...

If you ask me why Tolkien and Lewis are in Irrisen, lets say the main reason was a brijidine azata (which was disguised as a nurse during WW1, attending combatants from both sides). Said brijidine got order from Desna to "kidnap" both Tolkien and Lewis and bring them to Golarion. Desna found these two depressed ex-combatants had a strong link to dreams and even some deities of the elven and dwarf pantheon asked her to take a look over them for that same "special aura". Sadly, during in transit trough the First World, the brijidine take a wrong turn and she and both Tolkie and Lewis found themselves in the Thrice-Tenth Kingdom, calling the attention of a recently released Baba Yaga.
The Queen of Witches dispatched the azata and then invited both men to be her guests. Baba Yaga just wanted to see which reasons made Desna and other deities get suddenly interested into humans from Earth, but after failing to see any trace of mythic essence of supernatural skills on both Englishmen, she leave them stranded in Irrisen. However, The Queen of Witches enjoyed a lot the storytelling of Tolkien and Lewis as well as their interest towards magic and everything they called "fantastic", so she didn't leave them without some supplies and gear.
