Inner Sea Gods: Spawn of Rovagug


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


On page 275 under regeneration it states, "It can be banished or otherwise transported as a means to save a region, but a method to kill Spawn of Rovagug has yet to be discovered."

Does this mean that Ulunat (the Black Dome) in Sothis isn't really dead and could come back to completely devastate Osirion?

Also, if Ulunat is truly dead, the one wiki says Nethys killed him before he became a god, while another states the first pharaoh Azghaad killed him. Which is it?

They hibernate i believe, but keep in mind, that is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die.

Ordinary beetles can shed their shells, molting without dying.

The Nethys reference is here and it says it's in Osirion, Land of Pharaohs and The Final Wish.

The Azghaad reference is here and is says it's in Lost Kingdoms and The Inner Sea World Guide.

My speculation would be that no, Ulunat is dead...but nobody knows how they did it. Making the method still undiscovered the way a tomb can be undiscovered. Someone knew it once, but not so much any more.

No idea.

Better: Treat as conflicting myths. Nobody actually knows. Maybe Nethys WAS Azghaad. Or maybe Azghaad was Nethys. Or maybe Ulunat is Azghaad AND Nethys, and defeated himself.

What a tweest!


PF has dome several myths that 'conflict' intentionally on a variety of topics. I don't know about this one, but it could perhaps be so.

Didn't Nethys advise the Pharohs?

It could be like saying 'Lincoln defeated the confederacy' and 'Grant defeated the confederacy'. Both are true, but have different meanings.

There is more info coming soon about Ulunat... never fear!


Nethys is really Nyarlathotep wearing a Harvey Dent mask!

(Dept. of Expectations Management Unlicensed Auxiliary: The above is EML's personal deranged opinion and not actually supported by anything in canon.)


I would have thought that Nethys killed Ulunat, and whatever method he used to kill it (such as perhaps channeling his power through a mortal, or the way he channeled it) is something he's keeping to himself.

Maybe he was mythic and used the power of Ulunat to ascend to godhood, hence his dual nature with destruction and salvation.
