Inner Sea Combat, you forgot someone

[Major_Blackhart]

You mentioned a bunch of characters in Inner Sea Combat. You included Grask Uldeth, which made the Orc in me very happy. You mentioned various gods which represent various types of combat and guilds. But while you mentioned mercenary companies and such, you forgot probably THE god of soldiers and mercenaries, GORUM! How could you paizo? How could you casually ignore the guy that makes other gods take pause and say 'If I do this, will Gorum punch me in the face?' and they realize if they have to ask at all then they probably shouldn't do it.

If I had to guess, they're only including gods that were once mortal, from the Inner Sea Region.

None of the other Gods ever ask 'If I do this, will Gorum punch me in the face'. Gorum is about as difficult to predict as tripping on a banana peel.

Seriously, it's like asking if gravity will cause you to fall...

Yeah, Gods only get mentioned in that section if they were once Mortal. Gorum never was.

I always thought he only appeared in Golarion when Orcs and Humans first clashed, implying he was the first half-orc. However, I read in Inner Sea Gods only recently that he helped forge Rovagug's prison.

Edit: Did anyone else enjoy the picture of Kevoth Kul?

But he was never a mortal Half Orc. Just like Calistria is an Elven Goddess...but was never a mortal Elf. Or several other examples.

That bit's apparently in error, according to James Jacobs, who knows. But it's beside the point, too...either way he was never mortal.

Sure. Though I actually enjoye the canonical levels of several Pathfinder Tales characters a bit more.

I'm pretty sure when Sarenrae went head to head vs Rovagug while deities were dying left and right and all of creation/Golarion was at stake, she didn't wonder if Gorum would approve or not. Mostly because he most likely didn't exist yet. And also because she'd have most likely said, "Shut up and sit down, fool, as I'll handle this."
