Possible Adventure Path Seed?


Pathfinder Adventure Path General Discussion


Hi Pathfinder Paizo people. I just had a discussion with a friend of mine after I wrote http://www.thepathfinderchronicles.com/2014/06/intelligent-items.html that blog.

He was really excited about the idea that a dead God may once have invested his power into an intelligent item and that perhaps that "dead god" could be reinstated or destroyed utterly with the item. He asked me if I was using Sauron's Ring as inspiration and I said partly but I had also been thinking about the dead God Aroden and wondering if he was ever going to make a return.

He said that I should pitch it as an AP. I said no because you probably get that all the time. On reflection I thought why not. So there you go. It is an AP I would like to see made and it would fit well with a Mythic style campaign in my view.

Thanks for reading. By the way if you are not a Paizo person but you like the idea too, add a comment giving it some support :)


If i recall correctly, Paizo has stated that Aroden will not be making a return. (other posters are welcome to correct me.) That said, your premise is similar in part to Serpent Skull's AP, and

Ydersius's Resurrection

As well as Curse of the Crimson Throne with

The Crown of Fangs returning Kazavon to life.


Yeah, Paizo has said pretty firmly that Aroden is dead and judged by Pharasma already, and thus will not be returning. They also said they're not going to reveal exactly what happened to him ever, and only a handful of people working there even know.


Also nearly the exact same scenario you thought up plays out in a pathfinder tale is

the name of said pathfinder tale:
Liar's Blade
and it really is a great pathfinder tale.
another one about that particular pathfinder tale:
Also in that pathfinder tale it is explained why such a thing couldn't be possible for Aroden, the reason is that Aroden's herald was another deity (Iomidae), if such an item did exist why didn't Iomidae almost immediatly used it to bring him back to life (while asking Pharasma to not wait a bit before she passed judgment on Aroden) or at least why didn't she direct her church to said item.
