Who killed Aroden? That is what it all boils down to, my friends. All the PF adventure paths, the Inner Sea Guide, all we learn about Golarian. After countless quests the main mystery to be solved is Adroden's abrupt and mysterious death. It had to have been murder...
But who did it? And where? And with what weapon?
Was it Shelyn with Asmodeus' Mace in Elysium?
Was it Calistra with Zon-Kuthon's spiked chain in Abandon?
Or was it Nethys with Lamashtu's kukris in the Firmament?
Perhaps only a party of high level PC's who can pass the test of the Starstone together can effectively investigate this case.
Pathfinder = Clue

One of these days Paizo will write an AP where the players go back in time and become involved in the events that led up to the death of Aroden. It will be awesome.
James Jacobs will announce it while standing atop a flaming pile of wreckage and laughing maniacly.

I guess I just sort of figured Aroden didn't die. Aroden...Aaron... Elvis Aaron Presley... it makes sense. I picture Aroden, out there somewhere with a sequin jumpsuit, sideburns and a bucket of fried chicken singing Blue Suede Shoes to another plane of existence.

It was James Jacobs, in the Library, with a pen.
So the Pathfinder Society is secretly run by Iomedae... who is in league with the demons of the worldwound...
O.O

"Groetus hangs in the form of a bloated moon above Pharasma's Boneyard in the Outer Sphere, silently watching. Only the other gods know whether the moon itself is the god, or merely his dwelling place, and they have proven reluctant to discuss the matter. Adventurous folk who have braved the surface of this place are either never heard from again, or are discovered soon after as the newest of the god's insane faithful.[3] It is unknown what role Groetus will play in the End Times."
Hypothesis: Groetus = Second Coming of Aroden.

My hypothesis: no one did it. One day, when people least expect it, Asmodeus will pull off a mask and reveal that he was Aroden the entire time.
Also that he's your PC's father. Even if you're not human.

I'm not sure if this is in jest or not. Hasn't Groetus been around since roughly the same time as all of the original gods of Golarion?
Aroden became a god with starstone, so it seems doubtful Groetus could be Aroden's reincarnation or second coming.
If this was in jest, then I'm sorry I've ruined it.

My first suspect is whichever character was being played by Tim Curry.
You mean Asmodeus?

Aroden did not die. Instead, he traveled into the past (or maybe was forced into past by accident) and become Groetus. Somewhere in "mean time" (i.e. after stopping being Aroden but before emerging in the past as Groetus) he stole the Eox moon (which was weaponized by Eoxians) and infused it with divine power and now it acts as his seat of power/throne room/tomb. It might have played a vital role in chaining of Rovagug at one time.
EDIT: Or the moon wasn't Eoxian... It could be the moon of one of the Twins - Damiar or Iovo - planets that were destroyed and turned into Diaspora. Maybe he caused the catastrophe that destroyed Twins or maybe he saved the moon from the catastrophe?

Oh man. Now I *really* want Pathfinder Clue.
Wait I thought we all knew this?
Hasbro owns clue. Hasbro owns D&D. Pathfinder is refined and expanded D&D just like D&D refined and expanded clue.

Aroden is forced back in time. This causes planets to explode. This sets the Starstone on a collision course with Golarion. This causes Aroden to become a god.
Oh, and he just appeared to me in a duster and some 80's velcro high tops and told me if I want to live I have to come with him. Dam time paradoxes...
