So, I'm working on adding appropriate map icons for locations on the map of Kyonin. For the Wandering Spheres - the broken remains of a once massive stellar orrery - I want to use the spaceship icon. Why? Here's the top of discussion.
Because apparently, the spheres/celestial bodies of the broken orrery don't seem to depict even the same solar system Golarion's in. This is from a Memory of Darkness.
This actually infers that Castrovel the planet wasn't the home planet of the Elves or that at the very least they had access to other solar systems/Crystal Spheres.
Spelljammer, anyone?
In the Divinity Drive GM Reference thread, James Jacobs pointed out that they've never actually said Castrovel was the elves' homeworld. He also said that elves in fact inhabit other planets besides Golarion and Castrovel, notably the planet that was once known as Androffa, the world from which the spacecraft Divinity came from. Even more, they arrived to Androffa as aliens, the same as Golarion. Of course, these last bits aren't in any published materials, but it's still a nice tid bit. I would include a link to the post, but I can't seem to get it to work on mobile. Sorry!
I just dug out my Fires of Creation books and.. Wow! I knew that intra-stellar travel was an established part of Golarion-system's canon, but not INTER. With this and James's reply, it seems like the Elves truly are space-farers.
... Anyone ever try to convert Spelljammer rules to PF mechanics? Heh.
If an elf asks if you want to see her splorchborgch, don't.

There are several threads in the Conversion sub-forum on this topic.
Given the elves' creation/use of aiudara, however, they are probably closer in concept to Stargate than Spelljammer.
