the day that changed the pathfinder universe. when was it?


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


So, Aroden's death was a big deal, or rather, the day he died was pretty important. Storms started in multiplr planets, the celestial host had a conference, and wounds opened up in the material plane, among other things. We know a lot about what happened on that day, but one thing that bugs me is that there doesn't seem to be an actual date for it.

When in 4606 did aroden die? Or rather, when was he supposed to show up that people notice he was gone? You would think that would be common knowledge, right?

Don't believe the lies!!! He's still lives!!!

One of those eeeeeeevil deities has him chained up! I know he/she/it does!!!


I'm not sure what the actal date is, but I believe that outside of Golarion, Aroden's death had little to no impact. The gods of humans on Golarion shouldn't affect humans on Earth or Androffa. I doubt it even affected Akiton or Castrovel.

I think the star fall doctrine only stated the year in which he would come back. The question is did the clerics loose spells, eye open up and world wound open up all on the same day.. Or was it over time? We don't really know.

Silver Crusade

I could have sworn it was all on the same day, but I don't remember where I read that.

Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of vague terminology: "around that time" or "after his death"

This might be a great question for one of the "Ask So-and-So Anything" threads. It wouldn't be official, but we might learn something.

It was the day that WOTC announced that 3.5 was dead.

It didn't. In the relative scheme of things, Aroden is pretty unimportant. Honestly the most important thing about Aroden at all is that his death possibly screwed up Rovagug's prison with the Worldwound on Golarion. But beyond that, Golarion itself is only a single planet in the infinite material plane, and unlike many gods, Aroden was only important on that planet. Hell, he was only important on one or two continents even.

Honestly, on principle alone, I think Aroden was more significant than people often wish to admit. There's a reason they refuse to ever shed light on the mystery surrounding his "death." I can't believe they'd desire to keep it such a mystery if his fall meant nothing.

The day the music died.

Long, long time ago. I can still remember...

I agree that Aroden was incredibly significant, but he was only significant to Golarion. Why should the god of human culture and progress on Golarion have power anywhere else?

I'd imagine that would depend entirely on how repeatable whatever killed him is. After all, if he died by some force that any random mortal could use, they'd totally want to keep that hushed.

Actually it was exactly 3 thousand years before the Eye of Abendago.
