Thassilonian Space Program?


General Discussion

Dark Archive

So I was just looking through Shattered Star recently when it occurred to me that we still have six more runelords to deal with. This got me thinking, is it possible that at least one of them went to space to escape Earthfall?

My bet is on Krune, personally, given his lack of sentimental attachments to Golarion as well as his specialty of Conjuration Magic. I could totally see him teleporting off to some other planet and living out eternity in the vacuum of space where nobody could disturb him.

Nonetheless, I think that some sort of Thassilonian society that fled to the stars and has been waiting around for some challenge would be a neat addition to this setting. Imagine having one guy who's still a top-of-the-line wizard in an era where magic has mostly been neglected. The premise is an adventure path just waiting to happen.


While its possible, a Golarion magic based spaceship already exists and Thassilonians would likely be able to do much better on their own, it seems to me that most magic users would default to pocket dimensions or different planes for get aways rather than space. oddly enough, traveling to an entirely different plane of existence is far easier to do than move to the moon in Pathfinder. Interplanetary Teleport is locked away at 9th level whereas other dimension hopping magics can be found at 5th level.

Krune has been accounted for already.

I'd recommend checking out Pathfinder Adventure Path #10: A History of Ashes for information on the Thrallkeepers, a sect of Thassilonian mages with a keen interest in the Dark Tapestry and its inhabitants.

There's like 10 lines about them specifically though. It was actually pretty annoying to run that section without knowing even mere basics like organization. Cool dungeon though.
