I have a Paladin of Irori with the Chosen One archetype. The archetype grants the True Form ability at level 7 which lets you select an Outsider familiar that matches your deity's alignment, going on to state that it's "typically an arbiter, a cassissian, a harbinger, or a silvanshee, but potentially any lawful neutral, lawful good, or neutral good outsider familiar depending on the patron."
Since Irori is Lawful Neutral, it seems that would necessitate an arbiter familiar. But according to page 91 of Inner Sea Gods, Irori dislikes Inevitables (and Formians, for that matter), to the point of not allowing them to enter his divine realm. So it wouldn't make sense that he would grant a familiar of that race.
My question is, are there any other Lawful Neutral outsiders that would qualify? I don't normally look at 3rd party material but would be willing to do so in this case just because the amount of Lawful Neutral Outsiders seems quite thin compared to Outsiders of other alignments in Paizo material. Or do I just have to suck it up and come up with a reason why this one low-ranking Inevitable in particular would not only get into Irori's good graces, but be trusted with tutoring one of the god's champions as well?

I can help with the part you didn't ask for help with!
This formerly powerful Inevitable went into Irori's realm for some reason and was caught. Irori stripped it of most of its power, taught it his doctrine, and sent it to the Material Plane to serve Chosen Ones as penance until one gets to sufficiently high level before dying. This is, say, the seventh. "I've got a good feeling about this one!"
If Irori has paladins, Irori can have LG outsider servants IMO. If you really want something LN then a shikigami kami could work though.

I agree with you that he could have LG servants. The wording of the ability just makes it sound like it has to match the god's alignment. If the GM doesn't let that slide, though, the Shikigami could work well. I tend to forget about the Kami altogether so thanks!

That's pretty good! Makes me picture Irori's herald, the Old Man, riding up to Irori on his tortoise with a cart full of broken robot parts behind him. "Electromagnetic fence got another one," the Old Man says. Irori sighs and takes out his screwdriver.
