What would be the best Golarion equivalents for the ‘Tears in Rain’ speech from Bladerunner?


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


I.e. “I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate...“

Looking to adapt this soliloquy, using suitable Golarion references. Any suggestions?

I've heard the pounding war drums of Belkzen ring off the Lastwall,

I have seen men turn to wild dogs over a drop of liquid immortality,

I've felt the Eye of Abendego shear mainsail from mast while Besmara promised me her last, sweet kiss.


What exactly is the context you are going to use it in? That would help.

Ah, good point. For me personally, I was trying to have a dialogue bit that could demonstrate my character’s having traveled across Golarion. (Starting in the Darklands and then into Qadira before coming over to southern Nirmathas and the Fangwood Forest)

She’s a disguised Drow and the other PC she is wanting to talk to is a Forlorn who hasn’t ever left the village of Phaedar.

For anyone else, I thought it a cool rift for an experienced Pahfinder to say- share some points about the setting even if only a evocative mention.

Does that help?

Maybe not precisely what you're looking for but check this adventurer's quote that from the Osirion section in People of the Sands:

"I have seen sand dunes stripped away by creatures of flame and wind to reveal treasure vaults that would shame dynasties. I have walked the boulevards of a palace built beneath the carcass of a god’s dead child. I have been entertained by masked priestesses, soldiers returned from the dead, once-powerful men sold into slavery, and treasure hunters who crawl across the desert like hungry ants. I have seen Osirion, land of the god-kings, and I cannot wait to return."

"I have seen a river empty into the dark depths of the sky, a sky of stone, in which no sun hangs. I have seen life thrive in a land where rain has never fallen, and even the greatest stones have been ground to powder. There is nothing here to frighten me."
