For my PC in serpent skull I'm looking for a bit of additional background.
What deities, organizations, countries, ... hold a grudge, have always been fighting, ... against snakes, serpents and the like?
I'd prefer something not related to the serpent skull AP and no spoilers please.
Two deities of snakes and snake-people are Nalinivati and Ydersius.
If you can find other deities that have bad relations with either of them, you might be able to find a nation or people that worship the god/goddess who hates snakes.
Some good options already, many thanks.
Still open to more ideas.
The eldest of the good gods would have had priests in the time of ancient Azlant and supported their followers in the war against the serpentfolk who were humanity's nemesis at the time.
That said, I'm not sure which of the current gods were worshiped by the Azlanti. Shelyn and some of the empyreal lords, perhaps. Most of the others seem to be newer gods or closely associated with other continents (e.g. Desna the Varisian goddess, Torag the dwarf god, Sarenrae the Kalishite goddess).
That would be mainly Adabar, Shelyn and Desna afaik.
From their interests/domains they don't seem to be too involved in the snake topic any more unfortunately.
?Would there be anything liking them to fighting snakes?
I'm also looking further into the suggestion of garudas. There are the garuda blooded aasimars and Janasini mother of all birds. I only found minimal info on her but in that snippet she was crossed by the nagas.
The snake eagle also fit's this line of thought.
?Any suggestions along that line of thought?
not sure if this is part of Golarion lore, but in real world Native American mythology, Lakota specifically I believe, but I'm probably wrong, the Thunderbirds waged an epic war against giant snakes in the early days of existence.
I like the whole thunderbird/garuda thing.
Are there any more ties to Golarion?
That empyreal lord of honesty who hates Geryon might be an option.
