Hi, all! I've been working on this passion project of mine for a good long while, and I'm excited to finally share it with the community at large! Here is the link to my dissertation on the shortcomings of every mortal ascended to deification in the Lost Omens setting, and why Baphomet is better.
There was, however, one silver lining in Book 3. The antipaladins of Baphomet in Xanthir Vang's center of operations were taken alive, and I decided to have one of them be more than a hulking brute. He was well-read and fond of elucidating, which surprised my PCs. He offered to spill some beans on the operations of the Templars, on the condition that he was allowed to pen a short opinion piece on Baphomet's superiority to Iomedae that was to be circulated to the public.
A few days passed ingame, and I composed what I consider to be my first piece of original RPG writing; A Misguided Inheritance. Naturally, they executed him on the spot and left it to languish, but I got to thinking after that fateful encounter. What if he got away? What if, against all odds, he became a deceitful scholar, interested in the worship of mortal deities across the Inner Sea Region? Of course, this interest was only so he could pick apart their teachings, prove their hypocrisy, and extol the superiority of the Horned Lord, but hey! Still a scholar.
I've been working on this endeavor for a while in between paying gigs, and I'm excited to share it with the internet at large. Thanks for glancing, and I hope you enjoy!
