Azlanti and Wyrwood questions


Advice


Ok, so I don't know if this is cannon or not.

But I'm making a backup PC for an Emerald Spire campaign. It will probably be a Wyrwood arcanist. I seem to remember discussions that:
1) The Azlanti created the Wyrwood race (maybe accidentially).
2) The Wyrwood use Ioun Stones to procreate. Do different types of stones have any effect on the new Wyrwood?
3) Most/all of the old Azlanti deities were destroyed trying (and failing) to stop Earthfall. Are any of them (even minor deities) left?

Is the above correct? Any additional info on the subject?

Is there any info on Wyrwood society, habits, personalities, etc... other than what is in the Bestiary entry?

If there isn't, I will make something up. If there is, I would like to be consistent with what is already written.


Below is a link to the Wyrwood pathfinder wiki. Unfortunately there isn’t much information there. The good news is you (and the GM) can have it be however you want.

Hmm... I found out from a friend that the Ruins of Azlant says they use ioun stones to procreate. The rebelled against the Azlanti but the Azlanti were the masters and inventors of ioun stones. So I can see a Wyrwood being obsessed with learning all he can about Azlanti lore. Both to prevent them coming back and to become better at making ioun stones.

Since they rebelled against the Azlanti, I suppose they wouldn't worship one of the old Azlant deities. But maybe it wouldn't worship and be an agnostic. Hmm... Decisions... decisions...


Shelyn was around pre-Earthfall with very slightly different stats. There's a quote I read somewhere (not Golarion material) which said that if a god wasn't around to help create the world, it can't be much of a god... I think more PF gods have been around forever in Golarion than not.

Well that's a hell of a spoiler.

Thanks

Oops. Sorry man. I'm usually pretty good about putting spoiler tags, but I completely forgot this time.

For what little it's worth, it didn't seem to have much actual effect on the campaign other than a single skill roll.

Abadar, Desna, Gozreh, Pharasma, and Shelyn are still alive, since you're asking in the 1E subforum. Groteus and Achaekek are still... whatever they are. Curchanus apparently was worshipped by the Azlanti, and his death was unrelated to Earthfall as far as I am aware.

Looking at it, it seems Erastil's wife Jaidi was worshipped by the Azlanti and she's still worshipped a tiny bit here and there on Golarion.

IIRC there were really only two big ones that died during Earthfall, their god of Magic, Amaznen, and their Moon/Battle goddess, Acavna.

Lissala also was worshipped by the Azlanti at one time, but she was only a demigoddess before Thassilon.

Elion is one who survived Earthfall but isn't worshipped on Golarion anymore, having actively lost interest in it after that.
