You know...the jewel-bladed sword Aroden created?
I can't find anything about its whereabouts.
Did he leave it in some Azlanti ruins on Golarion?
How about somewhere in his former divine realm in Axis?
Did he have it with him when he "died"? If so, I suspect we'll never see it again, unless Pharasma has it hidden somewhere in the Boneyard.
If it was a Ghost Touch weapon, I suppose the Echo of Lost Divinity might still have it.
Its recovery could be a significant Aroden-related event...or it might mean nothing more than a very nice find for some pig-sticker-wielding adventurer.
Any thoughts about where it is now?
The Dead God's Hand? Has it been published? I haven't even heard it. By the way, I have always thought that Aroden would have brought Azlanti Diamond to his celestial realm in Axis.

It has not. Surprisingly, this past year Mr Mona has been a wee bit busy with his Publisher duties to write much, if any, of the adventure. Stay tuned for further developments (hopefully).

It's in the Sanctum of Aroden, below Absalom, and is among the treasure to be found in my oft-delayed adventure "The Dead God's Hand."
I guess I'll be very much looking forward to when you get around to publishing "The Dead God's Hand," then.
Thanks!
::heads off to Google to dig up every little scrap of information on Aroden's Sanctum::

As far as I know the test is meant to be one of those things that hasn't got any set challenges and is very much made up for any specific person who takes it. The only commonality I know of is that it begins by figuring out a novel way to cross the chasm in order to take the test in the first place.
Watch the YouTube video I linked to in my last post.
You'll be glad you did.

Sorry for the necro, but "The Dead God's Hand" seems to be no closer to being published than it was a year ago.
I've been thinking a lot about Aroden, the Starstone Doctrine, and Westcrown lately (probably because my Saturday gaming group just finished the Hell's Vengeance AP a few weeks ago) and I decided to buy Book 6 Hell Comes to Westcrown to see all the cool backstory info Paizo is known for including that the players will probably never find out.
Anyway, after reading several entries, I get to a bunch of information about the Korradath which is the castle in Westcrown where Aroden was supposed to rule from when he was prophesied to return to Golarion in 4606.
According to Book 6, clerics of Aroden sealed off several of the lower levels of vaults below the Korradath in preparation of his coming back to rule Cheliax.
I'm guessing there were a bunch of things Aroden was going to need for his rule that were moved there from Absalom including some stuff from his Sanctum.
What kinds of things would the clerics of Aroden have moved there? They must be pretty important considering that those lower levels are not supposed to be unsealed by those clerics until after Aroden returned.
Could the Azlanti Diamond have been one of those artifacts that was moved there in anticipation that Aroden would need it to help him rule?
I know Erik Mona said the Azlanti Diamond was still in Aroden's Sanctum (above) and that it could be found there. But, frankly, if The Dead God's Hand never comes out, I don't think it unreasonable to change up the lore a bit and say the Azlanti Diamond is NOT in Aroden's Sanctium, but that it was moved to somewhere underneath the Korradath.
Could it be that the Azlanti Diamond was never moved, but that Aroden's Sanctum is actually a demi-plane with an entrance/exit below Absalom and a secret entrance/exit below the Korradath?
If the Azlanti Diamond is not below the Korradath, what do you think the clerics sealed away in those secret levels until Aroden's return?

It's still in the works, and while we haven't made any announcements yet, it IS closer to being published than it was a year ago. No official news about it yet, so folks will continue to need to be patient for a bit longer. In the meantime, feel free to homebrew alternate locations for the Azlanti Diamond.
But the office of expectations wants to let folks know we haven't given up publishing this adventure.

I just wish I knew more crunchy bits about the Azlanti Diamond so I actually could put it into a game and have its powers be at least somewhat close to what Paizo has in mind for it.

Thanks for letting us know.

We do have the Kortos Diamond, which was made as a replica of the Azlanti Diamond. It has crunch.

That's what I would do. You'll need to alter it a smidge if you're using Remaster rules, the Kortos Diamond is an axiomatic weapon, but it should be pretty ready to go as is, and it is still a level 22 artifact with suitably impressive abilities.We do have the Kortos Diamond, which was made as a replica of the Azlanti Diamond.

Impressive indeed. I expect The Azlanti Diamond would be a bit more powerful, though (+5 instead of +3, maybe).
Thank you Master Han Del of the Web and Perpdepog for directing my attention to the Kortos Diamond. I now have something to work from.

Ok, so back to my question from a few posts above...what kinds of things (remember, they've got to be important considering the seals the clerics of Aroden put in place) are in the as yet unexplored vaults below the Korradath in Westcrown?
If you feel motivated enough, tell me about any guardians that you think might be guarding those vaults beside the seals above?
