Pathfinder Deities - The Orc Pantheon Podfinder 2025-09-05 | This week it's time for something new! I havent been able to cover any of the orc deities in my traditional video format yet, because not enough information existed on any of them to justify a whole video. But, having just looked at Triumph of the Tusk, I think it's finally time to bite the bullet and carve out a new video format. So, in this video I examine the orc pantheon as a whole, from its mysterious origins, to the rapidly evolving modern interpretation.0:00 Intro1:33 Rundown & Deific Origins9:53 The Old Gods30:39 The Crucible38:23 The Early Crucible Gods59:03 The War of Immortals1:02:56 The New Gods1:58:49 Sources & Additional Reading2:02:03 OutroDisclaimer: This video is not affiliated with Paizo in any way.

So You Want To Play... Triumph of the Tusk Podfinder 2025-08-08 | The time of the Orc has come! Today's video examines the Triumph of the Tusk adventure path from last year. This is another one of the ancestry-themed APs which Paizo has been producing lately, like Sky King's Tomb and Spore War.

Pathfinder Deities - Brigh Podfinder 2025-03-21 | This week I'm back to covering the deities of Pathfinder with a look at Brigh, the goddess of invention and innovation. As a deity with an extremely narrow focus, Brigh is only worshiped by a small number of followers on Golarion. That said, she is most popular in places like Alkenstar, Absalom, and Numeria, places which are great for adventures and campaigns.0:00 Intro1:04 Rundown14:17 History & Legends16:49 Relationships21:33 Player Information30:22 GM Ideas and Inspiration35:25 Sources & Additional Reading36:33 OutroDisclaimer: This video is not affiliated with Paizo in any way.

So You Want To Play... Outlaws of Alkenstar Podfinder 2025-03-07 | I'm back from my hiatus with a look at one of the most atmospheric Pathfinder 2E APs! Outlaws of Alkenstar is a campaing which is absolutely doused in flavor. It can make for a fun story in a fascinating setting, but needs a little work from GMs and players to run smoothly. To that end, I've included a section on GM advice at the end of this video. A lot of that information ended up overlapping with the statements made by How It's Played in their coverage of this AP, but I encourage you to watch their GM overview if you haven't already. 0:00 Intro & Additional Reading2:09 Campaign Overview10:19 The History & Founding of Alkenstar15:52 Alkenstar Today41:31 The Gunworks45:38 Dongun Hold59:23 The Mana Wastes1:10:07 Ancestries for Player Characters1:14:07 Classes for Player Characters1:21:20 Thematic Faiths1:25:06 Campaign Backgrounds1:30:13 GM Advice1:40:10 OutroThe official Outlaws of Alkenstar player's guide is available here: downloads.paizo.com/Outlaws+of+Alkenstar+Player's+Guide.pdfReddit Post for the Bronzetime & Surgetime rules: reddit.com/r/OutlawsOfAlkenstar/comments/v93pym/bronzetime_and_surgetime_setting_and_mechanicsReddit Post for the corrected map:reddit.com/r/OutlawsOfAlkenstar/comments/1c7afmt/edited_alkenstar_map_to_make_it_more_lorefriendlyDisclaimer: This video is not affiliated with Paizo in any way.

Sorshen was one of only two runelords who was never overthrown throughout the history of Thassilon. Her incredible power contributed significantly to this achievement, but her impressive intellect was just as important. I saved Sorshen for last because she is probably my favorite of the Runelords, and because here story is likely to have a substantial impact on the history of Golarion going forward.Disclaimer: This video is not affiliated with Paizo in any way.

Xanderghul was one of only two Runelords throughout Thassilon's history who was never overthrown. His realm of Cyrusian was a land of unrivaled prosperity, and it eventually became the de facto capital of the entire empire. Xanderghul maintained a strong connection to the mysterious Peacock Spirit, a deity which he discovered and whose religion he founded. He established several orders of warriors and scholars in the Peacock Spirit's name, and even constructed the Grand Temple in Cyrusian so the new faith might have a home. But the Master of the Unblinking Eye held more than a few secrets up his sleeves. Disclaimer: This video is not affiliated with Paizo in any way.

Edasseril, the land of envy, possessed saw more runelords rise and fall than any other nation; which seems odd, given that Abjuration is- in many ways- a school of magic focused on defense. Belimarius, the final Runelord of Envy, was far from the mightiest of the last seven rulers of Thassilon. That said, she definitely left her mark on her nation, and she was definitely one of the most effective heads of state her nation had ever seen.

Haruka, the smallest of the member kingdoms of Thassilon, was ruled over by the mighty- but lazy- Runelords of Sloth, the undisputed masters of conjuration. Haruka made a name for itself as the heart of Thassilonian religion, though its economy was extraordinarily reliant on institutional forced labor. Krune, the last of the Runelords of Sloth, is one of the vanishingly few Runelords to have risen to power peacefully. Though as indolent as his predecessors, he was a brilliant scholar and made for a dangerous enemy. Disclaimer: This video is not affiliated with Paizo in any way.

The Runelords of Gluttony were the necromanti lords of Gastash, a plentiful realm of prosperity. Though the Lords of Gluttony were undeniably evil, their citizens generally led comfortable lives, at least compared to their neighbors in broader Thassilon. Zutha was the last and most powerful of the Runelords of gluttony, and he gorged himself on the finest and most exotic foods he could find. That his appetites tended toward cannibalism is especially noteworthy. Zutha embraced necromancy to a degree that none of his predecessors had, by transforming himself into a Lich.

Alaznist rose to power by striking a bargain with Yamasoth, a Qlippoth Lord of the Outer Rifts, and her reign was a thing of terror and carnage. She ushered in a 400-year war with her neighbor Karzoug, and established demonology as the informal religion of Bakrakhan. In her endless pursuit of power, Alaznist also formalized the study of fleshwarping, and personally propelled it to new heights through the addition of Sin energy. Here experiments eventually resulted in the creation of the sinspawn, fearsome soldiers who changed the face of Thassilonian warfare forever.

The Runelords of Wrath ruled over the nation of Bakrakhan, the most war-like of the seven Thassilonian member kingdoms. The Runelords of wrath were well-known as demon-binders, and most of them openly made deals with the denizens of the Outer Rifts. The last and mightiest of the Runelords of Wrath, Alaznist, rose to power after sacrificing her whole family to the Qlippoth Lord Yamasoth, but I'll be digging more into her rule tomorrow.

Karzoug was the mightiest of the Runelords of Transmutation, and his rivalry with his neighbor Alaznist was legendary. Despite his eventual status as a mighty wizard king, his origins were humble and he worked for many years to suppress the truth of his past.Karzoug was a scholar of many topics, and sponsored a wide variety of research programs across Shalast. He was also deeply intertwined with the Denizens of Leng, a coalition of nightmare beings who provided him with eldritch knowledge. Disclaimer: This video is not affiliated with Paizo in any way.

The Transmuters of Greed ruled the nation of Shallast, an economic powerhouse in central Thassilon known for its ore, stone, and gem exports. The Runelords of greed were among the most dangerous of their peers, and pushed the fields of magical research and warfare to new heights. This video concludes with an examination of Xin-Shalast, the grand seat of power of the Runelords of Greed. This city remains one of the most well-remembered setpieces in all of Pathfinder, and will continue to play host to geopolitical developments in the Age of Lost Omens.

Their newfound freedom allowed them to indulge in Sin to an extent they never had before, and each o fthe seven archwizards soon embraced a lifestyle of tyrannical debauchery. Before I dig into the seven member nations of Thassilon, however, I need to cover a few more efforts which the Runelords undertook as a collective. These include: the Rune Giants who helped the Runelords enslave the native giant population, the Emerald Chambers which would serve as Xin's resting place, and the Runeforge which would serve as a shared research facility and a home for some of Thassilon's most powerful magical discoveries.Disclaimer: This video is not affiliated with Paizo in any way.

Though she was a minor goddess in Azlant, Lissala rose to prominence in Thassilon, and her faith was a unifying force in the early days of the empire. As the Runelords and their subject fell to Sin, however, Lissala found herself drawn toward a worldview of tyranny and punishment.By the time of the Thassilonian collapse during Earthfall, Lissala's faith was on the decline. Secular political power had upstaged her faith as the driving force in Thassilon. In response, Lissala began to retreat from the world, leaving her clerics powerless in the Age of Darkness.

Though born to wealth and privilage, Xin broke with his nation's traditions, and delved into the forbidden magics beyond his homeland's borders. When Xin and his apprentices were finally exiled for their academic herecies, they fled their native land, and set out to make a new nation for themselve. This new empire would become Thassilon, and Xin would become it's legendary First King. Xin and his followers eventually developed a new theory of magic which drew upon the archaic and mysterious runes of the goddess Lissala. But, in working directly with the language of creation itself, Xin and his mightiest apprentices- whom he dubbed the Runelords- exposed themselves to a terrible danger. As Xin isolated himself from the world, and devled further and further into his own magical theories, the Runelords became corrupted by Sin. So great was their fall, that the seven former apprentices soon found themselves plotting the death of the man they had once called master.
