Today, I'm covering Arshea, the Spirit of Abandon. Arshea is the Empyreal Lord of freedom, gender expression, and sexual liberation in the Golarion Pantheon. They champion the idea of living as your truest self and oppose all forms of repression. They're the ultimate divine LGBTQ+ ally among the gods, so I hope I do them justice with my coverage.

Day Twelve is finally here!
Today, I discuss the only remaining (official) Runelord in Thassilon's history: Sorshen, the Runelord of Lust.
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.

Today, I examine a runelord who's made several appearances already throughout this series: Xanderghul, the strongest of the Runelords, and the master of illusions.
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.

Today, I discuss the Sin of Envy, the magical school of abjuration, and the many, many Runelords of Edasseril
If the Runelords of Envy were good at anything, it was kicking off a coup. 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.

The Sin of Conjuration, and its related school of sloth, is up next.
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.

The Sin of Gluttony, and its related school of necromancy, is up next.
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.

I'm wrapping up my discussion of the sin of Wrath with the longest video in this series so far: my extended look at the life and reign of Runelord alaznist.
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.

My examination of the Sin of Greed continues with a whole video dedicated to Karzoug, the final Runelord of Greed.
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.

I start my in-depth examination of the Sins of ancient Thassilon with Greed.
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.

After the death of their master Xin, the Runelords of Thassilon began to stretch their wings as the new rulers of their nation. 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.

The Twelve Days of Sin-Mas continue with a look into the faith of Lissala, the Scihedron Scion, and the goddess who inspired Xin's research into Rune Magic.
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.

Our tale begins with the story of Xin, a prodigious wizard born into the height of the Azlanti Empire. 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.

In my last normal video for 2024, I present my video player's guide for the Season of Ghosts adventure path. This is easily the most spoiler-heavy AP I've ever read, so I've taken extra care to avoid spoilers in this video. Season of Ghosts is a fantastic AP, and is one of the best Paizo has ever produced. That said, it places a much greater emphasis on narrative rather than combat, so tune in to see if this AP could be right for your group.

I'm celebrating the end of October with my longest video ever, covering the biggest, baddest lich on all of Golarion: Tar-Baphon, the Whispering Tyrant. I'm also looking at the Whispering Way, the terrifying necromantic cult which helped raise the Tyrant to power.
