Pathfinder Lore: Ships of the Inner Sea
We just recently started the edgewatch-campaign and everyone except our GM are Newbies so this video is just on time. Very Nice!👏 Thank you for your videos - they are always so detailled and very extended🤓
Rock on! Thanks for sharing 🙂
When my group played Kingmaker, two of us had characters that hailed from the Tiger Lords; a barbarian and a scout (rogue archetype). Unfortunately, we did not get more than halfway through the AP before our GM suffered a fatal heart attack. 😢 I regularly wonder wonder how that campaign would have turned out.
Omg, that's horrible, I'm so sorry to hear this.
Looking forward to the next two videos!
Coming soon!
It's a pity that Agents of Edge-watch is unplayable, believe me we tried, but after three TPKs with increasingly minmaxed characters it became clear it was just a dud. Absalom is such a fun place.
Just means you have to tinker with the balance as a GM 😅
@@TheMythKeeperThats what my GM said too. I saw a non Spoiler Review and the guy said it was very grindy like encounter after encounter and very hard to overcome them. When I spoke about that with my GM he said he will do the campaign how the party will have fun with it as such he will give hints and encourages to solve conflicts in non combat, let the party member get appropiate Items and rebalance the checks eventually. We were speaking about the Lore of Milani how she became a deity and our version he thought was so fitting that it is now canon in our pathfinder universe😇😇
I mean my Character is a Melixie with backround Saloon Performer who owned a club in the Docks with a Halfling woman called "Elysium" My Club was raided by a police special unit, then I was disowned and the club went under the hammer. The Motivation for my character to get into the police to make her own research who is responsible for that and get revenge (her favoured deity is callistra); the police hired her bc of her connections to the local underworld and knowledge (and she is a Rogue - they are useful). My friend and expartner reopened a tavern and is actually an NPC in the campaign. The half orc in our party joined later and in a conversation my character found out that he was actually a part of the police squad who raided my bar....since everyone else was corrupt and he just was not getting why they would went to the wrong adress he just didnt went with and then end up at the edgewatch. I mean it has little to do with the video or the dificulty of the campaign but I wanted to share that bc I m so amazed how our GM ties our Characters into the city and its politics and people ☺☺
@@skinlesschickennugget2411 And this is how it should be
Man I’m really thankful for this I’m gonna run agents of edge watch and now I got a brief history I can listen to and send to my players hell yeah
Awesome
Now we are cooking 😊 Made my day, thank you.
12:15 Random Ornn appears. I think he got lost in the Jungle (First World) while pathing Top to Mid xD
Hehe!
yes absalom finally!
I know! Took me long enough
@@TheMythKeeper really waited for this one, cause in the current pf2e campaign i am playing in my character is from absalom ^^
Whhooo! Now I can finally show my Edgewatch players this! Thanks!
Rock on!
LETS GO ABSALOM BAY BEEEEEE
Maybe its on my part but the intro sound is on one side with headphones. Just for info.
Yeah sorry about that
Your videos studying Pathfinder chronicles really improved my enjoyment replay of Pathfinder king maker & wraith righteous found myself reading ever book both games I never got to play Pathfinder or DnD yet I'm 47 I wanted to play since I was literally a kid it's on my bucket list run Pathfinder campaign think it's only way I will get to play
From my games there is also Chainbreaker the Thrice-hanged & Hogfather in the Puddles district. Chainbreaker was a Druid in life who was hanged for stealing his animal companion Hogfather, who at the time was a domesticated hog. His soul was consigned to Cernunnos’ realm in Elysium, which was like a prison to the lonely little goblin. When Hogfather, who was consigned to Nirvana, sought him out in Elysium, Chainbreaker was told that he should learn from the boar’s example by the azata. From that day forward, he sought a way to escape the “prison” of Elysium, where he was without tribe. The core of his tribe in the Puddles are slaves he freed in Cheliax before migrating to Absalom. Many of the halflings of them personally witnessed the Chellish hell knights hang him and watched him get back up when they cut him down to recover the rope. The goblins of his tribe have watched him use wildshape to turn into a wolf, so they assume he is a fifth hero-god. After arrival in Absalom, he put his tribe to work building a place to live in the deeper parts of the Puddles. They began by collapsing old buildings and filling them in with mud and soil to create dry land for their campsite. The oldest campsites are now farms and range land for the pigs, covering several of the old city blocks. The dredging operations to build new islands have left deep sinkholes in other parts of the Puddles, such as the ship canal at the Spitside docks, which is deep enough that large ocean-going vessels can dock safely. I’ll go into more detail when the next video covers places, if you’d like.
Thank you for this video. I have been playing in PFS games the last few months and really didn't understand what the society was in game. I got it, but not really. Anyhow, this helped a ton.
Hey awesome glad to help!
So the Odyssey begins!
Immediately shared with my Agents of Edgewatch campaign before I even watched. Incredible video, as always.
Thanks for sharing!
great video, i will waiting for the 2nd and 3rd parts
Coming soon!
3 parts!?!? While im super excited i hope you're able to take a break after this. Because wow. Dont burn yourself out
Oddly, the Pathfinder 616 campaign diary has really helped me balance my workload. Those videos have broken up the style and allowed me a little more energy to keep going.
@@TheMythKeeper that's awesome
Been waiting on this for a while! Thank you!
You bet!
Another 3 part topic, yay!
🎉🥳
We're getting not only one video on Absalom but three?! Man, thanks so much. I can only imagine how much work it is for you to present everything so detailed in this way. Amazing work as always!
❤
Makes sense dividing Absalom in more parts
👏👏👏
Will you grace us with a "Pathfinder Solar System Deepdive" series once Golarion is finished? I heard Eox the Dead Planet was quite the tourist magnet. :p
Haha! So it is
honestly i'm used to the right audio on the intro at this point. It distinguishes the intro from the body of the video.
😅
i love that you're doing 3 videos on this city! (also the audio quality is much improved since i last commented on it! bravo)
NICE!
Love your work man, it's been great for the project I've been working on 😁
Cooooool. Another good video!
Thanks again!
These videos plus the ones that Lore Tour put out on the Districts of Absalom should be really helpful for any GM wanting to run games there, especially agents of edgewatch.
Hopefully so!
I thought Absolom would be last whenever Paizo gets around to releasing the Test of the Starstone module.
I'm closing on my 2nd year of the channel being up. I felt like it was time ;-)
they probably never will due to the personalized nature of each Test of the Starstone, and the fact that it means they'll have to deal with gods that they can't use in official content (as they are your each individual PCs after they ascended) but at the same time acknowledge that they exists, which unlike a simple kingdom at a small region of the continent (Kingmaker), they can't really ignore.
Is the Starwatch the precursor to the Starfinder society in the Starfinder setting? Its uniforms look distinctly modern, which is why I ask
I don't believe so... I think the precursor of the SFS is probably the PFS 😅
@TheMythKeeper That makes sense too, but I don't see any other modern uniforms in any Pathfinder art I've seen
Had to share to my dm. We just arrived a few sessions ago.
Awesome, yes, please do share!
I swear sometime these vids post at exactly the time I need something to watch while I do chores. I honestly cant wait for more.
Nice!
Thank you for the eye watering content. The hard work has been appreciated. You make my work week chill.
Thank you kindly!
Honestly, I'm not surprised Absalom has so much history. I would expect a place with a magic rock that can make you a god to have a bit of lore at least
Haha! This is true
Do you plan on doing any Starfinder Lore?
Maybe eventually! Not in calendar year 2024 though
1,5 month about Absalom... Solid.
I have the Pathfinder Society book. It should be helpful to use this video along with the readings.
Fun fact! A Mortal Soul can technically become a Qlippoth, but the requirement to do so makes it impossible. Namely they have to be evil but without sin.
Thank you for the entertaining video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
My first introduction to Kami and Oni was the Magic the Gathering’s original Kamigawa block. While I couldn’t pronounce a thing, I was fascinated by the concept of everything having its own mini to major god spirit. Great work and thx for bringing back fond memories!
Mine too! 😅
I’m so sad to see this series end, but there’s the promise of new things to come. And that makes me happy. At least now there’s no more new demigods to keep track of (yet).
Demigod series is ending... but I have a few more gods coming still. I'm covering the Vudran pantheon as part of my Vudra and Jalmeray video and I will soon be doing a Tian Xia overview video which will cover the prominent gods there as well.
@@TheMythKeeper That sounds awesome!
But isn't necromancy already its own school of magic? And out of all the spells in the necromantic school, how many actually raise undead? I'd say the majority of them instead revolve around doing horrifying things to the mortal body and soul, and like six of them actually raise the dead?
Well, well, well! Color me impressed! Your first foray into this new format is very well done. I am quite keen to hear how you tackle the narration of combat.
Awww thank you! Much appreciated
Found your channel through the Shackles regional deep dive video. I must commend you for summarising a decent high-level history of Golarion into less than 30 minutes. I've read through some of the world guides and material, so I know that this 28-min video was probably the culmination of hundreds, possibly thousands of hours of reading. Only thing I'd have changed was to add descriptors to nations/places: (The archipelago of )The Shackles, or (The undead) nation of Geb. Arazni is probably the most compelling and interesting characters in the lore, so when you mentioned Nex & Geb, I realised you didn't cover how they're named after their respective sorceror-kings who hate each other, and the creation of the Mana Wastes. Probably too much detail to get into, but a few descriptors here and there would have greatly contributed to highlight how interesting some of these settings are.
Thank you for the long comment! Definitely check out my Geb and Nex region deep dives for more Arazni details! They are some of my favorites on the channel
I am worning on an evil monk major NPC that lives in Jalmeray. Thinking a follower of Irori who has been corrupted by an Asuna into thinking enlightenment js about perfection, power, abd exoanding one's understanding forcibly onto others. It fits the Asuna wanting to unmake and remake reality, to counter the divine, and the themed of self development and enlightenment for both monks and Irori.
~Aug 1 my Vudra and Jalmeray video comes out. Should be a great one for this concept
@@TheMythKeeper I look forward to it! Tentatively I'm leaning toward a normal asura that works for Gavidya secretly created the Exhaustive Path, and the monk follows that.
@@johnnelson4411 In that case let me share one additional detail about Gavidya that may be of interest and doesn't appear in this video. During the Age of Anguish, Gavidya is said to have come to the mortal realm to besiege and try to conquer the cities in Vudra along the Matra river. The Matra river was protected by the goddess Matravash, for whom the river is named. Gavidya was winning the war against Matravash, and overwhelming her forces, but a wanderer came to the river valley, in the form of Ashukharma, the goddess of canyons. Ashukharma and Matravash allied and together forced Gavidya to reteat to hell. They've been lover ever since. The citizens of Radripal, one of the greatest cities in Vudra along the Matra river, believe the great natural land bridge the connects the two banks of their city was formed where Ashukharma and Matravash held hands after their victory over Gavidya. Not sure, this is usable lore for you, but just some more Gavidya info for you ;-)
