im so thankful for this videos , the runelords are the thing i love the most from pathfinder , everything about them is always so interesting and incredible to me :)

No, you can't fix Alaznist, people have tried

Inverted giant as a template similar to Cryptids would be an awesome idea.

Geb and Hei Feng in a "most divorced man in the universe" competition

i think the conceptually most interesting (even if they'd never actually do it because it wouldn't be any fun to play/would make a lot of previous whispering tyrant content just seem dumb) would be he successfully becomes a God through the power of the starstone and is then immediately struck with how much he just reduced his own agency like he's fucking jafar from Aladdin hope ya like granting some clown 1st level Bane and centuries of fan discussion of "why doesn't tar-baphon intervene in X?", idiot even more ridiculous and unlikely but would be doubly funny if he then got jumped by the main pantheon of the setting like he's rovagug 2.0

With Tar Barphon's history of outwitting Aroden and using Aroden's divinity to his own benefit, I think it likely Tar Barphon crafted a spell which resulted in Aroden's death.

God's almighty, she's insane

Oh look, its Alderpash. I remember freeing him in Wotr.

So out of curiosity since I've tinkered with thassilonian characters some, I was wandering if you noticed any particular kinds names that thassilonian names pull from. I see some greek and roman names, but others i haven't placed, like names (mainly from the Runelords themselves since i don't have a nice list of all named thassilonian characters.) Does seem like its divided by region. Haven't managed to figure out shalast or haruka yet. Kaer Maga was a place named by a greed runelord, and Kaer is a welsh word, but names of people in shalast don't seem to be welsh inspired. Maybe I'm overthinking things and paizo just went with names they thought sounded neat, but it feels like theres at least some consistency in name in each region that it make me very curious, and wondered if you had spotted or noticed where they seem to be drawing names from that I am missing.

These Sin-Mas videos are amazing. I'm so excited for Enchantment (/Lust) and Illusion (/Pride).

The Czech Legion wasn't confused. Their path back to Europe was blocked by enemy forces. They had no choice but to flee East. Making them sound like hapless buffoons diminishes their courage, the adversities they faced and their actual history.

So....an evil race which engaged in slavery, an evil practice, was too much? That is stupid. The game has devils and gods which advocate assassination and wholesale murder, but portraying slavery as an evil practice was too much? Instead, Droskar is an evil capitalist who takes advantage of his workers? What capitalist doesn't take advantage of workers? Jeez, Paizo, pathetic.

To quote (and paraphrase) Thordak from D&D PHB PSAs, "Elves cause cancer," and, 'I'm not racist, I hate elves.'

Arazni's story was the most tragic in old PF. I was pleased when PF deemed to redeem her. He being Evil does not change this. She has become a force for good by using evil against Evil.

My friends and I are obsessed Kaer Maga, gotta be one of the most fascinating places on all of Golarion

I know that the Runelords are relatively evil, but Karzoug is so cool to me because he built himself up from literally nothing

I dont get it. Fleshwarping is primarily trasmutation isnt it? How did he lose to the Runelord of Wrath in what is supposed to be his area of expertise?

Haphrama made some pretty great spells I must say

How does one become a lich trasmuter? Doesnt one need to be a master necromancer to become a lich?

Is there any mention of inflation with any of the runelords of greed? All of this X material to gold would certainly bring its value down. Is this the reason high level magic items cost 50 thousand gold? Because some old farts 10k years ago decide they needed a golden person wielding a golden sword walking a golden road to the golden capital?

I'm excited for Karzoug, although I'm a little biased because of the Karzoug: A Fluke of Fate Pathfinder Infinites novel

The info on spells crafted by haphrama was great. my players in rise right now use several spells he made and thy just got to end of book 4 so perfect time to lore dump them!!! Thanks!!!!

Please note that the 8 schools predate 3.0, and existed in ADND 2e

I like that the rune looks like a hand holding a gem.

I'm running a highly homebrewed Varisia Sandbox and this series is a goldmine! Thank you for your hard work, I know there is so much Runelord content to look into

The spellwell in the book looks confusing based on its description. If the rings are supposed to be able to rotate, why do they spiral inward? I'd expect something like skyrims claw puzzles. Is it a design error?!

I'm starting to GM my first game of Rise of the Runelords next week and this is incredibly useful!

Woot woot!! Day three of sinmas! I’m so excited to dig into each of the Runelords coming up!

Wait a minute! Are you saying that the Runelords of Greed fashioned a sort of Opportunistic Greed Licensure (or "OGL" for short) that they could use to profit from other creative spellcasters, to only then twist in a blatant attempt to steal from the very people that they had profited from? How could such terrible wizards, presumably living near the coast, have accomplished such a dastardly feat? Hopefully an Organized Resistance Community (or ORC) rises to defeat them! I eagerly await the next part of this series to learn more! Also, loving this series! Lots or fun!

Day 3: The Lust Runelords have invented the Giantess Fetish

Day three of sinmas, lats go algorithm!

Yay!

Love this channel. Hope it gets the subscribers you deserve.

While its an incredibly small niche, IF you want to play a Giant who worships Lissala, Roll for Combat has a Giant Ancestry as part of their Year of Legends line of pdfs, and you could 100% pair that with the Runesmith class that Paizo is currently playtesting! To the exactly one person on the planet that this somehow helps... you're welcome!

That is a really good thought on how her and some other dieties are such that clerics arent able to directly engage their dieties domain or at least not as greatly. This kind of introduces a nieche use of a witch. They are more directly guided by the patron/diety than a wizard or a druid if more nature theme but able to go into different spell domains than a cleric. She would be an awesome inscribed one patron putting runes on your familiar to learn and translate to attempt to know her wants. But they also have the ability of learning more spells independently to show initiative. (Back when she was active of course) Love your stuff.

In Lost Omens: Divine Mysteries she is have two versions her old Azlanti version and her more "modern" version. People can see the differences in the free pdf from Paizo in the post "Chronicles of the Divine".

New information came out of Lissala too in Divine Mysteries. Her Edicts have changed significantly and now its "Gather and share knowledge freely, honor your duty when your word is given, respect and carry out the law" And her Anathema are "Conceal and keep information secret, break an oath, subvert authority" Her domains have changed aswell to "Ambition, duty, fate, knowledge" Her divine font is now harm or heal and sanctification is holy or unholy. So yeah, she's changed quite alot as a deity to follow.

The vignette at the start of chapter 2 of War of Immortals depicts a group of Lissalan pilgrims from ancient Thassilon, "seekers of the seven virtues" who are trying to "restore [Lissala] to the wisdom and virtue of her old ways, which she has been made, tragically, to forget." Whether this means that the Runelords "made" Lissala neglect her more benign aspect through some magic, or the speaker in the story is just using poetic language to describe Lissala's change of heart as part of her becoming Thassilon's patron deity, isn't clear. I think it's likely that Paizo is foreshadowing a partial rehabilitation of Lisalla for the introduction of the Runesmith class, and the "Temple of the Seven Wings" referenced in that story may appear in that book or an upcoming adventure.

I love you man

Lissala: The Patron Goddess of Your Boomer Parents

Consider an addendum covering SF² sources. It might be a Short if under three minutes.

Her old self's views on hard work and ernest effort might have had her in good standing with the dwarves if they found out about her. but alas, she wad gone before the dwarves finished the quest for the sky.

Love your work. Both extensive and compact. I'm finally learning all those things I wondered about Golarion. Thank ou so much!

Let's not worry about her being the chief deity of the Azlanti Star Empire in Starfinder and promoted to the core 20 deities of SF2e. That's probably totally okay!

Love this video and reminded me of something I heard of a long time ago that there use to be two more sins that were merged into the seven, vainglory and despair. From my understanding vainglory is excessive vanity or mega pride but I feel that despair fits SO WELL with divination. Looking into the future and seeing all the bad coming. And while not an opposite I see self control as an old virtue which fits for divination not being studied. If you practice self control you avoid going too deep into divination due to the risks but if you go with the opposite of self control you have no control to stop you from constantly looking into the future entering a state of despair. Both extremes would encourage divination to be "lost" as a major like the 8th virtue/sin lost. But that would be reaching to explain plot hole. Your videos just make me want to look and think.

Xin reaching to connect the schools of magic to the virtues of rule reminds me of how Isaac Newton was really into the mystical & religious significance of the number seven, as a result was very insistent that there were seven colors of the rainbow, and that's why indigo is considered a color of the rainbow.

So "Seven Dooms of Sandpoint" reveals in some minor background details that someone was trying to make Divination a proper school of sin magic. They wanted to be called the "Runelord of Vainglory," but, uh, she had bad timing. She reached a runelord's magical power a few months before Earthfall and then got crippled by her visions of the coming apocalypse. Whoops. It's unclear if she made a runewell, but it's most likely she was just overwhelmed with terror by watching her own death on repeat.

On the first day of sin-mas the runelords gave to me: An e‐ternal o‐li‐gar‐chy!

Its finally here! Merry Sin-mass and Happy Horrordays to everyone!
