I liked when the Empire of Taldor at its hight AND the whispering Tyrant - a Necromancer so powerful, that it needed a god to defeat him - looked at Numeria and were like "Nope!" And then 40 giant tribes tried it anyways and got slaughtered. Twice. And then demons tried to invade and just became some lab rats for an AI without any hope of escaping. The only reason Numeria never really expanded its borders is, because its inhabitants are to busy fighting each other or getting eaten by monsters or alien space robots.
There were many people who really didn't like the technology season of Pathfinder Society when Numeria took center stage, but the fact remains that it was the most Conan of all the storylines
As someone new to the lore I can understand the resistance. This addition is quite the departure from the norm. Would a find such as an space ship not spark a giant technological revolution changing the face of the setting forever?
@@JeroenDoes the techno-barbarians were part of the lore from the beginning, though, and the technology in the spaceship is so advanced they have no way to understand it. Add that to how Golarion has very little cultural osmosis between regions and it fits right in. Pathfinder has areas for any kind of fantasy RP you might want, Numinaria is the Conan-ian "our magic is actually space hypertech and we have aliens hanging around in strange towers and stuff" place.
@@JeroenDoesIt probably wouldn’t because it’s the equivalent of a bunch of tribal hunter gatherers finding a nuclear reactor. They have no way of understanding it so they couldn’t assimilate the tech.
I’m in the middle of writing my own campaign setting and your videos have single-handedly been my biggest influence in how exactly I should outline and breakdown to my players each region, county, city, etc. without it feeling like a big word salad infodump. Thank you so much 🙏
Casandalee will eventually merge with 2 other gods to become Triune, The All Code and become one of the major deities of Starfinder. It's cool to see her origin here :D
Here's a fun idea, run an adventure in a crashed spaceship but use fantasy terminology and vague descriptions and see how long have it takes the players to get it.
im fairly certain the white scars current clan liege is Jubal Khan, who accended to the position after his predecessor, Kyublai Khan disappeared fighting the drow
It used to be a lot more common. Might and Magic's height was during the time when the primary plot was driven by spacefaring wizard-scientists fighting on various artificial planetoids.
Its such a wierd, unique corner of the Pathfinder world. In doing research for this video it really made me appreciate how carefully they thought about ways to ground the crazy concept of 'barbarians and laser guns' in a sense of reality.
@@TheMythKeeper Totally. like much of the setting, Numeria is definitely a good balance of old tropes and inverted concepts. And yes it is definitely an interesting place. Honestly, I can't imagine it being written better (well...I take that back, it would have been more interesting if the Androffans weren't so similar to Golarian humans, but that's just a nitpick lol).
Thank me? No way. I've been listening to your amazing lore videos covering the history of Golarion for at least a year now. I'm the one that should be thanking you for all of the enjoyment I've gotten out of them. All the best!
I've received this request a few times now and I definitely plan to do this, but because I expect AP summaries will take a long time, it's going to be a long time before I get there. I want to get my region deep dives mostly wrapped up before I start down this journey - so probably mid 2024 or so? That's my guess right now. Then I have to figure out if I want to do the same for 2E APs as well
I am so excited for your Alkenstar video! I have been binge watching all of your videos and yours out of the few pathfinder channels that are on UA-cam is the only one I am excited to watch and don't make it feel like a chore to listen to. Thanks for all the excellent work you do for this franchise and its fans!
You're so welcome! You only have to wait 3 videos now for Alkenstar, as its my next region deep dive. Its up already on my Mythwatchers Club channel in fact so a few folks have seen it. I think its a fun one. 😁
Great video! Looking back, I'm often amused how many roleplayers reject the introduction of giant robots and cybernetic nanotechnology into a "traditional" fantasy setting. It’s not like we haven't seen this kind of thing before, from Shadowrun to Rifts to Warhammer 40,000 for example. Maybe those settings get passes because the mixing is front and center, as opposed to being an outlier? As for the Hollow Garden, for some reason I'm reminded of an issue of KNIGHTS OF THE DINNER TABLE; a GM wants his gaming group to try a sci fi setting, but the players program the holodeck with their fantasy adventure. So the GM introduces glitches in the matrix...
Yeah I think if the whole "world" is Numeria people don't have a problem with it (like He-Man!) but if there's just one country then it feels incongruous. This is serving a purpose though - which is allowing groups to play different pulp genres in different parts of the world.
@@TheMythKeeper No man. you are really the BEST. If I only had spare $$$ i will donate you gladly. You are making sucha wonderful job... I share your content everyware I can. BIG love from Poland.
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.
I'm in the middle of a playthrough of War for the Crown (my second playthrough actually first time I was a player, this time I'm running it) and I'm having a blast. I want to do the same thing for Iron Gods as that was another game I was a player for.
@@TheMythKeeper From an in-universe perspective, this must be one of the most fucked up places on the planet! Maybe even worse than the manawastes. Playing the iron gods AP right now (Book 2) and yeah.... I definitly wouldn't want to live there myself. But I also kinda love it!
@@frederickgleicher1385 - Yes on both. I'll do a regional deep dive on the Crown of the World at some point (north pole) and I'll do a bunch of Tian-Xia too, but for that I'm waiting for the new Lost Omens Tian-Xia worldbook to come out first.
If Abadar has prefect copies of every object that ever existed in his vault, then he knew of all this technology. There must be a sect of his clergy that studies it. They might even have perfect blueprints of this spacecraft.
I did like Numeria. It's existance embodies the conflict between sci-fi & fantasy. Just like how Alkenstar embodies the guns vs magic in fantasy debates.
No, but I've noticed that depending on the time of day I record my voice will drop or raise on octave. Typically its quite a bit deeper in the morning than in the afternoon, so when the pitch changes suddenly its just a different day's recording.
Is there any background or story on the starship or who were the crew? I've never played any AP's associated with Numeria, so all I've ever heard is "its a spaceship".
Yeah the Iron Gods adventure path provides a little more detail about the Androffans and about the last surviving Androffan referenced in the video. There's also a lot left ambiguous though as well, so there's plenty of mystery left still to explore.
At least one of the "fallen stars" (aka, wrecked spacecraft) comes from Androffa, a world located beyond the boundaries of the solar system that Golarion is located in.
Not any specific information, but I have thoughts. One thing to know is that Androffa, Earth and Golarion are all connected by some unexplained common thread. All three are predominantly populated by humans and all three were targeted by Rovagug during the Age of Creation as detailed in this Paizo Blog: paizo.com/community/blog/v5748dyo6sh26 (Search "Androffa".) Although other parts of the lore mention that Rovagug is sealed within Golarion it seems more likely that Rovagug is actually sealed within all three planets, because its a meta-physical seal, and the Demiplane known as the Vault of Rovagug. I think its possible that connections to the Vault can be found at the center of all three planets and that containment was breached in Androffa first and that they actually went to Golarion for aid - not being aware that Azlant had been destroyed who were a magically adept culture that might even have been aware of the technologically adept Androffans, but were shot down by the Eoxians (I'm way out on a limb here, but I've seen lore over the years that suggest this). If that's the case maybe Androffa was destroyed by Rovagug because the Divinity's message failed. One thing we know for certain is that Golarion itself is disappeared by the time of Starfinder. This suggests Rovagug either managed to liberate itself, or the entire planet was moved to a different sort of vault to continue his containment. I don't know, this is me just vamping, take all of it with a grain of salt...
So what i get from this is that it may be a very good thing the survivor was murdered before she could recontact home... Irony! I love it.@@TheMythKeeper
I'm surprused that the very annoying company called Games Workshop has allowed the White Scars to go unchallenged as the logo and name are direct from their IP.
So the tribe are called the White Scars, but truthfully the logo was me having an in-joke and seeing who would catch it. I don't think White Scars is copyrightable unless you're specifically creating some kind of space marine.
I love this area, of all the Broken Lands this one is the most uniqe imo. Great summy! Waiting to play itvwith some Starfinder rules added in. A suggestion. Cut the word "primitive" in the first min. it's the racist term of colonis that wanted an exuse to kill Indigenous pepoles.
You are right - that's the wrong word. I apologize for that. Unfortunately (and this is crazy to me) UA-cam does not allow you to edit videos once they are published. You can only delete them and create a new one in the case of a real emergency. I have other videos on this channel I wish I could tweak now as well, like my werewolf video where I unfortunately use the g-word for Romani peoples. 😞
Not a lot of detail that I've been able to find. I believe there are some allusions to the fact that Androffa might have been ravaged by Rovagug. Also not alot of details around Earth in the Starfinder universe.
there's very few settings like numeria in any ither game, and even less that aren't like, a brief joke but i finally remembered what numeria reminds me of it's kind of like Kenshi, just replace the conan aesthetics with vaguely eastern, and really lean on the "this place is insanely unlivable" vibes probably because kenshi is majority populated by various sorts kf normal people struggling to survive in tiwns and villages, nit majority badass nomadic barbarian people who really aren't bothered by the conditions. I suppose a majority - shek Kenshi would be even more like Numeria
As the GM you should totally watch this, but you'll want to be careful for your players. The video takes viewers up to second edition, which includes the aftermath of Iron Gods, so there are some general spoilers about how things are expected to turn out at the end of that adventure. Of course I suppose your own journey could take you in a different direction.
@@TheMythKeeper yeah things are gonna be interesting, one player is the biological daughter of Ghartone who was working on her and Khonnir's adoptive daughter (she was rescued by Khonnir) and another player...well...lets just say they have reason not to destroy the league but rather reform it LOL Also we have a player playing a homebrew robot race who might throw off other canon...
@@TheMythKeeper but yeah your videos are great, I hope paizo takes notice and use you for stuff. You have a wonderful speaking voice and have a way of making even slightly mundane things sound interesting. Ya seriously underrated cause you are doing a better job than just a wikipedia run, since ya better at adding a bit more context...and also mentioning where adventure paths takeplace with time helps
@@TheSpiritus0 Well its not explicitly specified but there is some link that connects all three of the planets with majority human populations, Earth, Androffa and Golarion. All three were targeted by Rovagug during the Age of Creation. See this link: paizo.com/community/blog/v5748dyo6sh26 This leads me to believe that the humans have of the material universe have some greater purpose to play in the future, which explains why their worlds were targeted for destruction. As to why all three of these worlds, located in completely different parts of the universe all should have humans is unclear, but I'd bet the gods were involved.
Oh, that is rich. A clan named the White Scars, with an almost identical symbol to the White Scars legion of Space Marines from Warhammer 40,000? 😂 For the uninitiated, genetically augmented superhuman super soldiers in power armor, with the most basic arms being chainsaw swords and semi-automatic rocket launchers. That's a basic Space Marine. Now imagine them as Space Mongolians, replacing the horses with motorcycles. That's the White Scars.
I always appreciate your videos but I found the lack of your normal video intro oddly disconcerting. I find it helps to have a few moments to prepare myself to learn things 😅
Thanks for letting me know! Yeah, I stopped putting the intros on the regional videos because they often clock in at over an hour and I figured that's enough time with me for the week 😂
I am interested in this topic and you make good content, but an hour and a half is a long time to invest in watching a video. I could split it up into 30 minute segments, but it might be better for your channel if you edited this video into three and spread their release dates over the course of the week. You'd get the same number of views on three videos instead of one.
You know I actually started with that approach originally. (Check my Humans ancestry video - it is split into two parts. Actually so is my Dragons video.) But what I found is lots of people don't watch Part 2. They forgot what came before and don't want to jump into something mid-stream, so it causes me to just lose viewership on this videos. I know it doesn't work for everyone, but for me the big video format has been working so I think in the short run that's what I'll stick with.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a wizard went absolutely bonkers trying to understand the “magic” of Numerian technology.
And then Technomancers were born.
This setting feels like a pulpy 70's science fantasy graphic novel adaptation of an even more pulpy book series from the 40's. I frigging love it.
Haha! Yeah that's a great summary!
I liked when the Empire of Taldor at its hight AND the whispering Tyrant - a Necromancer so powerful, that it needed a god to defeat him - looked at Numeria and were like "Nope!"

The only reason Numeria never really expanded its borders is, because its inhabitants are to busy fighting each other or getting eaten by monsters or alien space robots.
Haha! Yeah sounds like Taldor and Tar-Baphon made the right call.
I nearly chocked on mine coffee when the White Scars appeared with the 40k space marine emblem

question, and I'm gming for Iron Gods, any spoilers (should mention we are near the end of book 4)
As the GM you should totally watch this, but you'll want to be careful for your players. The video takes viewers up to second edition, which includes the aftermath of Iron Gods, so there are some general spoilers about how things are expected to turn out at the end of that adventure. Of course I suppose your own journey could take you in a different direction.
@@TheMythKeeper yeah things are gonna be interesting, one player is the biological daughter of Ghartone who was working on her and Khonnir's adoptive daughter (she was rescued by Khonnir) and another player...well...lets just say they have reason not to destroy the league but rather reform it LOL
Also we have a player playing a homebrew robot race who might throw off other canon...
@@TheMythKeeper but yeah your videos are great, I hope paizo takes notice and use you for stuff. You have a wonderful speaking voice and have a way of making even slightly mundane things sound interesting. Ya seriously underrated cause you are doing a better job than just a wikipedia run, since ya better at adding a bit more context...and also mentioning where adventure paths takeplace with time helps
@@BrenTenkage - Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. Yeah I'd love to record some official Paizo stuff some day. Its doubtful but who knows!
So androffa has humans too?
Yeah Androffa is a predominantly human planet.
@@TheMythKeeper So interesting. Is there a lore reason for why humans are everywhere even if the planets have never really met?
@@TheSpiritus0 Well its not explicitly specified but there is some link that connects all three of the planets with majority human populations, Earth, Androffa and Golarion. All three were targeted by Rovagug during the Age of Creation. See this link: paizo.com/community/blog/v5748dyo6sh26
This leads me to believe that the humans have of the material universe have some greater purpose to play in the future, which explains why their worlds were targeted for destruction. As to why all three of these worlds, located in completely different parts of the universe all should have humans is unclear, but I'd bet the gods were involved.
Oh, that is rich. A clan named the White Scars, with an almost identical symbol to the White Scars legion of Space Marines from Warhammer 40,000? 😂
For the uninitiated, genetically augmented superhuman super soldiers in power armor, with the most basic arms being chainsaw swords and semi-automatic rocket launchers. That's a basic Space Marine. Now imagine them as Space Mongolians, replacing the horses with motorcycles. That's the White Scars.
That's clearly a jaguar, not a tiger.
Agree ;-)
I always appreciate your videos but I found the lack of your normal video intro oddly disconcerting. I find it helps to have a few moments to prepare myself to learn things 😅
Thanks for letting me know! Yeah, I stopped putting the intros on the regional videos because they often clock in at over an hour and I figured that's enough time with me for the week 😂
Soy Video Ustav? :D 11:15
Soividia Ustav :-P
Personally not a big fan of scifi tech in a fantasy setting.
I am interested in this topic and you make good content, but an hour and a half is a long time to invest in watching a video. I could split it up into 30 minute segments, but it might be better for your channel if you edited this video into three and spread their release dates over the course of the week. You'd get the same number of views on three videos instead of one.
You know I actually started with that approach originally. (Check my Humans ancestry video - it is split into two parts. Actually so is my Dragons video.) But what I found is lots of people don't watch Part 2. They forgot what came before and don't want to jump into something mid-stream, so it causes me to just lose viewership on this videos. I know it doesn't work for everyone, but for me the big video format has been working so I think in the short run that's what I'll stick with.
@@TheMythKeeper I wouldn't have expected that, but the proof is in the pudding, I guess.
I am early
Hey first non-club comment! Kudos!
@@TheMythKeeper interesting this area of pathfinder is not as un fantasy as one might think
Is the lady killing an Iron Hand ?
GW stuff does seem to sneak in from time-to-time doesn't it?
