What is the Grim Reaper? | Pathfinder Lore

Everyone loves a good conspiracy theory, and today the Guide is bringing you a great one. What is the Grim Reaper? Everyone knows its visage, yet the collective wisdom of Golarion's scholars remains largely silent on its true nature and origins. Except for the author of the Encyclopaedia Golarionensis, who is brave enough to speak up about his own curious theory. Join him on a ship heading to Almas to uncover the truth.

Terry pratchetts rendering of the reaper is spot on,check him out.

This channel is amazing. As a DM trying to absorb as much lore of golarion as possible, this is doing wonders to the sense that golarion is a real place

[@roboticjanitor3332]

That was utterly horrifying, thanks!

[@Archangelm127]

I look forward to your planar lecture(s), O Guide. :)

[@Dandizz]

Another top-tier video! Well done.

[@ranty_fugue]

Brilliant loretelling! Thank you.

[@atlasaurus11]

Your ability to story tell, and so smoothly transition from topic to topic from spooky to calm is so impressive. Every video never fails to be so much better than the expectation of consistent high quality your videos harbour, ee so excited for the next :))

[@huntsman0865]

A video to die for!
With such a detailed travel plan, one can only speculate on its ultimate goal, and its possible waylaid plans. Going to high helm however, i wonder if a deep dive on dwarves is planed, or prehaps maybe somthing else entirely?

[@theloretour]

Highhelm is so very far away, and the mountain roads can be dangerous!
