Ah, the lady who wanted to keep the party going so badly that she became the first undead.
I can respect that lol
She was a raver
a raven.Pie Bavarde.
That "divorce = bad, spousal murder = good" really cracked me the hell up. It gave me full vibes of "A Little Piece of Heaven" by Avenged Sevenfold. Urgathoa would absolutely LOVE that song, omG XD
Well they do decide to get back together in the end, so perhaps it all worked out lol
Urgathoa Clerics: I cast Remove Disease, and Lesser Restoration. Praise be to the Pallid Princess, for life has no consequences!
One of my favorite deities. It's intriguing how she is Neutral Evil and not Chaotic Evil, considering she is very attached to freedom.
I wonder how a Lawful Evil cleric of Urgathoa that is attached to Order would play out.
You misunderstood chaotic evil then.
Chaotic evil is "might makes right" and seeks subjugation through force.
Neutral evil generally doesn't care about control and subjugation of others; Neutral Evil concentrates only on the self, without regard to the specifics of how. Whether the Neutral Evil achieves what they want through lies, deception, and manipulation or brute force equally.
@@JohnSmith-ro2sc I don't think we can define the alignments so clearly. Most people I talked to have a somewhat consistent idea of what lawful evil means, but I have heard very different ideas about the definition of chaotic evil especially and the chaotic allignment in general.
For me saying that chaotic characters work according to their desires, whims, emotions etc. Unlike lawful characters who work according to their principles.
So a chaotic character could be according to my definition a might makes right character but also e.g. a manipulative character who furthers their desires or ambitions through intrigue.
E.g. at least in D&D many scheming Drow are chaotic evil.
Nocticula is more tyrannical and chaotic evil (as a Demon Lord)
I would suggest that neutral evil has more freedom than chaotic. Chaotic evil characters frequently go mad, which limits free will. Neutral evil is the ultimate freedom, as you don't care about law or chaos. You only care about yourself.
As someone new to Pathfinder I want to thank you for doing these lore videos. I love lore in general. More, more, more!!
Thank you for the information, you do very good research and the topic of undeath is an interesting one. Urgathoa is without a doubt a very strange diety, i mean on one hand she teaches all the pleasure in life to continue to undeath but there are mindless undead that cannot enjoy, but on the other hand she teaches you that the "convenient" pleasures will one day stop giving you pleasure and you have to go for more!
Oh man she has such a cool design and an interesting portfolio
So many plot hooks and campaign ideas are birthing from this videos information. Love it!
Pretty fitting subject for October. Great video!
Thank you for this video. It helps with my table’s campaign. It has helped with the lore building for a portion of our campaign as we recreate parts of our home brews in Golarion, like my Circus Umbria which is in opposition to Ugathoa but can be confused with being in league with them due to outward similarities with her church.
I’m GMing the arc that starts the formation of circus next month and the table is looking forward to it since they get to be part of the creation once we get to Absolom.
Excellent content as always.
Now, as an audio only channel I would recommend trying to clean the audio. When you cut, we can heat the background noise cuts in and out (microwave beeping? dog with a leash?) and it is slightly unpleasant.
Keep up the good work.
Most days when I'm recording, I record around 12-1am when everyone's asleep, this video and my next video, the audio was recorded during daytime and there is a bit more background noise then I'm used to dealing with. Thanks for the comment though, I'll see what I can do with the next video!
Divorcing because you're not having a good time anymore? nah. Murdering and raising your spouse as a zombie? Yeah, that's indulgent enough.
Very interesting video, I really liked the visual aspect of Urgathoa, learning more about her is nice (or, y'know... pretty horrible actually).
I find the relationship between Urgathoa and Naderi to be interesting. Most intriguing though is the presence of cults that seek to ship the two. I had a character idea involving such a cult, and I look forward to the rules for cults present in Dark Archive.
Very well done vid! Saying that though I'm surprised there wasn't a mention of Zyphus, given his loyalty to her and a mutual tie in swaying Naderi.
Wow I skipped right over him somehow. He's actually in my script, but I must have gotten lost when I read it and missed his blurb!
Urgathoa'a biggest enemy: The Gym Bros
I really appreciate these lore vids. My introduction to Pathfinder was Kingmaker. It was obvious that the world had so much depth to it but there was no easy way to get educated on it.
I'm glad there helping you learn about Golarion! There's alot to learn out there lol
@@SirVertigo Thanks man. I got a question for you if you don’t mind. I really like the Tiefling race and I’ve been playing a neutral good one. Is it possible for a Tiefling to permanently overcome her inherent darkness and rage so it essentially disappears? Or is she forever doomed to struggle with it?
@@Runeforged oh I'm sure it is. While there parent may be a mortal race and a fiend, that didn't necessarily mean they are forced into evil.
If you've ever watched teen titans, Raven is a good example. Her father's a demon, she's supposed to bring in the end of the world, but doesn't want to and isn't evil. She has the diabolic shadow over her, but she chooses her own path.
Evil tiefling go evil not because they are forced to, but more because everyone expects them to, if that makes sense?
If everyone you meet keeps you at arms length and treats you like at any moment your gonna burn down an orphanage, your eventually gonna crumble from the sheer unfairness of it, if that makes sense.
@@Runeforged as a matter of fact, Wrin Sivinxi is a good aligned Elven Tiefling that runs a small oddity shop in Otari.
@@SirVertigo Interesting. I was playing wotr and my tiefling had a dream where u can resist your demonic rage or give into it. The whole idea of trying to keep a lid on things when in dangerous, high pressure situations is fascinating… and like you said on top of all that they gotta deal with the worst of discrimination in Pathfinders world. Hell man even undead are less spit at!
I learned a bunch about the clergy and Urgathoa’s realm.
I love ur videos and i dont even play pathfinder, please continue good work
That's a mighty compliment, thank you! You should give it a try, it's a ton of fun and theres dozens of good sites to find online or local games!
Be me a lich
Hate Phrasma with undying passion.
Hate Urhotgoa as she
Is a perverse degenerate. A mockery of what a God of Undeath should be.
Orcus slightly better. Primary patron, will eventually betray.
Scheme to become a master of life and death and become a God myself to spurn them all, but ultimately my prove superiority as a fairer God of the afterlife.
All praise Nethys
Your content is awesome man! You're doing great work. Please do keep making videos! With that said, you clearly put a ton of work into this videos and it shows, but if I could point out one small thing -- Urgathoa's symbol is a death's 'head' moth, not death's hand.
Yea, I tripped over my words there and didn't realize it until it had already been uploaded! I usually have alot more time to edit them but I'm trying to pump out 5 vids this month and between work and everything, it's difficult lol
Love your vids, great stuff. Only thing is your pronunciation of her name makes me wince.
9:41 She's real popular on the planet Eox
I heard you were talking about me.
All good things, I swear!
Urgathoa is best goddess. She embodies free will, to the point of giving Pharasma the finger about her choosing where your soul goes after death.
I would like to play a slightly delusional chaotic good Urgathoa cleric 😊
Do you have a lore video about Falayna or Milani? I am a 5e expat and I had homebrewed a deity for her that is very similar to both of them and those two deities m8ght just be up her pala... Champion's alley. :-)
I do not! But, I was just searching for a short topic to do for next week's video, and milani looks to be the perfect length so you may see that next Friday!
The lore is from 1e or 2e books ? Or a compilation of both ?
Compilation of both, but up to date to 2e. I'm redoing my formatting to include sources for info, so I apologize for the lack of good sourcing so far!
Urgathoa is just a reskinned Slaanesh, and I'm here for it.🤣
YU 'RE COMMING FROM BABYL-MESOPOTAMIA I KNOW.
You didn’t mention what Azmodieus thinks of her
I'm not sure there's a lot of info of how they view each other, Asmodeus does seek for order and dominance over the universe, while Urgathoa just wants freedom to live life! So, I'd imagine there slightly at odds, he wants control and she wants freedom but other than that, I couldn't find any info on them!
should I be alarmed if I was eating while watching this video?
Ah, feasting while soaking in the entertainment, you have all the qualities of an Urgathoan cleric!
@@SirVertigo well then i begin my study into the dark arts at midnight!!!
You mentioned several times in this video of awful She is. Especially at the start, then half way through you mention how She won't go out of her way to cause pain out of sheer enjoyment. Pretty sure that's what EXACTLY what She'd do, I'm sorry to say. Haha.
"Er-gath-oh-wah"
Ur-ga-tho-ah*
I did the best I could with my accent, and it's better then the way I was saying her name before this video so I'm happy with what I put out lol
Holy shit she’s terrifying
What's wrong with our Pallid party princess?!
@@SirVertigo I mean uh.. she’s hot? 😂
@@Runeforged you can't just go bad mouthing peoples God man, you never know who's a follower of who lol
@@SirVertigo Haha true. Wake up with something munching on my heart wouldn’t be nice.
Best goddess. Would simp.
The plague and disease part doesn't really fit her. It feels just tacked on. Don't really see how that has anything to do with hedonism, gluttony, and self-pleasure over all else.
Anyway. Hail Slannesh and Urgathoa.
Sexual hedonism and gluttony cause illness? 🤷
commercial: super loud.
video: can't even hear it.
Hmm, on my phone, I hear it fine and on my audio equipment I was just below the over exposed volume limiter, so I'm not sure why that is? I'll try to tweak settings and improve it though, thank you for the feedback!
@@SirVertigo I do live shows and my volume is always messed up. And we also do prechecks, upon prechecks.
@@qt2046 that makes me feel a bit better, that was my first time recording during the day, I usually only record around midnight or later due to my daughters in the house lol
First. :sunglasses:
