Nex and Gebb did not seem particularly interesting to me at all but after watching both videos they turned out to be my favourite videos on this channel aside from the religion guides
Imagine how many high level NPCs Nex would have? With all this magic and fantasy, the average town in this realm would be so skilled and arcanely apt. Great video, thanks for sharing this lore with such polish.
I always considered that Nex vs Geb 2: Electric Boogaloo should be the next big thing in Pathfinder, after the Runelords, Whispering Tyrant and Worldwound. Both nations duking it out one more time should have existential levels of threat, if Nex should return and Geb fully become aware again.
I agree. I'm okay with them waiting for a minute though, and having this be a big capstone adventure for 2E or something along those lines. Like Tyrant's Grasp, it should feel really momentous and epic.
I decided a while back when reading the Pathfinder wiki I wanted to make a campaign taking place in Nex called “Three and Nine Angry Men”. I have yet to decide what will actually happen in it, but a good name is a better start than most of my campaigns.
No wayyy. I just made my favorite character yet. And I rolled some random dice to see where he was born and it came up nex. I've been doing research on it wishing you had some content. And here it is!
Amazing work once more. This story feels like it could be an amazing epic. Really glad that you put so much effort in narrating it. Have a wondrous day everyone! Thanks for the vid.
Looks like egyptian inspired region from the thumbnail. I'm sure to watch this vid in it's entirety because of that. Not now, later. Now I'm "binge watching"(in between working/sleeping and such ofc) your vids on gods and different outsiders. I wonder, do you plan to make a vid about azatas? I've been curious about them since I heard of them in Wrath of the Righteous.
You should consider ending your videos with a little more of an outro, like a hint at what youll cover next. I just find they tend to cut off rsther suddenly. Other than that, excellent video as always :)
I did this originally (old videos have an outro) but I started to find that they added to video length without adding anything substantial to the video itself. I'm trying now to get most of my CTAs in the intro and see how that goes, but if I get a few more comments that say they like the outros - who knows - I might just bring them back.
Great video! Your deep dives into Garund are amazing and are one of the highlights of my week when they come out. Question: When will the central Mwangi video drop? Also will you be briefly covering the nations of southern Garund? (Chauxen, Dehrukani, Droon, Holomog, Eihlona, Kaz'ulu, Murraseth, Nurvatcha, Tirakawhan)
Here is my Garundi order in sequence for now. Next up is Alkenstar, then Shackles, then Sodden Lands, then Central Mwangi. Since my Deep Dives alternate between Avistan and those are only every 3 vids, that's... quick math... only 24 weeks! Really sorry for the long wait, I know that one is hotly anticipated. There's a reason I'm going in this order tho! As for other Garundi locations; probably yes eventually. In the meantime though I have a "Ships of the Inner Sea" region video due out around the time Shackles is in which I will touch on some of those regions you mention.
Amazing! A new one already! Now I know how I spend my evening. Thank you again for all your effort. You're seriously a blessing for the Pathfinder community.
Interesting. This is an interesting location, being a “nation” essentially made of a Union of 3 city-states with 3 very different cultures. My favorite region of Golarion remains Varisia (especially Magnimar), but Nex is pretty cool too and worth a visit.
Hey Mr. Mythkeeper, I started watching your videos with the Geb deepdive, because the city of the undead concept caught my eye and I wanted to look more into Pathfinder at the time, and now I've watched through most of your videos. It got me to look into some of the Pathfinder lore myself, and I was wondering if you would ever do a video on the Sahkils. When I found them, I thought their concept of spiteful fear spreaders that, when you get down to it, just like messing with people was pretty neat to me, but they didn't seem to have too much written on them that I could find. Maybe there isn't much more than what I saw, so it might not make a super long video, but since they're related to psychopomps, I guess they'd go there. Anyways, I think your videos are pretty cool, so keep it up. Also having watched both the Geb and Nex videos now, I gotta say, Geb (the guy) might be evil, but Nex just seems like a real prick. But I may be biased since I think undead are neat.
You're absolutely correct. Nex was just as much of a bad guy as Nex, and Geb's descent into madness was at least partly due to Nex messing with him. As for Sahkils, have no fear, soon enough they will get their own dedicated video.
What is the Ancestry of... 32:48 · Grand Architect Oblosk · Kasesh (Earth Elemental) · Architect · Male 33:05 · Prime Seer Iranez of the Orb · Human (Gebbite) · Resurrected Witch Defector to Nex · Female 33:42 · Arclord Agrellus Kisk · Human (Nex) · Wizard · Male ※ The Ancestry of an NPC is always a key fact to include ※
Is there a special meaning behind the style of swords the people of Nex wield? Because the choice, to make swords with seemingly no crossguard and that peculiar pommel gives a rather striking visual.
The only thing I can think of (besides being a cool design choice) is that they are all wizards, so maybe the lack of hand guard is because the primary purpose is to channel magic (like a wand) and not normal dueling. IDK, just a thought! No official explanation.
Ecanus and Yled in Geb share a great deal of similarities, and i doubt the residents of either city would be particularly happy to know about it lol Including: random magical stuff the authorities don't have proper control of within city limits, just... doing random stuff (the flesh/the bizarre shadow prison under yled) several competing state intelligence services hanging out within the city, a real obsession with body parts, a general siege mentality when the rest of the country seems to forget about the war, and the city's leadership having an issue with magical memory tampering although Ecanus is a military city by way of mad science/psychically instructed supersoldiers while yled is more panopticon meets a really, really neurotic college town
This too seems true to life. Take any two opposing states and compare the ideology of their military complex and it will also likely prove quite similar.
the fashions are even kind of similar, at least in vibe if not literal look to the point i got them mixed up when making a character's outfit and gave a gebbite character a very ecanus-like almost military dress uniform outfit
If I recall correctly, that image is pulled from the Lost Omens: Impossible Lands book when they discuss pets, but if its named, I don't recall what it is.
Always makes the week better when @MythKeeper drops some lore... ...like a wonderful dollop of ice cream atop the steaming fruit covering a delicious stake of 🧇 waffles 🧇 improves breakfast.

It's finally here. Wizard wars part 2: Nex. This has been my most anticipated regional deep dive since the release of the Geb video. 🎉
Yeah I figure this one will be popular! 😅
I love the wording. Makes me wanna add Electric Boogaloo
@@OMartinez91 Go ahead. 😁
Nex and Gebb did not seem particularly interesting to me at all but after watching both videos they turned out to be my favourite videos on this channel aside from the religion guides
@@ayyyyylmao It's all about the presentation ;-) I will say these two were a blast to record and produce.
Imagine how many high level NPCs Nex would have? With all this magic and fantasy, the average town in this realm would be so skilled and arcanely apt. Great video, thanks for sharing this lore with such polish.
Yeah in an MMO, Nex would definitely be considered a 'high-level zone' 😅
You sir, are a Michelin star chef when it comes to dishing out Pathfinder lore.

given the sheer amount of high level casters on either side i imagine it would get very bad very quickly, even without Geb and nex directly involved
😂

Hehe, three and nine angry men - lol
God I love this channel I love getting lost in Golarian for a while every week. Settles the soul
Comments like this are why I keep cranking away week after week. Reading this totally makes my day!
I see a sphynx I auto like. Thanks for the video!
Oh man, I really need to do a Sphinx creature feature then...
"Oh no, an awful offal has eaten part of my city!" ~Someone in Encanus, presumably.

No wayyy. I just made my favorite character yet. And I rolled some random dice to see where he was born and it came up nex. I've been doing research on it wishing you had some content. And here it is!
It is destiny! Thanks for watching, and as always I continue to appreciate your support. Cheers!
Nex is Halruaa and Sigil synthesized into an epic magocracy. This was phenomenal! Thank you :)
And thank you for watching and commenting!
Amazing work once more. This story feels like it could be an amazing epic. Really glad that you put so much effort in narrating it. Have a wondrous day everyone! Thanks for the vid.
Thanks for the kind words as always!
So a Sasuke/ Naturo bromance is the Nex ang Geb story.
The dudes need their pal to prove ho is the coolest jajajajaja
☝
Been very interested in finding out more about nex after your geb video thank you!
You're very welcome! I hope it lives up to the hype!
Oooo! that thumbnail art is intriguing!
You're in for a fun one. This is one of the weirder countries in Golarion.

God I love the Setting for Osirion and Katapesh! Those two areas are just awesome settings to me :)
Osirion is already out, Katapesh is still a little ways out, but coming!
Remember to add this and the other dragon one into the big play list.
'Tis done!
Amazing! A new one already! Now I know how I spend my evening. Thank you again for all your effort. You're seriously a blessing for the Pathfinder community.
You're so welcome, and thanks so much for watching & commenting! 🙂
Not only is the lore deep, varied, and intricate the names of notable figures are absolutely incredible.
Paizo has much to be proud of.
Its a great setting

Nice, I'll look forward to it.
These videos single-handedly convinced me to try out my local pathfinder society. First game is this weekend.
Awesome! I'm so psyched for you
Love this 🎉can’t wait for the next deep dive. I need kelesh dynasty deep dive now!
We'll get there! 😅
Excelent video, one of the bests so far (and all are great)
Glad you think so! Nex is weird and this one was a lot of work 😅
👏👏👏👏👏
What an amazing place 🤩
Yeah, this is a good one.
This is a great one. Really helpful

Man I just cant get enough of these videos!
Thanks for watching and for the kind words!
two in one day. dont spoil us now!
Haha! Yeah, check the community post. It was a mistake on my part. No members vid next week I'm afraid.
@@TheMythKeeper I can live with that. I'll just rewatch some of your past videos.
The creators of lore were so detailed, I almost forgot it's fantasy and not history.
Yeah its really great
Great vid, as always. I eagerly await Absalom!
Megator Facient... I suspect such a place holds many deceptions that are more than meets the eye...
Absolutely!

Join the myth keeper Nex time for the Nex instalment of regional deepdive.
😅
Wait, there is ledgit a tribe called manymen? Do the wish death upon the artist know as 50 cent?😅
Oh yes, but they're the "50 copper pieces" in the Pathfinder world ;-)
29:44 that bat monster you used for the quantium pet, do you know what its called or where its from?
If I recall correctly, that image is pulled from the Lost Omens: Impossible Lands book when they discuss pets, but if its named, I don't recall what it is.
Please dovdeep dives on Vudra and Tian Xian.
Both are in the works
Anybody else feel like Nex and Geb just had a really bad breakup?
You're not the only one making this comment here 🤣
I love Nex for its lore and history. The fact it has no elves is just a very nice bonus.
Elves are booooring
Wow! Elves are boring! Hot takes are flying on this vid...
Literally the only setting to do anything new and interesting with the elves. Show me on this doll where the dark elf touched you.
What in the hells is the grand architect?? That's a new ancestry for me
I’ll discuss the architects ancestry when I get around to doing my Xiomorn video. He’s a member of their weird servitor species. 🤓
geb sounds so much nicer
If you don't get eaten by vampires!
I genuinely think they had a lover's quarrel and were too ashamed to tell the truth to their subjects.
You're not the only one making this comment here 🤣
So many dead wizards...too bad none have beach front property 🤔😉😂
🤔
Nex is the better Wizard and Geb the better Ruler. Tho this is my bias.
oh snp its the rival of Geeeeeeeeeeb. rightious
You're so welcome!
