"It worked! ...so they put that universe aside and made a second universe."
This is such a funny line.
Nicer than just flooding the world to reboot your creation 😅
@@theactorsdungeon3898tbf, god was in his abuse arc and didn’t have Moses to tell him to like, not kill everybody cuz they won’t listen. God sorta goes through a character arc throughout the Bible
I lost it at "The elves came back and told him not to do that."
Pathfinder elves: "It's not a request, it's advice for healthy living."
"Halflings being irrelevant for 7 minutes straight"
Also the dwarves were a funny mess: One Kingdom -> five kingdoms, everybody but the first one dies, repeat
I get the feeling someone at Paizo played a lot of Dwarf Fortress, and based their Dwarf lore around it.
Summary of Dwarven history on Golarion: And then (insert disaster here) killed everyone.
Small note for anyone curious.
Thr aboleth did not misjudge the size of the star stone, they had summoned a big enough rock, but two of the old human gods(possibly more idk) sacrificed themselves to reduce the impact from "world destroying" down to just "apocalyptic"
I think the implication was that they made it *too* powerful, so instead of just destroying Azlant and the humans as they intended, it destroyed them too (and would have destroyed the planet itself if not for said sacrifice).
@ScipioAfricanus01 It's been a while since I was heavy into the lore so I might be misremembering it but as far as I know, they intended to completely wipe out all the surface races and start again later.
@@Maurcusj777 yep, and they did not all die, they knew its coming and hide.
Honestly I have no idea what the aboleth plan was, like congratulations, you just destroyed a world and possibly started multiversal Armageddon by releasing Rovagug... And don't aboleths live in Golarion? I guess they could have gone to another plane, but still, that world would have been unusable if their plan succeeded.
Cayden Cailean is my favourite deity for this exact reason.
Bro went on a bender and woke up a god, I would watch that if it were to become a TV show 😂
It was all a drunken bet. Mad lad made it happen.
I want this so badly, especially if it was framed like The Hangover with him trying to retrace his steps to figure out how the fuck he pulled it off
@@mrrodgers0 There is a fountain on a plazza near the Starstone Cathedral where it is said Caiden took a piss before passing the test. This is a place of pilgrimage.
The great god of ''hold my beer''
Bro did the Test of the Starstone smashed. And little known fact, a paizo dev said he was actually doing the test, while drinking. Meaning one hand was always on an ale.
Wow, if we are going to get this passing "Let's try other systems because that company tried to screw us" phase to stick, we need to do a LOT MORE OF THIS!!!!
As I recall, Lorefinder did some really interesting videos as well.
To be fair, 5e sucked ass before corporate made it cool 😆
What company tried to screw you?
@You cant beat K wizards of the coast by making a garbage edition of dnd
@@ximbabwe0228 You're nearly a decade late to noticing.
Love that Halflings is just there, and suddenly slaves
Halflings just being there all of a sudden with no one knowing how or why is pretty much their thing since the original hobbits.
Probably some screwy fairy stuff
>Calling Rovagug Cthulhu
>Cthulhu also exists in Golarion
As convouted as a lot of that seems to be... I *really* like the lore that humans were created by ancient psychic abominations as a servitor race, but ended up chilling out after surviving an apocalypse.
it's consistent with the h.p. lovecraft side of pathfinder
Spoiler's for the Mountains of Madness, but that's straight up the plot of that book, isn't it?@@clintonbehrends4659
Perfect timing for all us folks just getting into Pathfinder 2e.
Hear, hear!
This is a masterpice.
Fun Fact About Rovagug:
The Place Rovagug is locked in is a demi plane know as the Dead Vault (Inside of golarion)
He has kids!
Great Spawn
Ulunat
Kothogaz
The Tarrasque
Chemnosit
Volnagur
Lesser Spawn
Crawling Hunger
Gray-Stag-Devourer
Emkrah
You can also find some of his servants near the pit of Gormuz
Galulab'daa
The Slohr
Trilochan
The Weeper
Yigachek
Seeing the Tarrasque in Pathfinder (with accompanying lore) made me unreasonably excited!
It is popularly said that the gnomes left the First World for the Material Plane out if curiosity, but it is heavily implied that they may have been cast out of the Fey because they followed an Eldest (pretty much a fey god) who's name has since been struck from history because he stole a piece of the River of Souls to introduce mortality to the curious gnomes. The first gnomes to arrive on Golarion had no souls and so when they perished they were essentially deleted with no afterlife and almost went extinct because they lost many of their fey attributes (hiding in shadows, much of their shape-shifting ability). Buuuut their children were born with souls and now must endlessly pursue new and interesting things or they will become a bleachling. I love gnomes
***edit***
So the gnomes DID have souls in the fey, they just weren't tied to the river of souls. They reincarnated in the fey like the rest of the fey creatures. Losing their connection to the First World without having a connection to the River of Souls is what ultimately destroyed the spirits of the immigrant gnomes. But their children being born here had that connection, fortunately. The migration nearly caused the gnomes to go extinct.
In "First World - Realm of the Fey," an in-universe document that a *different* in-universe document notes indicates might be a transcription of an interview with Shyka the Many, one of the Eldest and thus someone who would definitely know (and by far one of the most trustworthy of them, to boot), gnomes have been going through portals for various reasons for countless centuries. Exiled, tricked by the Lantern King, driven out by plague, and even just curious; the story you mentioned is recounted as well, though it doesn't claim the gnomes didn't have souls before, just that they hadn't been tied to the cycle of life and death.
@@UrLeingod thank you for that bit of info about the gnomes having souls. I know their souls, when tied to the First World, would simply reincarnate so nobody truly experienced real death in the Fey. I don't know why I said they didn't have souls lol.
But Shyka the Many is going to be a big part of my campaign I'm running. This is my first time being a DM and currently there is a bit of a time Paradox because of something that happened with one of my characters in a previous campaign. The overarching theme is for the players to find the source of the Paradox and stop it from happening to prevent a "Conjunction of Spheres". In my setting, the lines between the Fey and Material plane are thinning... and inadvertently this is also causing the barrier between the material plane and shadow plane to weaken. There's a lot of fun mechanics to explore in the fey so I have my work cut out for me in my first campaign. :)
This is fantastic and now I want this in "the history of japan i guess" style. Which it's already really close to! "The dwarves united. But then all the dwarves outside Highhelm ~*died in a tornado*~ so the orcs took over. The dwarves were like 'please give those back' and the orcs said no. So they killed all the orcs and took back the cities. 'yay!' Then all the dwarves outside Highhelm ~*died in a tornado*~".
"You're a Sargavan chief. But oh no, Cheliax is coming to take your stuff. How do you stop Cheliax from taking your stuff?"
HIRE A FREE CAPTAIN
Let's check on the dwarves.
~The dwarven kingdoms are whole again!~
~And then they broke again!~
So a demon lord went to Kyonin and attempted to open a portal to the aby--
*Knock knock. It's the elves.*
The main takeaway was the noodle fish taught humans to wiggle their fingies and make magic.
You should make a whole channel with just more in depth videos about PF. This is awesome
One of my favorite thing about the pathfinder setting book I had was how jn the timeline, it says how Cheliax was waiting for Aroden’s return to bring the Age of Glory and then it’s immediately followed by The Age of Darkness, Aroden dying being the first point a year later.
At least one guy: "What about halflings?"
The rest of the universe: "What ABOUT halflings?"
Dwarves never seem to catch a break no matter what universe they're from...
The gods made the Fey, put all the sliders to 100. Said "this is OP" and build the Material Plane. More balanced but still crazy. All the creatures and gods came about and did some dumb stuff that killed the planet. BUT IT LIVED! Humans are harder to kill than roaches, Dwarves don't know when to quit building kingdoms, elves bounced when then world died, gnomes need to party to survive, halflings, orcs and dwarves sprung up out of the ground, and goblins are people blood.
@@savannahb435that's unironically a good summary of the core races' history in Golarion lol. well, idk about halflings. literally, idk anything about them, someone help
The fact that the gods made the First World with all its plants, creatures, and people, and then just said “lol bye our test run is over!” was so messed up.
There’s a section in the First World book from PF1e where a fey says something along the lines of “We made the mistake of thinking we were first as in ‘firstborn’ when really we were first as in ‘first draft’”
"The reason was simple, understandable, and all the more horrible for it. We knew we were the first of our kind, you see, but we made the mistake of thinking that made us special. That we were first as in “firstborn,” when really it was first as in “first draft.” They had dabbled and practiced, created the clay and shaped us from it, given us life and thoughts and love. And then, when the model was perfected, the practice round complete, they swept the workspace clean and started fresh.
"They didn’t even bother to lie to us.
"Creatures from the Material Plane can’t understand what it means to be without gods. Even those who actively reject them still define themselves by their denial. They’re like angry children who refuse to speak to their parents, pretending they’re not there. We, on the other hand, watched our parents step onto a ship and sail away, never to return. Not because they couldn’t take us with them, but because they simply didn’t care." -Shyka the Many
@UrLeingod freaking brutal. Man the gods are dicks.
@@UrLeingod damn, that's rough buddy
Nailed it, Pathfinder lore is wild
You literally make the perfect videos for my taste. Straight to the point, no unnecessary filling-text so it's easy to understand everything (I'm not a native english speaker, kudos to you), and the editing is just perfect for me (easy to edit-in-bulk simplistic stock photo images without CGI or special effects (so it's not straining to the creator), but tastefully cooked together, and most importantly: the visuals illustrate the audio and is perfectly synced with it).
You are a great youtuber, and the Pathfinder community needs you.
Excellent explaining, I would love to see full series made out of pathfinder lore from you.
As a note, I love how unsubtle Golarion is in its being Fantasy Earth in its map/worldbuilding.
The sunken old glorious kingdom even being called Azlant.
Edit- the solar system also has a Mars-equivalent red planet which is sorta "John Carter but in Pathfinder"
And then you realize the fact that Earth is canonically within the Material Plane of Pathfinder's canon and it just gets funnier.
@@ArceusShaymin THEY'RE MULTIPLYING
@@ArceusShaymin And Said Earth is where you can find Cthulhu.
@@BlackTalonGaming wait wha-??
@@fabrizioart1928 and fight rasputin, also baba yaga is canon
There was also that one time that a giant alien spaceship that came from another planet crashed into the land of Conan barbarians, and destroyed the environment while leaving a bunch of sci-fi laser guns and other cool stuff laying around. The aliens who created this ship were actually Humans, but not the Humans created by the squid-fish who wanted to rule stuff, and these alien Humans were lazy so they created a bunch of fake Humans with cool tattoos to do everything for them. Unfortunately all but one of these alien Humans aboard the spaceship died during the crash, and the one that did survive was assassinated by the group of Conan wizards she recruited to help her go home because they wanted all the cool sci-fi stuff.
The Conan wizards then started to horde all the laser guns and enslaved the fake Humans because "synths aren't real people", then started enslaving real people because they're kinda evil and everyone in the land of Conan and Space Robots had a bad time for a long time.
Quickest video covering all of pathfinder lore. Now someone has to do it in 1 minute.
Well, Yog-Sothoth was actually there with Pharasma.
I've been trying to learn about pathfinder lore, what a great jumping off point. Also, kinda has "history of the entire world I guess" energy
Good job, this is much easier and well put than me explaining everything to my new players.
Just to add, from the fact that their are humans native to Avistan, Tian Xia, and Garund who seem to have existed there before meeting the Azlanti or their descendants, I think a better way of describin the Aboleths is they 'uplifted' primitive humans into the Azlanti, rather than creatin them themselves.
As somebody who's getting used to the lore this was both really fun and informative.
Thanks a lot ^-^
Pretty neat. Thank you for making this easy-to-digest Pathfinder lore video.
One small issue, very minor but just thought I'd add that pharasma isn't the only survivor of the last universe. All the outer gods and great old ones are also from the last one.
I need more of this, it's like Bill Wurtz for pathfinder
Hahha! This is very funny and well done.
What makes it great is Golarion's lore is 90% mumb-jumbo so when you hear something, you think, "Ahh OK that's what happened...umm.. OK yea."
Your channel is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much. The comedy, pacing, story and information delivery is just perfect.
Color me intrigued and amused. I like it.
Digestible and funny lore at the same time is never a bad thing. :)
When you literally make me fall in love in 50 seconds, this channel is awesome!!!
Great Vid! Really helpful! The deities are so interesting in PF2E, if not a little intimidating.
Thank you so much for making this video it's a real TH-cam move.
Now do a pathfinder to StarFinder. Honestly it’s literally just “we forgot, that one planet at the beginning is gone, yet safe. And people go about their lives”. Could be wrong. Been a bit since I read the lore
Love how Garund gets about 3 sentences in this.
This has given me great inspiration! Thanks!
This was really silly but very educating. Thank you :D
Alright this is GLORIOUS. I I need more of these, so many many more!
This was good, please make more lore videos!
Hi. I'm new to your videos and I'm really impressed. Gobbling up all you offer! Awesome stuff!
Wasn't there a deity that died minimizing the damage from Starstone's impact by pulling the moon in front of it?
Very enjoyable intro to the lore
As a history major, I approve this video. 👏🎲
Holy *Bleep* It had to be Cheliax!. I have finally experienced the glory of playing pathfinder for the first time since July and Cheliax was constantly brought up every time. Now I decided to listen to lore and learned where exactly did they came from.
As someone new to p2e, Loved this!
I'm about to start playing 2e and rolling a cleric. I may use this as how my character's head priest explains the world's creation
This video is so good, OMGs!
Arazni has such a cool story... from hero to angel to lich to a freebeing.
O neat a mashup of all the other fantasy creatives not named Tolkien but still based on Tolkien.
This is an excellent super-summary!
Ah fuck. Now i'm into another whole lore.
Awesome! Please, more lore in 7min!
So is the Critical Role setting based off of the Pathfinder Lore?
CR 's first episodes were run with pathfinder 1, so it's very possible
WOOO! Another great video. Can we haz moar? Pleaz!? Kthxbai…
In all seriousness I love your style of humor. The fact that I get to enjoy it while being educated is just icing on the cake. Can we get a "Pathfinder 2e Lore in 7 More Minutes or Less"? Followed up by "Pathfinder 2e Lore in 7 More More Minutes or Less, sorta?"
What a great video! Please do more!
Thanks. Video is really helpful. Liking and subscribing.
Well that clears it all up. Ty.
Yo, you forgot the entire Thassilonian bit. Kinda important.
That was a great summary, thanks mate
3:33 here he is. Best god. All hail Nethys the All-Seying Eye.
This is fantastic!
Could you produce something similar to this but around the closing of the world wound or the destruction of the runelords??? I would love it!!
Poor dwarves. Constantly getting kicked around.
You gotta tell people about the demons on the moon, the demons on the moon are iconic.
Thank you, very cool
The creation of the universe has conflicting information depending on which book you choose to believe. While the Windsong Testaments does claim Pharasma was the first to appear from the Seal, and Concordance of Rivals seems to confirm that she might be the oldest being in creation, the Book of the Damned claims that Asmodeus and his brother Ihys were the first motes of light from the Seal, and others came after. You can make of that what you will.
Very very very good video.
I'm curious as to how this ties in with Starfinder. I haven't played Pathfinder since 1e days, and some of this I actually didn't know.
Very concise.
Interesting!
more lore videos pls !
Golarion is just another campaign settings in my Pathfinder 2e universe. Players just adventure, no campaign setting ever mentioned, even if its a demi-plane. All D&D universe lore, campaign settings, monsters, deities, etc. all applies, all the way back to AD&D 1e.
Is this a spoiler vid of stuff revealed in official adventures, or a vid of stuff to know before playing?
this is all very old lore, not something most characters would know but there are no spoilers
Nice overview.
Of course, back in my day the Lore would be delivered In A Minute
Very nice!
yo, make a 7 minutes video of how to gm and how to homebrew in 2e
Thanks for this info dump to this noob. The creation story is, different, for sure.
Juat realized where Matthew Mercer got Tal'dorei from 😆
Hm, so based on what you detailed in this video, nothing of real import has occurred between 1st and 2nd edition...
What about the Alien Starships and laser guns?
very useful intro )
Playing an angel sounds badass. Is it possible to create such a character in pathfinder 2e?
i see no issue with a DM making you into an angel for a higher level adventure path. There's also Aasimar in pathfinder if you want to go the easy route straight from lvl 1 as a mortal.
Rovagug hmmm that sounds like it Was Inspiration for critical role season 3
as far as i'm aware, all of this is 1e lore. theres a bunch of stuff that happened during the course of 1e that could be considered 2e lore (since the source material considers certain consequences of APs canonical), but i didn't recognise any of that in here.
It's true, stay tuned :)
If newcomers ask on how Aroden died.
There is a crazy theory that he made a deal with the eldritch gods when he bought the Starstone up. So yes they exist and known as the dark tapestry. Most of them hitchhiked on that meteor to golarion and when it crashed they left it and slowly sink into mortal cultures.
In lore two known eldritch gods exist near the Starstone. Nhimbaloth and xor something.
Spoilers below for one of the adventure paths.

1
In abomination vaults literally her temple/prison is deep underground from the village of otari which is like half a day travel heading east to absalom city where Starstone is.
Another the Xor being literally could be surrounding the island where absalom is on in that enclosed sea region you see in the map.
In Osiria nyarlathotep was dominant and alive until June of the adventure paths in 1e yiu facs him and “kill” him for good.
There is others but they mostly live near that island. Ppl theorized Aroden made a deal wifh one of them and when the day he was suppose to help humans he “died” either they imprisoned him, or he turn into one of them and became a new eldritch god that is hidden.
Wait, where's Apsu?
Suddenly: Halflings!
How different is this from the lore in 1e?
More please!
Thanks.
One thing I don't like about all fantasy settings is that they are all creasionist , why aren't there fantasy settings where creatures and all sentient species are the result of evolution?
You have to redo this video, but to the tone of the "History of Japan" video PLEASE!
