I know it’s probably never going to happen
But the mental image of a family dinner of Pazuzu, Lamashtu , and Deskari amuses me especially because Lamashtu is essentially Deskari’s stepmother
And you thought your in-laws were bad
Wow. I want a gods of Golarion sitcom now. Like, that's 70s show vibes but with the different gods lol
😂
You can have it happen in your game if you want.
It's weird how Lamashtu is played up in lore to be one of the most evil of the pathfinder gods, but has some of the least restrictive Anathema of the evil gods
I think it's more about the edicts.
Playing as a Lamashtu follower or having one in your party would be very difficult though. Not because of the extra dimension of having an evil PC or running an evil campaign that doesn't descend into murder hoboing, but because first time they're blinded by an enemy- the Lamastu Cleric won't be curing the party and if they're a different class they won't be allowed to accept healing. Depending on the flavor, they wouldn't be able to accept healing for ability damage under the strictest interpretation of the anathema. If the character receives unholy powers from Lamashtu, that could be a problem. The only way I could see getting around that is you'd have to first conduct a ritual to ask Lamastu or an emissary of hers yourself, with the reasoning that the goal of the adventure is serving Lamastu and this isn't like healing a disability someone has lived with for a long time
@@AbsolXGuardian Clerics don't have to be the designated heal-bot of the party. You can use Druids, Bards, and even Sorcerers who's bloodline gives them access to the Divine spellbook. As for restoring ability score damage, bare in mind that Lamashtu's faith encourages survival of the fittest. I could see her allowing the use of magical healing for the purpose of getting her devoted followers back into proper fighting shape, instead of leaving them crippled for the rest of their lives.
Getting better every time!
Thank you, that means alot! I've been putting time into learning my programs and new editing techniques so I'm glad to hear that's shining through!
Ayyyy using Lamashtu in my campaign, haven’t stayed up on your gods vids because they havent been relevant but glad to have this.
Absolutely horrific. Thank you for the perfect Halloween video
Played a goblin follower of lemashtu in 2e
He was a char hide bard who mainly used alchemist fires to burn his enemies and would kill birds to create shrines to her in inns and taverns.
Fun character- shit system.
I think a char hide goblin would be a cool follower of zon kuthon also!
Good stuff as always!
I love your video thank you so much for the content! It's so hard to find accurate and fun Pathfinder lore videos. Most video are just people reading from the books, and are a bit dull. But I love your unique style and story telling and just everything!!! also 1 of my PCS just got pregnant (in game) I might be an evil DM and implement this deity bwahahah 💜 also hope u feel get well soon!
I got a fantasy world of my own that I'm building. In it, Lamashtu is the patron of shapeshifters and predators, in both the human and animal concepts. Her cults enjoy tactics of stealth and assassination and like to move into small towns and hunt for lone travelers at night. The murders excite a panic that they like to take advantage of, tossing blame on enemies and rivals.
I'm particularly fond of God's being used in different ways. I had a god in an old home brew that was supposedly the god of tragedies, and you would see his clerics out in about in towns where someone prominent was going to die soon, and they would be just doing good deeds trying to help cushion the blow in a few days time. In truth, he's the god of assassinations, and this ruse was an excuse for his followers to be seen world wide without needing to hide themselves as they traveled.
Eventually my party figured out parts of this connection and they would get super paranoid anytime I mentioned a cleric was around lol
I'm somewhat ashamed of how much I love Lamashtu as a goddess. Bitch get's shit done (and don't pretend she would dislike that title). Lamashtu is the single strongest argument imo against the notion that Asmodeus is one of the two primal beings of creation, cause what sort of eldritch god lets a relative newcomer waltz in and carve out a piece of his realm along with an entire pantheon for herself? And his only retribution is marking her up with Rovagug in the people he won't make deals with? Why does she need to make deals with you when she can just take whatever she wants? You want domain over beasts but a pesky god has already claimed it? Just lure him to your home, beset him with an army of demons, and then eat his very divinity because just devouring his soul like a daemon is beneath your alpha status. Lamashtu just radiates Chad/Insanity Wolf/girl boss energy, and her clerics can potentially be pretty chill for serving a demon goddess, so long as they fall more in line with her philosophies of motherhood and empowering the downtrodden above the self-mutilation and natural selection aspects. Chaotic Evil is so often a token, stereotyped alignment, but Lamashtu and her worshippers make it work in a way that's both compelling and interesting.
You put it perfectly lmao. I f***ing love Lamashtu. I got into researching her when figuring out how I was gonna roleplay my Wrath of the Righteous character and got obsessed in the process. One of my favorite deities by far.
I agree with you some what girl but you gotta realize that she was also a pickmeisha who would have anybody didn't care that they couldn't provide for her demon babies
Awesome as always! I'm really looking forward to more gods and goddesses. Especially Calistria!
Great work on the Mother of Monsters
Hope you feeling better
I'm starting to! The Antibiotics are definetly showing improvement now so I am getting back to normal, thank you!
These videos are great man ty!
мне понравилось =) лайк и ком в поддержку канала , для алгоритмов ютуба .
Nice video, enjoyed it. Now I shall watch the rest!
As an aside - any chance of a Cayden Cailean episode?
Oh yea, Cayden has been asked for a lot! I've got a few discord requests to do first, then I'll tackle Cayden!
The only thing I knew about Lamashtu was the things on Kingmaker, there she seens like a very OK godess, like, barely evil. I even thout she was a misuderstood neutral godess of nature.
technically speaking, if you look at RPG books, you can worship her as neutral I think. and there is 'heretical' offshoot of her cult that worships her as a truth of nature - like Red Queen. Even gives those heretical clerics Truth domain.
Yeah. Whether they try or not, No society is perfect 100% of the time, and in Kingmaker she comes off as a good safety net to keep around. “eccentric” perhaps, but kinda darkly benevolent.🤷♂️
Nice!!
Awesome series- i really like the presentation, you plan to cover all gods like this?
I sure do! I have only Zon-Kuthon left and I've covered all the evil aligned gods, and I'll get back around to them as soon as I catch up on video requests, then on to the good ones!
@@SirVertigo desna!! great vids man 👑
She’s very fucked up villain and i love it. Pathfinder gods are amazing
They really are. For upper Beings, there's alot of very interesting history there!
For the algorithm!
Lamashtu is a Mesopotamian goddess. This form is based on the Hebrew version, named Lilutu, or Lilith.
The Munsters are a Lamashtu Cult!? I KNEW IT!
I'm trying to find info on the seven witches, anyone know where I can find explicit info on them?
You can find them mentioned in the Lord of Chaos book from 1st edition, but unfortunately, this is all it says.
"In her Abyssal Realm, she is further served be her favored daughters, seven powerful demonic sorceresses called the Seven Witches."
I don't believe this has ever been expanded on honestly.
I want to note Lamashtu and Pazuzu relationship with children i and mothers is actually part of real world mythology and religion. In ancient Mesopotamia as a matter of fact.
Ah yes, Lamashtu, the goddess of furries.
have they changed desna? her artwork looks different.
Well, truly Desna doesn't have a concrete look. She has a few different forms, I just thought the new form from the mwangi expanse was particularly cool looking so I went with it!
@@SirVertigo was just curious as that new artwork she reminded me of the goddess of aurora borealis
No mention of Uvaglor? There's more to the rivalry of Lamashtu and Pazuzu than you realize, good sir. There's heresy to be found, but the knowledge may be your undoing. Tread carefully, Pathfinder. My final bit of advice, seek the mysteries of the cult of Ashava before digging into secrets long buried.
Oh I knew of Uvaglor but to be honest, I wasn't sure how important he was. The sources I used for this video didn't even mention him.
I used Inner Sea Gods (1e), Gods and Magic (2e) Rise of the Runelords (just in case), Book of the Damned and I think it was.. Sins of the Savior? But I never saw much mention of Uvaglor so I didn't mention him! I'm planning a few notable videos, like Notable demons, or notable mages etc hell get a mention in one of them I'm sure lol
Remember guys:
If the bard refers to her as a mother, then he is safe
If he calls her a milf, he must be replaced
If he calls her mommy, death is the only cure, I'm afraid
Wise sage wisdom 👍
Pathfinder has some rather evil evil gods.
Здравствуйте ! Нам в России , понравились ваши Истории про Лор Следопыта ! Вы не будете против , если мы позаимствуем некоторые элементы вашей истории в своих видео ? :) Hello ! We in Russia loved your Lore Pathfinder Stories! Would you mind if we borrow some elements of your story from our videos? :) )
Можете ли вы дать мне представление о том, что вы планируете взять в долг? Я не против того, чтобы вы использовали некоторые клипы, если это не прямая копия, и мне, пожалуйста, приписывают работу, которую я вложил!
Надеюсь, это понятно, я использую гугл переводчик!
@@SirVertigo We agree, I will send you a video in advance for review :) Мы согласны , я пришлю вам видео заранее на обозрение :)
@@SirVertigo You have very interesting stories and great video editing :) The affairs with Lor Pathfinder in our country are very very bad = /, and we want to fix it. Thank you for your hard work! :)
Not a Pathfinder player yet, but didn’t Nocticuli become a goddess?
She has, she's risen to Deity status and if I'm not mistaken, she's also lost her evil alignment! I plan to discuss that in her specific video, that's the only reason I didn't mention it here!
Are demon lords considered minor gods or no? I though Nocticula ascended to godhood and am confused why she's being put with other demon lords.
Mainly because nocticula only recently was raised to godhood, and I was speaking of her status that covered the majority of her history. When I get around to a nocticula vid, I'll explain that a bit better.
@@SirVertigo Ah ok thanks.
This was click bait for me. Lamashtu is probably my favorite evil goddess.
I will make offerings of screw top wine McDonalds hamburgers and clips from instagram to gain her favor!
My narcissistic hierophant cleric of himself wants to establish a relationship with the demon queen with the reasoning that they will enhance one another's features when compared side by side. He also argued that when others saw the uncrossable gulf between themselves and his perfection, they'd give up on beauty and join Lamashtu, if they didn't worship him on principle.
It's little alliances like these that enable him to make his portfolio all-encompassing. The separatist archetype lets clerics choose from an expanded list of domains, and the way my PC goes about it is by secretly giving access to pantheonic power.
Dang she was the original pickmeisha y'all! 😂
