Mythender in Golarion, a skin set in the Pathfinder Roleplaying ...

A GolArion Corrupted by MythIn the world of Paizo’s Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, the myriad of gods are locked in eternal contest over their own realms and influence over mortals. Some are benevolent and emotional, some are harsh but still caring, some revel in corruption and strife, some in pure destruction, and that is to say nothing of those who are wholly alien in mind-set.

In Mythender Roleplaying Game, the gods clash with each other to be sure, but they all draw power from the worship of mortals. As agents or manifestations of the Mythic World itself, these gods and their monstrous servitors keep mortalkind in fear and awe so that the Mythic World itself may thrive. All gods—even the “good” ones—must be Ended.

So hey, let’s smash those two ideas together: use Mythender to play mortals infused with Mythic Power who dare to End the gods of Golarion, only to risk becoming gods themselves.

WhAt you need to KnoWSince this is to be played in Mythender, clearly you should know how that game works mechanically and thematically. For those who don’t, it’s free to download! Visit the website, MythenderRPG.com, for the book, sheets, and handouts.

You can’t really play in Golarion if you don’t know the world. Information about the gods can be found on the Pathfinder Wiki, pathfinderwiki.com. While this doesn’t use the rules from Pathfinder RPG Mythic Adventures, we draw heavy influence for the new Mythic Hearts from its

mythic paths, which you can read about on the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game’ Reference Document at paizo.com/prd.

in this pACKetThere are six replacement Hearts, each based on one of the six mythic paths in Mythic Adventures. (And you thought I overused “mythic” in the core Mythender book…) Each one ties the Mythender to being renown in the world for their Mythic Power (If it helps to envision these characters from a Pathfinder standpoint, think of them as 20th-level/10th-tier.) Each also has a Fate quick-pick, based on a god they might become—though tweak, mix and match, or choose or make other Fates for your Mythenders as in normal creation.

There are two new Pasts to: one reflecting the zero-to-hero trope of fantasy adventuring (called the Overlooked) and one based on being a former slave—on one of Golarion’s themes of enslaved people fighting for freedom. The Child Past from the core book should be removed, as the Slave replaces its dark tone.

Finally, what is a Mythic World without gods to End? This project includes up six difficult gods—including a heretical write-up of Aroden!—along with servitors for immediate use. You’ll see some new Myth tricks in here, which we encourage you to play with in other Mythender games (and are released under Creative Commons; see Legal). We leave the rest of the gods and lesser Myths to you all to create.

AdditionAl CreAtion QuestionsIn addition to the six questions generated from picking a Heart and a Past, this build has two more questions to root it in the fantasy adventure theme—one based on your race or

ethnicity and one based on a legendary item that has come into your possession. These are fun optional questions; answer them if they help you come up with a cool character.

What qualities do you possess that embody and exemplify your race or people?

What legendary item do you possess, and how has it forged itself into your heroic story?

Abjurers, conjurers, diviners, enchanters, evokers, illusionists, necromancers, transmuters, and even universalists have one thing in common: their understanding of magic is flawed. It’s incomplete, and the Archmage of Golarion knows this, for only you hold a full understanding of every single arcane force and all cosmic influences, and you will use this to usher in a majestic new age of mortal magic.

Fate Quick-Pick: God of StormsYour Dream is of eternal turbulence, of calm seas one moment and hurricanes the next. Mortals beseech you to for safe travel, for good harvest, for rain in times of drought, and for you to curse their enemies. Do you accept their sacrifices? Do you even care about mortalkind?

For Tutorial BattleIf this is anyone’s first battle, use the tutorial battle chapter in Mythender, and instead of the above stats and Gifts, use those for the Einherjar on page 212 of Mythender.

When Queen Abrogail I signed the infamous infernal contract decades ago, the nation of Cheliax quickly ended its civil war and rose to prominence under the unrelenting guidance of diabolists bound to Asmodeus’s will. Should anyone on Golarion displease the Prince of Darkness, he would think nothing of commanding an entire nation to mobilize and destroy his foes.

The ruling House Thrune commands hundreds of devils granted by the contract, who in turn support its legions of humanoid troops. It conjurers are among the best the world has ever known, and the fearsome Hellknights would gladly ride to Cheliax’s aid.

Legend has it that Asmodeus was the first light, the first life that the multiverse ever knew, and he has mercilessly demanded obedience and adherence to a hierarchy that ranks him at the very top. From his throne in Hell, he orchestrates the corruption of free will, tempting those weak-willed with promises of power in exchange for signing a simple contract. He is entirely confident that not only is he the first in this existence, but he shall also be the last and greatest.

His power is such that a coalition of all of the other gods could only manage to seal him away—and even then imperfectly.

the AnGeliC host



• Sureness with the Precise and Unyielding upgrades


Sarenrae’s realm on Nirvana is thick with angels who keep all but her faithful from ever approaching in sight of her palace. Sarenrae preaches that redemption is possible for all, and each angel is a mortal soul that she has molded to match her ironically unforgiving dogma. Her host carries into battle unbreakable blades and equally unshakeable conviction, for they know that they are Good—thus, anything that dares threaten or even question their goddess is Evil.

The world believes that Aroden, the god of humanity and innovation, perished a century ago, but only a Mythender could ever End the Last Azlanti; he has secretly steered world events from the safety of his staged death. The catastrophic relics of his demise are in fact his greatest weapons: the Eye of Abendego, a kingdom-crushing hurricane; his herald Iomedae, who has served as his puppet replacement; and the soul-rending collapse of his religion, which has been the catalyst for tumultuous changes that allow him to reshape the world as he wills. Many failed Mythenders—Cayden Cailean, Norgorber, and others—have joined the Mythic World by his hand.

• Relentlessness


When the aboleths called upon the Starstone to shatter Golarion, they sought to destroy their errant creation known as humanity. The impact killed millions and cast the world in darkness for millennia. When the skies finally cleared, the Azlanti were all but gone, either slain outright or crossbred with lesser bloodlines to the point of obscurity.

Death is no obstacle for The Last Azlanti. If Aroden sees fit, he can summon the spirits of his people in all their forgotten glory. The Azlanti wield weapons and magic lost and never quite rediscovered during the Age of Darkness. They are battle-hardened by innumerable conflicts with cyclopses and serpentfolk. Above all, they are unstoppable specters hell-bent on reclaiming the world that was once theirs.
