What Is Pathfinder? The Complete Lore, World, and History Explained
Pathfinder is a tabletop RPG set on a planet called Golarion, and its lore runs ten thousand years deep. This video covers everything: where the game came from, what makes the world work, who the major gods are, how the planes are structured, and why the current era is called the Age of Lost Omens.
We cover Earthfall and the Starstone, the death of Aroden and how it broke prophecy, the nations of the Inner Sea from Cheliax's diabolist empire to Rahadoum's atheist republic, the major deities from Pharasma to Rovagug, the Great Beyond cosmology, the Pathfinder Society, and the active threats shaping the current setting including Tar-Baphon, the surviving Runelords, and the Godsrain.
