Pathfinder Lore- Earthfall

[@rendaltumar9430]

Just discovered your channel, and as a Pathfinder DM who struggles with Galarion lore a little bit, I am very excited to see where this channel goes.

[@Atomize6]

Drow of the Darklands. Underdark belongs to WoTC I believe. Great video, Earthfall is one of my favorite Golarion events and you gave a nice run-down on it.

[@SirVertigo]

I thought I kept them seperate but I started with dnd so some dnd terminology might slip in, but thank you for the correction!

[@robertcarter9535]

I have been playing pathfinder since it first came out… But I have to admit unlike dungeons and dragons where I knew the history and lore of the forgotten realms like the back of my hand I never really bothered to learn the history and lore of Golarion. I stumbled across your channel by accident and I am really really thankful to you for putting out these videos I’ve really learned a lot thank you

[@kyotarohimura1637]

Just found your yt channel and I just wanna thank you from Spain for the quality and all the details on each of your videos. Thank you :)

[@arglebargle42]

I'm an old 3.5 fan that wants to get back into the game and I thank you so much for making this series.

[@SirVertigo]

No problem! I've loved doing them so far!

[@blueberrydetective7323]

Great work! I'm excited to see what comes next. Solid editing and audio quality as well

[@SirVertigo]

Much appreciated! Alot of people are liking the Quality so I'm glad to hear that I'm doing well so far.

[@linus4d1]

Love seeing Pathfinder content creators! Keep up the great work!

[@arglebargle42]

Thanks!

[@dice_fumbler]

Thanks for this! I'm escaping from WoTC and jumped to Pathfinder 2e, so this is very helpful!

[@Baccatta]

Excellent video and thanks for adding subtitles. Keep on doing this format.

[@rineu8336]

Just found your channel! I am a new Pathfinder GM and these ressources are perfekt to learn more about the lore and make my games feel more like part of the world. Looking forward to more future content like this!

[@aloseman]

Thank you for making the video. I love lore videos. And thanks for posting it to reddit.

[@kamvex1788]

Great work on this. Love it. A topic I'd be interested in, if there's enough, is Old Mage Jatembe and his revival of magic in the Mwangi Expanse.

[@SirVertigo]

So, I have added Jatembe to my list of topics and researched him a bit. Very cool concept, and while I don't know if there's quite enough to do a video just on him, I think I will do a Ydersius and Jatembe video, just so I can make sure to have enough for a full video.

[@Deepsauron]

Really cool, thank you! I do like that you blend in source-books where the info is

[@Unikatze]

Love the Golarion Lore, thanks for doing these.

[@londonmatthews9565]

Excellent video! James Jacobs has always said they leave pronunciation unofficial so you literally can’t go wrong unless you’re inconsistent :)

[@SirVertigo]

That's good, I'm from the South of America, so my pronunciation is an issue with normal words, let alone Fantasy words lol

[@RandellHamilton]

This was such a pleasure to watch. Excited for the next.

[@copeseticme]

Just found your content. Late to the party. Enjoy it brother looking forward to watching more of your library. Thank you for sharing.

[@TheMapleTable]

Great video!

[@ryans9799]

Thanks for these videos. Good inspiration for my own Pathfinder campaign.

[@isharacomix]

Three months of good work, keep it up!

[@stevendonaldson1216]

Howdy partner, thanks for the lore drops for a new DM. I'm considering using Galarian lore for a campaign i just started. I'm running a gang of Red-skinned Evil Dues (RED) A teifling, a goblin, a hobgoblin and Red Paintd Warforged. I'm so pumped about these guys and I want to surprise my other DM by showing him they're playing in his same world LMAO

[@SirVertigo]

Omg I love the addition of red painted warforged lol I have a player in a 2e game atm, who plays a tiefling Android. His reasoning for the tiefling add on was that he had been in hibernation mode and was discovered and awoken by the real tiefling in our group, and he calibrated to the first living being he saw, so he's assumed the average living person looked like a tiefling and adopted the horns and tail, but now he can't recalibrate lol

[@ljay3025]

I just discovered how crpg’s actually are and Pathfinder is my first so far so im very excited to see these vids

[@bantuanasurimbor4373]

Awesome stuff!

[@KootertheShooter]

This is great. I plan to link it to my campaign so my players have a better understanding of the world they are playing in. Thank you. I look forward to other lore video's. The background of the religious patheons and info on each diety would be very helpful!!! History of the major nations or regions would be amazingly helpful as well. I made sure to subscribe so I can see other lore you may produce. Good luck and thanks again for your efforts.

[@SirVertigo]

It's alot of fun making them, and I think I'll do arcs of content, so this is my ancient arc, and will include aroden and A civilization video for Thassilon and Azlant, then I'll move into other things and I think I'll alternate one video a diety, next video a nation and so on? I think that's the best way I can until I get the big topics covered lol. I'm glad to hear it'll help in your campaign, that's exactly why I'm making them!

[@scopeta8095]

Great video! Thanks!

[@paStLife463]

Playing and loving the Owlcat video game versions of Pathfinder -and loving them!Now I want to learn everything about Pathfinder ☺️

[@JacksonOwex]

Careful! The video games use the first edition rules and the tabletop has moved to 2E! Both are good but are also quite a bit different!

[@pkeef4778]

This was excellent, thank you

[@MrDylan2125]

Really well done. Looking forward to all your future videos.

[@phillorrain]

Good info. I’m into it . Great video series

[@SirVertigo]

Awesome, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it, hopefully they just get better from here!

[@TroySeward]

Great video love Pathfinder.

[@unclegeorge5644]

Great work, you really love PF

[@SirVertigo]

Thank you! That's actually a really nice compliment to receive! I do enjoy pathfinder quite a bit, and I realized theres a dozen or so Dnd lore youtubers out there, and only a couple of Pathfinder lore youtubers, so I thought that I'd throw my hat into the ring!

[@sazboomify]

I really liked this video. Please keep it up!

[@SirVertigo]

Thank you! Will do!

[@ArtCatsGamingFoodbyTinaNoire]

Both sources about Azlanti knowledge of Aboleths could be correct. Aboleths like to work behind the scenes. So it is easy to see an ordinary Azlanti unfamiliar with those monsters. I also read somewhere that Earthfall was revenge for the Azlanti turning on their former masters. So perhaps for quite a while the Aboleths were the unknown powers behind the throne amd when their activity came to light the rejection was very quick (as was the reprisal) so many Azlanti never got that memo.

[@Humatra]

Thank you for making a quality video, I love lore videos.

[@SirVertigo]

Glad you like them!

[@runebendix1909]

fantastisk lore channel, keep up the good work :D

[@joshuarogue9345]

Since the lore on the Azlant lore goes both ways on whether they knew about the source of their knowledge and power. I would say the ruling bodies knew and at a certain level everyone else was told that it was their own species that advanced on its own.

[@camgrover]

I'm looking forward to the next

[@raymuniz3841]

Thank you.

[@brentgreenhalgh5637]

Very nice video.

[@SirVertigo]

I'm aware of that, in the video I mentioned they lived in Nar-voth and began the quest for sky after the Earthfall, but didn't make it to the surface until 300 years after the Erath fall.

[@isark]

Awesome. Just one critique, the music doesn't fit that well

[@glenfairen2996]

Read gardens twice (once when it came out and once when I attempted to read the series). Got half way thought DHG…a little farther the second time. And while the writing is a huge leap from GotM to DHG I just not engaged by it. So I agree with your points. If someone loves Malazan great! But there are better books out there for me to explore.

[@mattkeith1180]

Thank you soooo much! I am getting back into table top rpgs and Pathfinder is by far the most interesting to me, but I don't know the lore that well. Your channel is what I'm looking for. Btw am I hearing a TN accent?

[@SirVertigo]

Wow, scary good guess. Indeed, South Eastern Tennessee, but born and raised in South Carolina lol

[@mattkeith1180]

@@SirVertigo I am from Nashville, so that's why I was able to pick it out. Keep up the good work, Man.

[@inplaid]

I'm from SC and was also pleased to hear a Southern GM haha. It's not a common accent for these kinds of videos so it definitely made me smile Great work on these vids btw!

[@guybrud]

Keep it up lore is fun

[@alexrko2740]

Great job my man. I can’t wait until you get to the Taldan Empire :)

[@SirVertigo]

You and me both! Taldan's so large I think it will have to be an early video!

[@cptmc]

iirc Return of the Runelords had quite a bit of pre-Earthfall geography

[@squidrecluse2336]

[@brendanstuart2088]

Fantastic video, but there is one small thing I need to point out; the map you showed at 1:10 shows the borders of Azlant and Avistan, not Thassilon. Thassilon was limited to modern Varisia and parts of the Lands of the Linnorm Kings. Great video otherwise, hope to see more from you!

[@SirVertigo]

Well, I mainly was going off these photos when I added the glow, bit.ly/3dCKoOH and by lining them up best I could, I got the feeling it did go a bit east, but the photos are hardly a 1 to 1 comparison, You don't even see where the ocean wraps around from Casmaron. Thanks for the info though!

[@onslaught102]

Yu video fue muy util para mi que empiezo en esta historia.

[@LandB2015]

Hell yeh ,great job

[@ChoonMa]

I'm going to go ahead and claim Subscriber #104

[@michaelperkins7135]

Good job! Can you do something on Cheliax?

[@SirVertigo]

Cheliax is on my to-do list, probably around the 4th or 5th video!

[@Law0086]

So we can thank the dwarves for uplifting the orcs. Not bad.

[@picivyvortac2641]

I noticed your "Atlantis" fruedian slip. Lol. It's basically the same thing.

[@Pinewoodpine]

Good job! Enjoyed the video so far! About the conflicting info, I believe (as far as Rule 0 go) that both can be correct at the same time. It's possible that the Azlanti ruler-class knows about the Aboleth's existence and the role they play in their own ascension meanwhile the Azlanti "middle-class" thought that they don't exist or that they're just some conspiracy theory. Sort of like how we treat the Freemasons except in the above scenario, none of the information about the Aboleths are public knowledge at all. Just my two cents.

[@SirVertigo]

I actually had an interesting conversation with Erik Mona, the chief creative office for paizo when I posted this video to the pathfinder reddit, and I specifically asked him about that conflicting info, and he stated this: I asked, so in the days/weeks before earthfall, was it common knowledge of the Aboleths plans for Earthfall?" His response was: "100% yes. At the moment of Earthfall, the Empire had been torn apart over it. The paranoia and fear eventually consumed the whole of its society and threw its lands in political upheaval and revolution. It was a shitshow of cataclysmic proportions. You’ll see. ;)" And he said dead god's hand would be so revealing I'd need an earthfall part 2 video, along with Aroden part 2 lol

[@Pinewoodpine]

I mean, giant meteor incoming - I'm pretty sure a country as advanced as Azlant can see a giant ball of doom approaching them trying to wipe them out weeks prior said meteor approaching. But to think that they knew about the Aboleths? Well now... I look forward to Part 2 and your Aroden video then! I myself am particularly interested in the whole Aroden and Pharasma "relationship."

[@winterknight5923]

Just bought Pathfinder Wrath of The Righteous on PS5. I wanted to know what I am exactly in for.

[@Exalon02]

Good content, but 3 ad breaks after 8 minutes?!

[@Dramon8888]

Just so you know, not all elves that remained on Golarion became drow, the Ekujae remained there during Earthfall.

[@SirVertigo]

I'm aware, but alot of them did. The elves will get a separate video that goes deeper into their own race story, so I was just trying to paint the Elves history in the Broad strokes for that video.

[@etillman14]

Can you please put a spoiler warning for Strange Aeons before the info after 13:45

[@JacksonOwex]

I mean... it's LORE, spoilers should be expected! Avoid lore videos if you don't want to know things!!!

[@Aeliwona]

Love the video! Where do you get your maps? I've been looking for good maps for pathfinder. I want to frame them and put them up in my fiance's man cave.

[@SirVertigo]

Most of them from Google, but if you wanted to join our discord and message me, I'd be more than happy to help you find some HQ map images to use!

As for the Azlant knowing or not knowing about the abolith . Could actually be both true . Maybe it was a matter of some did & some did not . Such as the elites knew . But the commoners did not .

I ran Ruins of Azlant a couple of years ago and this is basically what happened.

"How is this possibly relevant to current day Golarion?" I dunno, hypothetical skeptics, probably in a similar way to the Mesopotamians inventing farming is relevant to us.

Thasilons? Wouldn't the proper grammar be Thassilonians?

That does have a better ring to it actually!

[@ilikeeggs474]

I would really like a video on Thassilon, the runelords, what happened to them after earthfall, etc. It would help a lot for my Rise of the Runelords game.

[@SirVertigo]

Keep an eye open next Friday then, Thassilon is my next video!

[@SirVertigo]

Not sure if you've already seen it, but my Thassilon video is out now, and while it doesn't quite dip into what happened to them following Earthfall to avoid spoilers, it does go into them a bit more. I will have a rise of the Runelord video in a few weeks that goes through the actual AP.

[@ilikeeggs474]
