Pathfinder Region Deepdive: Razmiran

[@RyanVonAegir]

A truly wonderful time to praise the Living God! I really like Razmir and the brief snippets we see of how he runs the nation. To this day I'm surprised Paizo hasn't run a evil themed AP set in Razmir. Thanks for the wonderful deep dive!

[@TheMythkeeper]

You're very welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting as always!

I'm glad you posted this somewhere else because it never showed up in my subscription feed. It's got to be a real bummer when KZbin pulls this type of crap. Despite that, another great video!Ppop

The mask golem is such a wonderful unsettling, freakish construct - I love it! Only thing missing is that all the masks have a different voice maybe. Screaming in anger or anguish - causing psychic damage, I don't know XD Fun vid!

[@DaMuss-e2w]

each mask holds a trapped Soul.

I believe only Sivanah the Goddess of Illusions looks favorably on Razmir. Due to the fact that he has perpetuated the illusion of his godhood for so long on a national level. All other Deities dislike him for impersonating a deity.

[@TheMythkeeper]

Yeah that would make sense

[@theprofessional5656]

If I were Razmiran, I'd be anxious about some divine intervention... the bigger his false religion becomes, the greater becomes the likelihood of real gods taking notice.

[@TheMythkeeper]

@@theprofessional5656 Maybe. I think Razmir is will beneath the attention of most gods. For them, to even dignify him with a retaliation would be to give him too much credit. The more likely cause of an intervention would be if he burned down some temples belonging to another god, then he'll feel their fury. 😅

[@jimhirl2194]

Isn’t Achekeck’s ( I know I butchered the name)job to get rid of false gods? Why hasn’t he axed Razmir?

[@TheMythkeeper]

@@jimhirl2194 Razmir is way below Achaekek's paygrade. He has people, with people to take care of that sort of thing.

Thank you!

[@EU-Desire]

After watching the entire video, this would be an excellent locale for a higher level adventure, maybe 12-20 unmasking Razmiran, literally and figuratively

[@TheMythkeeper]

Yeah totally

[@EU-Desire]

The only thing I know of Razmiran is what I encountered of them in the latest Wrath of the righteous expansion, Razmiran gave the impression of being the ultimate trickster, with interesting masks with powers.

[@TheMythkeeper]

@@EU-Desire he is totally a trickster

[@JamesAdams-nd1td]

Razmiran kind of reminds me of Hule from BECMI DnD’s Mystara (except, Hule worships an actually deity); they’re both isolationist, expansionistic, theocratic police states run by corrupt clerics who worship a master deceiver (Bozdogan of Hule is actually Loki of the Aesir using a different name). Interesting how much sticking power that idea had. Also, you’d better believe Razmiran is doing his best to get his hands on that Elixir. I have to imagine there’s a long line of actual gods who want to “have a word” with him when he gets to the Boneyard.

[@TheMythkeeper]

Yeah Razmir is not making it into any of the good places, so he's definitely looking to extend his mortal existence as long as possible.

[@davidpotts2299]

Another great video. Thanks.

[@mothsvidz]

I really like Razmiran just because It's really funny there's a guy who had the sheer gall to run a religion pyramid scheme in a world where dozens of Gods could at any moment go, "Fun's over buster" and send some kind of herald to smite him to down to probably Hell, either that or Abaddon would be my guess. Wizard ego I know, but it's even funnier that it's worked for this long, despite the country doing everything to cause their neighbors to get together and dogpile on them. My crackpot theory, is this was someone's evil edgelord player character at some point and giving them a country was their end of campaign epilogue or something, probably wrong, but I haven't seen any evidence to the contrary either... I'd also love to see them do some kind of adventure that involves you overthrowing Razmir, but having to keep up the con because otherwise the whole nation would collapse in on itself or something, maybe change some of the policies if you aren't a fan of oppressing the masses I guess, like a mini Kingmaker type of thing, but for a fake religion and kingdom. But yeah, cool mask and I respect the grift 👍

[@TheMythkeeper]

I like your theory that this was the character of one of the Paizo guys at some point 😆

[@God_Emoji]

The algorithm never presented me with this video I had to search for it, i hope this comment helps

[@TheMythkeeper]

Yeah, I'm aware that the algorithm has nuked this particular video. Its a shame, but I'm not planning to re-upload it to fix it. :(

As always, awesome video! Would love a vid on Arcadia, though I know info on it is (currently) somewhat scant ^^

So watching the map around the 3 min mark i notice the protectorate of the black marquis, have you already covered this in a video? i am intrigued

[@TheMythkeeper]

Yeah - River Kingdoms - one of my earlier videos.

[@jeremiehache8351]

I was wondering what's left in the inner sea region to cover ?

[@TheMythkeeper]

Galt, Isger, Thuvia and Rahadoum - plus of course Lastwall and the Gravelands Maybe the island of Hermea? Not sure if that warrants a whole video though!

[@rulethegamer]

Are Razmiri Ninja really canon? I've always been fascinated by Razmiran and I run a living world server set in the Broken Lands (which Razmiran is a part of). Did they come from Tian Xia? Some sort of cultural exchange via faith barges? Is it about how diverse Pilgrimage is? Or did they just develop in this area independent of other regions?

[@TheMythkeeper]

Razmiri ninja are really a thing. As are monks who redact knowledge in Cheliax and worship Asmodeus. I think the answer is yes to your last question, and I would try to differentiate culture from mechanics a little bit to make sense of this. IE I think its possible to have given something the 1E Ninja class without it having all the trappings we associate with a more culturally traditional ninja. Basically its an assassin with some mystical powers.

[@rulethegamer]

@@TheMythkeeper thank you so much! i have only ever played 2e, and my only experience of 1e is Owlcat Games' Wrath of the Righteous CRPG, which i've yet to finish. I got the Razmiran DLC and will be playing through that in the future to get a better feel for this nation. Also, Razmiran is the one true god. Confess now!
