Pathfinder Regional Deepdive: Numeria

[@carlborneke8641]

I wouldn’t be surprised if a wizard went absolutely bonkers trying to understand the “magic” of Numerian technology.

[@Kingneo0053]

And then Technomancers were born.

[@LontEnCaras]

I liked when the Empire of Taldor at its hight AND the whispering Tyrant - a Necromancer so powerful, that it needed a god to defeat him - looked at Numeria and were like "Nope!" And then 40 giant tribes tried it anyways and got slaughtered. Twice. And then demons tried to invade and just became some lab rats for an AI without any hope of escaping. The only reason Numeria never really expanded its borders is, because its inhabitants are to busy fighting each other or getting eaten by monsters or alien space robots.

[@TheMythkeeper]

Haha! Yeah sounds like Taldor and Tar-Baphon made the right call.

[@alexramey2062]

This setting feels like a pulpy 70's science fantasy graphic novel adaptation of an even more pulpy book series from the 40's. I frigging love it.

[@TheMythkeeper]

Haha! Yeah that's a great summary!

Haha! I think may have been one of those people at the time. I've since come around and embraced the madness.

[@JeroenDoes]

As someone new to the lore I can understand the resistance. This addition is quite the departure from the norm. Would a find such as an space ship not spark a giant technological revolution changing the face of the setting forever?

[@TheMythkeeper]

@@JeroenDoes - Honestly, probably so, but I find its best not to dwell on this sort of thing and just embrace the zany.

[@Serbobiv123]

@@JeroenDoes the techno-barbarians were part of the lore from the beginning, though, and the technology in the spaceship is so advanced they have no way to understand it. Add that to how Golarion has very little cultural osmosis between regions and it fits right in. Pathfinder has areas for any kind of fantasy RP you might want, Numinaria is the Conan-ian "our magic is actually space hypertech and we have aliens hanging around in strange towers and stuff" place.

Numeria is definitely one of my favorite locations in Pathfinder, and the one that I borrowed the most heavily from in my own setting.

[@TheMythkeeper]

Its such a wierd, unique corner of the Pathfinder world. In doing research for this video it really made me appreciate how carefully they thought about ways to ground the crazy concept of 'barbarians and laser guns' in a sense of reality.

[@that1otherJake]

@@TheMythkeeper Totally. like much of the setting, Numeria is definitely a good balance of old tropes and inverted concepts. And yes it is definitely an interesting place. Honestly, I can't imagine it being written better (well...I take that back, it would have been more interesting if the Androffans weren't so similar to Golarian humans, but that's just a nitpick lol).

[@TheMythkeeper]

[@hun1on138]

Amazing video as always. Would love to see a video about the effects on Golarion most or all adventure paths have had.

[@TheMythkeeper]

I've received this request a few times now and I definitely plan to do this, but because I expect AP summaries will take a long time, it's going to be a long time before I get there. I want to get my region deep dives mostly wrapped up before I start down this journey - so probably mid 2024 or so? That's my guess right now. Then I have to figure out if I want to do the same for 2E APs as well

[@TheMythkeeper]

[@datonkallandor8687]

It used to be a lot more common. Might and Magic's height was during the time when the primary plot was driven by spacefaring wizard-scientists fighting on various artificial planetoids.

[@jefffarler]

Great video! Looking back, I'm often amused how many roleplayers reject the introduction of giant robots and cybernetic nanotechnology into a "traditional" fantasy setting. It’s not like we haven't seen this kind of thing before, from Shadowrun to Rifts to Warhammer 40,000 for example. Maybe those settings get passes because the mixing is front and center, as opposed to being an outlier? As for the Hollow Garden, for some reason I'm reminded of an issue of KNIGHTS OF THE DINNER TABLE; a GM wants his gaming group to try a sci fi setting, but the players program the holodeck with their fantasy adventure. So the GM introduces glitches in the matrix...

[@TheMythkeeper]

Yeah I think if the whole "world" is Numeria people don't have a problem with it (like He-Man!) but if there's just one country then it feels incongruous. This is serving a purpose though - which is allowing groups to play different pulp genres in different parts of the world.

[@003mohamud]

That taboo against tech is all that stands between Numeria and an empire uniting Avistan.

[@lonegoat81]

The White Scars clan has the same name and iconography as the White Scars space marine chapter?

No, but I've noticed that depending on the time of day I record my voice will drop or raise on octave. Typically its quite a bit deeper in the morning than in the afternoon, so when the pitch changes suddenly its just a different day's recording.

[@kythian]

When my group played Kingmaker, two of us had characters that hailed from the Tiger Lords; a barbarian and a scout (rogue archetype). Unfortunately, we did not get more than halfway through the AP before our GM suffered a fatal heart attack. 😢 I regularly wonder wonder how that campaign would have turned out.

[@TheMythkeeper]

Omg, that's horrible, I'm so sorry to hear this.

[@OkamiThunder]

Is the White Scars' clan symbol their actual one? Because I really don't see Paizo making that deliberate of a Warhammer 40k reference.

[@Veridiansolar]

I was about to ask the same thing! Knowing how litigious GW is I was worried for a bit there.

[@MrTotalNiceGuy]

Is there any background or story on the starship or who were the crew? I've never played any AP's associated with Numeria, so all I've ever heard is "its a spaceship".

[@TheMythkeeper]

Yeah the Iron Gods adventure path provides a little more detail about the Androffans and about the last surviving Androffan referenced in the video. There's also a lot left ambiguous though as well, so there's plenty of mystery left still to explore.

[@bigollameo]

At least one of the "fallen stars" (aka, wrecked spacecraft) comes from Androffa, a world located beyond the boundaries of the solar system that Golarion is located in.

[@obamabiden]

i wonder if there's any mention of Androffa in the wider Starfinder lore

[@TheMythkeeper]

Not a lot of detail that I've been able to find. I believe there are some allusions to the fact that Androffa might have been ravaged by Rovagug. Also not alot of details around Earth in the Starfinder universe.

@@TheSpiritus0 Well its not explicitly specified but there is some link that connects all three of the planets with majority human populations, Earth, Androffa and Golarion. All three were targeted by Rovagug during the Age of Creation. See this link: paizo.com/community/blog/v5748dyo6sh26 This leads me to believe that the humans have of the material universe have some greater purpose to play in the future, which explains why their worlds were targeted for destruction.

As the GM you should totally watch this, but you'll want to be careful for your players. The video takes viewers up to second edition, which includes the aftermath of Iron Gods, so there are some general spoilers about how things are expected to turn out at the end of that adventure. Of course I suppose your own journey could take you in a different direction.

Right! I love that the demons came in thinking they were the top of the food chain and then realizing they are hopelessly outmatched by the rogue AI.

[@kintire]

Is anything known about the culture the ship came from now? After 8 thousand years a lot could have changed...

[@TheMythkeeper]

Not any specific information, but I have thoughts. One thing to know is that Androffa, Earth and Golarion are all connected by some unexplained common thread. All three are predominantly populated by humans and all three were targeted by Rovagug during the Age of Creation as detailed in this Paizo Blog: paizo.com/community/blog/v5748dyo6sh26 (Search "Androffa".) Although other parts of the lore mention that Rovagug is sealed within Golarion it seems more likely that Rovagug is actually sealed within all three planets, because its a meta-physical seal, and the Demiplane known as the Vault of Rovagug. I think its possible that connections to the Vault can be found at the center of all three planets and that containment was breached in Androffa first and that they actually went to Golarion for aid - not being aware that Azlant had been destroyed who were a magically adept culture that might even have been aware of the technologically adept Androffans, but were shot down by the Eoxians (I'm way out on a limb here, but I've seen lore over the years that suggest this). If that's the case maybe Androffa was destroyed by Rovagug because the Divinity's message failed. One thing we know for certain is that Golarion itself is disappeared by the time of Starfinder. This suggests Rovagug either managed to liberate itself, or the entire planet was moved to a different sort of vault to continue his containment. I don't know, this is me just vamping, take all of it with a grain of salt...

[@kintire]

So what i get from this is that it may be a very good thing the survivor was murdered before she could recontact home... Irony! I love it.@@TheMythkeeper

You are right - that's the wrong word. I apologize for that. Unfortunately (and this is crazy to me) KZbin does not allow you to edit videos once they are published.

That's a basic Space Marine. Now imagine them as Space Mongolians, replacing the horses with motorcycles. That's the White Scars.

[@colemcmullen3904]

I am interested in this topic and you make good content, but an hour and a half is a long time to invest in watching a video. I could split it up into 30 minute segments, but it might be better for your channel if you edited this video into three and spread their release dates over the course of the week. You'd get the same number of views on three videos instead of one.

[@TheMythkeeper]

You know I actually started with that approach originally. (Check my Humans ancestry video - it is split into two parts. Actually so is my Dragons video.) But what I found is lots of people don't watch Part 2. They forgot what came before and don't want to jump into something mid-stream, so it causes me to just lose viewership on this videos. I know it doesn't work for everyone, but for me the big video format has been working so I think in the short run that's what I'll stick with.
