A little caution required in one area if you are using the real world egyptian pantheon here and vice versa. Like many modern fictional sources pathfinder is very harsh on Set. He was a god of war and the deserts, not madness and murder, and he was a legitimate deity with temples and followers, including some pharoahs. A rival of Horus, but essential in the fight against Apep. Not exactly a reliable chap, but evil is very harsh!
Loved this, great job! I’d love to see you take on the big villains for each adventure path and explain their backstory etc, obviously with a spoiler warning beforehand but it would be so helpful to get anymore additional information for them 😊
You have singlehandedly reignited the GM fire in me! The way you lay out the various subjects you talk about and your narration style really make learning about the lore enjoyable and digestible. Keep up the awesome work!
Love the content you’ve been putting out recently, it’s given me a lot of ideas for my own game. I know you must have a list of videos to make but I would love one on the Empyreal Lord
i like the idea of a common shared universe as an explanation. ¿Did the aztec, or mayan gods are among the golarion old gods? thanks, this is a great job!
I think its very likely but the official game lore has provided only vague details around the northern and southern arcadia where these gods would most likely have left their mark. The Caldaru people would likely have worshipped those gods: pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Caldaru_(human_ethnicity)
I spent the last few days working on a syncretism cleric of Bastet-Sekhmet, this video then came across my feed. Praise the mighty algorythm and you for making this. Looking at your Osirion deepdive next.
Planning to run a game in Osirion and moving down to Katapesh. I would love to get a deep dive into Katapesh soon. Keep up the great work. Amazing videos!
In some myths, Sobek actually has a wife, the monstrous-looking Taweret, with the legs of a lioness, the body of a pregnant hippopotamus, and the head of a crocodile. Unlike the similarly mish-mashed lion/hippo/croc-monster Ammut, the eater of souls, Taweret is not a mindless beast, but a patron goddess of pregnancy and childbirth. What's more, she's also the ex-wife of Apep, the sun-eating serpent, which makes for all sort of divine family drama stories.
It is deeply strange to me that Paizo put all this work into creating their own pantheon, occasionally borrowing a name, but always striving to make the gods their own. Then they just hit Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V on Egyptian mythology and called it a day.
Its the same strangeness I feel about Anastasia being in Irrisen. There are these little moments in the game where the creators choose to remind you that Pathfinder isn't a fictional Earth, its another fictional planet that exists in the same universe as our Earth.
"Pneumonia", "psychopomp" and "Ptolemy" are all Greek words and names (note the Ptolemies of Egypt weren't originally from Egypt) so the "p" is not pronounced. Yet, Ptah is not from Greek, but directly from Egyptian, and so the "p" is coincidently pronounced.
The Linnorm Kingdoms are my next deep dive! It won't be my next video (I'm doing something special on the OGL next) but it will be the one after that. Realm of the Mammoth Lords is planned but I don't have an exact date yet.
It is really hard to keep track of all the interactions. If each name were paired with a symbol, a flash of the symbol each time the name were mentioned would increase my ability to follow along by a lot.
Ra is a good choice. I'm tempted to say based on what you said on my other video that if you're considering Ossiriani deities that Horus may be an even better choice. Horus is a sky-god as well, although his domain was all the celestial bodies of the heavens and not just the sun. According to most representations, Horus' right eye was meant to represent the sun and his left eye the moon. More importantly for your purposes, you mentioned that the angle you didn't like about Sarenrae was that she is a redeemer and that didn't feel like your character's ethos. One of Horus' main aspects is that of the avenging son. Horus chose to kill his uncle (Set) to avenge the death of his father (Osiris). One has to assume that was a difficult choice, but note that he keeps his Good alignment in spite of that choice, and that he still gets to rule over the Pantheon after his victory over Set. If you're planning to play a character who you anticipate will need to live with difficult choices but whose heart is ultimately in the right place, Horus is a great deity. Another outside choice for you is Chohar. Have a quick scan through my Vidrian deep dive or check the wiki on Chohar. He's a southern garundi deity, traditionally was worshipped in Mzali. He's a god of the sun, and he's also got a thing about vengeance and justice. I have some more detail on Chohar and some other Garundi sun deities coming out in my upcoming Southern Mwangi Expanse video as well (that's a few weeks out though).
@@TheMythKeeper Well, Herald Stardweller (my Champion) isn't strictly against redemption and forgiveness. Really, he just dosn't heavilly focus on it. Protecting the innocent is higher prioity.

@@TheMythKeeper Hey. You didn't tell me Horus lawfull neutral, acording to Archives of Nethys. I was under the impression he was chaotic good, My champion need a good alligned deity.
If you check my Giant Pantheon video you will definitely see some Norse-like deities in that mix, but this is the only pantheon more or less ported over completely.
Osiris is not seth brother that just one his oldest son of grand children, first generation they live 900 and something years by the time by the time they like five-six hundred years old, they have the first generations of kids. Then Seth reunite with Kane that kill his Able to destroy his children... he started off good then he turned evil against his own family
This sounds cool, but this lore may be coming from some non-canon sources. As far as I know, Cain and Abel are biblical figures and not a part of Egyptian mythology ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cain_and_Abel ).
I don't think the clergy is prescribed by the God, but more a function of what the mortal cultures decide. I'm sure Isis would be happy to have male clerics as well, but Osirion is an old culture and set in its ways. Ultimately how non-binary people do with these traditions is left to you and your group to decide.

Egyptian pantheon is wild! 😂
Dude I would love some more deep dives into like the green faith the godclaw

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank You Sir, will you be doing a deep dive on Realm on Mammoth lords, Linnorm Kings?

@@TheMythKeeper
Hey. You didn't tell me Horus lawfull neutral, acording to Archives of Nethys. I was under the impression he was chaotic good,
My champion need a good alligned deity.
@@agsilverradio2225 - Alignments are dead! Long live the death of alignments!
could Apep be Rovagug?
There's a lot of similarity between those two gods for sure.
Are any other gods from classical earth mythologies worshiped on Galareon? Or do they at least have some sort of allegories In Pathfinder?
If you check my Giant Pantheon video you will definitely see some Norse-like deities in that mix, but this is the only pantheon more or less ported over completely.
@@TheMythKeeper I suspected the giant pantheon would have probably taken some inspiration from Norse mythology.

@@tulolucciano5900 😆 Fair enough!
I wonder what nonbinary people do with all these deities that are like "all my priests are women / men".
I don't think the clergy is prescribed by the God, but more a function of what the mortal cultures decide. I'm sure Isis would be happy to have male clerics as well, but Osirion is an old culture and set in its ways. Ultimately how non-binary people do with these traditions is left to you and your group to decide.
