Qadira: The Gateway to the East is the westernmost satrapy of the Padishah Empire of Kelesh. If that makes you think of ancient Egypt, you’re pretty close to the mark. Most of Osirion’s population live close to the life-giving River Sphinx. Osirion: An ancient desert land renowned for its pyramids and tombs. The island has a number of monasteries devoted to the deity Irori, mother of perfection, where devotees hone their minds and bodies studying martial arts. Jalmeray: The westernmost outpost of the Vudrani Empire (which lies east of the Inner Sea map), the Kingdom of the Impossible, uses genies and elementals to create elaborate gold and marble palaces, fountains and other wonders. Dissenters and nobles are hunted down and executed on magical guillotines called ‘final blades’. It broke away from Cheliax during that nation’s civil war, and the Red Revolution has slowly morphed into the Eternal Revolution. Galt: Imagine that the Reign of Terror after the French Revolution never ended, and you have a fair idea of what Galt is like. While not everyone in Cheliax worships devils or supports the House of Thrune, those who don’t keep quiet about it for fear of the House of Thrune’s agents and inquisitors, or its enforcers, the fearsome Hellknights.įive Kings Mountains: Homeland of the Dwarves. The devil-worshipping House of Thrune emerged victorious and now controls the Chelaxian heartland. Loose parallels with revolutionary-era America may be drawn.Ĭheliax: Once the heart of a vast empire, the nation of Cheliax was wracked by a vicious civil war which started a hundred years ago and lasted 30 years. Its elite Eagle Knights defend its borders and – beyond its borders – seek to end slavery. Nowadays, Andoran is devoted to truth, liberty and justice. Without its imperial masters, and somewhat suspicious of the noble houses that had prospered under Cheliax, Andoran developed a new form of government: democracy. The distinctive Starstone Cathedral lies at the heart of Absalom.Īndoran: The nation of Andoran, once a province of the Cheliaxian Empire, rebelled and won its freedom about 45 years ago. From the brightly coloured bangles and long scarves of the Varisians to the turbans and veils of the Qadirans, to saris and salwar khamis among the Vudrani, the furs of the Ulfen and the loin-cloths, kilts and beads of the Mwangi, pretty much anything goes. Of course, there are many nations, ethnicities and climates in the world. FashionĪround the northern coast of the Inner Sea, frock coats, breeches, stockings and tricorne hats are in for man and women women may prefer dresses ranging from simple frocks to elaborate formal constructions that would delight Marie Antoinette. Everyone is aware of magic, and most folk have encountered magic and magicians, even if they don’t fully understand it – even small villages will have a village priest or a wise-man or wise-woman capable of casting simple spells. Magic of both arcane and divine origin is fairly common. Most people rely on medieval or Renaissance levels of weaponry and armour: swords, spears, bows, chainmail and plate armour. Firearms and gunpowder, though they exist, are fairly rare.

While there’s no direct parallel to our world, technology and fashion seem closest to 18 th century Europe and North America, but with a hefty injection of the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. But in case you want to know more than just your mission briefing, here’s some potted information to help you get a handle on the world your character lives and adventures in. As a player you are not required to own these books, or even know the background. Naturally, the world is rather bigger than that, but in most cases, you’ll be adventuring in the Inner Sea area.įull details of the world are presented in the Inner Sea World Guide or the shorter Inner Sea Primer. The Inner Sea itself is roughly analogous to the Mediterranean Sea. Most games take place in an area called the Inner Sea, which is roughly equivalent to Europe, the Middle East and northern and central Africa in our world. Pathfinder Society games take place in the fantasy world of Golarion.
