They're a fun race. I hope some day we get a little more about Vudra and Casmaron and they'll get fleshed out a bit.

Personally, I'm a fan of my little chaos dragon-lizards. Kobolds ftw.

I'm hoping gnolls get a bit more love as PF2e goes on - the lore established in the Mwangi expanse book is so good - and honestly very similar to how I redesignedgnolls in a campaign of my own to make them less 'monster of the week' and more like a genuinely interesting, playable ancestry :D

Coming soon but not next!

Welcome aboard!

I'm so glad you're getting multiple uses out of this! Thanks for sharing. 🙂

Qitaj can be found pretty close to Mediogalti too ;-) Just sayin'...

@@TheMythKeeper *Qitajj. Shemtej also. Although, I moved away from Mediogalti Island as I didn't find a way to give a level 2 catfolk rogue proficiency with Sawtooth Sabers (human can get it, or fighters), and the Red Mantis doesn't feel quite right for the concept. What I was thinking was a uniformed rogue/assassin with a military bearing, and while the Red Mantis Assassins wears a (somewhat silly) uniform they're not what I was really thinking. Wondering what military academy trains skilled assassins. Figure lion blades loosely fit that archetype, although, I am sure there's another place you could find an assassin wearing a uniform when not operating covertly.

@@Jo-Heike Hmmm... my personal favorite assassins guild - Daggermark. For a Garundi organization, consider The Vane in Vidrian. They are a covert organization too, so to hide their Vidric allegiance they actually prefer non-human or non-vidric agents abroad. Mostly they are an anti-slavery, anti-Chelish, anti-Sargavan organization; but as Vidrian evolves as a nation they're going to get involved in more things.

@@TheMythKeeper Those are two interesting options. If they vane really prefer non-humans then recruiting catfolk (who are marginally more common in the area as far as I can tell) would make a lot of sense. I'll have to look into it more.

Now is the right time to do it! Hobgoblins (and orcs) have become a lot more interesting and culturally relevant in the 2nd edition of the game and I'm here for it.

Thanks for the request! These will go in my next ancestry video!

Haha! My bad! You’re welcome to look!

@@TheMythKeeper all good love your work btw

I believe the catfolk have their own forms of the main divinities in pathfinder, and any of them would be appropriate gods to worship. Where the books leave whitespace - that's all the more room for you to create. 🙂

@@TheMythKeeper As far I know they don't, the APG says catfolk generally aren't very religious, and mention that those that are often practice a nebulous form of animism (spirits of creation I think). the LO:AG names a deity for three of the five diaspora mentioned, although only one of the three is mentioned as being particularly religious.

Yep, I did my best with the information I had on the regional maps. :-)

I've linked this in a few places but here is a render of the map with the elf-gates on it. i.imgur.com/AWs3FI2.jpeg

You're very welcome!

Even more ancestries are coming ;-)

Page 44 of Lost Omens Ancestry Guide.

The video with Shoony is recorded! But its a few weeks out, I'm afraid.

Archives of Nethys is your best friend here. They can be found in Inner Sea Races pg. 247, Bestiary 4 pg. 230, Advanced Race Guide pg. 198, Dragon Empires Gazetteer pg. 11, Dragon Empires Primer pg. 5

@@TheMythKeeper Wow, that's super detailed! I'm pretty new to Golarion, and effectively haven't used archives of Nethis yet. Thanks!

@@jamesharrison142 Just so you understand: Archives of Nethys is for mechanical reference only. While you can find all ancestries here, if it is pure lore, that is not included in AoN. I also highly recommend checking out both 1E and 2E for the full lore understanding of a given ancestry as there are updates/changes to them.

Thanks so much!

There are actually three different conflicting creation myths involving kobolds and dragons that I didn't get to hear, but the short version is that kobolds have some kind of kinship with dragons. Also note that your GM may have something special planned for your character and his heritage which may not neatly line up with all the canon. For a silver-scaled kobold, it might indicate a connection with a silver dragon, those metallic dragons that breathe lightning.

@@TheMythKeeper The docs say they breathe cold. Are there any particular silver dragons in the lore? If they are anything like D&D silver dragons at all, I have a hard time imagining there not being at least one hanging out in human form in Absalom given it's size and renown.

@@keithwinget6521 You might be right, it might be cold not lightning. (Oops!) I wrote my response from memory, but its faulty sometimes. And yes, you're right, there are a reasonable number of silver dragons out there using advanced magics to conceal their true form.

There is more lore in the Lost Omens Ancestry Guide, Lost Omens World Guide, and Advanced Player's Guide on Kobolds, particularly those of the metallic breeds.

@@LiannaBabeli Checked these all out. Can you specify exactly where you found lore on metallic-scaled Kobolds, because I found none. Granted, I specifically looked for Kobold-related stuff only. If it was hidden somewhere else within, I wouldn't know where to start. There's the basic mention of their scale color as a choice and what breathe weapon/resistance that would bring, and that's about all I found.

I thought it was like honor, honesty, homage, hour and any number of other ho words, but you’re not the first to notice this so I’m trying to say the h in this word in future videos

@@TheMythKeeper You have a strong point there, the English lang. is so messed up with things like that Night and Knight. But for things like that I go back to the source of how it was pronounced from the origin or what would be called the origin. Like there are people that pronounce Drow 2 different ways, but if you go back to the creator Gary Gygax there is only one correct way of saying it. It is something the English lang. needs to fix. I mean would I be wrong going around calling Bill Ill and saying that I thought the B was silent.? Or Bryan calling them Ryan saying I thought once again the B was silent. But we do need to fix the English lang. if the letter is silent then we just need to remove it.

Lost Omens World Guide, Ancestry Guide and Character Guide all include catfolk info

@@TheMythKeeper thank you 😊

I think many probably are!

Different one from Leshy?

@@TheMythKeeper Ghoran is the name of Ancestry, do notice you have none of Lost Omen Ancestry.

@@Artemisthemp Thanks! I'll try to include them in the next round.

@@TheMythKeeper Most my Pathfinder Ancestry/Heirtage comes from Demiplane as navigating Paizo shop is pretty hard (at less on mobile.

According to the comments I've been saying it wrong 😅

@@TheMythKeeper It sounded right enough that it made me question 30+ years of fantasy reading hehe.

I'm so sorry! I guess I've seen it written "an hobgoblin" a few times so I assumed the h was silent.

@MythKeeper please don't apologize. The video is really well done. I can listen to these for hours, it was just distracting. Its possible that some people might pronounce it with a silent H, but I've only ever heard them as hobgoblins, even in other media. One of my favorite races and lore.

I’m not sure why, but sometimes people write “an” even before a pronounced “H”

Sort of 😂 - I’d say more simply that there’s just more material for the core ancestries but there’s enough content provided to play any of the ancestries I’ve described here

It was a change made in second edition.

i agree personally don't think that change really made sense given how different each of them often is they aren't the same species or such different ancestries makes me think they share a close common ancestry which lizardfolk and cat folk i strongly doubt do, its just one of those many strange and potentially dumb (depending on the reason for the change like i really dislike some of the changes they did to some classes like oracle) things they did when making 2e in my opinion

Not to open Pandora's box here, so I'll keep it fairly surface level, but basically the term "race" didn't make sense to begin with. Race is a social construct, not biological or even cultural. It's just something that came out of certain societal ideas (and, as you can imagine, was mostly related to gross claims about "which race is superior" and such). Using the term to refer to different fantasy creatures doesn't make sense, because they have much more clearly defined biological and cultural differences. Add to that the fact that "race" is a very loaded term with lots of difficult connotations, and it just makes sense to move away from it. Just because DnD established the term doesn't mean everyone has to stick to it - that's my personal opinion at least. :)

@@Jon_East ya like many are likely closely related to humans least races like elves and dwarves while lizardfolk and such much further related

@@Jon_East race is not a social construct. It's biological pure and simple.
