Having the extra spice of being literally born under a sign as a Champion or Paladin is a pretty cool way to convey impending plot stuff.

I love the timing of this. We're starting a new campaign in 3 days and my cosmos oracle was going to focus on the cosmic caravan. This is just the extra juicy lore that will bring my character to life.

Didnt even knew that Pathfinder had that kind of thing. Could be a cool tool for making a random character. Also cool that you used grim dawns constellations for the others lol

This is such a juicy piece of lore, and a nice example/framework for crafting one’s own. Thanks for this, and the rest of your content! I’m having a great time catching up on your channel. Keep up the great work!

When I saw this video as unavailable in your planar playlist, I was waiting for it to be released to everyone. Thanks so much for making it!

Great video, makes me want to work with constellations in my own world building Also the Warhammer Ogre killed me 🤣

Just real fast wanted to share because I thought it was clever. In the Lost Omens Travel Guide (which came out August 2022), there is a brief snippet near the beginning about marking time. It explains that there is actually a leap day (or Fey Day) every 4 years, but "Once, for some unknown reason, half the world was convinced a leap day should happen every four years while the other half insisted on eight. Getting everything straightened out took three days and ended in six deaths, two marriages, and at least one blood feud. But that’s a story for another day." So I'm very curious about the 8 year vs 4 year thing. My guess is that at some point in the past the authors decided on 8 years, and then they wanted to retcon it to 4 to be more in line with our own calendar, but they wanted an in-universe reason to do this, which I absolutely love. It makes me want to write a homebrew adventure that centers around this conflict between the factions who believed it should be 8 and the ones who believed it should be 4, and how it was settled. I'm very curious about this blood feud. But anyway, this is the kind of World Building approach that I love so dearly about Paizo. Keep up the great work!

Oooh im the Thrush! Pretty accurate actually

Great job using Grim Dawn constellations! Also, the Warhammer Ogre lol!

I have finally finished this playlist and so have returned with the forth and final land infused with the energies of the planes of vitality and the void. One would think that the land would be in extremes of variation or not a seed at all due to the energies inherent opposition and they would be half right. There is a lot of elevation from deep cavernous cave systems to sometimes floating bits of land, but the energies of vitality and void coexist in the form of glowing ever shifting currents. Sometimes these currents are dense and flow like rivers of water, other times they are more light taking the form of shining winds and breezes, and other times they act more like electricity flowing through vines and veins of ore alike, but it is alway as some kind of current or charge flowing from the fonts of vitality to the pools of void. It is from these pools of void that arise the Viturnae, a race of glass humanoids. Though they may be a crystalline race their features are very smooth and human like more akin to expertly blown glass and their external shells which is mostly made up of crystallized void is able to deform and stretch just like flesh. Within each Viturnae is a life that it is intubating, usually a plant or a fungus of some kind, which is always visible from inside the individual. The Viturnae are a fragile people who upon death death will explode into fonts of vitality and releasing the life they were intubating in the process. Pools of void and fonts of vitality are not endless nor are they consistent in their amount. A pool of void can last for an incredibly long time or be used up after producing just a few Viturnae and likewise for the fonts of vitality nor do either adhere to preferences of elevation. You are just as likely to find fonts of vitality in the network of caverns as you are to find pools of void in the highest of peaks and vitality will always flow from the fonts into pools of void. There is more to the land than the glow of the ever shifting currents and sources they flow between however. The land has an abundance of European style fortresses and castles and old, elevated observatorys where some of the oldest and most persistent pools of void can be found. Huge tendrils of vines serve the role of trees and thick silky mosses covers nearly any surface that the fungi do not already claim. In truth the most prevalent forms of life here are moss and fungi where a lot of variation can be observed. There is also more than one sentient race that call this land home. There is the Virtuo, incaporeal spirit like beings of thought and knowledge whom are attracted to the interactive use of void and vitality and can even take control of them. They are often drawn to the Viturnae due to their insides being mostly that of vitality and their outer shell being mostly that of void, and can be found within the old machines found inside the castles, fortresses, and observatorys as well transversing the ever shifting currents of void and vitality. This has lead to a very deep relationship with the Viturnae to the point that if one encounters a Viturnae there is almost certainly going to be a Virtuo around. Though the Virtuo may seem like humanoid spirits they are in fact more akin to digital lifeforms whom has vitality and void as the basis of their binary. There is also the Mossini a race of humanoid moss people with crystallizations of their own interwoven with the material of their stems to form a kind of skeleton. There is also the Funalor who are an incredibly human like race of humanoid mushroom people and in contrast to the Mossini have their crystallization interweve occur externally rather than internally and often in the form of decorations, assesories, and framing aids to their overly mycelium forms. Both the Mossini and Funalor were initally incubated within the Viturnae before managing to spread on their own. This land has the most forms of sentient life unique to due to the planes of Vitality and Void having a role in the river of souls which is also why they are all incredibly humanoid and even human like. The other lands before they started interacting only had one or two sentient races unique to them as opposed to this land's four. Like the other three this land didn't initially interact due to becoming a seed and has since started intermingling with the other three. And there we have it! The forth and final land infused with the last two inner planes. This one was difficult due to void and vitality not giving me a lot to work with. Ironically this land has the most sentient races originating from it and there is no form of necromancy whatsoever. I was putting off finishing this playlist because of that. If you or anyone else wants to use these lands as a campaign setting to further develop them please feel free. Heck I would like to join if possible. There isn't much point in creating a setting if no one uses it.

Thank you, this was a great video! One of my homebrew minor deities, Cetus, the Cosmic Whale, is a perfect addition! Cetus was once a constellation of stars that shone brilliantly in the sky long before the planet was inhabited by sentient beings. However, over time, the constellation began to shift and move, taking on the shape of a whale. This act of self-creation was nothing short of miraculous and caught the attention of the gods Rod (the god of time) and Horos (the god of magic). Impressed by Cetus's ability to shape and redefine himself, they granted him the status of a minor deity, representing the stars and divination. 🌃

Tian Xia proposes another astrology based on phases of the moon and dragon mythology as said at 18'. Dragon Empires zodiac.

Love you covering the Cosmic Caravan! Such an underrated topic. But you it such justice.

This is great. I'm playing a character that involuntarily traveled from Tian Xia to the Avistan region, and is going to prestige into Stargazer. This will be a great way to illustrate the differences between the zodiacs of the different cultures. I can play it as he already knows about the stars, but the stars are read differently in this region.

Every single video you produce is an absolute banger! Even if I’m not in a campaign that will use all of this information, our game world is just a bit more colorful, because any single piece of these videos helped shape our story!

Nice video. I can see this adding some lovely details to a more occult-focused game. Mostly it's a nice bit of detail for character creation that might encourage me to actually think about when my character's birthdays are. (Usually I don't even bother with an age.)

So I was born under the sign of the Rider, eh? Speaking of occult stuff in Pathfinder, I've heard there's a Pathfinder version of the tarot as well?

Irl born under the rider... Explains my obsession with rangers...

This is such a great little video... Having the calendar explained at the beginning and then going through all the signs and their meanings... Great stuff, really brings the world to life... Will definitely create a character who is into astrology at some point seems like a fun little thing to add to the setting.

Great content here. Pathfinder expands more and more.

Nice video! 👏👏👏

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Thanks so very much. I have to say that I'm far more fond of this than the newer version found in the Travel Guide and Abomination Vaults Players Guide. And, as always, your presentation is wonderful. Thanks again.

Hmm. I wonder if those that created the calendar know that Sunday was changed to the last day of the week when it was the first, something we still see on calendars now and older ones. Saturday was the last day and that goes into the Roman Church changing the day of rest itself from the last day to the first.

I've long wondered if the phrase "Cosmic Caravan" is a subtle reference to Star Trek (TOS). Specifically, Gene Roddenberry pitched the show as "Wagon Train to the stars", referencing a Western TV show that even I'm not old enough to remember. I really enjoyed this video. (Beat) Would you consider doing one on the Harrow Deck?

Wooo made it into Daughter!!

This will be great for my npc skyship captain the group just started travelling with for the next 5-10 sessions. Thanks 😊

I'm sure it's explained somewhere but I always found marking spacer on the calendar for Rovagug to be a rather strange choice.

мне понравилось ! лайк и комментарий , для алгоритмов ютуба =)

They will probably have to change the lore around The Worm since they are changing dragons.

Its an interesting take on constructed Astrology, though pre-Modern Astrology was pretty different and the Signs were named after Constellations and aren't the same thing, and reductionisn of Fate by Sign didn't go that far, and the Ascendant is more important in terms of Fate than the Sun

Would it be possible to get a video based on Harrow? I feel like the format would be exactly the same as this, since there's a general history to go over but then a small description of every card. It would be super helpful since an adventure path is just released that uses Harrow😊

The Cosmic Caravan is practiced and readings of it given by major NPC Wrin in the Abomination Vaults. That's where I first heard of it and as I'm running that for my players, I quickly clicked on this for some extra details to try to remember to throw in for them. In fact, I have a fun idea - have Wrin have set up images of some of the caravan and those line up with the PC's signs.

So i was wondering. The videos that i cannot currently view but can see will be available to me without having to pay right?

Am I crazy or were the lesser constellations from grim dawn?

WHY is this video so elusive , accessible after two weeks and then taken down and reuploaded! WTF is going on here !?!?!?!?!

Thrush is in retrograde. A previous boyfriend will come back to you.
