Shyka

Shyka the Many

Alignment: Neutral (N)

Areas of Concern: Entropy, time, and reincarnation

Overview:

Shyka represents a unique deity concept: an entity composed of countless chronomancers scattered across time.

The role shifts frequently—sometimes one version persists for days, while other instances involve rapid transitions between multiple incarnations in single conversations. The deity occasionally vanishes completely, which Shyka refuses to explain. Speculation suggests these absences involve visits to the lost world of Golarion or encounters with Gap-era incarnations.

Azathoth is characterized as the blind idiot god who anchors the center of the universe and remains wholly ignorant of those who worship it. According to the source material, those who venerate Azathoth worship the very concept of destruction and see religious ecstasy in the annihilation at the heart of a star. The deity functions less as a traditional entity and more as an abstract concept: Azathoth is as much the idea of devastation and the triumph of chaos as it is an entity. The entry notes cryptic historical references across multiple species (humans, elves, lashuntas, shirrens, and vesk) to a pre-Gap experimental starship seeking the Throne of Azathoth at the universe's center, though these accounts are likely apocryphal.

The deity appeals to chefs, hospitality professionals, and negotiators who recognize food as a medium for connection and communication. The faith lacks centralized hierarchy, instead operating through informal networks of families, colleagues, and communities.

Through drunken dares, he entered the Starstone Cathedral and emerged days later as a god, seemingly unaware of how he achieved apotheosis. His faith initially spread widely, but he suffered severely during the Gap—a period he cannot remember. He endured a prolonged depressive episode seeking solace in intoxication, causing his worship to decline significantly. Upon recovery, Cayden redirected his church toward supporting those struggling with substance abuse and self-destructive coping mechanisms. His clergy now operate recovery centers and shelters alongside traditional breweries and bars. Today, his focus extends to displaced and marginalized communities. He actively opposes bigotry and xenophobia, encouraging followers to build inclusive, welcoming spaces where diverse cultures intersect. His church works closely with Hylax's followers, and he maintains close friendships with other deities including Angradd.

She encourages her followers to champion underdogs, defend the voiceless, combat corruption, and support the oppressed while maintaining a sense of humor throughout. Her faith attracts diverse adherents including activists, rebels, community leaders, artists, entertainers, and comedians. Chaldirans follow a philosophy emphasizing action: it's better to get in over your head doing the right thing than to stand idle in the face of evil. Chaldira embodies boldness and tenacity, trusting instincts and encouraging followers to do likewise. She readily adapted to the Gap and embraces modern approaches to her domains. Despite confrontational tendencies, she functions as a reliable ally and caring deity who delights in uniting people through laughter.

The deity has been called by various names across millennia, with titles shifting to honor the newest and most violent weapons mortals have created. Operating from Abaddon, Cixyron's followers command considerable fear and respect among outsider cultists. The faithful engage in weapon creation and distribution across the galaxy, promote warfare, and spark apocalyptic events. A notable practice involves weaponizing natural phenomena—such as redirecting asteroids or solar storms, or steering vessels into their destructive paths.

Dagosarn

The Unriven Soul

Alignment: Neutral

Areas of Concern: Cooperation, partner bonds, secret languages

Description:

Dagosarn is a composite demigod comprising the dragonkin Endrisarn and ryphorian Dagovin, functioning as a unified divine entity. According to mythology, these were bonded warriors who fought in Triaxus's Drakelands. When Dagovin fell in battle, Endrisarn pursued his companion's spirit to Pharasma's judgment. Pharasma allegedly ruled that Dagovin could not truly die while his partner lived, annulling the death and merging them into one demigod. The deity champions anyone united through a supernatural bond, particularly emphasizing the dragonkin partnership ritual. Dagosarn values teamwork and connection regardless of the partners' moral alignment. The god especially delights in the inside jokes and secret languages that close friends develop. Priests bless corporate mergers, marriages, sibling reconciliations, and bonding ceremonies. Worship remains primarily confined to Triaxus, with minimal following in the broader Pact Worlds.

Facilian

The Blossoming Fractal

Alignment: Neutral

Areas of Concern: Beginnings, novel ideas, experimentation

This deity embodies innovation and unconventional thinking, appearing to mortals during moments of inspiration and creative breakthrough. The god's followers consist primarily of inventors, explorers, scientists, and those who reject tradition. Facilian's faith is in its infancy, driven by inventors, explorers, scientists, and those who challenge convention and forge their own paths.

Isvith

Mistress of the Maze

Alignment: Lawful Neutral (LN)

Areas of Concern: Connections, navigation, patterns

Race: Nuar goddess

Description:

Isvith inspires followers to identify hidden patterns throughout existence and apply these insights practically. Her teachings extend across diverse fields including coding, engineering, navigation, social dynamics, haptics, and politics. Her places of worship are typically located along intricate streets or station corridors rather than prominent routes. Isvith is deeply embedded within Absalom Station's religious traditions and was virtually unknown before the Gap, leading some to theorize she achieved divinity through the Starstone. Isvith disappeared centuries ago while undertaking one final exploration into a supernatural labyrinth. Her current status remains unknown—whether she is trapped within, remains voluntarily, created it as philosophical allegory, or has become the maze itself. Her devoted followers continue seeking clues about its nature and location while navigating cosmic mysteries and assisting others through difficult circumstances.

Jalvari

The Incidental Epiphany

Alignment: Neutral Good (NG)

Areas of Concern: Disproven hypotheses and experiments

Background:

Jalvari was formerly a mortal osharu scientist who unexpectedly achieved divine status through a space-time experiment she cannot recreate. She serves as an informal herald to Yaraesa while championing scientific inquiry. Rather than promoting knowledge broadly, Jalvari embodies the wisdom and insights earned through apparent failure and unexpected discoveries. She represents a tough-love approach to mentorship, celebrating both breakthrough achievements and the collapse of flawed theories before new evidence. Jalvari's disciples actively question established academic dogma and train future researchers to surpass their predecessors' work. Beyond her primary worship among osharus in Pabaq, she receives prayers from struggling scientists seeking guidance during periods of apparent failure. To soft-bodied osharus, Jalvari exemplifies how surviving harsh universal critique ultimately transforms seekers and elevates their understanding.

Centers of Worship: Rax, the Scoured Stars system

Symbol: A gold prism on a black field

Overview:

Kadrical settled in the Scoured Stars system long ago and sought to create an orderly domain with devoted followers. He encased the entire trinary star system in an impenetrable barrier to protect inhabitants from external threats, though this also prevented departure. After millennia of dormancy, his shield weakened and many followers escaped. Upon awakening fully, Kadrical defeated the herald Dhurus who attempted usurpation, with aid from herald Ailuros and the Starfinder Society. He now welcomes visitors and converts, attracting those seeking sanctuary—including colonists, scholars, archaeologists, and museum professionals. His faith emphasizes preservation and archival work. Currently, only Ailuros serves as herald, while Dhurus is deceased and two others remain missing.

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral (CN)

Areas of Concern: Infospheres, pop culture, social systems

Centers of Worship: Absalom Station, Bretheda, Preluria, Verces

Symbol: A chaotic, colorful network of wires and nodes

Overview:

Lambatuin is a nonbinary deity whose origins remain mysterious. They describe themselves as a collective, insisting there were many of them left in the wake of the Voice's disappearance. This scintillating entity exhibits rapid wit and movement, delighting in how mortal minds adapt to new ideas. They find stagnation deeply boring and disdain authoritarian systems, viewing them as obstacles to progress. Notably, Lambatuin avoids direct intervention in mortal affairs, preferring to observe and debate rather than mandate. They provide multifaceted (and often conflicting) opinions without precise directives. Worshippers reportedly encounter them casually on infospheres, gaining inspiration from bizarre exchanges. The deity rejects essentialist perspectives on identity, encouraging followers to resist categorical definition.

Lamashtu

Mother of Monsters

Alignment: Chaotic Evil (CE)

However, she actively rewards those rulers and subjects who faithfully follow her demanding doctrines.

Meyel

The Dancing Fury

Alignment: Chaotic Evil (CE)

Areas of Concern: Battle, dance, freedom, pahtras (a species), retribution

Overview:

Meyel was once a peaceful pahtra deity associated with artistic and dance traditions. The deity's nature fundamentally changed following traumatic events—specifically the loss of the planet Pulonis to the Veskarium and widespread pahtra casualties. The transformed Meyel now embodies violent vengeance, encouraging pahtras to reclaim their world through any means and exact punishment against the Vesk and their allies. Worshippers frame their violent acts as performance art commemorating the fallen, developing personalized combat signatures. Two distinct religious factions follow Meyel: a militant sect embracing bloodlust, and a smaller pacifist sect preserving the original peaceful traditions. While these groups maintain mutual disdain, direct conflict between them remains rare. The pacifist denomination actively seeks to redirect their deity away from vengeance. Both sects face persecution from the wary Veskarium, forcing many adherents to practice their faith secretly for survival.

Nivi Rhombodazzle

The Grey Polychrome

Alignment: Neutral (N)

Areas of Concern: Gambling, gems, gnomes, stealth

Overview:

Nivi Rhombodazzle is a gambler who enjoys the game, win or lose. She was originally a mortal feychild gnome on Golarion who escaped underground to avoid creditors, eventually ascending to divinity and becoming the first bleachling gnome. Her faith attracts both feychild and bleachling gnomes, as well as adrenaline junkies, extreme athletes, gamblers, and other risk-takers. Followers are characterized as risk-embracing individuals who prefer fleeing from conflict rather than confronting it directly. Primary locations include Absalom Station, Akiton, Castrovel, Preluria, Triaxus, and Eox's Halls of the Living. Most temples to Nivi Rhombodazzle are casinos or illicit gambling dens, with organized worship being a secondary concern.

Occhiorasoi

The Cipher Tongue

Alignment: Lawful Evil (LE)

Areas of Concern: Distortion, coercion, and control

Description:

Occhiorasoi is a malebranche (powerful devil) dispatched by Hell to conquer worlds. Unlike most of her kind who labor for centuries with minimal success, she established her as the ruler of the planet Embroi. From hidden underground chambers, she manipulates the planet's inhabitants according to her agenda and Hell's objectives. Her chosen followers, the Seekers (embri), extend her influence across the galaxy. Her cult attracts those who desire power and leadership, though this ambition ultimately binds their souls to Hell. The malebranche encourages her faithful to recruit subordinates and infiltrate organizations to gain influence through accumulating minions.

Otolmens

The Universal

Alignment: Lawful Neutral (LN)

Areas of Concern: Preservation of multiverse function, documentation of galactic anomalies and disturbances

Overview:

Otolmens is one of the few primal inevitables to emerge from the Gap whole. She monitors the Material Plane to maintain proper multiverse operation, continuously identifying and cataloging cosmic irregularities for Axis's records. The deity oversaw creation of the first Anhamut inevitables in Axis following mysterious blueprints theorized to originate from Triune and the Drift. The Anhamut Edgeseekers—inevitables devoted to cosmic exploration and mapping—report directly to her. Her followers include engineers and mathematicians seeking calculation accuracy, administrative personnel prioritizing organizational function, and space explorers hoping to discover new phenomena and hidden cosmic disturbances.

Pazuzu

Alignment: Chaotic Evil (CE)

Areas of Concern: Sky, space, warships, space battles, solar flare destruction

Overview:

Among the eldest demon lords, Pazuzu claims the widest influence over the Material Plane of any demon. Originally a lord of the sky, he now considers all of space his domain. The deity frequently conflicts with Lamashtu, which has hindered his rise to true divinity. Space pirates and malevolent entities of the void worship him. Pazuzu actively interferes in mortal affairs through direct appearances or via servants, seeking to tempt and corrupt those who invoke his name.

Romgul

The Lone Survivor

Alignment: Neutral Evil

Areas of Concern: Dromadas, retreat, self-preservation

Description:

Romgul is colloquially referred to as the Coward's God. He teaches followers to prioritize personal survival above all else, encouraging retreat from danger and viewing flight as tactical rather than cowardly. While he advocates for group gathering as a safety measure, his doctrine fundamentally demands self-preservation first—followers should abandon those who fall behind for the supposed benefit of the group. Romgul allegedly represents the sole survivor of an ancient dromadan pantheon, though this remains unverified. His worship attracts cynics, scoundrels, the downtrodden, and those inhabiting dangerous environments. Among dromadas, his followers worship in secret, creating suspicion within their communities.

Saloc

The Minder of Immortals

Alignment: Neutral

Areas of Concern: Personal agency, education, and judgment of souls

Description:

Saloc serves as a psychopomp usher of personal agency and education, advocating for mortals in Pharasma's Boneyard when they face their final judgment. This deity emphasizes both intentions and consequences when evaluating souls, believing in the importance of free will. Saloc resides at Spire's Edge, a large planar city housing souls whose lives lacked ambition and meaning. Venerated by lawyers, teachers, prisoners, and those seeking to control their fates through conscious choices. The Voyage Ordinant, a traveling attorney cult, takes desperate cases defending individuals who inadvertently violated laws or faced corporate exploitation.

Shivaska

The Dangling Chain

Alignment: Chaotic Evil (CE)

Areas of Concern: Aberrations, clocks, factories, unsatisfied desires

Centers of Worship: Apostae, Infosphere Financial, Advice Communities, Verces, the Veskarium

Symbol: A clock face with 13 hours

Favored Weapon: Garrote

Edicts:

• Put your desires first
• Attach a clause to every deal
• Profit off others' suffering

Anathema:

• Forgive a debt
• Give to charity

Blessings:

• A gift appears unbidden
• Your enemy's greed overtakes them

Curses:

• Interest accrues
• A contract is altered
• Chains close around you

Overview:

Shivaska is a demon lord who manipulates mortals through manufactured desire and exploitative systems. Rather than demanding direct worship, she profits from pyramid schemes, corporate ventures, and financial exploitation. She shifted her approach after the Gap, recognizing that mortal-created systems of greed could serve her purposes better than traditional power plays. Shivaska adopts a charming appearance matching prominent local species and uses contractual clauses to ensure her eventual profit from every arrangement.

Uvonn

The Welcome Oblivion

Alignment: Neutral (N)

Areas of Concern: Forgetfulness, healing, forgiveness, memory

Description:

Uvonn is an ancient goddess who encourages her followers—particularly telias—to cherish pleasant memories while releasing painful ones. Her philosophy frames deliberate forgetfulness as spiritually beneficial, capable of freeing individuals from hate, trauma, and destructive patterns while promoting healing and reconciliation. Paradoxically, while Uvonn teaches the value of forgetting, she herself appears to retain perfect recollection, having witnessed everything throughout countless ages. Her faith particularly appeals to addicts, amnesiacs, mesmerists, neurologists, and long-lived beings. The faith shows special reverence toward the elderly. While most adherents focus on managing their own memories, some practitioners develop techniques to therapeutically alter or erase others' memories. Extremist factions destroy historical records they deem harmful, or engineer communities where collective amnesia prevents past suffering from affecting the present. Some devotees theorize Uvonn orchestrated the Gap—a universal amnesia event—though ongoing galactic chaos suggests another such intervention might be needed.

Ydajisk

The Mother of Tongues

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral (CN)

Areas of Concern: Language, lost words, and change

Description:

Ydajisk is a protean lord of language, lost words, and change who celebrates linguistic innovation and evolution. The deity finds joy in slang creation, cross-language borrowing, personal naming choices, and cultural linguistic shifts. The deity appeals to poets, librarians, and any who has experience with languages of any form, from the auditory to the cryptographic. Followers view language as inherently chaotic and fluid, comparable to protean nature itself. Many adherents prefer working outside conventional grammatical and structural constraints rather than within them. Ydajisk's cults engage in documentation of extinct languages on uninhabited worlds and launch satellites decorated with archaic, obsolete words into space.

Zyphus

The Grim Harvestman

Alignment: Neutral Evil (NE)

Areas of Concern: Accidental death, disasters, tragedy

Centers of Worship: Absalom Station, Apostae, the Diaspora, Eox

Symbol: A pick made of bones, with a skull engraved on the head

Favored Weapon: Osseous pick (bone pick)

Edicts/Philosophy:

Zyphus seeks to engineer fatal accidents and mass casualties. His followers, the Zyphens, sabotage infrastructure, disable life support systems, and plant explosives to create senseless death.

Anathema:

The deity opposes luck itself (particularly Desna's domain) and Pharasma's role in determining natural lifespans. He disdains undeath, caring only for causing mortal death.

Description Summary:

Zyphus embodies catastrophic misfortune and engineered disasters. His worshippers work covertly through coded infosphere communications, planning sabotage missions ranging from vessel destruction to civilization-threatening apocalypses. The most powerful adherents, called Harvestmasters, wield divine pick-weapons and orchestrate large-scale devastation. Followers view themselves as liberators teaching mortals to expect sudden death, celebrating every lost soul equally—even those of other Zyphens.
