jossed. word of god is that he is definitely dead and will stay so.

[[WMG: The Starstone Test is about your fear]]
The Starstone actually represents the greatest fear of mortal life - the unknown. Nothing frightens us more, so the Starstone presents each applicant with a different Test, designed against their greatest fear. If you think about it, the only 4 to ever have passed the test are an Immortal, a Drunk, a Paladin, and an Assassin, all of whom were suited to pushing beyond their fear.

[[WMG: Norgorber was a worshiper of Hastur when he was still a mortal.]]
Norgorber's divine form is similar to that of Hastur's, an invisible body wrapped in a cloak; his title, the Reaper of Reputations, takes it's real world inspiration from one of the short stories from ''TheKingInYellow'', which is the inspiration for Hastur.

T He \"magic machines\" serve to A: help Rasputin steal Baba Yaga\'s powers, and B: explain why there are supernatural creatures present. Nothing is said about magic not working beyond those points, Earthers have just forgotten it.


* Book Five of the Reign of Winter adventure path (Entitled "Rasputin Must Die!") does just that - the search for Baba Yaga brings you to the world of her birth. Magic still works in a specific area for certain reasons, and characters can pick up and attempt to operate Nagants.

Magic still works in a birth, during UsefulNotes/WorldWarOne. The specific area for certain reasons, is an out-of-the-way prison camp where Rasputin, his supernatural minions and characters the players can pick all throw down without messing things up too much. The human soldiers there are blithe to the magic thanks to a combination of their training and attempt the Film/{{Nosferatu}} chaplains keeping them all under CharmPerson effects to operate Nagants.make them [[WeirdnessCensor oblivious to the supernatural things they're seeing]].

Cthulhu is supposed to be slumbering on a distant world - obviously Earth. So there's an opportunity to use the CthulhuMythos as a bridge for Pathfinder characters to visit Earth. However, unless Paizo wants to get ambitious and use this as a launch for a Pathfinder Modern game, they probably won't visit modern Earth. The simplest solution would be to drop the characters somewhere in Earth's past. My personal hope would be for the [[ThirtyYearsWar Thirty Years' War]] - a little more advanced than Pathfinder (ubiquitous guns), full of religious intolerance, and generally not a fun place to be.

[[WMG: The 4th Bestiary will '''not''' stat Cthulhu]]
The cover of Pathfinder Bestiary 4 appears to show the great old one [[CthulhuMythos Cthulhu]]. Let's think about this, Chtulhu is essentially a God and in Pathfinder Gods stas usally look something like this:

CR: HaHaHaNo.

So what's the creature shown on the cover? This tropers theory: Star-Spawn. They've been statted before, just not in one of the bestiaries and they've been depicted as being beatable (albeit very difficult to kill).

[[WMG: Aroden killed himself]]
Why? Just before his scheduled return, he saw a prophecy. Something bad on the 'Rovagug gets out" scale. The only way to disrupt it required a major sacrifice. Something akin to the life of a God.

*Considering that he traveled into the dark tapestry, it was likely one of the outer gods. There's a good chance he ran into Nyarlathotep (who operates around Golarion) or worse yet stumbled into Azathoth's court.

Aroden had fostered two goddesses risen from mortal humanity, Aranzi and Iomedae, because he knew he would need a successor. Either something was coming for him, or some inevitable threat was on its way that would require a HeroicSacrifice from Aroden, the last [[{{LastOfHisKind}} Azlanti]] on the planet, himself.

[[WMG: Imrijka is actually a [[GirlGenius Jägermonster]].]]
She definitly would not look out of place if depicted in GirlGenius: She has green skin and fangs and wears clothes that fit perfectly, most importantly the hat. She probably was somehow teleported to Golarion- which could be both thanks to a Spark's experiment or due to conjuration, and has false memories according to which she is a half-orc.

[[WMG: Nethys is really [[CthulhuMythos Nyarlathotep]].]]
We've been told in many places that Narly had a great deal of influence over ancient Osirion, but in "Lost Kingdoms" it is revealed that Nethys manipulated the first Pharaoh and his successors to create and shape the kingdom. Perhaps the insane god of magic, creation, and destruction is really the Dark Pharaoh in a guise that lets him be worshiped alongside the more conventional deities without raising an alarm?

[[WMG: Aroden fell into a black hole.]]
That's why his death couldn't be foretold: because the "no information can escape" rule applies to ''metaphysical'' information being flung backwards in time (the raw material of prophecy) as well as mundane stuff. (Not to mention all the temporal weirdness inherent in black holes and such.)

Lamashtu is the three-eyed Mother of Monsters and associated with childbirth and fertility. "Born This Way" is "the manifesto of Mother Monster", features lots of weird birthing imagery, and shows Gaga with an extra eye in the opening monologue. Consider also that Lamashtu is the goddess of madness and nightmares, and Gaga's videos are known for their generous doses of creepiness and [[MindScrew WTFery]].
