So there's a sense that WotR could easily point out several of the social injustices of the Pathfinder setting, whether perpetuated by "mortal" society or by the deities themselves, but the game deliberately refrains from doing so, because it's just how Pathfinder is, and it's a Pathfinder game. I immediately went "aha, this is the perfect opportunity to compare the treatment of Tieflings with Aasimars, and reveal that pre-judging anyone from their racial heritage is a Bad Thing", but no, the game just leaves it as "Aasimars are Good, and evil ones are a rare exception". And the Tiefling characters and those associated with them all argue that this is a ridiculous prejudice that right-thinking people should never succumb to.Īnd then later there are examples of Aasimars who are villainous, and the characters go "oh, what a tragedy for an Aasimar to turn to evil", as though it's assumed that Aasimars are "inherently" good due to the Celestial bloodline, and an evil one is some major and historical exception.
Like, there's quite a bit of dialogue about how Tieflings are seen as "inherently" evil or at least naughty, due to the demon/devil bloodline. And so the narrative just played the weirdly problematic elements completely straight, or at least the parts that seemed problematic to me, someone unfamiliar with Pathfinder's setting. I did notice a few significant times in WotR where it seemed like some sort of social commentary was going to be made, but it never happened. Kind of like the Hilor vs Spinner Of Nightmares thing. The only possibility of "Areelu's memories are unreliable" I can imagine is that in the Secret Lab area, while we see Areelu's daughter as like ten years old, she was actually twenty in reality when she got murdered by the witch hunters, and Areelu just kept thinking of her as "my little girl".
Like, what could her daughter have done that deserved such a sentence? (Summoning demons is clearly not sufficient, given all the demon-summoning that takes place in Kingmaker and WotR, including potentially by the player party via scrolls.) If you’re having trouble with the process you can check out this nifty Youtube video.I did feel it was weird that Areelu says her daughter's soul was sentenced to the Abyss, but we never hear from either Areelu or Pharasma why. She will thank you for your cooperation and you may carry on with the Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous quest. Once Nenio’s questions and answers are complete, she will be flabbergasted at your knowledge. You should also gain experience points from the completion of Nenio’s questions and answers in Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous. The correct answer for this is number two, “The Architect of the Worldwound.” If you have succeeded at a knowledge (world) check then you will see a clue to this at the top of the scroll. What is the title that Areelu Vorlesh bears? Is she the Architect of the Worldwound, the Lord of the Labyrinth, or the Border Acquisitor of the Shapeless Abyss? Nenio will follow this with some dates relating to the history of the game, none of which you need to remember for the final question. The correct response to Nenio’s question is answer number three, “No he didn’t.” The game will give you a lore (religion) check on this section. Did Aroden take part in any crusade before he died?
