used to be or never were pose great danger to the world
that is. The First World is a place of powerful spirits and
ancient customs and politics. It is said that the fey have
a window into the First World, that they might indeed
be a part of it, but to the ordinary man and woman of
Golarion it is legend, a place glimpsed only in fever
dreams and youthful innocence. A place of peerless
beauty and limitless danger.
Golarion has no shortage of dangers all its own, and
the world is rife with opportunities for exploration and
excitement. The old prophecies have failed and the future
is uncertain. The heroes of the current age will be those
who step forward to meet the challenges and dangers of
Golarion and claim its treasures and glory for themselves.
A world of adventure awaits!
Time
Golarion spins on its axis once every 24 hours. Weeks
consist of seven days, with 52 weeks per year. Each year
has 12 months, each of which corresponds to a popular
deity. For ease of use, this book conforms to the dating
conventions used by the city of Absalom, a massive
independent city-state whose history spans dozens of
human empires. Absalom’s expansive inf luence ensures
that the city’s calendar has achieved great popularity
throughout the world, though many independent nations
maintain their own systems.
