I am recording, 5 pages in, keep having to stop for nosebleeds...but this script is up to 12,491 words. send help I can't stop adding more mid recording. Must tell you more about how wonderful Pharasma is!

You know, Pharasma? Our the goth queen of death and fate and rebirth? The one even the gods will eventually be sorted by?

Pharasma, who made armies of creatures to protect souls, guide them, heal them, give them fucking therapy, all so they would be truly at peace when the time for judgement comes. Who loves us, and stays so cold and distant because we deserve fairness. Who felt so much grief at the passing of a once-mortal god that her oracles across the planes were wracked with pain.

You know, Pharasma? Her consort is the first soldier to die with love on his lips, and she took him in to understand mortal feelings better? Where they hold an intimate emotional connection to this day? Pharasma. Oldest in existence, older THAN existence, the only remnant of the previous reality. Her daughter is rumored to follow suit one day. Somewhere in her boneyard, amid the black roses and under the grinning moon of madness that will one day turn off the lights of the universe. She would know, she sees all of a creature's possible fates. Yes, you're not being judged in a vacuum, she knows all reasonable options you had given your circumstance. You're judged on which you locked in. Pharasma. I could go on like this about so many, but perhaps none deserve it more than her. Than the one who knows all but says nothing, for she keeps all secrets out of respect and love of the dead.

4584 AR: Birth of Salim Ghadafar https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Salim_Ghadafar Salim Ghadafar was a member of the Pure Legion. He made a name for himself hunting down clerics and religious paraphernalia in the atheist nation. He was forced by Pharasma to serve as her agent.

I once made a cleric in Pathfinder 1e who was a cleric of Pharasma and she would often talk about how death wasn't even that big of a deal. She would tell people suicide is fine and death isn't even the worst thing that can happen to you.

She wanted to fuck Pharasma like crazy, she spent 400 gold summoning a minion from the boneyard just to send it back to tell Pharasma that she loves her. I prepared a list of titles and accolades that she would have a psychopomp list off when she died to try and impress Pharasma including being called "The Grim Reap-Her" because she is killer at sex.
