格拉里昂有着各种各样的神祗，有的是刚刚加入到神祗的行列，有的历史则可以追溯上千年。当的甚至在阿茲蘭特帝国初期便已经被顶礼膜拜。但在有史以前的时光中还存在着更为历史悠久的神祗，书本中所记载的神祗与祂们相比也显得相形见绌。这些拥有难以想象的历史与不可思议的力量的存在称为旧日支配者，祂们又侍奉着更为强大的外神。学者们为这些存在冠上了许多名号，但在格拉里昂，这些存在的信仰和祂们都被统称为上古神祗。
旧日支配者和外神并不驻留在伟大彼岸的外层位面。祂们其中的一部分会拜访或居住在遥远位面上的地区或层面，但大部分上古神祗里的成员都驻足于物质位面。但是祂们并非凡物。死亡并不能掌控旧日支配者，他们在被击败时只会陷入沉眠，等候下一次被唤醒的时机。而外神更是亘古不灭的存在。只要有人敢于细心观察，便可窥探出祂们所带来的影响。有的学者提出，外神比现存的最古老的神明还要久远，祂们诞生于时光之初，甚至正是祂们目睹了法莱斯玛的诞生才孕育出了生与死的概念。信奉墓土女士的信徒认为这些理论亵渎了他们的神，但教会里的睿智之士深知不应过于探索此事，因为事实可能即使是对法莱斯玛最坚定的信徒也无法承受。
这里详细描述了在格拉里昂最常被崇拜的上古神祗。崇拜祂们的邪教徒通常都较为疯狂。因此这些邪教徒一般都是对凡人生活产生威胁，但于神祗无碍。在终结之时，即使是最为虔诚的信徒也会在诡异的万古中逝去，而当恒星到达正确的位置之后，旧日神话将再次君临。

The gods of Golarion are diverse and varied, and
while some are newcomers to the ranks of the
divine, others date back millennia. Some of
those worshiped when the first architects of Azlant
were drawing up plans for their nascent empire are still
venerated today. But even in those early days, there were
older gods whose existence dwarfed even those who
helped shape the course of written history. These are the
unimaginably ancient and inconceivably potent Great
Old Ones, who in turn serve and worship the even greater
Outer Gods. Scholars call these entities by many names,
but on Golarion, their faiths and the entities themselves
are known as the Elder Mythos.
The Great Old Ones and Outer Gods do not reside
within the outer planes of the Great Beyond. Some visit
or dwell in regions or dimensions adjacent to those
distant planes, but the vast majority of those who make
up the Elder Mythos dwell on the Material Plane. Yet
they are anything but mortal. Death holds no claim over
the Great Old Ones, who merely dream when defeated,
waiting for another opportunity to work their wills once
again when they inevitably waken. And the Outer Gods
themselves have always been there. As far back as one
dares to peer, evidence of their influence can be found.
Some scholars propose that the Outer Gods predate
even the oldest of the gods, that they existed before time,
and that they recall the birth of Pharasma, and thus the
birth of life and death. Worshipers of the Lady of Graves
regard these theories as blasphemy, yet the wisest among
her clergy know better than to delve too deeply into such
matters, for the truth may not be something even the
staunchest of Pharasmin minds could bear to accept.
These pages detail the Elder Mythos gods who are
most often worshiped on Golarion. Cultists devoted to
the Elder Mythos are often quite insane. As such, it is the
cultists who most often threaten mortal affairs, not the
gods themselves. And in the end, even the most faithful
will succumb during those strange aeons when the stars
are right and the Elder Mythos rules again.

在每一个世界的最深处都有巨大的洞穴，在大多数情况下，这些洞穴早已被遗忘，或者根本没有被世界上的居民发现。在格拉里昂，这些深层的道路和隐藏的区域被称为幽暗之地，但类似的广泛地下网络同样也存在于无数其他世界。正是在这些被遗忘的午夜洞窟里，污秽之源——生命最初困境的原始粘土——阿布霍斯渗出、凝结并喷出其扭曲畸形的子嗣。
阿布霍斯有着超凡的学识和惊人的智慧，但它并没有把自己的思想投入到凡人能理解的事情上。与其说它是被困住，不如说祂是居住在一个与许多世界相连的洞穴里。这些从祂永续裂殖中诞生并逃过它无尽饥渴与贪婪暴食的生物，通过相互竞争吞噬而晋升，它们变的更加强壮巨大，存活的也更加的长久。其中最强大的则会在洞穴中寻找通往其他世界的古老门户，在那些世界里它们可以繁衍出属于自己的社会与族群。阿伯霍斯信徒坚信宇宙中所有的生命都是由污秽之神繁衍而来，而在我们的肉体与骨骼深处有着神圣的分泌物的痕迹。
阿伯霍斯看上去像一个巨大沸腾的湖泊，汹涌的原生质从它那不断生成与消耗的眼睛、嘴巴、四肢和其他器官里渗出。那些从它身体上脱落的造物会获得独立的意识，而通过它们阿伯霍斯可以看到、探索和腐化它们接触到的任何世界。

In the deepest reaches of every world lie vast caverns that, in most cases, have been long forgotten or simply never discovered by that world’s inhabitants in the first place. On Golarion, these deep pathways and hidden realms are known as the Darklands, but similar extensive networks exist on countless other worlds. It is in these forgotten midnight grottoes that Abhoth, the Source of Uncleanness, the Primal Clay of Life’s First Lurch, seeps and clots and spews forth its aberrant spawn.
Abhoth has an otherworldly wisdom and a staggering intellect, yet it does not devote its mind to matters that mortals could comprehend. It’s not so much trapped as it is cradled in a cavern lair connected to many worlds. The creatures it constantly spawns that manage to escape its ravenous gluttony and eternal hunger stagger upward through the knighted ways, growing stronger and larger the longer they survive. The greatest find paths through ancient portals in those caves to other worlds, where they may spawn entire societies and races of their own. Abhoth’s cultists maintain that all life in the universe was spawned by the Unclean God, and that in our flesh and bones lie traces of its divine excretions.
Abhoth appears as a vast lake of seething, surging, protoplasmic ooze in which eyes and mouths and limbs and organs constantly form and are consumed. Those creations that drip from its bulk gain sentience of their own, and through them Abhoth can see and explore and infect any world they touch.

蜘蛛神阿特拉克·纳卡的性别是一个迷—在一些故事中，祂被描绘为男性，但在另一些故事中又说祂是女性。事实上，对阿特拉克·纳卡而言性别构造的差异毫无意义。阿特拉克·纳卡居住在一个巨大到足以容纳整个国家的地下洞穴里，在那它编织着一张不可思议的复杂蛛网，横跨峡谷两岸。据称当祂的巨大桥梁彻底布满到这个复杂峡谷的所有角落的时候，一个疯狂的新时代将会开启。同时文本提到，外神阿贝霍斯将利用阿特拉克·纳卡的蛛网桥梁从祂那幽深洞穴里汹涌而出，而不仅仅是派遣它的子嗣。
那些阿特拉克·纳卡的信徒将蜘蛛外形的生物作为圣物。它的许多崇拜者都是蜘蛛类的生物，如蛛化精灵，伊特怪和女郎蜘蛛。后者混迹于人类社会时候常以阿特拉克·纳卡之名作为假名，但并不清楚它们盗用神名的目的。
阿特拉克·纳卡外形是一个巨大的红黑色蜘蛛，有着大如巨象的身体与细长的腿。它的脸是模糊不清的人形，在它的眼睛周围有一圈细毛，但在某些未被证实的传闻中，它也被描绘成有着复数手臂以及女子的身躯与头部。许多冷蛛将其尊为母亲，深信冷原下的那些隧道最将通向阿特拉克·纳卡那满布蛛网的峡谷巢穴。

The Spider God Atlach-Nacha is of an indeterminate gender—in some tales, he is portrayed as male, but in others she is female. In truth, constructs as prosaic as gender are but afterthoughts to Atlach-Nacha.Dwelling in a vast underground cavern large enough to swallow entire nations, Atlach-Nacha weaves an impossibly complex web to span the gulf. Texts claim that on the day its vast bridge finally connects all sides of this complex canyon, a new age of madness will be unleashed, while others purport that Atlach-Nacha’s web-bridges are to be used by the Outer God Abhoth to surge out of its deep cavern rather than sending forth only its spawn.
Those who venerate Atlach-Nacha see the divine in the spider’s form. Many of its worshipers are arachnid creatures, such as driders, ettercaps, and jorogumos. These latter beings have been known to take the name of Atlach-Nacha themselves when they invade human societies, although their goal in appropriating the god’s name is unclear.
Atlach-Nacha appears as a huge black-and-red spider with a body the size of an elephant and long, spindly legs. Its face is vaguely humanoid, with hair-rimmed eyes, but in certain obscure sources it has also been depicted as having multiple arms and a woman’s head and torso. Many of the spiders of Leng venerate it as their mother, and doubtless the tunnels below Leng eventually connect to Atlach-Nacha’s web-strewn canyon lair.

阿撒托斯，又被称为“盲目愚痴之神”，体现为一团如恒星般大小的毁灭性原生混沌质存在。阿撒托斯对万事万物毫无知觉，自然也不可能关注它是否有崇拜者存在。有些学者甚至认为，阿撒托斯连自我意识都不存在——祂只是一团在宇宙间毁灭一切的原子焰暴而已，混沌之核毫无明确的活动目标，对外界的刺激也无反应。不过考虑到它的形体与力量，如果阿撒托斯真的有想法回应它的信徒的话，可以想象它不可估计的能量足以在这一过程中毁灭绝大多数宇宙间较为弱小的生命存在。
无数的次级外神环绕在如一颗愤怒恒星般的阿撒托斯周围，形成了一个类似于太阳系的形态。根据从阿撒托斯之廷流传出的扭曲文本来看，这些强大的外神仆役时时刻刻都在以自己亵渎的吹奏和怪异的舞蹈应和它们的主君阿撒托斯剧烈的翻腾和混沌能量爆发。传说阿撒托斯存在的位置即是多元宇宙的中心，所以也有人认为，混沌之核就是万物初生的起始，主物质位面可能也是由祂而出。
崇拜这一混沌存在的邪教一直在尝试引导阿撒托斯无尽的能量为他们所用，虽然至今为止这种亵渎依然十分少见——只需一缕盲目愚痴之神力量的投影就可以将整个位面夷为废土。在历史记载中，索伊帝国（Shory）曾经成功的研究出了一种驾驭阿撒托斯力量为他们所用的技术。不过似乎也是这一愚行最终把这个帝国神秘的从世界上抹去了。）在一些古代文献中阿撒托斯也被称之为“魔神之首”，但这个称谓并不意味着它与众所周知的深渊恶魔有着任何联系，因为阿撒托斯无论对伟大彼岸还是其他事物都兴致缺缺。

CN Outer God of entropy, madness, and mindless destruction
Domains Chaos, Destruction, Madness, Sun, Void
Subdomains Catastrophe, Dark Tapestry, Entropy, Insanity,

Favored Weapon warhammer
Symbol eight-pointed star
Original Source H. P. Lovecraft, “Azathoth”
The so-called “blind idiot god” is a primal mass of mindless devastation and destruction the size of a star.Azathoth is unaware of its worshipers, and indeed has little interest in anything.Some scholars theorize that Azathoth isn’t even self-aware, likening the outer god to a cosmic firestorm on the grandest scale, an entity incapable of directing action or reacting to stimuli.
Azathoth is attended by an unknown number of other gods that orbit it as a solar system’s planets might orbit an angry star. Referred to in eldritch tomes as Azathoth’s Court, these lesser gods are themselves powerful beings whose insane songs and eerie piping provide a constant accompaniment to Azathoth’s chaotic babblings and thunderous explosions. Many worshipers of Azathoth liken the entities of Azathoth’s court to the true manifestation of their god’s conscious will. Although lesser than Azathoth, these gods are themselves quite powerful, and the greatest of them is none other than Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos.
Said to lie at the center of the universe, Azathoth is believed by some to be the source of all existence, the primal truth that created the Material Plane. Cultists of the Primal Chaos often seek to harness their blind god’s power for their own destructive ends, yet such attempts are fraught with peril, for the tiniest ripple caused by Azathoth’s thrashings can lay waste to entire planets.The Shory are said to have developed ways to harness this power, but it seems just as likely that tampering with such forces may have played a key role in that empire’s mysterious fall so long ago. Azathoth is referenced as the “Daemon Sultan” in some ancient texts, but this appellation does not imply any connection to the fiends known as daemons, for Azathoth has as little interest in matters of the Great Beyond as it does anything else.

Original Source Frank Belknap Long, “The Horror from the Hills”
The entity known as Chaugnar Faugn is ancient beyond imagining, a creature capable of existing in more dimensions than most could even guess at and surviving over epochs of time that birth and destroy worlds. For thousands of millennia, Chaugnar Faugn has dwelled, dormant and immobile, in a shallow cave lost within the depths of a desolate stretch of rugged hill country. This is how the Great Old One gained his appellation as the Horror from the Hills, and most of his more ardent worshipers are those who dwell in such backcountry. Yet he has no particular affinity to the slopes and vales that hide him; they are merely where he has waited for the past unknown eons.
Chaugnar Faugn’s faithful adopt the Great Old One’s patience. They are violent and eager for blood, yet they wait generations before acting on plans for vengeance or raids. Many times, the cultists’ enemies have believed them to have been exterminated after a brutal conflict,but each and every time, this was a misconception. The worshipers of the Horror from the Hills were merely content to wait for a proper chance at revenge. In those rare occasions when Chaugnar Faugn does wake,though, worship does nothing to deter his hunger; he feeds on zealots and unbelievers with equal disdain.
Chaugnar Faugn is vaguely humanoid in form, yet his head is that of a distorted, nightmarish elephant with vast veined ears, enormous curved tusks, and a trunk that ends in a large disk through which he drains the blood of those who draw too near.

有些人把加塔诺托亚视作克苏鲁，当然这两位旧日支配者间看上去确实有些相似之处。两者的身体都被囚禁在沉没岛屿的巨大建筑里。在远古时代，祂们都是从群星间的无尽虚空来到这遥远的世界。当祂们醒来，他们的行为会引起巨大的风暴与灾难，仿佛世界都因此而瑟瑟发抖。
然而不仅仅是外表相似，据称加塔诺托亚是克苏鲁的子嗣。“永恒之源”的信徒否认这一说法，并会攻击他们遇到的克苏鲁信徒。另一方面，克苏鲁信徒则将加塔诺托亚的信徒视若无物，并将其视作一群疯狂的凡人。
据说，“永恒之源”的狂信徒可以在遥远的世界里升起岛屿来自未知海域的岛屿，以便“永恒之源”新世界并展开蹂躏。
加塔诺托亚的外形据说极其可怕却众说纷纭；但唯一公认的是哪怕只是一瞥，就能把愚蠢的目击者变成活干尸，这些人依然能观察时间变化，感知光阴流逝，但却不能动弹分毫。这种不朽的形式据说是人类可以想象的最可怕的命运之一。

Original Source H. P. Lovecraft and Hazel Heald, “Out of the Aeons”
Some have likened Ghatanothoa to Cthulhu, and certainly there are superficial similarities shared by the two Great Old Ones. Both entities are trapped in immense structures atop sunken islands. Both came to the same distant world in ancient times from the dark places between the stars. And when they wake, their actions cause great storms or disasters, as if the world itself recoiled from their actions.
These similarities may be more than superficial, for evidence exists that Ghatanothoa may be one of Cthulhu’s spawn. The worshipers of the Eternal Source deny such claims, and fight against the cult of Cthulhu when they encounter it. Cthulhu’s cult, on the other hand, treats the worshipers
of Ghatanothoa as insignificant and no more worthy of notice than any other gathering of mortal madness.
The Eternal Source’s insane worshipers are said to be able to raise islands on distant worlds from unknown oceans that serve as portals between the Eternal Source and new vistas to conquer.
Ghatanothoa’s form is said to be particularly horrific, and no two accounts are the same; all they agree on is that the merest glance is enough to transform the foolish viewer instantly into a desiccated, living mummy capable of observing the world and feeling the endless passage of time, but incapable of moving or otherwise interacting with the world. This form of immortality is said to be among the most horrific fates a mortal mind could endure.

世界上所有极北之地的冻土都是“风行者”伊塔库亚的领土。祂能利用冷风跨越位面间的鸿沟，前往那些祂所感兴趣的世界，然而祂对世界的探索与影响几乎都局限于每个世界北极圈以内的地区。祂可以短时间的前往南方探索但无法长久，所以南方的居民对祂知之甚少。
然而在祂的领地之中，祂食人的习性与那些在随祂而来肆虐大地的怪物“温迪戈”铸成了祂赫赫恶名。通常某些伊塔库亚的信徒或非信徒的灵魂会引起祂的兴趣，祂会将这些人带往天空之上，甚至可能是其他的世界，祂如此行径的目的无人知晓，但那些被带走的人却有着相似的命运—从高空落下死于毁灭性的坠落或者被冻死在某个冻土荒野，又或者被转化成丧失所有生前记忆的温迪戈。
居住在冰原上的人们都知晓伊塔库亚的存在。祂看起来像人形，但祂的四肢纤长而枯瘦，祂的脚步声隐藏在狂风与暴雪的轰鸣声中。当祂前往某个世界，狂风暴雪会随之而来，但在雪地上依然会清晰的留下祂具有脚蹼的巨大脚印。那些目击者不会记得风行者的外貌，脑海里只会记得两个光点—就如同夜空中闪耀着奇异光芒的星辰—事实上这是祂的眼睛。

Original Source August Derleth, “The Thing That Walked on the Wind”
The frozen lands at all the worlds’ northern poles are the domains of Ithaqua, the Wind-Walker. He is capable of striding the gulfs between planets on icy winds to visit any world that might catch his interest, yet his explorations and influence over the worlds he treads upon seem to be curiously limited in scope to those regions above each world’s arctic circle. He can, for short periods of time, venture south, but never for long,and his touch is unknown in the southern reaches of these worlds.
Yet in his realm, he is greatly feared, for cannibalism and the monstrous creatures known as wendigos are rampant in the times before and after his visits. Ithaqua often takes a personal interest in certain souls, be they worshipers or unbelievers. He takes these folk into the skies and may even bring them to other worlds, yet his purpose in these abductions is unclear, for those who walk with Ithaqua always meet the same fate—a devastating fall from a great height resulting in either death in some frozen wilderness or transformation into a wendigo and the loss of all memories of a previous life.
Ithaqua is known by many names in icy regions. He appears humanoid in form, yet his limbs are long and gaunt, and his feet are often concealed in gusts and blasts of blizzard winds. When he visits, despite these winds that surround him, he leaves monstrous tracks in the snow that show webbing between the toes. Those who gaze upon the Wind-Walker often don’t remember his shape at all, only the two points of light—so like strange sparkling stars in the night sky—that are in fact his eyes.
Note that while Ithaqua does not grant the domain of Water, his clerics can take the subdomain of Ice.

被称为姆戈尔的古老存在在千古年前首次尝试进入格拉里昂，把这个星球的地壳当作孕育祂的子宫。由于未知原因，这次尝试失了；也许是因为群星还未归位，又或者是其他的存在在祂降生前阻止了祂。但祂的信徒们并不认为他们的神明降临失败了，他们坚信祂只是需要千万年的时间来慢慢孕育。教徒们也坚称姆戈尔诞生的时刻即将降临，并且这个旧日支配者——据说祂深藏于内海最高的山峰之下，那座柯达山脉(Kodar Mountains)中被称为姆戈尔山（Mhar Massif）的山峰——终将苏醒，祂将把阿维斯坦（Avistan）北部的大部分地区变成火焰与灰烬之地，然后蔓延到整个世界。邪教徒们深信，世界各地剧烈的地震运动以及火山活动等其他突发灾害的频繁发生都预示这一时刻的到来。而一些更加强大的姆戈尔信徒则通过在一些关键地点人为引发自然灾害的发生，来促进这一时刻的到来。
姆戈尔的真实相貌是未知的，因为理论上来说祂还没有诞生。在其教会的描述中，这个旧日支配者通常被描述成一个形似火山的巨兽，火山口排布着熔岩形成的尖牙，它的身躯上承载着被焚毁的森林，以及有着锋利的水晶构成的肢体。

Original Source Greg A. Vaughan, “The Spires of Xin-Shalast”
The ancient entity known as Mhar first attempted to enter Golarion eons ago, using the planet’s crust as a womb. The attempt to manifest failed for unknown reasons; perhaps the alignment of the planets was not right, or perhaps other entities acted to still the birth before it came to term. Yet Mhar’s cult believes not that their god failed to be born, but rather that its gestation is merely one measured in eons. The cult further believes that the time for Mhar’s birth draws near, and that when the Great Old One—said to dwell deep under the tallest mountain in the Inner Sea region, a peak in the Kodar Mountains known as Mhar Massif—finally wakens, it will transform much of northern Avistan into a new realm of fire and ash that will spread across world. The time of this birth, the cult believes, can be predicted by a sudden increase in the number of violent, fatal earthquakes and sudden instances of volcanism throughout the world, and some of Mhar’s more powerful worshipers seek to hasten that birth by triggering their own tectonic disasters in key places.
Mhar’s true shape is unknown, for the deity technically has yet to enter existence. In images created by its cult, the Great Old One is generally depicted as a volcano-shaped leviathan, its caldera surrounded by huge fangs of molten lava and its slopes bearing forests of terrifying, razor-sharp crystal limbs.

在遥远的过去，莫尔迪基安是食尸鬼之神，然而随着这些亡灵散布到无数世界，它们中的许多早已迷失了方向，并陷入了堕落。这些食尸鬼已经忘记了那个藏骸所之神，只有那些没有堕落居住于冷原的一小部分族群，现在依然维持着古老的仪式。
而现在，莫尔迪基安的主要崇拜者是人类，他们将它尊奉为死亡之神，而在旁人看来，这些男女更像是一群食尸鬼。他们通过邪恶的仪式与外科手术，将自己四肢与面容转变得如同食尸鬼一般可怖。在一些无法容忍怪物的城市里，祂的崇拜者们会穿着厚重的斗篷，戴着银色面具来掩盖自己的身形。莫尔迪基安的神殿大多是宏伟的陵墓—坐落在城市最显著之处的大教堂中。拥有这种大教堂的城市没有公墓，因为莫尔迪基安祭祀们收集死者的尸体，并将尸体免费安置在他们神圣的窖室中进行“处置”。因此，罕有亡灵或尸体携带的传染疾病在莫尔迪基安注视下的城市里传播，但有时祂的祭祀们太过渴求收集“死尸”，而将一些只是处于昏迷或者假死昏睡的人带走，哪怕他们原本可以醒来。
莫尔迪基安是一团鲜活的云状阴影，能够在其中凝聚躯体的全部或者部分，成为祂所需要的形态，无论是形成一条狭长卷曲的肢体以攫取棺材台上的可口食物，还是向那些胆敢踏入只有死者才能进入的殿堂的生者宣泄它的怒火。藏骸所之神最喜爱的形态是一条巨大的蠕虫，一圈触手排列在它的巨口四周；这种有着尖牙的巨口往往出现在它的徽记上。

Original Source Clark Ashton Smith, “The Charnel God”
In ancient times, Mordiggian was the god of ghouls, yet as these undead spread throughout the countless worlds, many of them lost their way and fell into decadence. These ghouls have forgotten the Charnel God, and only pockets of those from Leng who have not degenerated maintain the ancient rites today.
Mordiggian’s primary worshipers in the modern era are humans who venerate him as a death god, yet to the untrained eye, these men and women are little more than ghouls themselves. Using vile rituals and surgical practices, they transform their limbs and visages into ghoulish countenances. In cities where such grotesqueries would cause incident,his worshipers wear heavy cloaks and silver masks to hide their shapes. Mordiggian’s temples are grand mausoleum-cathedrals placed in positions of prominence in their cities. Cities that host such temples have no graveyards of their own, for the priests of Mordiggian collect the bodies of the dead and place them, free of charge,into their sacred vaults for “disposal.” As such, undead and corpse-borne disease are rare contagions in cities under Mordiggian’s care, yet sometimes his priests are too eager in gathering the “dead,” and have been known to take away those in comas or deathlike trances from which they could have recovered.
Mordiggian is a living cloud of darkness, capable of congealing and coalescing all or portions of his form within the inky depths to serve his needs, whether he’s manifesting a long, grasping limb to pluck a ripened morsel from a coffin-platter, or visiting his wrath upon those who dare to tread upon halls where only the dead may walk. The Charnel God’s favored form is that of an immense worm with a set of grasping tentacles arrayed around a central maw; this fanged maw appears often in the god’s symbology.

当人死后，他们的灵魂从肉体上分离进入灵魂长河（River of Souls），在那里他们最终被带到法莱斯玛的骨园接受最终审判。然而，这条河和任何一条河一样绝非安全。猎食者在灵魂长河概念上的岸边与深处狩猎，渴望在他们被送上最终审判之前，将飘浮的灵魂抓出并吞食。神秘的希姆巴洛丝以这些掠食者为食，并陶醉于那些自认为是死者猎人的家伙的喉管中已经消化的灵魂。
希姆巴洛丝最常出现的区域是泥泞的沼泽，荒芜的海岸或偏远的河域。祂的信徒们认为鬼火（will-o’-wisps）就是祂的眼睛，他们相信当一个人知道死亡即将来临时，他所忍受的恐惧就是祂的呼吸。虽然那些死去的人知道悲伤和痛苦，但他们的灵魂总有一天会得到升华。但那些被希姆巴洛丝所触及的人只能感受死亡的痛苦。他们无法轮回，因其生命已经真正终结。
空虚的死亡没有形体，但在那些祂常出没的地带游荡的，备受折磨的无面亡灵身上，却可以看到祂存在的证据。野生动物在这些地区变得更具有敌意，植物长出怪异而可憎的眼睛并且渴求血肉的滋养。河岸或岛屿海岸上奇怪的标记—由七块完全间隔的草皮组成的一簇干土碎片—被认为是祂的指纹。在希姆巴洛丝狩猎的地方，连世界也会畏缩。

When mortals die, their souls slip from the flesh and enter the River of Souls, where they are eventually carried to Pharasma’s Boneyard to be judged. Yet this river, as with any river, is not wholly without peril. Predators hunt the metaphysical banks and depths of the River of Souls, eager to pluck out and devour drifting souls before they can be sent on to their final rewards. Mysterious Nhimbaloth feeds upon those predators, and revels in the digestion of souls already being digested in the gullets of those who would deem themselves the hunters of the dead.
Nhimbaloth’s presence is most often felt in tangled swamps, desolate shorelines, or remote stretches of river. Her cultists hold that will-o’-wisps are her eyes and believe that the fear one endures when one knows death is near is her breath. While those who die know grief and pain, their souls can one day go on to be something greater. But those touched by Nhimbaloth know only the agony of death. They do not go on. They simply end.
The Empty Death is shapeless, yet evidence of her presence can be seen in the tortured, faceless undead that often haunt places she has brushed against. Wildlife grows more antagonistic in these areas, and plants grow strangely hateful to the eye and eager to tear the flesh. Strange markings on riverbanks or island shores—clusters of seven perfectly spaced divots of crumbling dry earth—are thought to be her fingerprints. Where Nhimbaloth has hunted, the world itself recoils.

在阿维斯坦（Avistan）中部地下深处的黑血之地，诡秘冰冷的湖泊中不断翻滚且冒着气泡。虽然外观和稠度与原油相似，事实上这种黑血摸上去冻得要命，却可以支持和诞生不朽的肉体。正是在这些水域里诞生了被称为黑水怪（charda）的种族，而它们中的主宰者就是无面之神，奥格什。
奥格什已经不再居住在黑血之地，把祂自己的孩子们遗弃在那里。尽管他们仍然崇拜祂，一直被造物主忽视对黑水怪们产生了积极的影响—他们依旧保持着难以名状的面貌，但不再被残暴欲望和无止境的饥饿所驱使。那些记得但不崇拜奥格什的人相信，无面之神为了其他造物抛弃了自己的孩子，因为在遥远的西方，在無形海（Sightless Sea）最深、最黑暗的海沟里，有人发现了其新的造物。奥格什没有成组织的教团，它的信徒们把彼此视为最大的威胁。有人认为，通过献祭一个无面之神信徒的骨肉便可以继承祭品的信仰，最后当信徒只剩下一个的时候，奥格什将会降临，并让最后的信徒自奥瓦（Orv）释放一个新的种族—一个在末日降临之前都不会停止扩张的种族。
没有一个生灵见过奥格什的面目，但它的雕像却奇怪地不受侵蚀，这也是那便是其面容或没有面容的传说来源。这些雕像把奥格什描绘成一个模模糊糊的人形，有着巨大的腹部，爪子和狗一样的腿，但除了张开的嘴巴长满了鲨鱼的牙齿再无其他面部特征。

In the Land of Black Blood deep below central Avistan, strange lakes of frozen fluid bubble and roil. Similar in appearance and consistency to crude oil, this black blood is freezing cold to the touch, yet bolsters and invigorates undead flesh. It was within these un-waters that the race known as the charda were spawned, and first among their kind was the Faceless God, Orgesh.
Orgesh no longer dwells in the Land of Black Blood,having abandoned its children to that realm. Although they still worship it, generations of neglect have had a positive effect on the charda—they retain their unpredictable ways, yet are no longer driven by cruelty and vengeful hunger. Those who remember but do not venerate Orgesh believe the Faceless God abandoned its children for others found far to the west in the deepest, darkest trenches of the Sightless Sea. Orgesh has no organized cult, and its followers see each other as the greatest threat.Some believe that by consuming the flesh and bones of a fellow devotee of the Faceless God, one can take in that devotee’s faith, and that when but one worshiper remains, Orgesh will return to use this final fanatic to unleash a new race upon the vaults of Orv—a race that may not stop its expansion until all has been consumed.
None alive has looked upon Orgesh, yet statues of it remain strangely impervious to erosion,and thus provide evidence of its visage, or lack thereof. These statues depict Orgesh as a vaguely humanoid figure with a hugely distended belly, clawed and doglike legs, and an open mouth filled with shark’s teeth, but with no other facial features whatsoever.

诡秘且沉默的兰·提戈斯与夏乌戈纳尔·法格恩有一些相似之处，因为祂们大多数时间都在等待中度过。经文中提到过一个兰·提戈斯还活跃的时期，祂统治着一个位于格拉里昂以外的未知世界的北方帝国，但在它的崇拜者抛弃祂后，兰·提戈斯变成了未知物质构成的雕像。然而哪怕是处于静止无法活动的状态下，那些待在奇异的雕像附近的人发现，自己会产生越来越强烈的献祭冲动—显然，仅仅是靠近祂，这位上古生物的思想就足以影响到那些智力低于祂的凡物。
虽然兰·提戈斯苏醒的周期及其活动的记录罕见且难以信服，但仍有传言说某些圣歌能够短暂将祂从永恒沉眠中唤醒并解除其静止的状态。人们只能推测这些圣歌的作用，因为苏醒的旧日支配者总会吞噬那些胆敢轻率地唤醒它的人。古籍上记载，当兰·提戈斯苏醒的时候，终焉之时（the End Times）就会降临到说哟世界上。但是没人知道，到底是末日唤醒了终焉的先驱者，还是祂的苏醒让一切迎来终结。传说，若兰·提戈斯彻底死亡，所有世界就能避免末日降临，但即便是神明对于不朽之物也束手无策。

Strange and silent Rhan-Tegoth bears some similarities to Chaugnar Faugn in that much of its existence seems to have been spent in waiting. Texts mention a time when Rhan-Tegoth was active and alive and ruled an empire to the north on an unknown world far beyond Golarion, yet when its worshipers abandoned it, Rhan-Tegoth transformed into an immobile statue of an unknown material. Yet immobility should not in this case be taken for inactivity, as those who spend time in proximity to this strange statue find themselves compelled to undertake increasingly violent sacrifices before the slumbering Great Old One—mere proximity is apparently enough to enable the ancient entity’s mind to reach out and influence lesser intellects than its own.
While records of Rhan-Tegoth’s waking periods and its activities during those times are rare and unreliable, rumors persist of certain chants capable of temporarily stirring the god from its eternal hibernation and restoring life and mobility to its petrified form. What purpose such chants could serve, one can only guess,for the Great Old One invariably devours those with the temerity to rouse it. The ancient texts do agree that when Rhan-Tegoth does finally waken of its own accord, the End Times themselves shall be upon all worlds. Yet it is unclear whether the apocalypse wakens the Herald of the End Times, or whether the god’s wakening triggers the end of all. Legends state that if Rhan-Tegoth could be eradicated, this shared apocalypse could be forever avoided, yet a method of destroying something that fundamentally embodies immortality has baffled even the gods.
Many statues of Rhan-Tegoth exist, and it can be difficult, if not impossible, to discern which of these is the actual slumbering god. These statues depict a creature with a globular torso; six long, sinuous limbs tipped in crablike pincers; and a head with three fishy eyes and a long proboscis.

Some maintain the specific underground realm ruled by Tsathoggua is a blue-lit realm called K’n-Yan, while others say the denizens of K’n-Yan rose up against Tsathoggua and drove him from that realm to a deeper lair where even light dreads to go—a dark tangle of caverns called N’kai.
Tsathoggua has a strange, almost whimsical nature;while evil and unpredictable, at times he can appear almost benevolent in his dealings with mortals. Yet such dealings are never long-lived, and more often than not end in tragedy for those who would treat with the Great Old One.

The sentient infestation known as Xhamen-Dor, first cultivated in the sewers of the alien city of Carcosa, infected and transformed countless worlds before some ancient catastrophe or miscalculation nearly destroyed it. Reduced to a single blot of fungoid sentience trapped within a comet, the Great Old One eventually came to Golarion during Earthfall, accidentally plucked from the sky just as the Starstone was in the aboleths’ assault upon the doomed nation of Azlant. Where Xhamen-Dor’s comet came to rest is unknown, but its cult agrees that the fallen star that bears the Great Old One’s core lies in the depths of a large but remote lake somewhere in the world.
Since that date, Xhamen-Dor has slowly begun wakening, growing and sending filaments of its fungoid body throughout the world to rise up here and there to infest and spread. Those infected by the Inmost Blot first become sickly, then begin to simultaneously decay and transform, eventually becoming undead monsters animated by a combination of necromantic energy and the alien fungal masses that writhe in their cores.Cultists of Xhamen-Dor often take these parasitic creatures into themselves under the belief that they will live on as part of the creatures that emerge from their bodies, but just as often use unsuspecting sacrifices to serve as hosts.
Foul Xhamen-Dor is said to have once resembled a tangled mass of fungoid tendrils growing from the shattered bones of some ancient reptilian life-form, though what nightmarish shape
the slowly growing blight has taken on today is unknown.

在所有旧日支配者中—事实上，是在上古神话中提及的所有神袛们——蛇之父无疑是最为仁慈的。然而，那些愚蠢到期待伊格的善意的人最好三思，因为伊格不会容忍愚人，祂很可能会吞噬那些恳求祂帮助的人，因其便是祂赐予的帮助。即使是伊格最虔诚的信徒也知道神明有时只是单纯的想进食，在这种情况下，没有任何一种献祭能挽救祈求者死亡的命运。
伊格的主要崇拜来自于游牧民族和那些与生活的土地有密切联系的人；而在城市地区则罕有祂的信徒。它会保护那些虔诚供奉祂的族群，尤其是他们四季都遵循着复杂的遵从仪典以示对祂的信仰。祂的恩惠能带来农牧和捕猎的丰收以及强壮健康的婴儿—有时候，完美的受孕被认为是伊格的功劳，特别是由此诞下的孩子眉间有新月状的胎记时。相反，当一个族群触怒了伊格，孩子生来便会伴有残废或可怕的畸形，其母难产而死，其父则精神错乱。尽管伊格通过蛇的行为来传达神谕，但祂却很少受到蛇人的崇拜。事实上，蛇之父长期以来都在与耶德修斯（Ydersius，蛇人信仰的古老神明）交战，不过在耶德修斯被斩首后，伊格就把注意力转移到了别处。

Of all the Great Old Ones—indeed, of all the gods of the Elder Mythos—the Father of Serpents is without a doubt the most benign. Yet those who would be so foolish as to expect kindness from Yig would do well to think again, for Yig does not suffer fools and is as likely to devour those who beseech him for aid as he is to provide aid. Even Yig’s most devout worshipers realize the god may simply wish to feed at times, and on these occasions, no amount of devotion can protect the supplicant from death.
Yig is worshiped primarily by nomadic societies and those who live with a close connection to the land;veneration of him is all but unknown in urban regions. He protects communities that honor him in the right ways,particularly if they follow the complex rituals required of his worship through the seasons. His favor can result in bountiful harvests, good hunts, and strong and healthy babies—at times immaculate conceptions are attributed to Yig, particularly if the resulting children bear crescent-shaped birthmarks upon their brows. Conversely, when a society has displeased or failed Yig, its children are born with crippling or monstrous deformities that leave mothers dead and fathers insane. Yig speaks through the actions of serpents, yet he is rarely worshiped by serpentfolk. Indeed, the Father of Serpents has long been at war with the god Ydersius, although since the decapitation of Ydersius, Yig has turned his attentions elsewhere.
Yig appears as a scaled,humanoid creature with a serpent’s head and lashing tail, or as an immense rattlesnake with a crescent-shaped mark upon the brow.
