I do not feel particularly qualified to write a full-fledged setting book, but I am willing to offer what assistance I can, free of charge. I have studied the Zeitgeist adventure path extensively and have discussed it heavily in-depth with others; I feel as though I could write a thesis on...

What makes you say that skyseeing, astrology, and astronomy are all primal, anyway? Do even the Obscurati's astrologers and astronomers, like Nathan Jierre over in Axis Island, and Thornsenkertz and Gangenwieck over in Knütpara, make use of primal magic techniques? A mad shootist's shrink rays...

I know that RangerWickett has been looking into Pathfinder 2e recently, so what would the following Zeitgeistian types of magic fall under, as far as arcane vs. divine vs. occult vs. primal? • Astrology, astronomy, and skyseeing magic? I am thinking primal, though it has always been a little...

My DM is arkwright above, for reference.

My 4e campaign is currently near the end of book #12. One character has had the inexplicable narration power since we reached 12th level (in 4e), and I can count the number of times they have used it on a single hand. Our DM has been very mild with the power, and its output usually does not...

I do not think any product is immune to criticism. I am pointing out the parts that suffered precisely because of the authors having had to juggle so many plot threads.

The Elfaivar situation indeed seems like one of the least fleshed-out bits of the entire adventure path, yes. I would have handled it significantly differently myself. The Dreaming and how fey actually work is also terribly underdeveloped for everything outside of Dreaming Risur, which is...

What do "ancestors" and "closely affiliated with the Dreaming" actually mean in this context? How does it affect their fey status, and what does it mean for their present-day relation with, say, the Dreaming and the Unseen Court? Does the Unseen Court even exist outside of Dreaming Risur? Is...

Another thing that confuses me is the part where eladrin are fey, but the adventure path never, ever actually acknowledges this. Are they originally from the Dreaming? How does that work?

Essentially, what you are saying is that Kasvarina Varal was, pre-amnesia, the de facto unifier of many eladrin enclaves and pushed them towards the more radical and traditionalist side of Vekeshi mysticism, while not being a Vekeshi mystic herself. Presumably, people never figured out that...

But why was Kasvarina not, herself, a Vekeshi mystic of the radical extremist variety? It does not seem incompatible with her Obscurati leanings. Is Cula Ravjahani, for example, not a Vekeshi mystic, and also Kasvarina's second-in-command? Is Cula a Vekeshi mystic of the radical extremist...

I never once thought that Elfaivar itself has achieved sexual parity by this point. Is there some sort of stigma concerning female eladrin traveling overseas? Do people outside of Elfaivar know that Elfaivar itself has achieved sexual parity? You seem to be confirming that there is a difference...

That is not a bad first draft, but it raises a few points about eladrin culture that I am still a touch confused on. Firstly, it does not seem like Vekeshi's philosophy has actually filtered into the eladrin all that much. The player's guide and even book #8 make a big fuss about how Vekeshi is...

Sentosa, Akela Sathi (Lonely Companion). Themes are "elf brothel, wat do?" and a serious examination of the ramifications of the Akela Sathi system on eladrin society, relationships, marriages, family structures, child-raising, and expectations on both men and women. Your move. My own GM...

I am a player in the above game. The way I am personally handling this in my own game (with me as the DM) is tying this to the myth of Jhial-el-Avilona's murder at the hands of Khor-el-Jiese. Jiese is the plane that provides the functioning of precision technology to the Waking, and Avilona's...

And do duplicants work inside Methia?

What is there to say that the PCs would use the NPC's healing surges, any more than they would use the NPC's hit points? I am still not seeing the source of objection to using a hired gun's corpse anyway. The PCs have likely been doing shadier things since much earlier into the adventure path...

I have not had a look at your list for various reasons, but I am fairly sure that various nameless Obscurati mooks in encounters have decent Dexterity and Constitution scores for mental/mental characteers to hijack the corpses of. We are already into book #7 and we are struggling with many of...

What exactly is the issue with using corpses for the ritual? It is not as though the PCs will not be killing bad guys from time to time, and it is not as though the ritual would cause the PC to be moving around in a corpse.
