Golarion is a pretty standard Forgotten Realms-like setting. Mainly, I just thought it would help people to read the race and class entries for things they were interested in. Also, reading about Cheliax and the general history might be useful. However, most importantly, if you don't want to do that much homework, just read the stuff I have on the obsidian portal site and know that Cheliax was once the greatest human empire in the realm. On the eve of what was prophetized as being a great moment for their society, their patron god died, all their clerics suddenly cut off and powerless. Now, in their need to recover their lost power, they have turned to diabolism. Devils are openly worshipped and the state deity is Asmodeus (not a nice guy). The Isle of Phara and the cities Sasserine and Cauldron were once colonies of Cheliax, but are now independent city states (As a result of the empire's fall from power)I'll just post some random ideas here..feel free to completely disregard.A mercenary caravan guard - Perhaps you see the job opportunities that working in Cauldron as an adventurer as a way to fill your purse, or maybe you just got tired of risking your life for wealthy merchants.An ex-city guardsman - Drummed out of the guard for dereliction of duty, you are seeking a way to atone. Or perhaps you are just tired of the city turning a blind eye to the actions of the thieve's guild and wish to do something more.A stranded corsair - Maybe you escaped the fate of your corsair crew by slipping off the ship when the Sasserine authorities caught up to them...or maybe your captain booted you off the ship for refusing to do obey orders. The end result is, you are stuck on the island, a sailor without a ship. You've decided to work odd jobs to make some money.A dwarf seeking the history of a lost clan. Centuries ago, a branch of your clan set out on a journey through the Darklands (Underdark) to seek out new riches. Initial reports of the discovery of vast quantities of mineral wealth excited your people. Not long after the new city was founded, the tunnels they used to travel underneath the Arcadian Ocean collapsed. All contact was lost. Years later, the head of your clan has sent you to investigate the Isle of Phara for signs of your lost clansmen.</blockquote>
