"I would be surprised if nobody's tried it but if they have I don't know what results they got." 

"Fair enough. Extreme time dilation could explain some of the spell preparation irregularity, I think at least on Golarion every cleric getting spells at dawn and skipping a day if they constantly teleport to different times of day is probably treaty-negotiated."

"I think our treaties must be different because we...have fewer evil gods." 

"I'm not sure that actually directly implies much, it could be that this planet is just not a high priority for evil gods for whatever reason."

"Well, that's fair, but it seems like it would affect what treaties govern this planet? Like, in the ordinary course of things, the Good gods do more things than I remember from Golarion. Our infant mortality rate is lower, for instance, and was even before we got a bunch of nifty crop-related innovations recently. Governments that suck get overthrown way more often than ones that don't. Stuff like that." 

"...huh. Maybe Good won a - persistent victory here a long time ago, and fewer of those things involve active acute intervention than it looks like?"

"I don't know. Maybe. ...But we're having some trouble lately, because...remember what I said, about ex-mortals and demigods being better at functioning around the interference?"

"Yes?"

"Our evil god situation here is one ancient evil god and a number of ex-mortal evil demigods. I don't actually know how many, we're seeing activity from cults of Dread Lords we thought were dead. --Dread Lord is our catchall term for evil demigods, because not having evil afterlives means we don't have separate types of fiend to sort them into." 

"...when I said Iomedae was Lawful Good that appeared recognizable even though you also have only one Good afterlife?"

"We have alignments; what we don't have is categorizing Outsiders based on alignment. On Golarion you have archons and angels and azatas and agathions, and except for angels you can tell for sure what alignment one of those is by what kind it is. In the local afterlife you get regions based on different interests and preferences, and, like, if you spend most of your afterlife in the Great City and become an Outsider there, you become a Citizen, and most Citizens are Lawful but not all of them. There's a distinct subset that are Neutral Good instead, but they don't--cluster, based on that."

"All right. So, fiends, but not demons and devils and so on."

"Right. Although mostly just Fiend Lords who ascended directly from living mortals, because one of the similarities to Nirvana is...ours is called the Waiting Gate, but it's basically the same as the Isle of the Penitent. People who die basically aren't allowed to fiendify." 

"Basically?"

"I'm not actually a theologian, and I don't expect we know everything about the afterlife even so; if there are exceptions I wouldn't expect to know about them. But, like, nobody wants Dread Lords to happen, and they do every now and then anyway; I would expect that at some point somebody managed to break all the safeties despite being dead."

Nod, nod.

"Oh, and--there are a lot of places like the City, where being there and growing with it turns you into a specific thing that there's a name for, but there's also a bunch of one-offs. Not especially relevant to the question of Dread Lords but it adds variety to the sorcerous bloodlines going around." 

"There are already quite a few of those on Golarion. I'm not sure I've ever definitely met two alike."

"This is true. We also have fewer kinds of people, though, so it might even out--like, we don't have unicorns or phoenixes, so you're not going to get a unicorn or phoenix-blooded sorcerer. ...Actually the situation with wizards is weirder." 

"Oh?"

"So, there's, like, a bajillion ways to be a wizard, here, and they don't all store their spells in books, and even two traditions that hit on roughly the same medium, such as writing things down, as opposed to knotted cords or magic beads, are really difficult to translate spells across, and sometimes something is a circle lower in one tradition and nobody can figure out how to make it work in the others." 

"...how odd. Do some of them pick up multiple idioms of wizardry or is that not popular?"

"You can, but in order to really get anywhere with it you more or less have to spend all your time on it or be really smart, it's basically like being a wizard twice. ...I sorta wonder if there was something like that in Azlant and then the one we have now is just whichever one Aroden used, but that's just speculation."

Shrug. "I can cast and catch Prestidigitation in the Golarion wizard fashion but can't use most of its functions."

"Huh, really? I...don't think I've ever heard of that."
