Tian Xia is their 'Asian fusion' continent, has a lot of different regions and governments all dreamt up by a very wide cast of writers in Asia, but most seem to be from Shanghai and Hong Kong.

I am told that if you speak some Asian languages, these are very fun names to look at.

Big bads:

adorable forest fey

tanuki!!

racially diverse 'western' explorers and refugees, technically a 'hong kongesque' situation without brutal colonialism:

this is qin shi huangdi except the elixir actually worked

qin-shi-huangdi-fireball

before anyone gets weirded out by the elves, all pathfinder elves look like this, even ones from 'western' or 'african' areas

sassy snake deity

also added a bit about fantasy africa, there are actual colonies in pathfinder but all of them are founded by literal devil worshipers lol

Literal devil worshippers?

lol Literally white Devils.

[-] lurkerlady@hexbear.net 6 points 6 months ago

yeah theres some pirate campaigns where you try to interdict the devil worshipers supply lines, stuff like that. lot of content around them, theyre basically the big bads of the setting, along with some undead empires

Oh nice, I do love "Asian" pirate lore.

Devil worshiping nazis, in fact. Cheliax isn't exactly subtle.

There's an old adventure path where you play a sort of resistance within the empire of Cheliax.

edit: yeah the devil part is very literal as well. Devils in Pathfinder are nuanced in that they are evil but also lawful, and it's entirely possible to play a Faust-like character who binds them without being evil. Queen Abrogail Thrune II is not like that at all.

Queen Abrogail Thrune II

I think her full title gets the message across better: Her Infernal Majistrix Queen Abrogail II of the Thrice-Damned House of Thrune.
