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。

劇透 - :
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.
