The Empty
Throne
By Neil Spicer
Coils of the Dragon
Even more so than the chromatic and
metallic dragons familiar to the people
of the Inner Sea region, the imperial
dragons of the Dragon Empires cleave
to philosophies and agendas distinct
to each serpentine breed. Not wholly
allied with the forces of good or evil,
law or chaos, the imperial dragons
represent the balance of life, nature,
and the cosmos. With draconic
representatives embodying cavern
and sky, land and sea, these potent
forces endlessly dance, attacking
and defending, wheeling on and on,
as members of their kinds have for
countless ages, around an axis of perfect
neutrality in endless, savage harmony.
Denizens of Shadow
Not all residents of Golarion are natives
to its reality’s bright and substantial
shores. In an age of night, members
of a furtive people slipped the borders
of shadows and emerged in a realm
not wholly unlike their own. But as
generations passed, the darkness lifted
and the paths between their umbral
realm and this brightening land faded
with a worldwide dawn. None can
say how many of this aloof race were
stranded, made victims of a harsh and
unrelenting sun. Even today, ages later,
these castaways cling to the shadows
of a world not quite their own, where
the gigantic, day-stalking natives know
them as wayangs.
