I’ve recently made a bunch of friends interested in playing Pathfinder 2e, so I’m building a custom 1hr One-Shot for 6 players to learn the game (yes I know that time is a lie). The lore is amazing! It’s got roughly 8 thousand years of history to create the current world of Golarion. The history is deep and rich, and some of that is because it’s based on real world cultures and histories. There’s obviously fantasy too, but a lot of nations and empires mimic real history, so it’s very believable.
I’m replying to myself because I was remembering how cool it was learning about the god king of Osirion and how insanely long that empire has been going. Not to mention Absalom! I believe there’s a whole YouTube series talking about walking around Absalom like a podcast because it’s so insanely detailed.
