Your narration is simply spectacular. Wonderful job as always. It is so inspiring to get ingrained into a fantasy setting like this especially with such wonderfully executed descriptions. Have a terrific day everyone! Thanks for the vid.
I didn't know they existed! I was thinking for a second they were weird Demon and Daemon hybrids or something but thank you for this video to provide such valuable knowledge!
These creature type series, specially the planar ones, and the ones you talk about nations and planes are my favorites ! But your videos, every single one, are amazing
Woo, more baddies! Turns out creating life in the depths of the Abyss is hard on the paint job. The Demodands seem really loyal for Abyssal creatures, but maybe that's because they were created explicitly to be servants. Apparently the mixture of that programmed servile nature and the innate chaotic evil of the Abyss = a creature that adores taking orders so long as those orders are "go there and be violent, perverse, and messy." The limit on Demodand power that keeps them from becoming demigods is a neat feature. The section where you instead describe notable Demodands reminded me of bounty side quests or optional mini-bosses from a video game. Thanks as always for the video. I think the series promises to be an interesting exploration into why outsiders would choose to live on the Prime Material plane.
Thanks! I do have one video on LOTR lore that I did at the beginning about the Silmarillion you should check out, but yeah eventually I will better expand my lore repertoire.
Hmm... I understand that the next video will be Thuvia and Rahadoum? Since at the moment all other parts of Garund have already been described, if I not forgot, and Rahadoum does not have enough content to highlight it in a separate video. By the way, I hope for a mention of the current difficult political state of the city of Khari, since Cheliax has lost control over it.
Heh, i remember, when i first met a Demodand in the Pathfinder:Wrath of the Righteous game. There were only two way to do any damage to it: with a Nat 20, and with my Blood Kineticist's special attack [half damage, if it made a succesful Constitution saving throw, then only a quarter]. I had to use a ton of summoning spell (one for every round), as it killed each and every summoned creature within one round, just to keep it away from my characters, as even my tank would die within 2 rounds... If i remember correctly, it was a Stringy Demodand, which attacked every creature, who was close enough to it, their numbers doesn't mattered, so i couldn't overswarm it, only the "endurance battle" worked against it, and still was able to knock out 2 members of my party.
Sounds like something you'd want to work out with your GM, but I'd say yes at my gametable. I'd probably have the player realize halfway through that their power is actually coming from one of the Titans though, just for the fun twist.
No there totally is. That being said, I always planned to do 5 Kings Mountains and Kyonin last among my Inner Sea region videos, because before I did any region videos I did my Dwarf and Elf ancestry guides, and those covered something about those nations. Its still a ways out right now, but I will eventually get to Kyonin.
"For no reason these titans rebelled against the gods, trust us" Listen, even if the demodands and their creators are horrifyingly evil, the gods sure are leaving a lot of holes on who did what to who. It would be a very good angle if one story shows how the early gods were flawed, cruel and clumsy and the titans felt justified in their revolt. It wouldn't redeem them, but it would be a nice twist that the titans corruptions and their horrible creations were a result of trauma that the gods caused. - Not a demodand in chat, I swear
There's a timeline of events where the BBEGs all win in their respective APs and it creates a 'shattered golarion'. I don't know of a source for the info (unfortunately). I heard about it in one of my groups. I mention it more as a back pocket idea of '"what if-'ideas" if you want a less serious video.@@TheMythKeeper
@@MikeLemmons Yeah, weird right? They're both me, but using different microphones. The first is a wireless mic for use with a digital mic, the second is a podcasting mic. Also in the first case I'm riffing off the cuff, and in the second case I'm reading a script. My cadence might also change as a result.
Probably one too many tbh! 🤣🤣🤣 We are very close to the end of this series though. I plan to do a video on Rakshasa, on the Oni and Kami and I think that's pretty much it... For now!
They sure do like their fiends at Paizo. I agree i feel there is a glut of evil outisders in the setting. But i dont mind them keeping Demodands. And Sahkil@TheMythKeeper
This setting can't possibly support the number of demon lords seemingly constantly invading every inch of it at all times. Limiting Pathfinder to one semi medieval world makes the whole thing feel so awkward.
If you think about the thing as a whole, it breaks the suspension of disbelief for sure. That goes for the volume of demons, the number of types of magic, the number of very different countries, the various technology levels and so on... but if you take it all piecemeal and each campaign just deals with a part of the mythology then its all fairly digestable and the pieces individually all work.
Canonically Golarion is special because it has the evil God Rovagug in it's core- that's why in is both targeted for attacks, and also protected by much more powerful forces.
This is so weird. Earlier this morning I was thinking, "Which outsiders has MythKeeper not covered yet? Oh yeah, demodands."
Those were my exact thoughts when I decided to make this video!
Tbf they're pretty easy to overlook.
Aberrations
@@ArktosBears - I have a Darklands Denizens feature coming up that covers a lot of these ;-)

Thank you so much!
I'm not dyslexic but I read Demondad every time I see their name for like 7 years.
😂😂😂

And thank you as always for all the support you show this channel. Much appreciated as always!
It’s funny, saying, “the best place for pathfinder lore” sounds like it would be arrogant and braggadocious, but it’s just so objectively true!
Haha! Thank you! Its all about confidence on the interwebs.
If they're even remotely similar to the ones in D&D they're very bad news. Thanks for the video!
These Videos are so good. i dont even play pathfinder, but the lore is so well designed and improves a lot of the dnd foundation it was built upon.
Couldn't agree more. Tis the superior lore. ;-)
Once you finally finish up with Pathfinder lore (one day. One day.) I'd love to see some DND lore or LOTR lore
Thanks! I do have one video on LOTR lore that I did at the beginning about the Silmarillion you should check out, but yeah eventually I will better expand my lore repertoire.
Every week I hope for a religon or planes video. So excited for this saga
Awesome, thank you!
Great and amazing content ! Veru cool !

My next video is Andoran, followed by Katapesh. Rahadoum is definitely in the works, but I'm not quite there yet!
Always a great time for MythKeeper dropping a new video!
You know it!
Excellent lore explained thank you!:)
My pleasure!

That sounds like a pretty accurate summation of what happens when you encounter one of the dark titan spawn in general! 😆
another great guide thanks
Sad you didn't mention Squamous Demodands, those scaly lads are my favorite
15:36 no?
Have you covered the nation of Isger yet? The background of Saringallow is cool.
Not yet! So many nations in the Inner Sea! Still working through some of them
New popular question for everyone: How often do you think about Demodands?
A lot, when working on this video!
I love these nasty boys. Thanks for this. :)
So could one have a demodand as a patron? They can't bestow divine power, but a witch doesn't have to use divine energies.
Sounds like something you'd want to work out with your GM, but I'd say yes at my gametable. I'd probably have the player realize halfway through that their power is actually coming from one of the Titans though, just for the fun twist.
I'd love to see a deep dive on Kyonin, but maybe there isn't enough published to make one. It seems like its been less emphasized for a while
No there totally is. That being said, I always planned to do 5 Kings Mountains and Kyonin last among my Inner Sea region videos, because before I did any region videos I did my Dwarf and Elf ancestry guides, and those covered something about those nations.

Hey! Now that another novel got announced, I really ought to crack open my writing project again lol
I'm rapidly closing on my region deep dives. Would love to take a crack at book summaries at some point if you have the cycles to help summarize ;-)
Uh. I knew about the Rakshasa, Kami, and Oni... Never heard of the Demodands...
Fiends up the wazoo!
👏👏👏👏
Video idea you probably already have: lore videos on changed/new creatures in Monster Core!
Yeah I will definitely do this at some point as well.
"For no reason these titans rebelled against the gods, trust us" Listen, even if the demodands and their creators are horrifyingly evil, the gods sure are leaving a lot of holes on who did what to who.

- Not a demodand in chat, I swear
This is a great seed for a story
Huzzah!!!
When is the new series on PFc¹🐉Dragons getting announced?
￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣
¹PFc · PathFinder Core (Remastered) editions
Haha! Soon.. next 6 or 7 videos are pretty much locked but after that likely
Has anyone suggested the idea of a shattered golarion video?
Explain in more detail the video idea :)
There's a timeline of events where the BBEGs all win in their respective APs and it creates a 'shattered golarion'. I don't know of a source for the info (unfortunately). I heard about it in one of my groups. I mention it more as a back pocket idea of '"what if-'ideas" if you want a less serious video.@@TheMythKeeper
@@mightysurtur752 I do like "What if..." as a video idea actually 😅
Hell yeah, glad to provide inspiration@@TheMythKeeper
Is it the same person doing the introductions and the actual video narrations? The voices are very different.
Either way, all this Pathfinder Golarion lore is amazing
@@MikeLemmons Yeah, weird right? They're both me, but using different microphones. The first is a wireless mic for use with a digital mic, the second is a podcasting mic. Also in the first case I'm riffing off the cuff, and in the second case I'm reading a script. My cadence might also change as a result.
@@TheMythKeeperWeird! I think Cadence is a part of it, but I totally doubted if it was the same person :D
How many races of fiends are there in Pathfinder, anyway?
Probably one too many tbh! 🤣🤣🤣
We are very close to the end of this series though. I plan to do a video on Rakshasa, on the Oni and Kami and I think that's pretty much it... For now!
Until Pathfinder 2e Remastered Again!
@@grinningbuck Haha! Yeah true!
@@TheMythKeeperMaybe better make Rakshasa in creature guide, since they and oni no longer outsiders with Remaster?
They sure do like their fiends at Paizo. I agree i feel there is a glut of evil outisders in the setting. But i dont mind them keeping Demodands. And Sahkil@TheMythKeeper
I missread this as "demondads" would been way dif video
TBF, these fiends would make for pretty deadbeat dads
Y did u pronounce the Tarry Demodands like that, it is pronounced like the word Tar, not Marry, since u know, they seep tar out of their body.
Because of my accent ;)
