People of the Stars

Golarion is a planet that has been dramatically affected by creatures and forces from beyond its skies. Because of events like Earthfall and the Rain of Stars, powerful alien monsters and relics mark many nations and regions around the Inner Sea. Indeed, Golarion would not be the world it is today without the influences of the myriad interplanetary emissaries that have visited this tiny blue sphere.

Numerous parts of Golarion bear the mark of the stars. The Inner Sea itself is the most striking example. When the Starstone crashed into the planet during Earthfall thousands of years ago, it rocked Golarion to the core-landmasses broke apart, oceans flooded sunken continents, and several mortals who managed to but touch the fallen Starstone ascended to godhood. After Earthfall, nothing was the same. The two regions with the best-documented interplanetary connections beyond Golarion are modern Numeria and Ancient Osirion.
