The Commander of the 5th Crusade against the demonic forces invading Golarion from the malignant World Wound, turned to necromancy in his desperation to defeat the Demonic menace. Eventually he. with the help of Master Zacharias, turned himself into a lich.
Having collected six nahyndrian crystals, he planned to ascend and become a demigod with his followers and Areelu Vorlesh who was both the architect of the World Wound and apparently his mother. However, knowing what he would do with such power several of the gods intervened and shattered the crystals before the process was complete. The gods then banished him and Areelu Vorlesh far beyond the maelstrom to an entirely different multiverse, where they could never again be a threat. However, before they were banished several of the Commander's companions decided to come with him and Areelu.
How will an evil lich adjust to a peaceful land of friendship and happiness?
(A Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous crossover)
Oooh, this looks interesting. I'm midway through a playthrough, perhaps I should come back to this once I'm a little further so as to not spoil myself?

Yeah, especially if you're going for a lich playthrough and want to get the secret ending.
Honestly, I wasn't sure about this — not a huge crossover fan. But I've played Pathfinder before and love the lore. Also, good (if a bit verbose) charachters, each with their own goals. The Ponies are a bit . . . naïve, but I'm interested to see how that will factor into the story. Very interesting premise. Followed.
You know, you can cut two-thirds this chapter out and loose nothing important to the story, and I mean it. It's all just trivia info dump about the aliens world, and most important, its useless info that I'm pretty sure will never be needed in the story. You don't need a wall of text about ghouls and Whites, and vampires in some random chapter for no reason. You wait until you introduce the creature or threat, thats when you give the information. More important, thats when it makes sense to give the information.
No offense, and I really don't mean this offensively. Its like a Harry potter fan just talking in multiple, twenty minute lectures about the plants in Professor Sprouts class. To someone who will never go to the class, or even encounter the plants.
What we have to be careful about as Authors is this. We all know readers skip walls of text, trivia. If half our readers skip over the walls of minutiae, was it worth taking the time to write it? Or is it time better served writing other things?

Is Pathfinder really a video game? I always thought it was a tabletop RPG.

It's a TTRPG with videogames. Sort of like how D&D has Baldur's Gate 3. So Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous is just a videogame in the setting of Pathfinder. Specifically taking place during the 5th crusade. I would recommend playing it before reading it. This story will make a lot more sense with the context of the game.
Edit: just be warned, Wrath of the Righteous is a really damn long game. It's not something you're likely to finish in ten hours or so like a lot of games.
