Index of witch patrons

Pathfinder Second Edition content This article covers a term or subject that is relevant to the Pathfinder campaign setting only in the context of Pathfinder Second Edition or Pathfinder Lost Omens.

The following is an index of witch patrons, both specific entities and themes.

Patron themes

• Baba Yaga teaches her witches to transfer spirits into inanimate objects and freeze their foes.
• A Choir Politic patron teaches their witches are taught that mortals are stronger together than apart.
• Cobyslarni, headmaster and host of the Traveling Academy of Cobyslarni, teaches his witches to overload foes' minds with information while keeping their own open.
• A Devourer of Decay represents the inevitable rot of living things that paves the way for new life, and instill the importance in this cycle in their witches.
• A Faith's Flamekeeper, or fervor patron, reassures their witches and gives them the strength to bring others to the witch's cause.
• The Inscribed One, also known as a rune patron, holds influence over symbols, books, and knowledge.
• The Mosquito Witch has followers in Shimmerford, although few would be foolish enough to attempt to draw her attention. Her witches have the power to control insects and arthropods.
• A Paradox of Opposites gives their witches power derived from reconciling the seemingly incompatible duality of opposite concepts, such as light and dark or life and death.
• The Resentment patron, also known as a curse patron, empowers their witches to thwart the efforts of their foes and undermine those who stand in their way.
• A Ripple in the Deep brings their witches lessons from the unfathomable depths of the ocean.
• A Silence in Snow patron, or winter patron, reflects the frozen lands of the world, cruel and dangerous to those not prepared to face them.
• A Spinner of Threads, or fate patron, grants their witches the ability to see glimpses of the future.
• A Starless Shadow, or night patron, lives in the shadows and holds power over darkness and dreams.
• The Unseen Broker, or pacts patron, deal in promises and bargains, and no lesson is ever given for free.
• A Whisper of Wings teaches the controlled chaos of the open sky.
• A Wilding Steward, or wild patron, commands the powers of nature, wild and untouched by civilization.
