Uncited statement
Removed this assertion:
“She also came to care for the adventurers who aided her against Tar Baphon, sending them away from the explosion of the Radiant Fire.[citation needed]
”
I'm searching for a citation for this, since it sounds like a player-specific event in an AP that would need confirmation in a subsequent sourcebook. -Oznogon (talk) 17:20, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
- So far:
- Gardens of Gallowspire "Concluding the Adventure" on pgs. 54–55 suggests that as long as the PCs get to Renchurch while Tar-Baphon is fighting Arazni, her intervention always happens regardless of the PCs' actions (including them retreating entirely). The events of Tyrant's Grasp are canon, so this is also implied to be canon. It's unclear if it'd be considered information necessary to player or story advancement within an adventure; this assertion is vague enough that it shouldn't be.
- The section also accommodates parties who don't join Arazni, and also those who betray her; they still have to travel to the same destination as Arazni's teleportation. Barzahk is mentioned here in that context.
- Knights of Lastwall pg. 10 describes the third Radiant Fire blast at Renchurch that destroys and ascends her, but doesn't mention the PCs/adventurers.
- World Guide pg. 41 and Absalom, City of Lost Omens pg. 105 describe the initiating events of the campaign and some general events from it, but don't delve into the same spoiler territory.
- Gardens of Gallowspire "Concluding the Adventure" on pgs. 54–55 suggests that as long as the PCs get to Renchurch while Tar-Baphon is fighting Arazni, her intervention always happens regardless of the PCs' actions (including them retreating entirely). The events of Tyrant's Grasp are canon, so this is also implied to be canon. It's unclear if it'd be considered information necessary to player or story advancement within an adventure; this assertion is vague enough that it shouldn't be.
- I'm not sure what to do with this. We've historically not included events from APs that the players might be able to modify through their actions, unless those events are then described in a subsequent canon work. It seems weird to assume that Arazni always "finds herself fond of the PCs", but Gardens's "Concluding the Adventure" explicitly says she does by default. -Oznogon (talk) 18:38, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

While not canon information, Luis Loza confirmed on the Paizo messageboards that had alignment remained as a mechanic in Pathfinder Second Edition post-Remaster, her alignment would have shifted to chaotic neutral.1 -Oznogon (talk) 01:23, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

She already allowed some good followers during her NE time earlier in the edition, which was already hinting a drift away from the evil brought about due to her undead connection. The CN shift would have been a continuation of that theme." Luis Loza. (November 14, 2024). Reply to "What is Arazni's Point?", Paizo Messageboards.
