This is a very long letter! By the time it ends he has forgotten the beginning, several times over.

Luckily, the mystery voice (Willow on behalf of Ash?) is willing to repeat itself. After enough repetitions, he thinks he has memorized most of it, and understood almost nothing.

 

Some parts are at least easy to not understand. How can something be "beyond Creation", isn't Creation the word for everything that exists? How could Golarion be destroyed, and if it was destroyed how could it be remade, all in a few minutes? Who is Rovagug? Where is Aelsef and what's special about Abadar's temple there? Why is the god of drunkedness certifying anything alongside Abadar? If Asmodeus objected to something in Hell, why did He destroy Golarion

Other parts are more... troubling.

That door leads to where he was, that is, the temple of Abadar in his village. Did they add a door to the temple, and build this... weird room next to it? But there isn't room to build it next to the temple, it would block one road or another. Did the priest actually agree to any of this? What gives them the right to give him a building located on a public road?

They say they've given him - this room, and food, and magic spells? How can he possibly ever pay them for that? They say it's a gift made 'in apology', but the apology is for saving his life (?) and that's not how apologies work (??) He can't accept a gift like this! It's the farthest possible thing from the fair trades Abadar wants people to make! If he accepts it, he'll probably never make it to Axis!

Speaking of which, it's very scary that he's being directed to a non-Lawful visitors part of Axis. He's very very sure he wants the Lawful residents part instead. Just to be sure he doesn't accept this horribly unfair deal, he won't eat any of the food or use any of the magic.

That leaves him with only one option: to ask the priest! Which is obviously the right thing to do, and the letter also says so, he really shouldn't have spent so long trying to puzzle it out himself.

He opens the door.

The door swings open to reveal the room from which he left. Despite his worries about new construction, it does not appear to have anchored itself to a wall, instead opening freestanding a few feet over from where he was.

Permalink

It what?

What does he see if he... walks around the door in the temple?

Permalink

The door is only visible from the front. From behind, he can see through it and walk through it without being transported. This doesn't cause any of the problems you might expect with sharp portal edges -- if his center of mass goes through the door from the front, he is transported. Otherwise, the door is insubstantial.

...

He backs away from the door. A door in the middle of the temple is going to be so much trouble and he wants to make it very very clear that none of it is his fault.

Luckily, there's no one there to see him - no, there's Harminē the priest, he must have missed him before. He hurries over.

Harminē looks torn between wonder and confusion and amazement and incredulity and befuddlement and a dozen other emotions. Other villagers are coming up to him and every time one steps into Pamin's field of view Harminē jumps a little.

"Abadar gave me a revelation," he says a bit unsteadily. "I saw the same letter I assume you did - that everyone did - and Abadar says it is true. I got a Sending from my superior, Banker Anoup, to confirm it, so I don't think it's someone playing malicious tricks on us. And Abadar gave me more spells, spells only the greatest clerics can - could use, but now everyone can. So I can take you all to the city or to Sothis or even to Axis, if you don't want to go alone, and we can confirm it all for ourselves."

"The world has changed and - it's too much for me to understand or to explain, but first of all I want to tell you all that Abadar says the changes are almost all in our interests, and some of them very greatly so, and that we should be - happy about it. Rather than afraid. And we don't have to do anything immediately, but there are many things we can do now which we couldn't before."

He tries to explain what has happened. It's less confusing than it was in the letter, because he's an actual person explaining things to them and answering questions, but there are many parts he admits he doesn't understand himself, either the what or the how, and is taking it on faith.

Lawful Good Outsiders from a new plane contacted Golarion and its gods for the first time. They are very powerful and with their help the Good gods quickly won a war against the Evil ones.

The outsiders want to make everyone else as rich and powerful as they are, or at least everyone who isn't Evil. So they're giving people free (?) food and teleports and all kinds of magic. Because of this, mortals on Golarion are quickly going to be as wealthy as the people in Axis, and they can afford to go to Axis (and Heaven) and come back.

And because the remaining gods are Neutral and Good, they have renegotiated some treaties which previously heavily taxed travel from the afterlives to Golarion. Dead people can now visit Golarion as cheaply as the other way around. And Axis can sell all its information and technology to Golarion at much lower prices.

They're so wealthy now that no-one is going to go hungry or stay sick or die and not come back anymore. They can spend their time doing work other than growing food and building houses, because they now have magic that creates those.

This also means some people might decide to go live in other places. Including in Axis! He advises them to wait before making any decisions. (He admits this is because he doesn't, himself, know what to do yet either.)

Oh, and everyone who was in Hell was rescued by the Good gods and the outsiders. When Evil people die and go to Hell or the Abyss they won't be tortured anymore, they'll be immediately rescued by the Good afterlives.

"Cicerone. How can we pay for this?"

Permalink

Oh no, his congregation is confusing different parts of theology in an already very confusing situation.

"It's not a trade. As you say, we could not pay for it, so it would not be a fair trade. But this is a gift, and gifts don't need to be repaid."

Permalink

"But aren't gifts - wrong?"

Permalink

"Giving gifts is wrong! Accepting them is only wrong because it encourages others to give more of them, which is wrong for them too."

"But it's not wrong in the sense of being unLawful, or unlawful, or harming people like an Evil. It's wrong for Abadarans, because it's - not the best thing to do. It's much better to pay for something, and be sure what you're getting, than to give a gift, and hope it's used towards what you wanted."

"But some people choose to be Lawful Good, and I don't think it's wrong for Iomedaeans to give gifts. So I think we can accept this gift because it's being given by outsiders who are Lawful Good and won't be harmed by being encouraged to give more gifts. And Abadar confirmed that it's in our interests to accept it."

Actually - "There is a much simpler explanation. This gift has immense value to us. We will benefit much much more by having it than we will be harmed by accepting it as a gift. So we should take it regardless. As I said, it's not unLawful."

Permalink

Something else the priest said is bothering him. "Everyone can go to Axis now? Even if they're not Lawful?"

Permalink

"Only to the area for non-Lawful visitors. Unless they agree to abide by the laws of Axis."

Permalink

"But... anyone can agree to follow the law. Won't people stop leading Lawful lives if they don't have to, anymore, to get into Axis?"

Permalink

"Won't more people be Evil, if everyone who goes to Hell ends up in Heaven?" someone else asks.

That is a valid question. It's not one Pamin has asked himself, because he is (correctly) trying to go to Axis and not to Heaven, so he didn't notice that going to Heaven was now easier.

Permalink

"I think when non-Lawful people go into Axis proper, they have to pay insurance," Harminē says uncertainly. "To cover the costs of any crime they commit. And the insurance is higher if they're more Chaotic and less trustworthy. So people should still be Lawful, to avoid paying more."

Permalink

"But everyone is going to be very rich now. Won't they be able to pay it anyway?"

Permalink

"I don't know!" Harminē admits. "If they are, that's - better, because the insurance will cover the costs, so everyone will be better off. It's always better for people to be richer." This is an axiom but he can see it leading somewhere - not wrong, obviously, but very different from how the world used to be.

Permalink

But then...

"I worked so hard to be Lawful, to earn Axis. And now - anyone can go there, even a rich thief, or some lazy bum who coasted on his inheritance? Is everything I've done worthless now?" Am worthless?

Permalink

"I worked hard to avoid Hell," someone else complains. "I donated to the Iomedaeans for that! It was a lot of money!"

Permalink

"What you did isn't worthless. But it is worth less. Much less, because we are much richer now, so we can afford to buy much more of it. It's worth a much smaller part of our money, which means it's cheap, but it's still the same amount of money. Having more money is better."

Permalink

"It feels... unfair. I had something, some value" - Pamin isn't sure himself if he means he had something of value or that he was of value - "and now I don't. And I got a gift. But nobody asked me. Is that alright because it's not a trade, so it doesn't have to be fair?"

Permalink

That is probably a typical reaction when people interact with Lawful Good. Harminē thinks Lawful Good assumes too much about what is "Good" and what trades to make to achieve it, instead of just letting people put prices on the things they want. He knows he doesn't really understand them, though.

"It's true that the Good outsiders didn't do the best thing for you that they could have. But if they had offered you this trade, would you have accepted? I think you should have, and I think Abadar thinks so too. For all His people, not for you personally, but I don't think you're very unusual."

"The outsiders didn't trade fairly with us. They didn't trade with us at all - I think they did trade with the gods, who represented some of our interests, but they didn't trade with each of us individually. And I don't know if they traded fairly with Abadar about everything they did, or just some things. We're still much better off."

Permalink

He would have accepted the deal if they offered it. He knows it because Abadar said so - actually, it includes free food and housing and magic, so he would have accepted it. 

He feels that's not the same thing as actually getting the chance to accept it.

 

"Cicerone... what should I do now? There's nothing I can do that the magic can't do better. How can I work?" Even if he somehow doesn't need more money, it's wrong, almost unthinkable to contemplate a life without work. Not working is lazy, it's freeloading, it's - corrupting

When he imagines not working - having a house, and food, and not needing or being able to work - he suddenly has a horrible image of himself, sitting alone in his house, forever. Where would he go, if not for food or to work? Will his parents or his daughter visit him if they don't need him? Even if they do, how will live with himself between their visits?
