“Walk the soil. Feel the breeze kiss your skin and taste the crisp spring waters. Hear the rustling grass of the plains and see your next victory on the horizon. That is what it means to be truly free. The elders remind us that once we were all a free people, who rightly knew to fear the metal men and the life-ending ruins. But now the weak cower in their cities and hide behind walls of wood, stone, and steel, greedily feasting on the lies of the Technic League. Bah! Cowards who shoot light and flame from hiding and know not the honor of true battle! By Gorum's mailed hand, our people shall cut the mewling whelps from their domesticated wombs and raise them up to be true scions of our lands, untainted and pure. Or we will end them. It’s as simple as that.”
—Soyka Tenkiller, Ghost Wolf tribeswoman
Numeria is a land of extremes. The environment is harsh and barely sustains life, and what life it does sustain is often mutated into twisted parodies of Golarion’s native species, or else transplanted here from far, alien reaches. Once a rising power poised to unite its neighbors under its banner, Numeria’s leadership has fallen into decay. Here, savagery and science exist side by side. Amid the wreckage of a crashed starship from a distant world, technomancers from across Golarion flock to research and exploit the technological wonders found within the otherworldly ruins; meanwhile, tribes of primitive barbarians cling to an age-old tradition and eschew technology in favor of their own raw skill and martial prowess. This is a nation where, under the auspices of technological advancement and the betterment of civilization, a select few rule a subjugated nation as despots and tyrants, placing their own power and continued reign above the well-being of their citizens. Where Silver Mount rises like a gleaming edifice of shimmering metal above the desolate plains, adventurers strive to unlock the secrets of a land touched by the stars, and all who come here find themselves changed forever by the environment, its inhabitants, and—perhaps most of all—the strange technologies that can offer them either unmatched power or a quick and untimely death.
