Скрипторий: Archetype - godling (war of immortals)

Source War of Immortals
Golarion has seen more than one mortal experience apotheosis and ascend to the ranks of its many deities. Some of the most famous of such individuals are the Ascended, the deities who achieved divinity through the power of the Starstone. However, many current deities found ways to ascend without the aid of a magical meteorite, instead carving their own path to greatness through their deeds and actions.
Irori, god of enlightenment, dedicated his mortal life to the pursuit of self-perfection and achieved godhood through personal perfection of his own mind, body, and spirit, a deed that was later accomplished by his nephew Gruhastha, as well. Nethys, god of magic, attained such immense mastery of magic as a mortal that he was able to witness everything that transpired across every plane of existence, an accomplishment that fueled his own divine ascension.
Godlings are mythic beings whose actions or circumstances propel them along similar paths to these ascended mortals, using their mythic power to elevate themselves to a higher existence. Aided by their hierophants, mortal allies who share in the godling's power, these beings travel Golarion, building their personal legends and paving their own path to divinity.
The wizard Razmir (arrogant male human wouldbe- god) pursues divinity and immortality by whatever means he can acquire it, in locales across the Inner Sea both obvious and obscure.
In the Mwangi Expanse, it is believed that members of Old-Mage Jatembe's Ten Magic Warriors still linger as immortal demigods, and that those they choose as their hierophants are candidates to receive the title of Magic Warrior themselves.
On the continent of Arcadia, in the region known as the Deadshot Lands, Steel at Dawn (compassionate female human gunslinger) and her sidekick hierophant Nibbub (plucky male chuspiqui scout) travel from remote community to remote community, protecting travelers from bandits and monsters while collecting an ever-growing congregation of grateful worshippers.
Any of these characters might be, or might become, godlings. Less than demigods but closer to true godhood than an exemplar, godlings wield mythic power while sharing divine magic to pursue and accomplish their goals.
Whatever it is that drives you to transcend mortality and walk among the immortals is for you to decide. The pull of divinity can cause you to become disconnected from mortal concerns, but your hierophant is there to keep you grounded and connected to the mortal world. This will be the most essential and important of the relationships you develop as you pursue your adventures, for your hierophant serves as a reminder of where you have come from and acts as a critical ally in helping you become the god you seek to be. Most hierophants become the first high priest of a godling who achieves full divinity, and some may even become a herald or similarly powerful ally.
The opportunity to achieve many great deeds lies before you, along with the power to shape the world to your desires. Godhood is not promised, but you have the power to achieve it if you can overcome the challenges barring your path. Dark priests, opposing gods, and powerful monsters are certain to stand between you and apotheosis, but the trust and assistance of those who believe in you can carry you forward. Spread your name, claim your dominion, and gather your faithful!
