Nin (The Immaculate Solution)Source Divine Mysteries pg. 152No
vampire who seeks anything other than more of undeath’s secrets dares utter a prayer to Nin, for the vampire deity of unbridled evolution and limitless knowledge seeks to destroy or conquer all who embrace or tolerate weakness. Disciples of Nin believe that undead who waste near immortality on apathy, gluttony, and greed (such as followers of
Urgathoa or
Zura) remain unworthy of their gifts. Mortals are little more than food that nourishes their empire, and any god who demonstrates compassion toward them is far too complacent to deserve their divine station. True vampires serve Nin through the endless pursuit of knowledge, using methodical analysis to root out flaws and maximize their strengths. Through them, Nin seeks to assemble an army of flawless sentinels that can bring order to Golarion by conquering the weak, including all other deities! Only by doing so will they achieve their ultimate goal: to become the most perfect being in the universe. One supplicates to the Immaculate Solution not on a bent knee, but by poring over dusty tomes to discover the secrets of magic, proving ancient theorems using occult mathematics, or conducting experiments that test the very limits of vampiric might. For vampires who approach the mysteries of the universe as equations to solve, endless power awaits.
The Immaculate Solution reveals themself only to vampires who have demonstrated an unwavering devotion to perfecting their undead state. Nin is said to never appear in physical form, for the body harbors weaknesses that can be exploited. Instead, they prefer to surprise their followers in the reflections of mirrors and pools of still water. Nin often presents as an eccentrically dressed, agender human with black skin and elongated fangs, wearing thin spectacles and clutching a massive tome that seeps blood from its pages.
Those who gain an audience with Nin are often tasked with solving the most difficult vampiric problems. Nin insists their charges conduct research while sharing information with other followers to maximize their successes. Vampire clans who worship Nin and who are tasked in this manner might slowly subject themselves to garlic to identify how much might inspire genetic resistance; calculate the mathematical and scientific ramifications of building a device to block out the sun; or even test reactions to multiple kinds of wooden stakes on the hearts of vampires from weaker faiths. The countless experiments and unraveling of universal mysteries have allowed Nin’s followers to remove some of the inherent weaknesses of all vampirekind. That no living mortals remember a time when vampires were hypnotized by the natural spirals of pine cones and other plants, were weakened by the odor of burning lavender, or were thrown into a comatose state by hematite weapons is a testament to the work that Nin’s followers have accomplished in thousands of lifetimes.
