Apostae, the Messenger, is the tenth celestial body from Golarion's sun. It is distinguished by its unique, non-elliptical orbit practically perpendicular to that of Golarion. Although it appears to be the smallest planet in its solar system, Apostae is not a planet at all; it is a vast spaceship that was caught in the sun's orbit.[1][2]
Description
Apostae is perceived from outside as a large, rocky asteroid devoid of life with two strange elements:
- Several giant metal doors on the surface.
- A series of portal arches that lead to other parts of the solar system, as well as a unique arch of mystery.[2]
Scholars also believe that there are portals on this planet that lead to places outside of its solar system.[1]
Unknown to most of the solar system's inhabitants, Apostae is a huge starship with a crew trapped inside.[2]

Rune representation
In scholarly works, Apostae is sometimes represented by a rune: a circle with four short stubs pointing outwards from it, with a cross placed diagonally over it. The upper right arm of the cross is slightly elongated.[3]
Gazetteer
Areas of interest within the planet include:[2]
- The mythic Armory
- The Chamber of Life, wherein is found the Great Eye

Inhabitants
A strange 'race' called the Ilee lives in Apostae, scattered in 'tribes' across the interior world. Feral creatures lair in the Empty Lands, as well as constructs of unknown purpose; the most renowned of these constructs is Grandfather Stone. Nursing the Sleepers Below are small, crablike creatures.[2]
