Iomedae the Inheritor is the ultimate Lawful Good deity in all of Golarion, so much that she's pretty much the archetype of all paladins everywhere. She's also one of the few mortal beings who managed to ascend to divinity by touching the Starstone. She serves as the ultimate arbiter of justice among Golarion's diverse pantheon and foremost crusader in the battles against demons and other wickedness (see the Wrath of the Righteous Adventure Path for an example). Oddly, despite this outlook, she finds that she has to ally with Asmodeus in this matter - mostly because he's still Lawful and a fellow member of the Godclaw, a small league of gods who are the ultimate embodiments of law who seek to stamp out chaos no matter where it hides.

Iomedae was born in Cheliax, back in the good ol' days when they were still a vassal-state of Taldor and had not yet gone full-retard on devil-worship. In her late teens she joined with the Shining Crusade, an alliance of various nation's militaries to combat a powerful lich known as the Whispering Tyrant. Great things seemed destined for Iomedae, as her bravery and conviction led her to steal victory from the jaws of defeat countless times, and with a little divine intervention -including summoning Aroden's herald (who died anyway lol) and having her sword magically reforged into an artifact after it was shattered by evil magic- the crusade was eventually victorious. After the Whispering Tyrant was vanquished and sealed away forever the time being, she was given command over a city in Cheliax for a year, which grew to great prosperity under her stewardship all the while she would go out at night and fight monsters like she was the goddamn Batman Isaac Newton or something. A year later she would take the Test of the Starstone and pass, upon which point the god Aroden formally asked if she would replace his slain herald, to which she agreed.

And thus the reason for her neigh-insufferable righteousness stems, from these humble origins as a paladin of Aroden, and now to be recognized by her sempai! Smiting the wicked and protecting the innocent had finally paid off. Things were finally going good for a while... until her patron deity Aroden suddenly suffered a severe case of the permadeaths off-screen, right on the cusp of a promised new golden age for humanity! And thus did she inherit most of his followers, his power and his legacy as humanity's god of goodness. But also, she has A LOT of really big fucking messes to clean up now as the world simultaneously descended into chaos on various fronts.

Iomedae takes the loss of Golarion particularly hard following the Gap. She dedicates all her resources and congregation to finding where the planet took off to. Her church also takes on a strong Humanity Fuck Yeah vibe, complete with cathedral ships and chainsaw knights.
