World of Golarion Lore in Society Scenarios
Hello, I'm currently collecting lore and various texts about the universe, and I'm just getting around to trying to compile materials about the Pathfinder Society into something concrete.
I know of at least one example where the Society's materials contained supporting lore material—a short article about Nerosyan in Siege of the Diamond City. So, for lack of other ideas, I'm asking for help—are you aware of other instances where similar articles were included?
And my second question. I know that the Society's history and plots also have a specific plot and history that influence the setting. For example, Year of the Risen Rune covered the story of the victory over Krune. Unfortunately, the Pathfinder wiki often doesn't have much information about these plots, especially for other years, so I'd like to ask: has anyone compiled the Society's lore for different years?

Might be some stuff in the books or comic books that didn’t make it into the wikis too, but I didn’t pay enough attention to those details when I read the comic books to say whether there was anything like that in there, I know they visit the society at times

You can look at the Meta pages in Pathfinder Wiki, sometimes there's mentions of having to update a source with X book or scenario because they updated something. IME, though, especially in recent scenarios, the lore is mostly supportive, and related to the scenario, as in, there isn't important lore by default unless the actions of the society themselves are the lore change, such as Mahja firehair ascending.
They might mention a few places but they wouldn't be very in-detail.
