nah ill be honest im probably going to Try to participate especially if we can actually use foundry because i fucking suck at manual character sheets and tihs is like 85% of the reason iām not activley doing whim. and by 85% i mean 15% but still
but frankly i do kind of think itās probably a good thing to anticipate the potnetial of. Well
Iām not confident in this take but I feel like you want to stick Throne of Lies land somewhere in the River Kingdoms, āa random River Kingdom gets toppled by political violenceā is not a super uncommon thing to happen

this also explains why other countries arenāt that present ā a River Kingdom collapsing is common enough that you donāt get a bunch of other countries immediately trying to capitalize on it (and they have no reason to expect that if they show up and take over itāll really last)

possessor/reaper are probably some flavor of undead (reaper is close ish to a lich but Iām not sure the souls ~ phylactery conversion really works (disclaimer: idk how liches work in 2e))
Sorcerer is just straightforwardly a sorcerer I think. Probably theyāre trying to become a lich or something and thatās why they want to kill everyone? But you could alternatively write them as wanting to conquer the country for themself and wanting everyone* in court out of their way

possessor is probably the most unique given the fact that it basically doesnāt like. have a form outside of the guys it possesses?
okay i dont know much about this kind of thing but it feels like a guy that literally entirely takes over their victim and LEAVES THEM DEAD EVEN AFTER BEING BANISHED is kinda relatively unique among possessions
realistically its closer to a bodyswap thign but
in pf2e I donāt thiiiink thereās player accessible body hopping magic

the cult is presumably a cult of two Evil gods (or god-ish things like demon lords). it being a cult of two is kind of interesting, a lot of Evil gods are kind of terrible at working with each other

are you looking for more of a CE or LE flavor for your cult? I think there are valid reads either way
and do you want the gods* involved to be relatively prominent or relatively not that prominent
