Being Ao is a bit like being the manager of a hardware shop that only hires toddlers...

who needs a spell when you can cast [1KG rock] thrown from an oversized sling made for long arms. gotta have the ol bugbear trebuchet ambush.

Nice page and good narration, very very respectful disagree, whoever shows up as victor would fall to mount celestial.

I need something like definition of terms to understand this 😭

The plan of Shar to merge the Shadowfell with the prime material, does this plan have a name? Im using a similar idea for a Homebrew game and if there is Reference material to this past attempt i would love to read throught it.

Bug Bear Bugbear

The great prince of demon

“Does Gideon have imaginary friends too?” - Torbek the bugbear from Legends of Avantris

Portable hole

Large, hairy wedge-shaped ears! @2:45

Vecna shouldn’t have turned to evil and necromancy.

dont stop

Hi, you did very good guides about monsters

Dam. Wished you kept doing these and histories.....

I think in 1484 also Shar tried to destroy the world by having it consumed by darkness, but champion of Mask stopped it.

Great channel, subbed. 👌Keep up the good stuff dude. 💪👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Wasn't there a golden calf incident when the tablets were destroyed?

I said this before, but I wonder how cool it would be to have a variant/companion monster to the blight that was created from a non-corrupting force. Since the first blight tree was made from the will of a dead vampire, what would happen if one was made from the will of an equally powerful yet benevolent being? Could be a neat homebrew idea idk.

this is really good, I would give more info on how they act, and maybe instances in combat

I'm sure he's coming back on Eve of Ruin

Good god! This is terrifyingly grotesque! I usually run beholders as pompous schemers but this makes them much more interesting and creepy.

The secrets of the Ancient Baatorians interest me more

I have seen lots of lore videos on Acererak and I must say yours is extremely easy to digest thanks to its clear structure. Great work, man! Liked, subbed and obviously commented!

It's in the Empyrean Odyssey By Thomas M. Reid It's a trilogy

I love the blood war in dnd

Where is this sourced from?

Good job. Subbed.

This description of the layers is very similar to the one contained in the table top strategy game Inferno (released 30 years ago). It is clearly Ethan both games were based on Dante’s Divine Comedy, but there are some differences among them: the fifth layer was a sea of acid where devils battled using ships. In Inferno, each layer represented one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Wish I had the manual with me, but even after decades I remember most of the description.

So the existence of blights, while may not be dangerous in themselves, represent the possible existence of something terrible.

15% crop yield!!! ill take 2 please

that things way more than 300 pounds

It will be nice to say names of the authors of this beautiful illustrations.

He is my patron my lord my mask. If master of all things and the one that I gladly bow down before. He is timeless he is immortal, not even the lady of pain who sits upon the pintle of the course Is core of existence of The Multiversal system Can dare to stand before him. He is infinite as his hatred for life is infinite. He is the one he is the only. He is the man who is so angry that literally even death could not stop him. The Great lord of the Endless death ACERERAAAK!!!!!

Currently writing a campaign based in the Hells, and this was straightforward, well made, and very helpful. Thank you mate!

thanks for putting so much work into this

Moral of the story? Don’t let the kid you’re supposed to kill escape.

I'm currently playing a drow fighter/1 divine soul sorcererx in service to Asmodeus. (The backstory was actually one of the longest I've ever created, mostly because I wanted to give him reasons to adventure with a good aligned party (especially in a campaign where the drow are our main enemies) and not cause problems of cohesion and intra-party conflict. But also I couldn't create a character with an infernal contract built in and not give the DM plenty of stuff to draw on. The extremely abridged version is that he wanted to escape Lolth because he was ordered to sacrifice his daughter (who had converted to worship of Elistraee) and he reasoned that the only way to escape the service of a greater deity was to pledge himself to an even greater deity, besides there weren't many gods that would accept drow. So he made a contract with Asmodeus to get himself and his daughter to safety, Asmodeus as always definitely came out with the better end of the bargain) I definitely appreciate the refresher, I'm pretty familiar with Avernus, Cania, and Nessus (well as familiar as you can be on the latter) but my knowledge of the other 6 hells is lacking.

TY so much for your contribution to educating the many people that are interested in D&D lore. Your effort is greatly appreciated. You have a good pacing and a great story teller voice. You have chosen wisely to become a teacher of lore. May you be blessed and have a great life!

Please continue making videos, you‘re amazing!

Amazing Video!

Maan, I would make a great basilisk! 😅

Pack up boys, we are going to hell for a tour

audio very quiet had to turn the voulme up to max.

11:06 …you couldn’t land on that planet because it would be moving too damn fast. I mean, “Buh, magical bs” I guess but still.

7:50 it’s like on dark suns setting that didn’t happen, and similarly another near catastrophic event happened in eberron

How about, the Whiffer, just noses

6:32 now and then they join forces with Skeletor.

Bulette os one of my favorite monster in DnD lore, they are fearsome and unpredictable! I love it

Aren’t both sides essentially immortal so it’s like the Great Game in Warhammer AoS and 40K where the chaos gods are fighting eachother as well as everyone else?
