You should do Arcadia next

Really awesome video, I do find myself wondering, who is shopping in the abyssal markets that exist in some of these planes…

I noticed that the Feywild and Shadowfell don’t fall in anywhere, could you possibly do a video on those planes?

Thanks for this! Really good details and great presentation.

I like to imagine that gas giant planets are what happens when the elemental planes get too much direct influence over a patch of the Material- a thick layer of clouds, vast seas of supercritical gases, rocky outer cores, and burning inner cores.

Everything is connected. Nothing is independent. Is that all you are saying? Who the hell defined free will as choice "completely independent from external factors? I know you are smart enough not to believe that even though you said it. Obviously there are innumerable factors influencing our lives and decisions. I think that you are expanding the idea to far and that, by it's nature, is a methodology of simplification. Simplification that is more justified than simplifying free will; even the vacuum of space is full of noise. Can you rise above the noise, can you get more people to watch this video than the last video. The idea, meritocracy, is more akin to whether or not you had the will power to get out of bed or not. Over all it sounds like a half baked attempt at nihilism. A far less superior force behind making videos on youtube. Rhetorical question, are you motivated by believing that effort will produce a positive outcome or do you believe that effort is fruitless?

I soul pledged 🖤

I really don't care if I watch this video or not

Thanks Man! 1:40 This is where I put the book down and many of its time. They'd lost the magic and the point and tangled the fundamentals all wrong and unhelpful and unrecoverable. Too many words, no clarity added. Throw it on the fire. e.g., evil = selfish or ignoring laws. No. Chaos is ignoring laws. Selfish is just stupid. Evil is the orgasmic pleasure of causing others harm and anguish, all for no other benefit except the negative pleasure derived and the diminishment of the world.

SOUNDS KIND OF NEW AGE 👀

Phenomenal lore dive ! Loved it ! It’s really difficult to find compounded, up to date but with former lore hints on these less known planes. Thanks for that fount of knowledge!

No way it's actually called seagull xd

Explaining D&D and accidentily explain moral philosophy.

There is something super calming about this video. It's both the imaginative content and the matter-of-fact presentation. Really made my day.

You lost me at the lack of free will. I guess you had no other choice but to make this video. 😂 We don't have a true meritocracy. Yes, luck plays a huge role in our lives. Here's the irony. The people who think highly of themselves and believe they earned their position are also the people willing to take the chances necessary to get to where they are. Yes, they still need luck, but it's the luck combined with their decisions that gets them to the top.

In a 2nd Edition Campaign we got banished from the hells we were 20th level and were hunting the Dark 8, after killing 5 of them we ended up getting banished back to the prime xd

rick james dwells in the abyss

brilliant video!

As a Christian, I really liked this video! I think this topic doesn’t really get discussed enough in churches and I think if it did it would prove to be beneficial for our faiths in general. While I disagree on some things I think that confirmation bias is a very real problem in churches

Insightful analysis, thank you. I haven't read this book (and have no intention to) but apologetics books have a remarkable sameness to them anyway lol. It's mostly the same refuted claims, the same fallacious arguments.

Scientifically, not every infinity is the same. There are greater infinities. So you could interpret different layer's sizes that way.

Amazing video, love your narration style.

Great video! Thank you!❤

Careful to spout out what we know. We don't know nothing.

Fantastic video. I could tell you had a philosophical way of thinking from your Planescape lore videos, and it's wonderful to hear that this leads to logical and ethical places.

51:10 multiple demon lords on single layers reflects the broken, fragmented and diseased mind/intelligence of the layer itself. Think, multiple personality disorder, schizophrenia and the types of illness that leads to the worst human behavior all being projected by each individual layer.

dude your subscriber count is criminally low. The effort and quality control that goes into each of these videos is evident and very noteworthy, not only in the D&D youtube niche but on youtube in general. Loved this!

Runescape and the last housing update of UO had portals to housing with UO making it housing 8n a pocket dimension.

WOW - amazing job on this. I wasn’t very aware of Sigil and wasn’t particularly interested in the setting… NOW it will 100% be the center of my next campaign after Tyranny of Dragons (going from hard boiled dark GoT style fantasy to the more fantastical. Love it!!!

Hey super curious about your headcannon regarding the six primordial beings you occasionally mention across your vidoes and how they seem to correlate to dnd alignments From what i can remember/ guess feom your videos Lady of pain represents neutrality Tharizdun represents either pure evil or possibly chaos AO represents good? I got some guesses for one of the remaining three being Asmodeus (snake) possibly being law/order But no clue who the other ones would be or what other then chaos they could represent Would love to hear what they are? Ps Love the videos

I really enjoyed the video! The good vs evil concept is very complex, and I found your discussion of it quite interesting. Selfishness (evil) is hard to tease apart from individualism (chaotic). It is much easier to differentiate law (commitment to rules) from good (altruism) which suggests good vs evil and law vs chaos are not equivalent ends of a spectrum but in fact slightly different constructs. Anyway, it is interesting to think about.

The decision to have seven peaks may also be based on the days of the week and the associated planet/god in in Romance languages: - Monday: day of the Moon - Tuesday: day of Mars - Wednesday: day of Mercury - Thursday: day of Jupiter - Friday: day of venus - Saturday: day of repose, but also of Saturn - Sunday: day of the Lord, but also of the Sun

Dear Wade, I'm so happy to have discovered your channel, and now my binge-watch begins(: Keep up the great work. Would you consider exploring Feywild? There's barely any good content on it, yet this ~plane~ is so intriguing + insane elven lore

Looove your guides! Anyway, your video made me realize that I actually like the fact that demons are more beast-like while devils are more humanoid, and I'm now fairly confident it's inentional, as demons are chaotic (unstructured, perhaps animalistic) and devils are lawful (more structured, bound by contracts).

Hades is the place the greek god of the dead is Pluton

Drinking game idea: take a shot every time a demon is described as/can take the appearance of a "beautiful woman." You'll die 30 minutes in

Hades is awesome. You know how they say that all it takes for evil to win is for good men to do nothing? That's the kind of apathy I see in Hades. Yes, you coud make a difference - if only you could care enough. Doing evil by doing nothing at all is perhaps the most insidious kind of evil there is.

I love Baernaloths, just something about them having heal as a default spell makes them so interesting to play.

Would undead just dissolve on the positive plane? Or would they age super fast?

u are the goat🐐of dnd lore. thank you for your content🐐🐐

I found your channel because of D&D. I subscribed because videos like this.

34:41 oh look its Elon

I relish when i ketchup on dnd lore

Thank you for all the work you do on the videos ( love all the d and d series). It’s great for my future campaign and current campaign.

To be fair I always pronounced it bah-tor.

1:21:00 So at this point we have three places where madmen "usually" go to.

1:12:45 If that isn't a PC made NPC by an author, I don't know what is.

Welcome to the Free League, where our motto is that we have no motto. We even outdo the Athar nihilists in that aspect!
