I wish there was more info on shars followers i find the idea of them fascinating wish we had a clearer in of there ranking structure and how dark justiciers work.

Thank you so much! I’ve been looking everywhere for videos that provide good info on Thay! I’m going to be running a campaign that will come to heavily involve Thay, so this resource is very valued and appreciated!

One correction: Nylessia is the Factol of the Mercykillers like Aryl Swansong is the second in comand. You confused them with the Harmonium in the story.

githzerai seem to be cool with this faction as they can also create stuff out of planar energy and mind power

the pillar of skulls is a good place to find info about many obscure things. it is one of the main reasons for adventurers and scholars to come to Avernus

Oinos (I-n-o-s, οίνος) means wine in greek so this is so funny to me. Wine demon 😅

The torturing of the souls is punishment for their sins in life, as agreed upon in the pact primeval. Lawful does not mean "good". Lawful means they follow a set of rules, and are orderly, but will use loop holes to play the system.

Stranger things is an insult. They need to make their own shvt not ripoff everything from my entire upbringing. Demogorgon isn't for a bunch of stupid ass little kids pretending they have powers. Worse they made Demogorgon into some pansy little trash mobs. Please...as a licensed DM and 16 year employee at TSR..... don't ever give that trash ripoff show credit for stealing from dungeons and dragons. They didn't even pilfer correctly. They deserve zero credit.

Not Kiarannslee!😭 Kiaran-sah-lee = Kiaransalee Great video!

9:15 I've always heard "neh-ROOL," but I can't vouch for it beyond that.

Finally some one talks about this place. There’s something fascinating about Pluton being the very bottom of the multiverse. The antipode of Amoria of Elysium.

I love that you talked about all of the comamnders of asmo.

Wow. As a Greek I feel very proud and honored that my culture has influenced so much this game!

Another banger

Hades is horrifying. It seems like the worst place imaginable. One thing I don't understand is how do you not want to go to a place? Do you fake a destination, maybe pretend you're going to a 7/11, and that will take you to the place you really wanted to go? I very much enjoyed this.

Why are these Yugoloths you keep speaking of? You mean the Daemons.

Pluton, the dead bottom end of the Realms. The final despair and home of loss and evil.

Woooooo!

Don't know if it's an unpopular opinion or not but I dislike having real world pantheons in D&D. Toril is not supposed to be Earth. Just sticking in historical deities with basically no alterations feels very uninspired. It makes the setting seem less like its own unique universe with its own history, cosmology, and lore.

Funny thing about Cegilune; she is both a Godess and a Night Hag, and noone really knows her origin. My theory is that she IS Hecate, but uses this disguise for her scheming and more foul Hag rituals. Cegilune is a lunar godess too, after all. Two gods with very similar portfolio's on one plane? Seems suspicious. Also, Night Hags are very much favored by Devils, as one had an Archduchess title even, before nepotism claimed her. So Hecate having realms in the Hells would fit a secret Night Hag God-Queen. Personally, I like to see Hecate/Cegilune as the Neutral Evil Magic Godess counterpart to Mystra's Neutral Good, and even have a headcannon where the shard of Celune that struc Shar and created Mystra, also created Hecate within the shadow of this new Godess. Shar and Selune draw inspiration from Nyx and Selene, the Godesses of the Night and Moon respectively from the Greek Pantheon. I could go on about this deep, interconnected rabid-hole born from decades of writing, edition changes/overhauls to the lore and straight up plotholes, but when it comes to Cegilune, this is pretty much all I have landed on. There is supossedly also a link between Cegilune and the Queen of Air and Darkness, but I am not done with that puzzle yet-

Great video! Can't wait to see which plane you do next, looking forward to learning about Carceri and Arborea. Would also be interested in some of the changing lore on Dragons in DnD!

great video, thx for the investigation!

They have completely ruined dnd turned into some sort of slapstick comedy thing

I hear this as Nippleheim.

The concept of law written in common tickles me in the most pessimistic way 😋

Love your videos, would be cool to see an entry on Zuggtomy !

3rd edition coming of as basic and lazy? clearly big lake of lore knowledge, 3e has the deepest lore

Man great work on this. Subbed!

6:03 That Cauldron is also the basis for the Cauldron in the book "The Black Cauldron", and the Disney movie of the same name, though the effect was somewhat different (even if the means of destruction was the same).

Dude how are you not more popular, these videos are fire.

Man, just cranking out the bangers. Thank you

Love it! Very well written and concise!

Ahem. 1e Deities and Demigods (a.k.a. Legends and Lore) stated that Arawn's home plane is on the Prime Material, located on an island that only the dead can find. That said, Manual of the Planes makes Arawn's Island of the Afterlife a formidable Power on his home plane as well as being able to be slain on it, (possibly being shunted off to the Astral where most dead gods end up). Any worshiper of death can revere Arawn, any Alignment. This greater god obviously does not like undead and magics that bring the dead back to life, even though he will trade occasionally. In 1e, deities such as Arawn, Dagda, Brigit, et al pay attention to Druids rather than Clerics. But never mind me. I'm here for backwards-compatible content I can use in my campaign.

Tickling the algo Good info Skol!

Oh I miss the super deep dives. But thank you anyway. You are one impressive person.

Less gloomy than the rest of the plane, but, still among the top 5 places you DO NOT want to go.

wooo, they're back!

Appreciate these back to back uploads

There is also a dragon, Nidhogg (also knows as Randar for I think untheric pantheon), he is determined to nibble on the roots of Ygrdassli attached to Nihlheim and separate it from the other norse realms.

16min crew attending

This is a great series of videos! Keep up the awesome work!

Great video! Thx for the info!

8 minute crew reporting.

Great vídeo man, hope you get more subs soon.

2.5+ years into running my own campaign in 1e. I find that reverse-compatible 2e and 3e content is useful, even desired by my players. Thanks for this gazetteer.

The legend returns! Thank you for the awesome content as always man

Thank you! I am currently making a repository of all divine realms in the Great Wheel cosmology and I had NO IDEA about Fortress of Disease, so you just added an entry to my list!

I'm so excited for this.

Its mildly frustrating to me that 90% of d&d players who started playing during 5th edition think the Blood War's main battlefield is Avernus, and that's where 90% of the fighting is. Both Avernus & Pazunia are simply staging areas. They see their share of battles, but the bulk of the blood war takes place in the planes between the Abyss & Baator
