[@InquisitorThomas]

Holy shit, I didn't even know there was such thing as the Citadel of Ice and Steel, I mean seriously, it wasn't even mentioned in the DMG.

[@willfrederick6885]

Same here or even the invisible college, so much lore that has been lost in 5e

[@InquisitorThomas]

Manus Weber but by that logic why mention the City of Brass, City of Gems, or Citadel of The Thousand Pearls? Even if we're just talking about the plane of air, the city of Aaqa is mentioned in the DMG entry.

[@dawsonhelf7922]

Inquisitor Thomas, the city of Aaqa? -Double D

[@gabrielrussell5531]

The DMG really dropped the ball explaining Planesape.

[@gabrielrussell5531]

@Manus Weber Yet we have room for all that bloated Realm's lore?

[@Fallenmonkd20]

Perfect timing on this, my party litterally just tracked a warlock to his base in a floating castle in the plane of air :D

[@gageabdul]

please cover more on the Elemental Planes, pleeease

[@splycer172]

I distinctly remember finding a website that detailed specifics about some of the quasi-elemental planes like dust and salt. In particular I remember reading about "The Grinder" at the center of the plane of salt and the crystal cliffs where it touches the negative energy plane. Sadly I can't remember the site anymore. A video or series of videos on some quasi elemental planes would be really cool I think.

[@locheildevlin697]

It might be on Mimir.net? That's the Planescape fan site, altho, it's from the 90s and most of the links are broken

[@Chernobog34]

I’m surprised you didn’t discuss the Wind Dukes of Aaqa, the Djinn who created the Rod of Seven Parts. That was always one of my favorite stories from the Plane of Air, and I used it in a campaign once.

[@Jorphdan]

They might get their own video, I do like the rod of seven parts story

[@calebscheidegger9461]

These videos are such sweet nectar for a Dungeon Master

[@rellix6528]

I'm writing a Warlock Patron that is a Djinn and just need to know more info, and finding these types of videos are super helpful. It was nice and short, but got all important bits.

[@goopyjq6223]

As a lover of genasi and a air genasi player this was pretty interesting. Love this channel. It always reminds me how much I love dnd lore.

[@JanusHoW]

If there was ever a warlock patron who's not very likely to screw you over aside from a celestial, it's a djinn - y'know, good alignment and all. If I ever get back into playing, I'm going to try making a gnome genie warlock of the Djinn.

[@anthonyniemiec9409]

The timing on these videos is amazing. I’m running a campaign where the players are seeking out and opening permanent gates to each of the elemental planes. And they’re about two sessions out from finding the first one, to the plane of air!

[@natetrier]

Thanks for this vid! Who are the servants you mention at 2:29? Djan?

[@patrickdees5256]

Great video dude. Been doing my first campaign with the lost mines of phindelver with my older brothers. And in that time, my brother started up a goblin cult, befriended a Nothic, and are currently in the lair of a dragon. Had to take some creative liberties (ie. BS my way through holes I've dug myself) but they seem to enjoy it.

[@thegreataydini7946]

I didn’t understand D&D lore until this point. Thanks Jorphdan!

[@Grinnar]

I'm so glad that you continued to make these elemental lore videos. Thank you so much!

[@MonsterTeegs]

Sweet, sounds like my air genasi Hashashin-flavoured Rogue Arcane Trickster would fit right in!

[@Sparkle5fanboy]

Whats really fun is having a genasi arcane dominoin cleric and have their deity be the King of all Genies of your genasi's element.

[@Jorphdan]

Love it :)

[@C0365086]

Aaah! My PC is the frickin half-djinn daughter of the Great Caliph and a captain in the Biting Teeth of the Wind! I feel so represented right now...!

[@NanoMayTry]

Hell yeah, story time about castles in the sky!

[@joshuazane3210]

Information on the inner planes tends to be sparse, so I was glad to see this. 🙂

[@dforestation2064]

Love these videos about the elemental planes and the genies. Are you going to do the plane of water and the City of Glass? One of my all time favorite settings.

[@cameronpearce5943]

I’d love to have a Djin as a warlock patron

[@Jorphdan]

That would be awesome!

[@southernsoul86]

I'm working on elemental patrons for my next campaign. Every PC will have different patrons. It's going to be madness 😆

[@TerrariaGolem]

Well with unearthed arcana, you can! Genie Warlock updated in subclasses revisited.

[@cameronpearce5943]

@@TerrariaGolem Been looking at that :D

[@nessesaryschoolthing]

I'm a bit late, but good news!

[@asbjrneriksen3431]

This was amazing for my upcoming character, thank you so much

[@Jorphdan]

great!

[@Taygon45]

I plan on having my players visit the City of Ice and Steel so they can grant entry a Djinni that was exiled so they may have her cast a Wish for them for info on how to reforge the Crescent Blade. Thanks for the info.

[@zgamer45]

Other realms please! Also is that map of the elemental planes still accurate with the World Axis Cosmology?

[@terapiamatinal]

Man, you´re the best. Wonderful article.

[@Jorphdan]

Thanks!

[@Deathven1482]

Eyy I just bing watched all of your vids and a new episode! Awesome

[@Jorphdan]

Woo hoo! 😃

[@Deathven1482]

Jorphdan love your stuff. All the lore and ideas I’ve been getting from your videos has inspired me to dm my own games. Thanks man! Keep being awesome

[@thegreataydini7946]

Deathven I agree... but the only reason I found Jorphdan was because I needed to know how to pronounce Tyr for a Campaign I’m building 😅

[@Jorphdan]

@@thegreataydini7946 Oh do not use me as a basis for correct pronunciations O.o

[@thegreataydini7946]

Jorphdan I can’t help it I thought it was pronounced tire or turr for a while and I need someone sane to base my pronunciation off of, and needed a bit of info anyways

[@kevinchristiansen4348]

I love it, great job jordi!

[@Jorphdan]

thanks :)

[@joshuafogg6600]

Perfect place for Sky Pirate shenanigans.

[@pbr-streetgang]

Thanks for the vid sir.

[@empoleonmaster6709]

Please do a video on the quasi-elemental plane of Ooze, there's nothing on it that I can find.

[@joshuafogg6600]

It's very squishy.

[@ChestersonJack]

Ooh. Gotta incorporate this into my d’hin’ni culture.

[@knightghaleon]

I wouldn’t mind playing a warlock who serves a noble Djinn in their goals to figure out the cause of attacks to the city/attacks coming from undead/unnatural elementals entering the plain of air.

[@bugzilla1]

Kobold Press brought back Sha'ir as a subclass of Warlock iirc.

[@pheflin526]

Sha’ir have become an unofficial Warlock subclass

[@doofesmirch]

Can you do Elturgard next? There is so little information about it available besides the general history and it doesn't ever seem to get mentioned in other places/stories/adventures.

[@misomiso8228]

Great Vid. out of interest how long does it take you to make one of these? Do you write the script first, then find images to suite, or do you do the images first? Best ty

[@Jorphdan]

About 2-3 hours of research, sometimes more. Then 2 hours to write a script and revise it. And finally roughly 3 hours of recording and editing for each episode. Used to be longer but I'm getting down to a rhythm in my content creation.

[@kingoctavius9048]

That cat is going down

[@dawsonhelf7922]

@Jorphdan, since you’re talking about the Elemental Planes, their genies, and their respective cities, can you also talk about the Energy, Paraelemental and Quasielemental Planes too!?😅 -Double D

[@Jorphdan]

I'll see what I can dig up :)

[@dawsonhelf7922]

Jorphdan,✨🤩✨ Thank You! -Double D

[@13mrservon]

Cat is definitely going down.

[@jgr7487]

Air Genasi don't have a Flying speed, neither do Earth Genasi have a Borrowing speed, so I homebrewed that they would have it in my games.

[@TR0YtheMAN]

Do you plan to do video on the world serpant? Or Yaun-ti or any of the other playable races?

[@Jorphdan]

Yuan-Ti are on my list of topics. If you're interested in them specifically @WebDM just did a video on Yuan-Ti :)

[@caos1925]

Thats Dalaran, from WoW though in the thumbnail isn't it? So is there no official pic of that city?

[@Jorphdan]

Not that I could find

[@vanr3977]

Shiir is in 3.5 too

Good to know! 🙂

Thanks for the info currently playing a genie warlock whose patron is her father an air genie I am using the custom lineage system for race in tasha. This is dnd world that got reverted by a deck of many by drawing the erase an even in the world asking for no war with giants to happen in the book of storm king's thunder. Also doubt that comment will get any attention in this 1 year old video.

[@Jorphdan]

I read all the comments lol. Tomorrow's video is actually all about genie warlocks so I hope you subscribe and check it out!

[@TheDontbeEvil]

[@Jorphdan]

[@hykuzo]

[@gargoyles9999]

Do you think they play games of Ice and Fire in the Citadel of Ice and Steel?

[@nuwgle4513]

pffff Yugayyim HAAAAH

[@InternetSupervillain]

? What do you mean the Dao and Efreeti are more powerful than the Djinn? They are all CR 11.
