They should bring this back with Arabian writers on the writing team ofc. I want to be a warlock who made a deal with a djinn so bad lol.

[@Zyzyx442]

Good point, would also broaden D&D appeal in the Arab world by using culturally appropriate writers, not that non-arabs can't learn their pre-islamic mythologies just as good, but it would be nice to have them be presented/implemented in a appealing way for different arabic societies so they would view it's inclusion positively and not token pandering.

[@Onioncup]

@@neonlemurs4865 bruh... that's a literal class.

[@neonlemurs4865]

@@Onioncup Yeah, and it would be great to do it in thiss setting

[@cameronpearce5943]

Anybody know of some good FR stories where the Zakhara gods and the Faerun gods interact?

[@davidafonso3201]

Great, keep going i am loving the Zakhara content, and thanks to that i am also preparing a setting in Zakhara :D

[@Deathven1482]

David Afonso it’s made me want to home-brew stuff in Calimshan!

[@Darkdog1567]

Good job with all of the names! You sounded very confident!

[@GratuaCuun]

"Please please come closer. Too close a little too close."

[@c.d.dailey8013]

I am new to D&D. I like watching the lore videos to learn more about the game. It is interesting stuff. This video mentions Ajami. It is a foreign god or wizard or something. I noticed something. That name reminds me of Ajani, who is a lion character in Magic the Gathering. I guess the description of foregn does apply to this guy. Ajani has a special magical ability to travel among multiple universes. So he would be extremely foregn to the people of other universes. I think furries might like Ajani.

[@smalltowngames6594]

I'm loving this series, thank you.

[@MostcallmeTim]

Thank you for making these videos, thank you for your research, thank you for your creativity, and thank you for including text so I can take notes

[@Jorphdan]

Thanks for watching and sharing with your friends! 😄

[@maggintons]

Damn now I need to make A paladin dedicated to the Temple of Ten Thousand God's.

[@basshunter69ffs]

Great! I think we are many people who would like more lore on Zakhara. Keep it coming ^^

[@JBabyLeather]

Wish I knew the book where the pictures of all the different priests weals from

[@justinguyer7474]

The 2E Forgotten Realms book (not to be confused with the 2E FR box set) shows many of them. What was shown in the video concerning the Faerun gods is straight out of that book.

[@matthewdaley4403]

Heads up that the k is Zakhara is silent, similar to Sahara

[@Tacomaholic]

Where did you see that?

[@matthewdaley4403]

@@Tacomaholic Asians Represent did a breakdown of the Al-Qadim setting on their channel (long, but really good). The person heading it up was responsible for translating the SRD into Arabic and brought up a number of interesting facts about the language.

[@Tacomaholic]

@@matthewdaley4403 I've been pronouncing the K in Zakhara for far too long to switch now.

[@ntrpk7296]

My halfling wereleapord was untouchable...

[@Skin1in]

Ten of Thousand gods its... Ao ?

[@TheDarkHarper]

Do a video on Temple of Elemental Evil - D&D Campaign setting

[@Jorphdan]

I kind of hit the history here, but a video dedicated to it couldn't hurt :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWKzqZ2qfNehisU

[@TerrariaGolem]

Do we have Kara-Tur lore videos?

[@Jorphdan]

Not yet!

[@carloss3499]

Is Zakhara another planet like toril and abeir or a land mass far far away

[@Jorphdan]

Land Mass far away

[@khpa3665]

If your're still checking in 3 years later... al-Qadim/Zakhara was originally designed as its own setting, with the option of including it in the FR if you wanted to. But the cosmology was written as if it were its own world.

[@DeathBoster]

eyyy first arab to comment on this sexy shit letss goooo

[@joshuacaban1160]

I love dungeons and dragons best fantasy game ever made love it

[@placeholdername3818]

So the Temple of Ten Thousand Gods is basically a nondenominational church of this world.

[@agustinvenegas5238]

you could analog it to that but it's more like the baha'i religion that has been poping up a temple in every continent

[@jennifervan75]

05:07 What movie or series is that scene from?

[@Jorphdan]

Pretty sure that's Game of Thrones

[@Uchihagaara9]

Just spirit bombed that like button!

[@Jorphdan]

w00t

[@dead_channel_yt]

Is there any podcasts in this setting?

[@Jorphdan]

None that I know of. Would make for a different 5e podcast for sure!

[@adamholcomb1906]

Huh...Lolth has a place in Zakhara gods🤔🤔😈🕸🕷💯

[@firelegendmushroom]

Adam Holcomb she’s mostly referenced in regards to Zakhara’s underdark, which is briefly touched on in places. And of course there are drow there.

[@thetruthhurts4542]

Salon , god of beauty ? Really ??? No creativity . That like having a character called bbq , god of outside cooking.

[@chucotownchino2803]

Have you done a lore series on ravnica? If not, i think that would be a cool idea.

[@Jorphdan]

Ravnica could be fun, maybe sometime!
