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.
"Yugoloths" sounds cooler, more mythologically accurate and more convenient to say than "Daemons". You aren't losing the battle against religious freaks of 80s by using the better option, get over it
@@georgeuferov1497 What do you mean 'religious freaks'? I'm Catholic, and I prefer the 'demon, devil, Daemon' naming theme for fiends.
@@XX-sp3tt words "tanar'ri", "baatezu", "yugoloth" and "aasimon" appeared during Satanic Panic
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.
To be fair, they are a little different. Aeaea is the home of Circe not Hecate. But ya, they’re very similar to their Greek counterparts. But that was the vibe of Planescape, it wasn’t the outer planes for one setting, it’s the outer planes for all the settings. And the Greek Pantheon is worshipped in some of those crystal spheres. That, and Earth is canon in D&D so it makes sense.
I think that it's a holdover from 1st edition's Deities and Demigods core book, which was almost entirely real-world deities, but did have them all existing in more-or-less the Great Wheel planar cosmology. So when Planescape expanded on that, they didn't want to throw all of those deities away.
>Toril is not supposed to be Earth And Planescape is not supposed to be about Toril. It is only one of infinite worlds But on principle I agree, real-world deities feel a bit weird. However, remember that DnD authors prioritise players' ability to understand the lore over having internal consistency. That's the reason why vampires have too many weaknesses for no reason, for example
I like to imagine the outer realms as an ideological space that forms itself out of the beliefs of the multiverse's denizens. The combination of pre-existing mythology with the mythologies of different worlds is one of the aspects of planescape that I find most interesting.
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-
Wow, this is an amazing theory with lots of lore to back it up. Fantastic work!
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
What do you mean?
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
3e has a ton of fantastic lore, I just thought this particular piece of lore was less interesting than the one it was retconning.
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.
I guess Planescape put him on Hades. Good bit of lore though, I’m always learning something new.
What prime are those associated with?
Tickling the algo Good info Skol!
Oh I miss the super deep dives. But thank you anyway. You are one impressive person.
Thank you so much! Ya these layer videos are short, but other than a handful of locations, the glooms of Hades just don’t have much lore. Abyss and the Nine Hells get all the love.
@@Genghis_Sean Yeah, at least Carceringot to show up a littlenin a videogame.
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.
Yup, I didn’t mention them here cause I talk about in my Hades video.
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.
I appreciate it!
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
Ah yugoloth related lore. Always unnerving
A place where, not only you get sick, but you can't even care about being sick. A place where small skirmishes of the Blood War can have a death tool counting in the millions. You don't want to know what a real battle may resemble.
I love planescape and I love your videos covering it. There is plenty to cover, and I will tune in to all of it.
You deserve more subscribers, man. The work you do is quality.
What a nice thing to say, thank you!
Thx for th video! i will waiting for the next one!
Love the art
Good work. I appreciate the amount of research you do for how all the lore changes throughout editions.
you have a good voice to listen to
The Gray Wastes... Probably the Worst place that any PC could ever visit. The place would be horrific, if it allowed it's visitors to feel anything.
My primary antagonists in my Planescape campaign are an Arcanaloth, Shemeshka, who is also the benefactor of the party, and her rival, a Baernaloth called the Scribe, who is trying to undermine her while trying to hijack her schemes!
