FIRST! What a coincidence that I just got done watching all your D&D videos and boom, a new one dropped just 58 seconds ago. Thanks for doing what you do!
Elysium, please. In my homebrew world, the patron deity of the kingdom where my players are, has his own realm in Elysium and it would help greatly to my lore to know more about it. Love your content, I can't believe you read all those books from planescape. You are amazing and thank you for sharing!
Please, please, pretty please would you cover Dark Sun? Athas has always been my favorite setting. The lore is deep and it's by far the most disticnt D and D setting imo.
Such a good and useful guide! I am considering running a shorter campaign where all the PCs are evil, trying to climb celestia to assassinate higher level archons. However, on their way up, they gradually lose more of their evil selfish traits and eventually become good instead, forgetting their original mission
I bought Planescape when it first came out. My friends and I tied together all the campaign setting with it. I think Planescape is still my favorite D&D content because you can go completely nuts with it or keep things relatively grounded.
Finally a channel that covers the whole of Mount Celestia. I like where D&D has been going recently. They've been going back to the importance of the planes of existence in planescape. I love seeing the "whole" of the story not the individual tiny little stories that make it up.
Youre criminally underrated. I hope your sub count and views climb to match the other "big" DnD loretubers. Youre like the Luetin09 of DnD/planescape for me, appreciate you.
Awesome video! I’ve watched many videos on Mount Celestia and this has been my favorite so far. I appreciate that you include so much detail especially the various locations and NPCs one might find. It really helps to imagine the place and what it would be like.
Thanks for your in-depth look into and analysis of Mount Celestia. I appreciate it. It would be great if you did that with the other realms of D&D as well.
That's a good point. I definitely should've mentioned that in the video. It's like a combination of Dante's Purgatorio and Paradiso. It's like Paradiso in names and themes, but like Purgatorio in that way you mentioned where you purge yourself of sin, but also it's a freaking mountain island. Can't believe I missed that.
I love the... "Holistic" (get it?) way you managed to summarize everything that's in Mount Celestia! If I may suggest, could you talk about the layers of the Abyss next? Great video! Edit: Oh whoops, you already mentioned it towards the end
I know it's going to take some time with how extensive these videos are, but I'm so keen for (hopefully) the rest, they're amazing resources! I've watched all of every dnd video you've made so far and they're so good man keep it up.
Glad you like them! But yeah they do take some time. This one I'm working on now has been taking an incredibly long time, at this point my goal is to have it up by the end of next month.
long story but i bought the planescape campaign setting box by mistake when i was a boy, i was so disturbed by what i found lol. thanks for these videos
Shout out to Lord Demogorgon. The only thing keeping what's in your toilet and the Abyss from overflowing is Asmodeus. The unholy plunger 🪠 of the Nine Hells.
In Fizban's Treasury of Dragons there is the Elegy of the First World. It describes how the two primeval creatures Bahamut and Tiamat created the entire first world. Probably the Prime Matter plane itself. The other gods and their creation seize the first world. Eventually the first world splinters into all the other worlds of the Prime. Bahamut became the Angel of the Seven Heavens and Timat a captive of Avernus. This story has some similarities with the story of Jazirin and Ahriman. Two Lawful primeval beings who created the three cosmic truths and the Outland. I imagine both stories are real. Jazirin and Ahriman as creators of the Outer Plane and Bahamut and Tiamat as creators of the Prime. Now all that's missing are two Lawful primeval creatures who created the Inner Planes. The Lady of Pain is probably the Silent Guardian of these 6 primeval creatures.
Bigby's Treasury of Giants adds an addendum to the myth of the Elegy. It shows the possibility of Annam All-father being that Primeval shaper of the Inner Planes. The myth of Diancastra's Saga contains a claim that Bahamut and Tiamat heralded the First World, but the sundered fragments were collected by Annam, who scattered and nurtured their seeds, shaping them and connecting them into the worlds of the Material Plane of today and giving rulership of them to his sons (Until they lost it and he retreated in disappointment). Beyond that there is this section: "Other sagas claim Annam was similarly instrumental in the creation of the Inner Planes, slowly sorting the tumult of the Elemental Chaos until the four Elemental Planes took shape. These sagas explain the giants’ close ties to the elemental forces of air, earth, fire, and water by pointing to Annam’s early efforts in the Elemental Planes." Later on in Diancastra's saga, Diancastra, daughter of Annam, is tasked to bring Pure Perfection to prove herself at the request of divinity. She goes to the Elemental Chaos and grabs a mote of chaos, which Annam is baffled by and starts shaping it into various elemental terrains, dissatisfied each time. She says: “Forsake your cunning craft! Chaos is a canvas for creation, unbounded, Perfectly imperfect and unformed. You cannot perfect potential.” This shows that the primeval giants can naturally take Elemental Chaos and use it as a canvas that they can transform into anything. I think the Elemental Chaos was already there, and there hasn't been a primeval creator of it. My interpretation is: Annam is the one that divided the Inner Planes organized sections of Water, Fire, Air, Earth, and their intersections, as a painter would segment their palette's paint; he and his sons would then use this elemental palette to paint the ecology of the worlds. Of course, it's a myth, but it fits with the elemental connection of giants, and them being a counterpart to Dragons. Diancastra tells Bigby that that the chosen myth and Bigby's interpretation of it are reasonable ones. I have a theory that the Elemental Chaos is not actually an intentionally created plane, but an elemental landfill that gathers the elements of destroyed worlds like a black hole. A few factions and places in the book describe doomsday theories of worlds dissolving into The Elemental Chaos if things go wrong. We can see a catacylsm in the sundering of the First World; perhaps all the elements of the terrain and Dragon magic of the First World dissolved into the Elemental Chaos. This leaves survivors of the First World as the Primordials of the Inner Planes; the Elementals as their creations; and Giants as the recyclers, organizers, and painters of the Inner Planes.
I haven't read Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants. But I wasn't that far off the mark with my guess. Then we have 5 or 6 primeval creatures. Jazirin and Ahrima create the Outer Planes, presumably first. Bahamut and Tiamat created the Prime Matter Plane. All-father Annam created the Inner Planes. And of course the Lady of Pain, she probably silently watched over the creation of the multiverse. None of the three myths contradict each other, so I think there is some truth to these three myths.
In the original video about the Outer planes, you talked about the cristal spheres, where it's possible to live other words like planets and solar systems. I think it would be cool if you presented the cosmology of the prime material present in the Spelljammers series of books
Elysium seems like the clear favorite so far in these comments. Though in my last video I had the most votes for the Abyss, so maybe Abyss next and Elysium after that.
I believe dying on Mount Celestia as a petitioner means you are reborn their. While dying on other planes means oblivion. So the opposite of the nine hells. I feel like the hells and the mountains of Celestia are just inverted versions of each other.
I think that Bahamut/Paladine and Tiamat/takhisis are just avatars of the same unknown divine entity. The avatars are independent of each other but come from the same divine source.
You know, given how often a place in Mount Celestia will have a property like "you can't hide secrets" or whatever, this place is basically hell for most rogues.
Not that I'm aware of. But the Planes of Law, Planes of Chaos, and Planes of Conflict books that describe each plane in detail include 3 short adventures for each plane. Then there are also the books of compilations of adventures such as Tales from the Infinite Staircase or The Well of Worlds. They're not really listed by plane though, and most adventures involve visiting multiple planes.
The Seven Heavens are less interesting than The Nine Hells for the same reason everyone prefers Dante's first book (Inferno) over the others: there is little to no conflict in the heavens, everyone is beautiful and perfect =P Nice video though. I find it confusing that Eladrin are now considered Fey.
Damn. I've been trying to avoid AI art. I see so much of it while making these videos that usually I can tell. I guess I didn't look at the picture long enough, because now that I am I can see a few weird things about it.
@@WadeAllen001 it’s ok, I figured it was just cause there wasn’t a lot of information on the group in question, I love the videos, great quality overall. If you get the chance to change it that’s great, if not it’s understandable, I’d just make a disclaimer so people know.
I'll never understand the pronunciation junkies who have to leave the commets, "its said like this" Maybe do your own channel and stop being so critical to someone who is actually doing something. Rant over.
I was excited for this, but at about 7 mins now and all you are talking about is a subject entirely of it's own and not at all relevant as Im am 100% certain anyone clicking on this video already knows this, or doesn't care, likely because it's so off topic that it almost feels like clickbait, if one can even create such a thing with this topic.
There are timestamps, skip to what you care about. But I appreciate the feedback. So far I got one person who says they really appreciated that history of alignment part, and now one person who really didn't, so I can't be sure yet if it was a bad idea to include it. But I don't think everyone does already know about it. And the reason I included it is because in my previous videos I got lots of comments from people asking me to talk about the differences between editions. I also didn't think it was off topic or irrelevant, because it's about what lawful good means and how alignment works, which matters a lot for the outer planes and what type of characters go to the plane in question.
"Child-Sacrifice Alignment Problem". Liok at it differently: is not the *act* but the *reason*. Do you follow the rules of Society (whatever that society is)? Then you'd be Lawful and sacrifice in the sacrifice culture and not sacrifice in the not sacrifice culture. Too many people instinctively equate Lawful with Good and Lawful Good with Goodness.
But it seems like you're one-dimensionalizing lawful good and lawful evil into just lawful. If sacrificing in the sacrifice culture and not sacrificing in the anti-sacrifice culture just makes you lawful, then what makes you good or evil? You know what I mean? If a lawful good character goes to Baator and participates in torturing lemures because it's allowed by the culture, they're no longer lawful good, they've become lawful evil.
Don't be so hard on yourself over your pronunciation of "warmth" 😅. I think the only times pronunciation really matters is with proper nouns, all other discrepancies can just be called "your dialect," which I think people can be understanding of.
Really, Deva isn't pronounced 'day-vuh'? That's how it's pronounced in the source they got it from (Hinduism) With something like Sigil, I can accept the made-up pronunciation because it's a completely made-up place (although that was legitimately a mistake that a writer made and just doubled down on, like this) This is different tho cuz it's already the term for the mythological being they're describing. They don't wanna admit they got the pronunciation wrong, I guess? Also, giving it the pronunciation 'diva' kinda brings the connotations of that word along with it and I think that undercuts their seriousness a bit :/
I agree with you. I still pronounce it "day-vuh" despite what the D&D source books say. I keep my own personal pronunciations for things where I think they sound better or make more sense, but I use the pronunciations listed in the books for my videos so people can't say I pronounced something wrong (or at least so it happens less because inevitably there's something I still pronounce wrong or D&D itself offers conflicting pronunciations).
@@WadeAllen001 Right on. I do the same. Some original words are confusing to pronounce and have no guide to pronouncing them though... *cough cough* dragon names *cough cough*
5E Planescape was more of a money grab then a product about the planes. 2nd Edition is so much better written with god game design vs 5E which has zero updated lore, no continuity, poor writing and bad game design sadly.
I think that Bahamut/Paladine and Tiamat/takhisis are just avatars of the same unknown divine entity. The avatars are independent of each other but come from the same divine source.

I find it confusing that Eladrin are now considered Fey.
Yeah I did worry about that, that this video will get less views simply because heaven is less interesting than hell. Glad you still liked it though. And yeah I should've mentioned that Eladrin are fey in later editions, native to the Feywild instead of Arborea.
@@firstnamelastname7244 well descriptions are one thing, but in terms of story and narrative, for me, the most interesting stories from Heavens are those where celestials fall or are tricked =P

Thanks for keeping 2e Planescape alive.
Such a great setting
FIRST! What a coincidence that I just got done watching all your D&D videos and boom, a new one dropped just 58 seconds ago. Thanks for doing what you do!
I've been loving these. I'd love to see a video on Arborea, as it feels less intuitive as to what it has to offer as an afterlife.

These are clearly the definitive videos on D&D planes. Love what you're doing, Hope you get around to doing all of them.
As a DM for a little group of friends, these are SO helpful. thanks so much!!!
This was great. I've been going thru some tough shit lately and this was really relaxing and enjoyable to listen to.
I listened to this like a podcast and I loved it
Glad you loved it, got another one coming in 12 hours.
Requesting a video about Elysium, thank you!

heck yeah 1 hour of lore?? count me in
incredible job
Thanks for your in-depth look into and analysis of Mount Celestia. I appreciate it. It would be great if you did that with the other realms of D&D as well.
It may take a while, but that's the plan if these videos keep getting views.
Dude im so happy you've done another. So sick
Fantastic work!!!
I’m on a fucking tour rn. Watching all of your old stuff. All of it’s so good man
Hell yeah another banger lore video for my campaign
Thank you for these
Mount Celestia, despite being a Paradise Dimension, it seems Closer to Dante's Purgatorio, Mountain where repentent sinners are cleasned of Evil.
That's a good point. I definitely should've mentioned that in the video. It's like a combination of Dante's Purgatorio and Paradiso. It's like Paradiso in names and themes, but like Purgatorio in that way you mentioned where you purge yourself of sin, but also it's a freaking mountain island. Can't believe I missed that.

please do every plane in turn, idc if it takes 10 years i want this level of discussions for the planes idk about like arcadia

I believe dying on Mount Celestia as a petitioner means you are reborn their. While dying on other planes means oblivion. So the opposite of the nine hells. I feel like the hells and the mountains of Celestia are just inverted versions of each other.
Do you know where you heard that? Because I haven't seen it anywhere.
Not sure but I think Mr. Rhexx said it.
AD&D 1e had full two-axis alignment as well
I think that Bahamut/Paladine and Tiamat/takhisis are just avatars of the same unknown divine entity. The avatars are independent of each other but come from the same divine source.

As a fairly neutral aligned individual, I think the 'dee-vah' pronunciation is quite appropriate.
