Woo-hoo!!! 🎉 Love this. Shout out to AD&D where I spend years watching this foundation be laid and improvising when there was not much to work with. I love planer travel and all the impacts that go along with it. So much fun and so many memories. Can't wait for what is next. Thanks for another amazing video.
There are some channels that present D&D lore with the style of a recipe blogger and I am so grateful that you put the actual lore at the forefront here and in other videos. Thank you.
We used to do a lot of planar traveling once our characters got higher level (like 19 to 20) once we started dealing with demigods and gods. Never used the term Shadow stuff we called it Umbral mass but that was really a home build thing we did. we actually had a pocket realm we had made/won in the shadow realm. We won it originally as a reward for a quest then our mage, cleric and druid expanded it some. All of this was sort of a precursor to what would later become a Mage Teh Ascension campaign we played for a very long time as well :) Great video sir! I love it!
Yeeessssss the Shadowfel! Recently came to this channel as a DM who likes the lore and wants to learn more about it. This channel is quickly proving to be a new favourite of mine. Good work, dude!!!
We stayed with 2E-3E Plane of Shadows for the most part, unless you got unlucky/lost/careless/adventurous it functioned as usual, but some Shadowfell lore was used to detail the deeper parts more infused with negative energy, and the Feywild their mirror parts infused with positive energy.
thank you so much for this I have my session tonight. my players just got to the Shadowfell and the only thing that comes to mind is shadows & darkness. LMAO
I think it would be interesting to explore, conceptually, the idea that the various merged planes of the Shadowfell exerting their own independent nature. So the only thing that keeps the Shadowfell together is the constant pressure of a divine force that keeps them merged.
I am writing a series of books that are D&D influenced. Your channel has been invaluable! Thank you for the due diligence!

YAY! I have been waiting for this for what feels like ages. though it has only been 3 weeks, and I am sure these sorts of videos take time! I am just very glad it is here! I really enjoy your series and videos!
A lone sorceress shudders. "This land is terrible. A twisted nightmare of fiendish creatures, dark energies, and a maelstrom... Oh. Wait." She sweats as her head turns. "Don't...," a blonde ghost coughs, "Even... think it." "Of misery," The sorceress finishes, "Reminds me of you." "WHAT! DID! I SAY!" The ghost's form sprouts a pair of blacken tendrils. "YAAAAAAAA!"
Really great and thorough video. I truly enjoy your attention to detail. If you seek more lore and insight into the plane of shadow, the Shadovar and Shar herself, I would also highly recommend the Forgotten Realms novels about Erevis Cale, by Paul S. Kemp. His books about Cale are downright fantastic and some of the best books from the universe of Forgotten Realms in my humble oppinion.
Mystra does need an army and bodyguard to protect her. Too important to the realms. She is a Major Diety and she could make any spell she wants. So she could have infinite clones should she die plus avatars and any number of full simulcrums to defend her.
We're playing 2e, a homebrew world with no Outer Planes. My Shadow Plane is the Low Ethereal, the border to the Far Realms. The Fey realms are the elemental planes.
I could be wrong but I think the Nightwalker was introduced in the Masters Set sometime in the 80s. Could've been the Companion Set but it was one of them.
@firesniperbullet2 Fungi and other dark & damp-seeking plants/animals/growing things, ghouls and ghosts and ghasts, deep gnomes and dwarves, more shadar-kai and twisted dark elves, etc. More focus on madness, claustrophobia, etc. So, similar to the Underdark but even deadlier.
I have actually answered this several times, I just choose to not to answer it everytime. I use a local LLM, a commercial license LLM and photoshop. I understand the controversy and try to be as open as I can about it when asked. I chose to pay a premium for a commerical license with the hope that someday soon a portion of that - expensive - fee will go to the artists. I do not get any free art and contrary to what many people think, I spend a great deal of time creating and refining the art, it is a lot of work. All said, each video constantly exceeds 80-100 work hours. The technology is not going away, so I have chosen to embrace it. That said, I understand and respect the position of those that take issue.
@@RichesandLiches 80-100 hours, I feel really guilty about just thinking, "hope part two comes out tomorrow, I don't want to wait too long". Thank you!
Bro pls be real. Is there ever gonna be another bg story video? Cause you keep saying its in the works but thats over a year now, and over 5 months since i last asked. If its not coming pls just tell me so i can quit waiting.
29:09 The Shadar-Kai were actually introduced during 3e, in the "Fiend Folio". It was one of my favorite optional PC races and made great bad guys!

Can’t wait for the Negative Energy Plane vid!

Thank you Rich. Fantastic work, as always! Looking forward to the other parts of this series.
shadowfell, plane of shadow, shar, shadowstuff. sorrowsworn, shadar-kai...the designers really went to town on the word shadow didn't they?
You can practically feel the edge

Eh, I can imagine Bodyguard I as a 1st level spell, through to Bodyguard IV, as Monster summoning variants that she never casts.
@@archmage_of_the_aether she should have solar as guardians or get to breeding and make empyreans
Thanks!
Wow, such amazing lore!
Thank you for this- so excited for this whole series!

THÉ GOAT
I jeed to ask you!Did you already played the Shadow Dark RPG? And if ,what's your opinion in comparison to E5 and/or the latest D&D Players handbook?
Any tips on a way to access a compiled archive of the dragon magazines? I'd love to read through them, even the earliest editions.
whats the underdark like in the shadow fell?
Shadowdark.
@@pandoraeeris7860 what goes on there?

Do you use AI images for your videos?
I've seen this asked a couple times and not get answered. Assuming so at this point, which sucks.

Given the fact that these are long videos, having some AI images to assist is totally ok by me.
@RichesandLiches thanks for the reply it is appreciated.
