Me *sees video of mrRhexx make another video of the Dwarves*
ITS ROCK AND STONE O CLOCK.
This is also where all the jokes come from that no matter how well developed or prepared a Dwarf society is -> if a really dedicated war erupts, they are *DESTINED* to lose.
Dwarfs always gets f°cked over as if the stars align just for this to happen. 🤣
man you have to do a deep dive into under mountain and hallaster! Either way, don't stop brother, love your documentary style, so good :)
@MrRhexx please give me an answer.
The vid on the rarest skyrim weapons and armors...what is the name of the song you used? It was awesome could you please tell me the name?
"Clan Duergar lives! Three cheers for every clan! Three cheers!" the disembodied voices of dozens of children yelled & cheered. For some the sound of their parents & families can be heard gathering their lot to them.
The laughter causing genuine healing energy to encompass you all. The full plate, full helm & hooded robes that cover this wonder of magic & miracle seems to vibrate ever so often.
You notice without seeing it quite readily. It is alarming.
A dwarf breeding program is probably the most frustrating thing a mind flayer can do. 😂
A whole new kind of meaning for Dwarf Fortress
Honestly, I don't really think so. The production rate of a dwarf breeding program would be extreme small. But the dwarf slaves produced by the breeding program would live almost 4x as long as a human slave would. Once the slaves will is broken and their rebellious nature is stamped out and crushed. The dwarven slave would be more valuable than the human one, they're shorter which means they travel slower and they can get into smaller spaces which will help them work and help maintain security and suppression over the slave population. They're stronger than humans which makes them better for physical labor, but their age is their most valuable component, if the slave labor isn't dumb labor but a skilled labor, a dwarven slave can acrew significantly more than 4x the knowledge and skill over their lifetime compared to a human slave.
I didn't really expect i'd ever do a evaluation on the eugenics evaluation on the dwarven slave population yikes lol.
@@dominusbalial835 Tell me about it. But when I think of a Mindflayer's "version" of a dwarf breeding program probably involves something more akin to a dairy farm, suction tubes and pens.
I feel like with the Illithids messing around with forbidden sciences every other Tuesday, they would have tried cloning at one point.
For me a high reproductive rate of my minions would be a solution rather than a problem but then I don't do slavery. To be the cause of someone being enslaved or being enslaved would just cause me to go mad by creating what is known as a super natural oxymoron.
Please give us the story of the Egyptian Gods putting the beat down on wizard slavers. It sounds too good man.
I believe in "Elder Evils" (3.5e) it was also written that the Imaskari in fact started the war against the gods, although somewhat "by accident". They were afraid when the Egyptian and Sumerian gods arrived, but instead of yielding to them, they searched for a way to defeat or overpower them and discovered another reality where they found a being of enough power to destroy these gods. They contacted the being and asked for it to fight the gods, and the being willingly accepted, thrilled by the idea of slaying gods. When they summoned the being, it had no ill will or reason to distrust them, and so they altered their summonings to rupture spirit from body, as they knew it was far too powerful to ever be contained whole. They sealed both spirit and body away to have it stored as a doomsday weapon, so to speak, and then boasted to the gods about their weapon capable of destroying them. I believe the Imaskari sought to bend the gods to their will, or at the very least make them go back where they came from.
The gods reacted instantly and razed the Imaskari empire to the ground. The reason they destroyed Imaskar so thoroughly was only partially because they wanted to help their people, but mostly because they were so fucking afraid of THAT THING. The Imaskari never got to reunite the spirit and body of said being as they were taken by surprise. So the being, still separated, is still imprisoned to this day, and it is really, really bored. It tries to lash out to people to free it, but its mind is simply too strong and those it can reach normally die very soon. That´s a good thing, however. Since it loves honoring its pact and is also still thrilled by the idea of killing gods, freeing this thing and reuniting spirit and body would likely end the multiverse, or at least kill the gods as we know them. Because yes, the Imaskari wizards were not stupid. This thing WAS powerful enough to commit mass deicide, and it still is.
@rakshalneyrak9862 do we know what that thing is?
Man. You need to make a full video on the war with the Egyptian gods. That sounds amazing.
It was. The leader of the Imaskari Empire battled Horus in the sky above his palace. He used three powerful artifacts, and rode atop an ancient red dragon. The battle was so OP it made the Purple Dust Desert of Raurin.

@@rakshalneyrak9862 I mean at least they were sensible enough to do that.
@@rakshalneyrak9862 Thing is, Pandorym is Hard lawful. They'd 100% just kill the gods and leave the rest of the multiverse alone if they were freed. Considering how dickish faerune's god's are... Killing the lot of them and starting over may do more good than harm. A certain city sealed in a gold coin can attest to that.
@@rakshalneyrak9862I think the Imaskari found a more kill happy Kratos.
You know, I never really knew just how freaking metal the Egyptian gods were in D&D.
Well, other then Anubis who is a legend in D&D, but knowing the other Egyptian gods were also so willing to throw down for their people is just awesome.
just like all gods. what rhexx left out was that lord ao himself went to those gods and asked them if they would physically send avatars, by way of a spelljammer (sort of) to realmspace.
Egyptian Gods in Christian Mythology: *weak spongebob*
Egyptian Gods in Indiana Jones: *stronger spongebob*
Egyptian Gods in Egyptian Mythology: *really buff spongebob*
Egyptian Gods in D&D Lore: *laser eyes spongebob*
You know you're in trouble when someone describes your genocide as "the coolest way possible"
Trivia about imaskar - lord artuficer of Imaskari that fought horus did so going 1v1 with a god. Riding a dragon. Race of dragons (Brown) created by the Imaskari. Wielding 7 artifacts called Imascarcanas. For a moment he had a CR of a greater diety. This is what the magical empire's end looks like
How did he lose to an avatar, then? Genuinely curious.
@@idiom2805 because 1) Horus 2) at that time deity's could appear without sending avatars. the restrictions on power and access came later
Also this is why gods put restrictions on magic (when they can) remember Azuth was a mortal when he bound Savras (a lesser god) mortal potential is boundless which is why they can become gods
@@RavenCoyote Dang, so it was literal Horus, not an avatar. Makes sense why he lost, then.
@@idiom2805 The whole "thing" of Mulhorandi and Untheric pantheons was, that they physically came to Faerun, in their true forms. That's why some of them were killed during the Orcagate Wars. Mulhorandian and Untheric nobles are to this day often assimairs, because their gods like to reward their followers with their "divine essence" quire frequently. Until the Time of Troubles Mulhorand was ruled by the incarnation of their dieties - it can be roughly summarized as a inheritable chosen-hood; portion of the divine power lived as a human chosen and then jumped onto next one in line.
That garbage movie "Gods of Egypt" from 2016 is literally Mulhorand in Forgotten Realms
Did I understand it correctly? Egyptian god's avatars travelled through phlogiston, from distant Terra, to Realmspace? Thats nuts
That's the whole joke: phlogiston is deadly to gods, so the fact that the Egyptian avatars could survive the voyage...
It's also why Ao made it so any trip to Earth was one-way only. If you somehow get there? You're trapped.

Pleeease we need a video about the complete story of Halaster Blackcloak! It would be very useful for someone like me who is DMing the Dungeon of the Mad Mage.. ❤
Stepping back into DMing after years, these videos are so much help and I look forward to new ones when they comes out! 😊
Right behind you. Haven't played since covid and I've been binging his vids.
This series on the history of the Realms is awesome, just getting to hear about all the races and significant events is truly great
Been waiting on this as a new player I really enjoy your content it helps me to build a character and understand the culture of the races and world
The heavens always smile upon us with the graces of another upload by MrRhexx!! Thank you for the content as always!!
Damn! The Spawn Wars excerpt sounds more like something straight out of a sci-fi novel rather than lore for an rpg's high fantasy/epic fantasy world.
Also, I don't have any hard evidence, but I can't help but see Dave Faloni being inspired by the Spawn Wars when writing for _Star Wars: The Clone Wars_.
You weren't kidding, this video didn't take long to release at all.
the Delzoun settled near Neverwinter and named it Gauntlgrym. they only spread out and formed Mirabar, Mithral Hall, ect after the fall of Gauntlgrym.
You’ve given more dwarf lore than he did in the video, thank you. He more focused on random topics relating to dwarfs
Thank you for making this series! It is helpful for some of the things I am working on.
I would really like to see a video going over the regions of the Forgotten Realms. What nations exist and where? What are they like? You get the point.
i feel like a very substantial part of this video was largely unrelated to the dwarves, not to say it’s bad content, just less focused on what the title had me expect. i always enjoy your content for the thoroughness and attention to older/more obscure parts of forgotten realms lore, and this video has that same quality despite not fully scratching the itch to learn about the story of the dwarves specifically.
Hoping to see some more about the Shoonach. It's a really interesting place with many interesting people.
I haven’t contemplated it too deeply but…this is the most incredible lore video you’ve made so far. Bravo, good sir. Incredible work. Thank you.
At this point I'm going to question if every "no man's land" biome is actually due to a cataclysmic magical war.
Netheril => Anaroch desert. Crown War => High moor. Calim Desert explained here. Mere of Dead men because of a lich that sunk a kingdom if I remember the video about twin black dragons ?
Am I missing any area being inhabitable because of War/Magic disaster ?
The level of your narrative easily surpasses all the limitations set by Mystra 🧙♀️ Listening to the stories you tell is a pure joy. I just wish Forgotten Realms stories could never end, so there will be plenty of materials to cover in the years to come.
MrRhexx, you're the best, and I'm saying this after watching and listening to more than 500 videos of various authors.
I play dnd with my dad (dm who has played basically for ever) brother (twin always basically the same knowledge lv) and my little sister (always wants to be a beasts mater... ). any way you're vids have helped me flex hard with my lore knowledge, thanks dude feels real good!
Glad to see you still kicking out content for d&g..I have you to thank for the appreciation I now have fir the series
So good and really impressed with everything MrRhexx does
Hey, there is a lesser known god I would really love if you could cover Shevarash, God of vengeance against the drow.
@MrRhexx The ‘next time’ portion of the video was so great! Loved that ^_^
TY so much for making these condensed lore videos Mr Rhexx. As a new comer to the D&D universe with Baldur's Gate 3 i want to learn much about the history of Faerun and your videos help a lot. Seems like there were a lot of wars defining the history of this land and very little of else. I wish writers would also write about great engineering achievements, construction projects and other creative events from the times of peace, but i guess the target audience would not like that very much.
I also thank you for finding all these amazzing images to bring color in your videos and stir the imagination. I have parteken in a few of them myself.
Great job and looking forward to the next episode. Now back to my adventure :).
Thanks for this.
I hope you're feeling better.
These videos are always soo interesting! For each edition where is the next part of Faerun's history told? Through the official campaign settings?
loved this video.. its allways nice to se some info about dwarves.. all the rest is interesting :P but the dwarves are my most beloved race... ( i would like to know more about the dwarven-human war agains the remaining genies from calishman
. . . bro. This is so awesome. I had no clue that Deepspawn were a thing. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a massive Clone Wars arc to make in D&D.
I'm definitely hoping you come back and keep adding to your dragons of dnd legend series. I love dragons and enjoyed watching
Love you MrRhexx, keep up the hard work and stellar content!
First of all I would like to thank you for all your work on these videos, I have thoroughly enjoyed them. If I could make a suggestion I would like to see a video on Bahamit, I loved the video on Tiamat and would like the opposition. I have a Paladin for each dragon god in two different campaigns but I feel like I know more about Tiamat than Bahamit other than he is lawful good. Thanks for lore and hope to see a lot more.
Excellent and concice lore content for anyone who runs their games in Forgotten Realms!
You were not kidding when you said "it got crazy"!
@MrRhexx my word man! You produce valuable content like there's a gun to your head. Thank you for what you do. You deserve a billion subscribers.
This was amazing to watch. Awesome job
NGL one of my favorite fanfictions is a crossover with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and involves that Imaskari slavery story, by basically taking the existence of all the old Earth mythic gods being in the Planescape setting and that enslavement story as a springboard and saying that as they left the Earth, the host of old gods locked it down with some old Wind Dukes of Aaqa left to "hold the fort" until their return, but the minders decided they liked being in charge and hid/warded the entire planet from their former masters, and it takes a member of the Imaskari invasion force who had gone into hiding and somehow reset herself into childhood at least once invoking the Silver Fire of Mystril and thusly getting in touch with Mystra, who then nicely asks Gaia for permission to move in and become our new Goddess of Magic, for the seals to finally break... and Gaia is not amused with the negligence of the old gods, especially since the Nine Hells have been infiltrating and causing mischief, and basically spanks any old god who wants to come back, forcing them to take on forms from modern pop culture (Loki has to take on his Marvel incarnation, Athena has to become an anime character, Raijin has to become Raiden, etc).
The fanfic is titled, "I, Buffy, Adventuress" and sadly is incomplete and seeming abandoned, right after a reveal that Primus had secretly achieved a foothold on Earth by having a Modron who had been a part of that old invasion force (who was also left on Earth) basically create androids named the Autobots who apparently created the Transformers franchise in the fanfic's version of Earth as a means of setting up a panic button so that, if the Baatezu started a power move to absorb all the souls on Earth, they could swoop in and snag a huge chunk to take to Primus instead.
The fanfic diverges from Buffy the Vampire Slayer in the episode Anne at the start of Season 3, with the hell dimension he enters having spined and bearded devils with a horned devil commander who manage to overpower and imprison her for a bit, and she's later rescued by an adventuring party and reincarnated (cause her body is basically done for by that point), becoming an elf.
talking about the earth gods sending avatars to Toril, lol and how you discriped how they got there, my brain said ... of they planeswalked. ... avatars are planeswalkers??
but i guess thats what i get for building a mtg deck while listening to your video. LMAO
they didnt planewalk. they took a spelljammer (basically).
I was not aware that our Earth existed in D&D. That gives me a lot of campaign ideas.
For instance: the US Government discovers some of the gates and by extension, the planes themselves. Players could be special agents and operatives sent to explore the planes.
Basically Stargate SG-1. I love it
I would love to hear more about the Imaskari and the fight with the earth gods
This kind of video is what Wizards of the Coast should be giving us, but I very much appreciate you doing it for them. I'm already crafting a new campaign based off of this information as I watch this. Thank you for making these!
Wow this is epic thank you for composing all of this just man
So how about history of Delzoun Dwarves founding of Mithralhall and Gautaglym. And the primodial trapped in latter, what is with that?
Always a good day when you upload a video! Thank you!
I hope you cover the other continents as well as Kara-Tur!
Just found you. Running a campaign from just after Tearfall so this is right on time.
Do not tick off two divine pantheons when you have no gods.
Great series man, This is so cool
Great video! Thank you ❤
Amazing video man.
Thank you Mr. Rhexx you are my favorite
Need a video on halflings please! My favorite race ❤
The Egyptian gods weren't messing around.
Would love to see a video over the Drow and the Luxon religion
I want vampire and pit fiend Lore so badly
My campaign is set in the Dalelands and related to its ancient and recent history. I am eager to here about the events leading up to the foundation of them and the Dale Reckoning calendar
God damnit, your videos are making my plain polish mornings in work very happy! Thank you!
Hey bro, would you ever be able to do an Aarakocran video?
Ive started my first ever dnd game and we’re about three sessions in. I was wondering if there is anything interesting that we don’t know about Aarakocra. It’s my first time ever playing and I got inspired by watching all of your lore videos 🤩
Hi Fermin!
So cool!
Love the content and can not wait for sands of doom!!!!!!!
9:19 Begun the clone wars have
Thanks for the lore! ^^
"Delving any deeper might not be useful"
The dwarves watching this video: EXCUSE ME?!? ROCK AND STONE, DEEPER AND DEEPER
Is there any book you would recommend to learn more about the history of dwarves? Anything you used to research for this video? Great job by the way
Loved this!!
heir went tomb robbing? international incident? threat of war? you can have him
Big W for earthling Gods for saving their people.
Great video!
your videos are so amazing i always watch them 2-3 times back to back!
Hey, MrRhexx. Where die you get all these historic maps of this Series? I mean the ones like the Imaskar Empire, the second and fourth crown wars and the Days of Thunder.
Hey bud. Just stopped by to see what you were up to. Still DnD I see. That's cool. I'm sure we will cross paths again soon
Forgotten Realms humans should have watched Yu-GI-OH. Then they would have known not to mess with Egypt
Gods speed on you academic quest
@MrRhexx at 2:18 Did you make that map or is it available somewhere? That one with the human kingdoms
If you want to use the Deep Spawn for . . . either creating a clone army or other nefarious reasons. Maybe you just wanna kill them, there's a series of books on DMsguild that has them - Monster Manual Expanded 1-3. I think they're in book 3. They've also gotten sick art!
You failed to mention the Yehimal_Mountains (look on the wiki).
The enslavement of the dwarves by the giants (especially the influence of the fire giants), back when the elves were under the dragons thumbs.
How Faerüin got its name.
Your video is very limited on dwarves for that title.
Regarding your Moster Classes book's do you think you can make the rules to play as a harpy?
That connection to Earth history is nuts. Nice however that our deities had our backs.
Is there a link to the chanting in the background? Its so nice
Who would win:
- Technologically advanced snakes
- Giant magical dudes
- Literally dragons
- Immortal fairies capable of changing reality itself
- Short-lived non-magical godforsaken human farmers stolen to D&D from actual ancient Egypt
Bro I freaking love this man's vids. Best on TH-cam 🙌💪👍
Lots of parallels between Duergar and Chaos Dwarves.
No Urdunnir or Ultoksamrin or Vault of Cloaked Midnight?!! FeelsBadMan, it ties in to all the dhaerow/drow stuff...
Dnd lore is so badass
Anyone else amused at the irony of a story about Egyptians being enslaved in a land not their own before their gods intervened?
spawn war is coolest dwarf thing in fiction
Nice now I have more cannon to add to my homebrew. Started off in Calisham... Then I destroyed it session 0 lol
Love it!
Diggy diggy dwarfs!
Can you make a video on Hindu or Vedic Pantheon as well?
another great video MrRhexx
I can't remember if this was already discussed in the video, but is that why dwarves have fertility issues? They had a clone war where, after it ended, thousands of people in the gene pool were direct copies of each other? If that amount of inbreeding had no effect on them, I'd be surprised.
Where did you get that Seb-tet wallpaper (29:46)
What happened to the dragons of legend series?
Yayyy me rhexx!
Is because of imaskar that all the other earth's pantheon entered faerun? Like Odin, thor tyr, zeus, hades etc
