A lot of info I pulled from 2nd and 3rd edition D&D. As of 5th edition the inner planes have changed a bit. Just a correction there is a surface to the Plane of Water, and even a few islands there too. Of course you can use whatever version you like more for your planar travel adventures!
When you mean by “The Plane of Water” having a surface, you probably meant there are bubbles of steam near “The Plane of Steam” (which is quite weird that this plane is between “The Plane of Water” and “The Positive Energy Plane”, I mean you think this plane would be a Paraelamental plane, not a Quasielemental plane) -Double D P.S. @Jorphdan, I was wondering, are there other different types of genies based on the other elemental planes besides the four basic elemental planes, and do they have their own cities (I mean I heard of ice genies, which means there has to be other types, right?)? Also, love you as a fan 😁👍
I like everyone single one of your videos because they truly bring joy to my wife and I when we sit down to watch more dnd lore. Please Jorphdan with a PH, continue making great dnd lore videos!!!!
I came to youtube to research the plane of water for a campaign I was writing just to have this show up on my homepage. Completely forgot that you were talking about inner planes and just happened to come at the perfect time haha. Loved the vid!
My players are about to live on a huge new continent, but their town will likely be established on the coast. So this particular video is very helpful. Thanks buddy!
1:18 "it is an ocean without a surface and a bottomless depth" Where did you get that from? In the 5e DM guide (the one you're referring to, if I trust your description) it is pretty clear the plane of water has a surface: "The weather on the plane is a lesson in extremes. If the sea isn't calm, it is battered by storms. On rare occasions, a tremor in the planar firmament sends a rogue wave sweeping across the plane, swamping entire islands and driving ships down to the reefs". There's even islands like the Isle of Dread.
Cobalt059, I do believe that whoever sees this “surface”, they would describe it as very foggy, even at times that it isn’t foggy, it’s very steamy, also you wouldn’t even see a sky, just this ceilings of clouds that would constantly precipitate, and the weirdest part of this experience is that you would see great torrents of steam bursting out of the surface like geysers, enormous balls of water would periodically (AND LITERALLY) pulled up into the clouds and either poured out or just straight up DROPPED DOWN altogether, forming waves of EPIC proportions! Oh, and if you’re lucky, an island floating on the surface in the distance😁 -Double D P.S. AND DON’T GET ME STARTED ON THIS PLANE’S FLOOR, BECAUSE THAT WOULD TAKE ALL FUDGING DAY!!!
I'd argue that the 5e Plane of Water is either misinformation or made by a rookie writer because the elemental planes are supposed to be *infinite* planes of an element, essentially a heaven for the elemental life that inhabits Faerun
Just finished the last mine of phindelver friday. And I am hoping to do a part two with my brothers with one of the other campaigns that take place in the Sword Coast.
Could you please do a video on the elemental plane of ooze? It keeps being on maps but I can't find a single thing about it when I try to look it up. Also where did you get the wheel of elemental cosmology at 0:27 from? I've never even heard or seen mention of half of those planes before such as the plane of silt, vacuum, dust, or ash. I would love to learn more about those.
I notice if I create a basic account on dndbeyond (without buying any extra resources) that the 4 different types of elemental Genasi are one of the basic races that I can create characters as. Surprising as even Tieflings aren’t offered by default on dndbeyond. I’d love to get specific videos (or maybe just 1) on the four Genasi types to complement these existing videos about the elementals themselves.
edit: …complementing these existing videos about the elemental planes themselves (and the pureblood elemental Genies from those planes) (my original comment made it sound like the elementals were the Genies, lol. But no I can’t imagine anyone banging a fire elemental)
I guess a relic of when it was written and the particulars not always being as accessible as information is today: the Marid Padishah's name, Kalbari al-Durrat al-Amwaj ibn Jari, should probably end with *bint Jari; "ibn" means that person is "son of" Jari, whereas she's written as a woman and would thus be Kalbari al-Durrat al-Amwaj bin Jari. Her mom is Durrat, her matrilineal grandmother is Amwaj, and she is daughter of Jari. How do we know Durrat and Amwaj are her mother an grandmother? Men carry/carried patrilineal names and women matrilineal names, and more demonstrably than that, I've met women named Durrat/Dhurat, and Amwaj (meaning waves) carries a feminine connotation of perfection in Arabic.
I know this has nothing to do with the Elemental Planes, but is there any information I can know about Northeast Faerun? Specifically Damara? I have a campaign set there in the beginning.
I might have missed it somewhere, but how, if at all, are Giants connected to the Elemental Planes? Seems odd that a race containing Cloud, Stone, Fire, and Frost as racial varieties, they have zero connection to any of the elemental planes.
Actually, I think the plane of water does have a surface, with an ocational islands, who's inhabitents are often waring over what little land there is.
Picture at 0:28 has what look like quasi-para-elemental planes, but I can't find any writings about the planes of crystal, pumice, spark, etc. Where did you find this and is there more info somewhere about these places?
I know the focus was on the marids but isn't the elemental plane of water home to the sea elves whom have underwater cities similar to naboo from starwars?
As the First comment, I would like to respectfully request for Ravinca series. Because We all know that Ravinca is so rich that it can not be givin justice w/ just a single video. Thanks Jorphdan!

Hi J. Great video. What id the D and D???
I'm currently converting Planescape to 5e for my own homebrew and i'm essentially tossing most post 2e stuff
So the PH is silent, but is it neutral? (A little water pun for y'all.)
Outstanding
This comment may be too acidic but you pun was basic
(Jk ❤)
Since you're doing these inner planes videos, can you do the positive and negative planes after the earth video? Thanks!
I second this!
I third this!
I fourth this!

yeah I was fixing to say the 5e books state that their are islands on the surface
I pulled a lot of info from 2nd edition. Looks like I need to brush up on my 5e :x

You gonna look for a job in the palace then, our taleweaver ? :)
I hope you can cover the genasi sometime ;v; I'm planning to RP all 4 main ones in the future! It'll be nice to know a bit extra on them
I heard you mention them in the video, but when will you talk about crab people? I mean they taste like crab, talk like people.
I heard they are sewage proof AND depression proof
So that's where the drunken mud crab in elder scrolls 3 comes from 😛
This is such a fascinating subject! Great video as always
Just finished the last mine of phindelver friday. And I am hoping to do a part two with my brothers with one of the other campaigns that take place in the Sword Coast.
This was super helpful for my Triton character in my Saltmarsh game! Thank you!
Great video man
Thanks!

Ah water the best yet worst of all the elements

I also can't find any information. It must be a fan made chart I assume.
@@Jorphdan Definitely gonna use the idea though when I take my party through the planes when they get to upper levels!
I know the focus was on the marids but isn't the elemental plane of water home to the sea elves whom have underwater cities similar to naboo from starwars?
I don't know about the Sea Elves but Triton are native to the elemental plane of water.
Looking forward to the dao.
I think 5e doesn't have quasielemental planes any more since the energy planes got moved out past the outer planes.
Why come here and dislike the video? You know who you are! *SHAME!*
*SHAME!*
...
*SHAME!!!*

Each capital seems orders of magnitude smaller than the last. Is the earth capital going to be like 3 dudes in a shack?
It's actually the largest O.o
What about the cities in the plane of water?
Padishah or Padishate?
I saw it written both ways
@@Jorphdan Now I'm thinking it's Padishah because that is the proper spelling in the Irl context
Great vid hi
hello~
@@Jorphdan been watching since the elemental planes
1st
As the First comment, I would like to respectfully request for Ravinca series. Because We all know that Ravinca is so rich that it can not be givin justice w/ just a single video.
Thanks Jorphdan!
It is not surfaceless. There are goddamn islands on the map in the DMG
yep lol
"let me into you're plane of water baby"

5e's Marids are...ugly. AD&D 2e's Marids are decent looking.
