Pathfinder Religion Guide: Devils and Devil Demigods

My latest Religion Video focuses on the devils and demigods of the evil planes; particularly those demigods that reside in Hell and are ascended devils. Today we look at common devil types as well as a bunch of diabolical demigods.

More details on Asmodeus & Mahathallah can be found here:

I've come to realize I'd make for a dangerous resident of Golarion because I'm consistently fascinated with lore like this regardless of whether it's good or wicked. As always I especially enjoy these excellent planar lore videos and I look forward to more in the series.

[marvelouschester]

Another great video. Pathfinder lore is shockingly in depth.

When talking about devils, one cannot avoid the topic of infernal contracts. I'm surprised you skipped the phistophilus devils, whod deal with them. It would be interesting to understand how they work and what they can do.

[Ofley_Adventures]

Amazing! You have in my opinion the most interesting lore videos for religion on the internet. Keep up the amazing work, and I do hope you are recognized for putting in so much work. Have a sensational day everyone! Thanks for the vid.

Every ad break on this video was for Diablo, which made me laugh.

I love how in place of an actual picture of the Lady of Dis, u just put a picture of a disabled lawyer from a world where contracts r magically binding, Teysa Karlov from Magic: the Gathering, well this art is specifically from the card “Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts”. She is a great example of how u need not be physically physically threatening to be a scary person or to mess with.

When talking about evil deities, I find it important to figure out what benefit the worship of these fiends can bring to their followers. This benefit of course comes with a great price, but if there were no benefit at all, no one would worship them. And this remains a problem for me with the archdevils: they have disctint persoanlities and interests, but it's never explained what boons they grant to their followers that may be enticing enough so that mortals decided to damn their souls.

Just found the channel through this video, def dropping a sub

[realtingdis]

Wow. This is a lot to take in. New to pathfinder. Started playing wotr and am trying to learn the lore. Thanks. What order should I watch

[cliffwood]

Always a pleasure to get a new MK video!

[michaelhockman]

I’d love to see deep dives into individual devil lords! The last several sounded super interesting but I feel we only scratched the surfacev

[israelmorales]

Thanks, i actually "fell in love" with the lore of D&D about hell and Abyss and the Blood War. So i was a little sceptical about how Paizo's version gona be. But i'm glad to be in the wrong, this lore is quite great. And then again you make it more interesting in the way you give ous this knowledge. Thanks again!...and sorry about my bad english

[lkriticos]

I was reading a conversation thread on here and you raise an interesting point about player vs character knowledge. As a player it's good to have this sort of world lore knowledge and meta knowledge: it helps you build either a story or a character that you're excited about and feels consistent with the world. But a lot of the lore we learn as players isn't necessarily common knowledge. It's interesting to think how much of this stuff an average character or npc might know.

[JudgeAlan]

I know your list is long but I’m hoping for the Demodands and evil titans

[justinmuze]

I love your videos! As for seeing other demigods, I would love to see some on the Kyton Demagogues and the Sahkil Tormentors

[tomkerruish]

Looking forward to qlippoths! Of course, do the outsider races in any order you see fit.
Here's a thought: the Outer Sphere is simply a foreign speck suspended in an unimaginably vast Far Realm, slowly being dissolved. The tunnels and depths of the Abyss are the cracks resulting from the dissolution of ordinary reality, and the qlippoths are the 'Welcome Wagon' reps.

[trajanfidelis]

Outside aberrations devils are one of my favorite creature types.

[Agent_of_House_Thrune]

Я думаю, что каждый архидьявол олицетворяет какой-то из аспектов Асмодея:
1. Баалзебул — тьма
2. Мефистофелес — конракты
3. Герион — запретное, тайное знание, а также коварство
4. Диспатер — тирания
5. Молох — разрушение и пламя. Асмодей — кузнец
6. Белиал — плодородие и изменчивость
7. Барбатос — социальный дарвинизм, жестокие законы природы («выживает сильнейший/наиболее приспособленный»)
8. Маммон — вероятно, жадность (как заметил ниже MythKeeper)

[AmericanAurochs]

I’m really loving your work. You have a very smooth, even academic, style and syntax that makes you easy to listen to.

[derskalde]

Baalzebul obviously comes from Beelzebub, Lord of Flies and one of the titles given to satan. When I once asked, why it's the Lord of Flies, I got following explanation: a Lord is someone, to whom people crowd around, and where do flies gather in crowds? Around dung.
So "Lord of Flies" basically bears the meaning "Piece of sh*t". I'm not entirely sure, if that's historically correct, but it was memorable.

Belial is also one of the titles given to satan, and means something like "good for nothing" or "useless".
