Great episode brother. More please? Love the research. Take as much time as you want.

[JaxWylds]

All the planes!? Yes, I'm here for it! Your research and presentation are a real treat.

Thank you for using “things you may not know” instead of “things you don’t know”.

It shows respect for your viewers.

[SkullCowboy]

Being a native of the Nine Hells myself, I thank you, well done.

I had never heard of Malagard and i love her demise.
Great video and lots of new stuff to learn and use in our campaigns.
Keep up the great work Archduke

The Nine hells are so daunting for DMs and Players. Glad to see a series addressing this. Great video as always 👀

This was good. Visiting a plane of terror should be the scariest thing imaginable.
Every aspect of it should be damaging in multiple ways.
Breathing, walking, seeing, smelling.... everything should be horrible, hideous and hostile. The negative plane energy combined with damaging energy should require powerful magics just to by able to sustain your life force and sanity.
I'm looking forward to your #4 on the Lich.

[Pacific-NW-Native]

I respect you dedication to a quality product good Sir!

[Tazirai]

Wish they had top lore like this for the good planes. Writers are really bad at making good not boring.

So... Malagard had some of that gum that turned Violet Beauregarde into a giant blueberry?

I had an idea for lore on a powerfully usless weapon that was lost i hell and forgotten.

A wep that is powered to a great degree by the weilders compassion.
In hell it would be an utter usless wep, but if anyone with even a fragment of compassion it turns into nearly a god.
But no one knows this or ever found this out because it was made by a demon who though he was nearly perfect, only felt that something was laking to make it so, but didnt know what that was. So when he went to make a wepeon forged from the essence of that which he was lacking the weapon seemed and appeared to be usless to him. Its because the only thing he was lacking was compassion. Being an item of pure essense, it could only be used by someone or something that shared silmlar qualities, even on a minumal scale. This being an unknown revelation to him, he cast the weapon aside and forgot about it.

A catalystic weapon of compassion thats made of the essense that is basic compassion.

Kinda like a weapon made of pure chaos could only ever be weilded by a being that had chaotic characteristics or qualities. But instead of chaos its compassion.
I just liked the idea of a utterly useless, yet incredibly powerful weapon lost in hell that sits in a pile of junk somewhere in some demons or devils armory collecting dust. Just forgotten cuz it was misunderstood and could never be used by anyone of that world.

I am greatly looking forward to this project and the rest of the outer planes to follow!

One question… aren’t the Merrenoloth a type of daemon? Haven’t they always been a separate group or were they actually counted as devils at one point as you suggested around 16:15?

I can’t wait until you dig into the lesser known planes like Acheron and Limbo!

[daleortt]

Wow! Just Wow! If this is just a teaser....

[gajukes]

This was great love the visuals I am definitely. going to watch all of your stuff only gripe is your pronunciation of Sigil it’s a hard g
