• Become a cleric of Tharizdun • Acquire Divine Intervention • Nuke the multiverse Clerics are broken

Remember kids, if it worships Tharizdun, *RUN.*

Damn that trinity of Ao, Lady of Pain and Tharizdun makes perfect sense. And the thought that they're so vast and endless as to not even need worshippers or a particular multiverse to survive could definitely overwhelm one's faculties.

I love this one. My custom campaign world that I'm running now is based on this lunatic. I'm fortunate that at least one of my players will know what I'm talking about IF they ever find out why their world is so messed up. I'm not hopeful that they will ever delve that deeply, but it informs the world and why things are the way they are. Every DM should have an internal logic behind the scenes. The Chained God's machinations are mine.

I bear a warning for you, oh mighty king. The struggle to escape oblivion only serves only to usher it forward. You, who know that Tharizdun's goals are inevitable, acknowledge that our universe is doomed. You, who would have your wizards work tirelessly to find a way to escape the dying of this world, must not ignore the consequences. Before it is too late, you must realize just what it is that doomed this existence, for you are poised to do the same to the next.

The God of the Far Realm. The Lord Of Madness and Dreams The Crawling Chaos The Doom The Chained God The Lord Of Entropy The Elder Elemental Eye The Inevitable The God of Oblivion The End He goes by these and many more names, but you dear players should call him......D&D's FINAL BOSS

Tharizdune was the "kinda" BBEG of my first ever complete campaign. The game was set in a New York City analog set in the 20's-30's. The basic plot was that all the gods and demons and devils and basically all powerful extra-planer beings were gone. And on New Year's Day at midnight, Tharizdun would be unchained and the world would end. The twist was that Tharizdun, the god of decay, emptiness, entropy, and non-existence *didn't exist.* He was just an illusion made up by the campaign's really BBEG, a Night Hag who was creating mosnters and dangerous situations in order to get the party to "level up" enough that they could survive traveling to the Demiplane of Imprisonment long enough to unleash the previously mentioned powerful extra-planer beings who locked themselves there in order to survive the world's "edgy atheist phase" that was caused by rapid industrialization. With them free, the world once again fell to chaos and reformed as the high fantasy sword and sorcery, and patently not urban fantasy world it was always meant to be.

God of murderhobos, who unwittingly worship Tharizdun with every act of unmotivated violence.

What's more frightening; the scope and size of the abyss, or the fact that all of that exists as a small scab on what is? 🤯🤯🤯

one of my fav gods of dnd, playing a custom lesser Elhoriad that has the goal of becoming the god of chaotic creation when he learns of his lineage and the chained gods tale, so far it’s a pretty rad quest

He reminds me of a painter who is nearly made the perfect painting but do to one little miss hap he wants to trash the project

Here's a fun little plot outline: Party is commissioned to fight evil, successfully thwarting plans to destroy the gems that are powering big ancient evil's prison, delivering those nasty ritual gems to the people who can use them to strengthen the imprisonment instead. Oops, the prison's actually perfectly secure & the gems unlock the prison, shattering them would make it even harder to unlock. The evil trying to break them was Asmodeus, one of Tharizdun's main jailors & the first to realise how far the cult has come to unlocking the prison...he may be evil but hey, he wants to be in charge of what's already here, not destroy all of it. Unfortunately, he's frikken Asmodeus, who'd trust him to be acting in genuinely good faith in this one instance? Party now has some interesting conflicts in that they're going to be working under Asmodeus' guidance to fix what they'd done, but who's going to trust someone working for Asmodeus, who has who knows what other plots & angles he's going to be working?

My players were smart...they gave the gem they found to a deity who sent it into a blue sun in a solar system where no life exist. It didn't destroy it, but it may keep it safe.

So i played a warlock who got his power from the chained god.....the campaign ended when I set them free sorry everyone entropy is here

Just recently threw this boss in my Homebrew game. There are so many inconsistencies and plot holes (this is my very first game, I've been running it for 3 years now.) And the idea that the world needs a good reset has already been conversed in character in some 4th wall breaking character moments. This god is suck a good way to actually do something like that, the party is against resetting, saying "even Gods make mistakes" this video is so helpful in learning about this chaotic being and what his goals are! Thank you so much!

I feel like Tharizdun is very stoppable if he were to get loose. The Over god and the Lady Of Pain should be equal in power to him, and while she’s neutral in alignment, I doubt LOP would just stand by as the mad god tries to kill her. And if there were ever a setting where entropy could be stopped and life sustained for eternity, it’s the D&D universe. The gods of light could reignite or create new stars whenever they want, and gods of life could revive dead worlds whenever they want. I realize Tharizdun could definitely do a lot of damage, but if anyone has a hopeless goal to achieve, I think it’s the chained god.

Of course you'd have a video on this😀 I just came from watching an episode of Critical Role and The Chained Oblivion was name dropped. Definitely happy it's one of your videos that was at the top of the page! - sits quietly and listens - 🍿

We played the Greyhawk module Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil in the campaign we've been playing twice a month for about four years. We were getting torn apart in there and going into some hard boss fights so our cleric summoned a Planetar to help us complete our destruction of the Mad God's followers. When we finally defeated the cult, a Wish (only the feckless rogue could use it) and a Miracle (Miracle cast by the Planetar, with a boost from the god who created him) were used to send an artifact tower called the Black Spike into Tharizdun's prison- mentioned in this video. There was one catch. The Planetar had to go with it, and be imprisoned, forever, with the Mad God. The feckless rogue decided to go off plan, have mercy on the Planetar (he was kind of our friend after all), and wish for him to be able to escape. And escape the Planetar did! Driven totally mad by Tharizdun, and now his willing tool. Not only that, but he established a telepathic link with the feckless rogue via an item he picked in Tharizdun's temple! The Mad Planetar set about reviving all the bosses (mostly clerics) we fought and didn't completely destroy in the Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, turning them into unique greater undead. He even found the corpse of a dead party member and snatched it before we could find and resurrect him. Turning our party member into a unique undead as well, forced to serve his will, and fight against us. We finally (after 16 months of play sessions), rescued our party member, defeated the undead clerics of the Mad God, a metric ton of undead (mostly vampires, specters, and wraiths), and the Planetar a couple of sessions ago. The Planetar now rests, Sequestered, after being Power Word Stunned, in a portable hole, following a titanic battle on the plane of Limbo. Our next adventure is to obtain a scroll of Sanctify The Wicked, a spell that will trap him in a gem, for a year, and when he emerges he will be restored to sanity and goodness. We are very much looking forward to putting Tharizdun behind us!

By listening to this, I learned this Greater God doesn't necessarily advocate absolute destruction and madness. The reason they went batshit obsessed with destruction was because the natural order of the current universes' natural order was literally destroyed by invaders that forced their way into this universe. This God really isn't all that bad when you think about it.

333 gems to free the embodiment of disorder, madness, and nihilism. So you could call them... Chaos Emeralds? I'll see myself out.

WOWWWWW how did I not see this before. The first time I read The Sentry (Marvel comics), I thought of Tharizdun - a cosmic power that shakes other gods into existential crisis. So powerful, so transformative, it must be willfully forgotten so as not to risk its rediscovery. AJ, this is one of your most beautifully narrated and scripted ecology. THANK YOU. brilliant presentation of a truly dynamic, paradoxical deity

Years later but I love the sound of the page turning.

Tharizdun worshippers known as “Doom Dreamers” (3e Return to ToEE) are granted an “insanity bonus” to which us players asked...”Can we get a “sanity bonus?”

In my D&D campaign, my rogue unintentionally became his herself out of saving a party member

Arguably the most important god across the various settings.

Great video and the art in this one was amazing, hats off to the many talented artists out there. Looking forward, as always, to your next upload.

I wonder would it be possible to cure Tharizdun of his insanity, if so would become the god of chaos/rebirth no longer focusing on nihilism but instead something greater

YES! Thank you! I was hope one day you might do this video.

Woohoo! Always glad to see that notification! Thank you so much for doing a Celestial series now! It has been super helpful thus far! Keep up the awesome work amigo!

Amazing vid, loving the D&D lore

Tharizdun/Cult of Tharizdun playlist: 1.) “Let’s Go” by Ministry. 2.) “Call of Ktulu” by Metallica. 3.) “The Thing That Should Not Be” by Metallica. That’s all I can think of at the moment, anyone have any suggestions for other potential tracks?

Great video!

As always AJ excellent video

Got to be honest, I think my favourite parts are the unspeakable horrors with great old ones and player class of a warlock drawing on said power. I like the idea of going through dusty books and getting power from things even the gods want kept secret. Although, I do suspect that making a pact with Tharizdun, even without its permission/knowledge, would invite some serious side effects. I do wonder what the difference is that makes a Great Old One different from a god and their followers being warlocks opposed to clerics. Actually, this relates to a question I relates to evil gods. Do evil gods have angels? Some players in a game I have are under Set(Egyptian god), and I have been wondering what envoys he would have? You mentioned Tharizdun cultists have demons, so I am wondering if other Chaotic Evils gods may use them, or fiends in general.

Just found your videos last week when looking for more info on Bulette (Bullet's?) and have binge watched. Probably my favorite sub now. Absolutely invaluable as a new DM. Just wanted to say thanks and greetings from Utah.

Tharidzun also created the 10 facets black diamond that drove the Queen of Air and Darkness insane and thus is indirectly responsible for the creation of the Unseelie Court in the Pandemonium.

Pretty good vid, would love to see more vids about some of the other gods, maybe some vids dedicated to the less well known deities of D&D.

this was one of the deities i was actually interested in learning more about since i read about him in one of the monster manuals i have. i wouldn't mind doing IO or one of the other dragon deities next or maybe some fiendish leader.

This video is very helpful to me, I'm about to introduce to my players that this aincent order that has kinda been an overarching villain stretching across all of my campaigns have actually been a cult to this God

I now have a theoretical way to, essentially, undo the D&D cosmos. 1. Build a coalition around some discovered weapon that can destroy/banish/unmake the Obyriths, possibly something from their original dying universe. Go to the various abyssal layers and vanquish the unvanquishable lords of ruin and the Flesh-Shabing Sibyrexes. 2. Awaken Tharizdun from their prison and bless the Mad God with a moment of clarity and show them that the Obyriths are gone and, with its help, Tharizdun can return the world to an un-corrupted cosmos of order. With Tharizdun's allegiance to the cause we could have all of the Astral Dreadnaughts, their Beholderkin, and other Far Realm servants of Tharizdun be no longer considered threats to cosmic order. 3. Tharizdun approaches the Lords of Elemental Evil and breaks off his deceitful parental bindings with them, persuading them that they can be free of corruption if they disgorge the Shard of Ultimate Evil from their realm. (Perhaps the forces of Chaotic Good would finally have something worthwhile to do in the cosmos if they took it upon themselves to purify or expel this terrible artifact.) 4. Now the hard part. Slay the non-Obyrith demon lords, especially Orcus. With Orcus destroyed his faint influence over all undead forces that draw power from the Negative Energy plane will be gone, and perhaps Negative-Energy beings can self-determine their fates with more freedom. Zombies and Skeletons may no longer be definitively Evil creatures. 5. The Blood War would overrun the weakened lines of assault in Avernus and the Infernal armies would storm into the Abyss and begin slaying hordes of demons. With Tharizdun's blessing, the Demons (as the last remaining piece of the Obyrith corruption) would be vanquished from reality. 6. Resurrect Primus. Primus would then (depending on origin narrative) rescind his ruling in Asmodeus' favor and erase the magical pact in Asmodeus' Ruby Rod, shattering the infernal rule over the Hells. With no demons to threaten reality, the need for a necessary evil in the form of Asmodeus' hells is gone. With Hell in dysfunction and with Primus not getting in their way, the forces of Law and Good could descend into war with Devils. Preferably, all significant man-power on both sides would be drained to the point where not only are the devils vanquished, but the Angels would not be in a state where they could impose rule over all creation. 7. Undead scourges, far-realm abominations, demons and obyriths, elemental evil, infernal terror, celestial autocracy. All would be undone from the cosmos. The forces of Chaotic Good would be left to inherit a peaceful world alongside the pure forces of Law, Good, Chaos, and Evil. A world with Yugoloths, untrustworthy CG powers, the Modrons, and the Slaad would still be a world rife with conflict. But it would be a world without imbalance. 8. Hell, maybe we get rid of Chaotic Good entirely by way of the Shard of Ultimate Evil in some great cancellation. Perhaps the souls of all good chaotic beings would be enough to purify the Shard, where it would then be a Shard of Ultimate Chaos cleaned of Obyrith taint. Such a shard could then be given to the Slaad to combat the Spawning Stone, which is a similar object of (originally) pure Law. The Shard could be involved in some "restful sleep" for the Slaad and their Gods by getting rid of Primus' stone and replacing it with this Shard. Perhaps swapping the Stone for the Shard could return the Spawning Stone (under it's original title now) to Mechanus where it could thus be what revives Primus so that Asmodeus can be stripped of his powers of Law. There. A lot of hard work and death and impossible deals with mad gods, but there. A Universe with not but pure Good, pure Law, pure Evil (selfish evil as it pertains to the distribution of resources and not a cosmic alien corruption from another universe), and pure, uncorrupting, self determining Chaos. Honestly, what's more Chaotic Neutral than just up and dissolving your race's sentience for freedom from the pieces of the Spawning Stone that were lodged in their brain? It'd return the Slaad to their original chaosstuff forms. We'd even give the Chaotic Good beings one last Hurrah suicide party where they would be seen as universal martyrs. Kill the Obyriths, make peace with Tharizdun and his forces, free the Elementals from their corrupt binds, kill Orcus and free the Negative Energy plane from his corruption, unmake the Abyss, suicide-cleanse the Shard of Infinite Evil and swap it with the Spawning Stone to free the Slaad and resurrect Primus, disown Asmodeus from cosmic Law, get rid of the Solars and Planetars by having them delve into hell and cancel out the Archdevils, and bam. No more threats to cosmic order. All things balanced between Mechanus, Hades, Limbo, and Elysium. We'd also have to let Tharizdun sever all access to the Astral for Mortals (which at this point isn't that bad honestly) and we'd have a world at peace. Even Tharizdun would not be wanting for more as any Gods left alive would be able to welcome Tharizdun into the fold as having been.. misunderstood. Tharizdun's perfect universe, where he is the savior of all. Strange parallels and even stranger bedfellows, Thooooooooooooooooughts?

Oh thank the god's! a new video at last! :) Thanks AJ

Love the vid keep up the good work

Great video. If I remember right Gary had him destroy his version of grayhawk after he left Tsr.

Any chance of getting a review of The forgotten temple of Tharizdune. Can't find one anywhere else.

Awesome video

I've been working on a game inspired by Undermountain, and I knew I wanted this deep, sprawling dungeon to act as a prison for something BIG... and now I know what is locked away beneath Black Lantern Keep! 😃

ohhhh myyyy goooood out of the abyss 3.0 is getting *sooooo muuuuch better*

The gods: “But what of life?” Tharizdun (in the guise of jontron): *Considers..* *“Fuck it.”*

Thanks for the vid sir.

I'm creating a PC of chaos that worships Tharizdun.

Crit Role brought me here

I'm casting my vote for you to explain Vecna.

I'm a bit late to the party on this video but, if we take a look at some of the races in D&D that claim to be survivors of other universes. How many times has this fight gone on? Is the multiverse a closed loop? How many times have Lord Ao, the Lady of Pain, and Thurizdun done this dance of creation?

Imagine having the power to create an infinite abyss

Pretty good video on the chained god Tharizdun, his followers, as well as his overall motives. On an unrelated (or similar note given it involves gods) I'm thinking of starting a game revolving around the Shadowfell soon and was thinking of implementing the goddess Shar (Forgotten Realms goddess of darkness) as one of the main antagonists to the players, considering she was the one responsible for creating the Shadowfell based on what I saw in your previous videos. Since you seem to be exploring the various gods of note throughout the realms, could please possibly look into her and maybe her twin sister Selûne at some point? Thank you for your time for reading this in advance.

Noone: Tharizdun: "we are nihilist Lebowski, we believe in nothing!"

Awesome!!!

Oerth. Prounounced like a Brooklynite or a London cockney pronunciation of Earth, as in "Oith."

I have this theory, which will be canon in my campaigns, is that Tharizdun and He Who Was (the creator of the first humans) are aspects of the same being. This ultra-deity was torn in two as a result of coming into contact with the Shard of Pure Evil, one becoming the maniac Tharizdun, the other becoming HWW. And when the gods and primordials trapped Tharizdun inside his Ethereal Plane prison, there was something else in there - a universe without magic with only one planet that harbored life...our Earth.

Hello AJ, enjoying your content! I subscribed not that long ago, compared to other viewers - around the Rot Grub video before or after that - whilst I am aware you are doing the Gods of the Realms and yes that's a big task. I was wondering if you have have thought of doing a video on the different magic types? Such as necromancy and such. Fairly certain many would enjoy hearing you rant about it. But mainly I thought that new members of our society of D&D may not know the difference beyond the type of spells. Not to mention that many people struggle with choosing a Wizards specialization, finding it a bit.. Game-y, such as simply picking Evocation because it brings the biggest bang. Or enchanter for buffs. A bit more information here would be nice for new people, and for old veterans that have forgotten little things here and there. Thanks in advance and thank you for the amazing content!

AO is a Sphere Overseer. Many crystal spheres have one entity like that, even GrayHawk if I remember correctly. In that he is not unique. AO's absolute authority on the Gods only extends to the portion of their essence that it's worshipped and linked to the crystal sphere of RealmSpace. For instance he could demote Lolth to a demigoddes in Realmspace if so he wished, but he couldn't demote her anywherelse like on Greyspace, Krynnspace or on the Outer Planes.

This is so informative and good! But now, Im dying to know how Bolothamogg fits in with Tharizdun, the Overgods, and the multiverse?

Can you cover more planes of existence please? Your video on Mechanus was so interesting.

Not sure how familiar you are with Werewolf: The Apocalypse by White Wolf (currently published by Onyx Path,) but Tharizdun seems to have inspired the source of Entropy & Destruction in that setting, an entity simply called The Wyrm. The Wyrm has as it's symbols a black spiral which is also one of the symbols of Tharizdun so that's one of the MAJOR links between the two. The Wyrm is the corrupted spirt of Balance now forced to only destroy due to being partial bound by The Weaver, the mad spirit of Order. The Weaver, whose servants appear spiritual spiders, wishes to Bind both The Wyrm & the third member of the Trait The Wyld who is the source of Chaos, Nature & Creation. This war is reflected in the Material Plane as Human PROGRESS edging out nature but the Wyrm causing Corruption both mentally & polluting the world thanks to unintended consequences of this human progress. On the Spiritual World the corruption has The Wyrm corrupting it & twisting Nature Elementals into Pollution Elementals etc, & the Weaver binding everything not dedicated to spreading it's maniacal order further. The Wyrm's form is better described as a Plane in and of itself & a number of beings the power of Gods serve as parts of his fractured mind. While there are insane cultists that knowingly serve The Wyrm, are few & far between. The Wyrm works best when his servants DON'T realize they are serving him, as every act of Evil serves his ends. Of those that KNOWINGLY serve the Wyrm include the Fallen Tribe of Werewolves who before they fell were the White Howlers, but now call themselves The Black Spiral Dancers, the remaining "Pure" tribes of werewolves see themselves as Vengeful Angels Of The Mother Goddess Gaia, who represents the waning balance of the Triat & that which SHOULD have been & Should be restored. I use "Pure" in quotes as their own rage fuels their heroic deeds but frequently taints their goals, nothing in the setting of Werewolf: The Apocalypse is black & white, well at least nothing is white. One of the Wyrm's other knowing agents is the board of the powerful multinational Pentex Holdings Inc. the kind of company that not only takes shortcuts that end up poisoning water supplies, but at times goes out of it's way to do it. With fingers in almost every imaginable industry Pentex & it's board also house literal monsters, including a vampire, a werewolf, & a few spirutually corrupted mutants that the werewolves call Fomori originally after the giants of Celtic myth but now the Formerly Human. The Formori of the board include a near immortal who looks like anybody's grandfather but has as the price of that long life the dietary requirements of a Mind Flayer, but none of the helpful body parts like tentacles & beak, so it's a hammer & hacksaw to get at that tasty skull meat. Even without Pentex the news shows us how many real world Corporations have nasty habits that poison the natural world enough that you can make the moustache twirling Pentex an optional part of your Campaign.

Idk how long it is going to take me to tie it together but I feel like tying him to a plot thread I have related to an evil earth primordial I have going in my game.

I refer you all to the 2e Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil by Bruce Cordell.

He indirectly created the abyss

Awesome video. That's a crazy meatball head. #Vecnadidnothingwrong.

great vid! those obyrith can be a problem. the gem hunt sounds like a neat adventure.

3:55 I think this is the inspiration for the elder gods prison in the original hellboy movie.

Any more on the Chained God's Doom Dreamers I have looked around the net and in such texts as the Book of Vile Darkness for my game.

Not gonna lie i got giddy when this went up, and maintained it through the whole video, i've really gotta thank you for making it as while i did know the broadstrokes of tharizdun's backstory there was alot of origin based stuff that i never heard and it really helps. All my characters , a certain evil and sassy drow wizard without a house, a seemingly dopey and relaxed [but in all reality bloodthirsty and mad] half elf bard, a friendly and astute [but perhaps too curious] tiefling warlock ironically named tharizdun; are all tied as being [eventually] loyal servants of the chained god. Me and my different dms even made a unique artifact given to them by tharizdun called the paradox overcoat which, well long short once a day it performed one random effect...like literally anything, could be you get covered in paper cuts, or summon meterors or make it rain bacon. i think one was even dropping the tardis on an enemy but again thank you for this, it really did make my day and i'll be sure to use this if i ever get back into a campaign.

What would have happened if the shard of elemental evil was placed in the Astral Sea as intended. That would be an interesting flip for a campaign setting theme. Perhaps on similar lines of Dark Sun where the Primordials were victorious over the Gods?

will you being doing all the greyhawk gods? this is great!

Feel like the shard of ultimate evil would be a fragment of something else greater that contained neutrality and goodness maybe the lady the mad God and AO all had been one three headed being who ruled every aspect of a reality but then the ideas they had clashed to much and broke the thing containing all three of there essences like Asmodeus has a ruby rod and the other demons , gods have other items etc so it wouldn't be out of the question that this great being had had some sort of staff used to create the very mulitverse and them all clashing in ideas like Demogorgons heads being enemies just sorta broke this supreme being with a supreme rod and then all the different aspects scattered out and they all just do the ideas they see as best but that's just a thought

Made an "Exarch(cleric/chosen) of Tharizdun" that combine himself, via "the Apparatus"(AD&D book of artifacts), with a Spellweaver, (after he found out what the spellweavers ultimate plan was/is). ~AND~ he is the BBEG of my campaign. Hes using the spellweavers, (trying to complete their work) setting reality back to a time BEFORE Tharizdun was imprisoned.......with the ultimate goal of "freeing" Tharizdun(in a way) and with Tharizdun seeing his imprisonment, avoiding it. In this instance, the spellweavers are their own worst enemy. My players will face off against him as a last boss (a cleric/wizard half fiend [1/2 fiend also give sorc. spells] "merged" spellweaver)......and if they don't stop him, the entire multiverse will be reset. With Tharizdun seeing his imprisonment/knowing the future, he could avoid it and actually win. My players just found out the main storyline this past session. They loved it, and if it wasn't for your videos......wouldn't be a thing (forget "save the world", all of existence is on the table if they don't succeed). Wouldn't be happening w/o these videos.....for that good sir, my hats off to you. Thanks for all of your hard work! Appreciate the heck out of you Mr. Pickett!! You are The Man!!!

My vote is for Kelemvor of the fugue plane next.... or Bahamut.

As entropy is the only thing which is truly inevitable, it must be seen as being above any doubt or divisive question. It would therefore be impossible to consider one as being either right or wrong, in embracing it. Any who embrace entropy share in its immunity to being questioned on divisive matters. They become above such things, just as entropy itself is. That must surely be part of the appeal, amongst those who embrace entropy.

I'm considering a Warlock with "The Great Old One" as a patron. It seems like Tharizdun, Ghaunadaur, and Juiblex are all given that title at some point, and may be the same entity, or maybe different aspects of the same entity. In terms of age/power, how would you rank the 3? I'm thinking Juiblex < Ghaunadaur < Tharizdun based on this video.

The real madness is the friends we made along the way.

Hmm how will "The Mad god" react in my campaign where surviving obyrith managed to come and actual know how to fix a dying or dead universe, and gained an ability to that can brake a god's divinity including his, the lady of pain, AO

AJ you da man!

For a video on the ultimate madness, I'm surprised the intro music wasn't Iron Maiden's Can I Play With Madness, or maybe Metallica's The Thing That Should Not Be.

YAAAY!

The pic at 14:38 Reminds me of Khorne from 40K

I imagine The Mask could one of its avatars who just for a cosmic second forget its not a mask

amazing vid... ¿dawn war vid coming soon?

Can you do a vid on what happens when the gods give birth to a stillborn and the Abomination that it becomes as they're quite powerful Undead for my understanding imbued with natural power that makes them on par with deity of lesser Divinity status

If Ao, Tharizdun, and the Lady of Pain aspects of the same overgod, I would like them to being the Id, Superego, & Ego of an artist who has messed up a work of art. Ao wants to preserve the work of art and fix it while not destroying it. Tharizdun is the Id that wants to smash and burn the work of art. The Lady of Pain is the Ego that acts as the neutral, logical force that keeps the other two in check.

Im new to D&D but I already know who my PC's are going to worship lol

Are you ever going to any videos from the Greyhawk setting?

I'm doing research for a campaign, and I'm trying to pin down my Big Bad. I just watched your video on Ygorl. Madness, entropy, nihilism, chaos, the destruction of everything, born at the end of time... would it make any sense for me to say that Ygorl is an aspect of Tharizdun? Even if it's just in a "in my universe" kind of way?

Currently playing a Human Dhampir Paladin of Tharizdun, Oath of Vengeance.

hey wasn't that naga sadow in the beginning

Hmmm I think I remember a Tharzidun reference from the original Keep on the Borderlands. A very brief temple among the Caves of Chaos and not by name... more an elder eye cult description

Will you do one on the primordials?

I walk the planes...

Are you going to do these in a particular order?

where can i find that picture at 5:17 ?
