My group finished Descent into Avernus, and we're going to do Tryanny of Dragons where they will stop over in Elturel and I'll have an avenue of heroes which is a row of statues of their PCs. I can't wait to see how they react

In my tieflings backstory they lived on the edge of elturel with their family but when the city fell into the hells their house sort of broke off and fell deeper into minauros which is where they gained their druidic prowess

I *just* left Elturel a week ago in my campaign! I wish I had seen this first. Can you a video on Daggerford? I've been looking for some lore before my players get there and I can't find any videos on it. Edit: I know you said spoilers, but holy crap I didn't expect that ending. Especially considering how influential the Companion was to my campaign and how amazing and mystical I made and described it. I hope I get to play or DM Descent into Avernus sometime.

Ran DIA in two 6-hr sessions, a while back, for a special flashback scenario. It was fast-paced with skill challenges peppered in and we all had a blast! It was also a great way to inject a chunk of lore into the campaign.

Thanks, Jorphdan. Finally. One of my friends and D&D mates decided to buy Avernus and look into it. He's considering running it. Tyranny of Dragons, Tomb of Horror into a homebrew, and Descent are what my group are getting ready to start. I'm still taking my time setting up my Saltmarsh setting and story.

My next character is gonna be a Shadarkai Barbarian, Path of The Wild Soul. Emotionless Shadowfell Elf, who's soul is infected by Feywild emotional bursts... Good Roleplay potential... Rage=emotional outburst, otherwise the character is pretty indifferent. Also, stats of Shadarkai are good with Barbarian... Win-win.

probably a normal, not fallen angel. After all, devils are corrupted angels, thus their spawn should be a normal angel, which will later choose wheter to be celestial or infernal. With humans it's a different story, as the result would be simply an half-devil.
@IRustyI 3 жыл бұрын
Thavius*, not Thravus. Zariel and the Hellriders were set to win the battle, but the effects of hell were too much for the mortal men of her army. They betrayed her by running away and sealing the gate to hell behind them. Had they not, we may see a very different landscape in Avernus, let alone all of the planes.
@jonathancampbell5231 3 жыл бұрын
Her own fault. She should have known that mortal men and one angel were no match for Avernus. Even if they did win the battle, it would only be a matter of time before even greater armies of Devils from the other 8 Hells, or Demons from the Abyss, or the effects of Avernus itself messed with them. The fact that Asmodeus himself didn't show up to smite them should have been a clue that he didn't consider them a threat in the first place.

I wish there was a youtube site that dived into DnD's deep lore...over-lore? This is all very interesting but what happened to Bel? Tiamat was allowed to stay in the first layer so long as she imprisoned Zariel. How did Zariel break free? And this is a FR focus video, but if you read 2nd, You know there is only one setting in DnD. All setting are in Planescape. Bel who was considered to be doing a good job at the blood-war is now gone? This has to affect alot of other worlds/setting and the outplanes?
@goodanytimej8688 4 жыл бұрын
Totally agree about wanting a deep dive channel. The problem is (for us lore hounds anyway) that alot of the books give you the same or similar 1 be paragraph to 2 page bits of info on the characters. They leave the what, where, when, and how's open for DMs to fill in. Or for authors like R.A. Salvatore to write out. If you find a channel like that though PLZ let me know! 😁

@@Jorphdan I’ve read those “different books,” too for my campaign setting. Once you know the Duke of Kamlann & Lord Royal Watch Chancellor Inselm Hhune; AKA The First Shield Lord; there’s a jarring bit of discontinuity in BG:DIA. That plot hook was cannibalized from the setting where we’d always known it to be. It’s enough to jar anyone.
@Briandnlo4 2 жыл бұрын
@@zcarrell8520 You’re going to want to dig up the AD&D supplement “Empires of the Sands” and 2e supplement “Lands of Intrigue.” The Shield of the Hidden Lord; and the lore/intrigue around it; was a much bigger deal it its original setting/context. They just cannibalized that bit for a little low-level quest in BG:DIA to tie-in with the video games. 5e has really only done adventures for five or so FR settings. A LOT of the Forgotten Realms lore has been… forgotten. Except by Jorphdan.
