@TheMythKeeper Жыл бұрын
I will do factions at some point. I was thinking of doing a Firebrands video after the Shackles, a Hellknights video after Isger and a Pathfinder video after maybe Andoran or Absalom. I'll work an Aspis video in there too. I think those will be quite long and difficult like the region deep dives are so I've been hesitant to get started while there are still so many regions left to cover.

@TheMythKeeper Жыл бұрын
Yeah as you can tell by the length of this, I really enjoyed writing and recording this and was very hesitant to cut anything out of it. They also did a really terrific job in the 2E Lost Omens Mwangi book of extending and deepening the lore they established in 1E and updating in areas to reduce the exoticizing of the region's peoples. Great stuff all around.
@lkriticos7619 Жыл бұрын
@@TheMythKeeper They packed a lot of variety into the Mwangi expanse (I say based entirely on your videos). I can see so much potential for campaigns in both videos. There's the obvious pirate based one here. But there's also a lot of potential for exploration and finding out about the lost cyclops civilisation. There's the long standing emity between the elves and- I have forgotten the name. The trade consortium that used to run whitebridge?- But you could base a campaign around that too. Or hell just have a party trying to map the river and rocking from one crazy thing to the next.
@TheMythKeeper Жыл бұрын
@@lkriticos7619 - The Aspis Consortium definitely make for great villains in the region. There's also the potential for a broader campaign centering around the political dynamics of the major city-states and countries. Consider that there is a tactical alliance between Vidrian and Senghor that has existed since the revolution. Bloodcove still wants to establish itself as the pre-eminent regional power base and potentially be the center of a larger nation. The Shackles are at war with the Mbeke dwarves. Altogether this region could be a hotbed of shifting political alliances. You could easily have a campaign here like Kingmaker or Hell's Rebels that results in the formation of a new nation or changes the old power balance.

I can't wait for the central Mwangi video, mainly about the Matanji and their city state of the Ninewalls. Just seems interesting that they are Orcs but evolved differently then the rest of the Orcs. That and them being demons hunters to the point that most of the rest of the Mwangi population look fondly upon them. And how Half Orcs are their pride. Just seems crazy compared to the rest of the Orc lore of Pathfinder.
@TheMythKeeper 9 ай бұрын
Since the Matanji have taken in a large number of humans from the Yamasan diaspora into their community, I'm actually tackling the Matanji in a video I'm calling "the Abendego Gulf" which covers Mediogalti, The Sodden Lands, Ninewalls, Haven & the city-state of Jaha. That's not that far off now. Shackles is my next Garundi Deep Dive, and then Abendego Gulf (then Central Mwangi of course).
