      Huh - I just looked into it, and the Tabaxi in The Ring of Winter book are actually a tribe of Humans who specifically named themselves after actual Tabaxi (cat folk). Seems like a retcon for the author mistakenly naming the tribe of humans Tabaxi rather then they meant to be purposefully confusing. With Tabaxi first being introduced 11 years earlier in 1981, you'd hope an editor would've caught that mistake.

      I didn't go that far, but in my homebrew campaign, hobgoblins were the original inventors of the monk character class. In my campaign, most hobgoblins literally worship weapons, but a breakaway faction of hobgoblins who rejected that belief system developed methods of fighting bare-handed or with repurposed tools (= monk weapons), believing that conventional weapons would only turn on them for their apostasy if wielded.

    The Forgotten Realms wiki has different information. Ex - King Bres instead of King Thrumbolg. And the Court of Stars is ruled by Queen Morwen of the Eldarian, not Titania (Queen of the Seelie Fey, Summer Court). Is your information strictly for 4e D&D?

      Its not strictly 4th edition, but 4th edition does have more (setting agnostic) information (and created the Feywild). I dont typically look at the Forgotten Realms unless it is the only source on the matter (because not everyone runs in the Forgotten Realms). I dont know what sources the wiki is using for that, but this was also oeiginally written several years ago before 5e had much information available.

    In the Fifth Edition, I like the way Orcus has become the conceptual embodiment of Despondency, sloth and despair. He hates life because it's noisy and full of pain. He hates the gods, because they maintain the existence of this life and force the living to undergo trials. He takes advantage of the despair of people whose loved ones were not resurrected according to some "higher principles" incomprehensible to mortals. On top of that, he's also lazy and fat. Seriously. In general, he became very interesting precisely when he was made more philosophical, as befits a being from the Outer Planes. One of the few things 5e did right.

    I came across your channel by pure chance (salute to the dark lord of the algorithm). I chose to introduce the Raven Queen into my Greyhawk setting. For what? I’m a nerd about mythologies and religions. Some Greyhawk gods were created with tongue in cheek. (Pholtus and St Cuthbert), but they’re explainable. It’s the behavior of the faithful that amuses. Nerull wasn’t explainable, death considered evil is a modern concept. Utterly evil god of death isn't found in any mythology (if you have found one, please tell me). All death gods have positive domains. We cannot find in all mythologies an evil death god. So Nerull in Greyhawk was irksome. However with the 4th edition of Raven Queen my problem was solved and the gothic Shadar-Kai are cool! A consistent death deity is neutral, feared but neutral. I want to add that freeing souls don’t infer that they’re eaten or destroyed…

    • @DumpStat
      @DumpStat Рік тому

      I believe in 4e, it is referenced that souls are destroyed when used as power (why some deities were very against it). But also, in 2e's placescape - souls would be "absorbed" when a petitioner became filly aligned with the plane and, while no one really knew what happened, it was theorized that the soul became part of the plane and its energy. Perhaps thats the same thing as being freed as well, but you are forcing souls to be matched into alignment of the diety or plane

And this video has. I can also mention a few others that's worth looking at that covers things not here. Usually more thematic stuff then lore, although occasionally there's little bits of lore that they have that's not here too. But there's very little of that (lore) missing here that I can see.
