    A few things I forgot to mention. After Geryon was demoted, he constructed the Citadel Coldsteel on an iceberg above the Temple of Neheod, and this is his lair after 1st edition. There's also more theories as to why Geryon was demoted, but I missed them because one is from an issue of Dragon magazine and one is from an online article that only exists as an archive currently, and I was only checking D&D supplement books. If you want to know more check out their entries on the forgotten realms wiki.

      Ya I really hate AI art. There’s the obvious ethical problems but it also looks like shit most of the time 😂. I try to find all the official D&D art I can so that you know what you’re looking at is the real deal.

    Thank you so much for making this series! It's easy to tell how much time you spent on your research because these are some of the, if not the most, comprehensive explanations of layers I've heard. Very well done, can't wait for the next one 💙

    I hope you continue here i love all this work.
    St-e-J-ee-ya (Conan the Barbarian says it that way so you know it's true) lol. But you are saying it the way Greeks & Romans did so.....
    Funny enough English speakers mispronounced many Latin and Greek words ( a big part of the words we use). Caeser is actually pronounced Kaiser (like the Germans do). Which is why the Germans say it.
    Everytime the Germans borrow a word, they try to pronounce it the real way.
    And English is a Germanic language (a bastardized or low form ie. Angles or even Friesian). We are😮 just that arrogant.

      In the prime material plane there are an infinite number of crystal spheres, all with their own worlds. Each world has its own peoples, countries, cultures, languages, and dialects. In at least one of these my pronunciation is seen as the “correct” one. In the vast infinity of the multiverse, everything is right sometimes. Also I’m pretty sure I’m pronouncing it the same way the Romans did. At least that’s what I’m coping with.

      I was using the classical Latin pronunciation. Since D&D is a fantasy world, I wanted to use a more fantastical pronunciation of the word. Plus, in a fantasy world with countless dialects, almost any pronunciation is correct somewhere.

      Stih-jee-unn , you don't get to make up pronunciations on words because you read them in a book. It happens all the time.. you never had to use the word in conversation and I corrected you on its diction and syllables. Take the hit bro, we all gotta learn. I mispronounced many a word by only saying how I read it out loud in my head. Unfortunately that wasn't the proper pronunciation. Somebody would take me aside and let me know it's worded out loud like this.... no shame we've all done it. But to act like it's a personal preference is Absurd. I am trying to save you from embarrassment.

      Different people pronounce words differently. There's no objectively "correct" pronunciation, especially when it's an ancient word being used in a fantasy universe. I was using the classical Latin pronunciation.
