That picture of the Angel and the devil talking to one another inspires so much in my mind. Be at the origin of a player character or the start of a campaign there's just so much that could be said there that we could never understand
Here is an idea. The pact primeval essentially is a treaty between the hells and heavens. So long as the greater threat exists heaven will not move on the hells. A cold war uncounted eons long. The lawful nature of both sides making it almost trivial in the grander scheme of things. But this is why Asmodeus allows the Blood War to continue even though he should just use his various powers and armies to rid himself of the abyss. He and devilkind are safe so long as they act as a bulwark against the corruption. It isn't that the heavens and the god have to allow the hells the souls they steal away. It is that the treaty doesn't allow any way to bring retribution for the act. Any effective action to retrieve the souls would free the hells from the pact and thus they would no longer have to fight the demons.
I liked the story in Guide to Hell. Asmodeus is the avatar of Ahriman, his real form which is still recovering from his fall at the begin of creation. His goal? Destroy the planar order by spreading atheism, thus depriving all the other planes of their energy. If a mortal dies truly believing that the gods do not exist, his soul will go to Nessus to be consumed by Ahriman. Yes, the god of atheism. Probably was deemed too scary for the general playerbase of today.
@@DaneEaston Ahriman is not based on that shit dude, Ahriman, or Angra Mainyu, is the counterpart to Ahura Mazda in Zoroastrism, one of the oldest religions out there.
I like to imagine that the page turning we hear throughout AJ's videos are him literally turning the pages of whichever of his various tomes (read: his field journals) he's got in his lap or on the desk. I also like to imagine that, about as often as not, this casual discourse on alarmingly intimate subjects is being held with someone who's simply been tied to a chair and made to be talked at by the Loremaster for some minor transgression or other. He may or may not even be aware of the presence of his auditors.
Have you done a video on sentient weapons, such as the wand of Orcus or Asmodeus' ruby rod? I would love a video on sentient weapons. Thanks for these, you're the best!
I often wonder what the Nine Hells would think. Of how some of their lore, is told by mortals in our world. Especially the Arch Devils, who have many secrets.
could you make a exploring the nine hells playlist? for quick reference , a playlist with this and the other devil ecologys in which you talk about the different layers
If the forces Law broke up into Lawful Good and Evil, did the forces of Chaos do the same? Were there any demons in the planes which turned Chaotic Good as opposed to the some of the Celestials which turned Lawful Evil and became fiends?
The alignments are a way to describe their outlook. By their nature demons are broken and insane. They are so injured in their essence that they cannot stand to see anything either not in torment or shattered utterly. If you could heal the wounds on their mind and soul they maybe could become pleasant. But know they are too emotionally torn apart to accept compassion. The fact you are put together enough to offer such would be intolerable to them. So...I would say no as all demons are either spirits transmigrated from another universe in a most brutal fashion or those devoured by the abyss and twisted in similar manner. They would not be demons otherwise. I would even argue the gibbering horde of the abyss would immediately turn on any of their kindred who were not so twisted before any others.
Closest I've seen to that is in Fourth Edition, that claims Chaos was corrupted by Tharizdun, who buried a gemstone of incredibly Evil power into the Elemental Chaos, which eventually created the Abyss.
There are certainly realms of chaotic good, however, chaos isn’t similar to law, nor is it the opposite of law or the duality of law, where as good and evil are dualities, as are love and loneliness, and hate and tolerance, chaos is one of the 5 aspects of existence without god, the other 4 being cold, darkness, silence and void.
No problem man. I write short stories, mainly fantasy, and often I get stuck, but watching these videos really gets my brain going. So thank you, good sir, and best of luck.
29:00 Ooh, a high ranking devil with sense of humor and comradery? I wish i could search more about him, Zag does look like someone devils would like to work for if you put in perspective the other options.
Ok sooooooo welcome home is my absolute favorite coheed and Cambria song, but I've got to be missing something as I have never heard the awesome opening to this video anywhere near that song, as epic as they both are. Please help me. O.o
I certainly can, Gargauth has been added to the list (as we speak, he is working his was to the very top of it, charming and betraying all other creatures on the list as he does so).
Oh My God! I was about to argue until I got a wash of memories from my many viewings from that movie. He's like Asmodeus in "nice" mode to the core! Darkness (Legend) is a mere big boss baddie but the personality is comparison is awesome.
perfect intro music, imagine it tearing through Avernis on a freshly stolen Devil's Ride right after casting Wish on it: "permanently magically animate this so it doesn't run on souls" a rooster tail of fingernails spraying in your wake
Tickles my bones when thinking about a Devil saying a "yo'mama" jokes in an ancient tongue, whose words spoken make the very ground shake, cause all mortals in the area have to roll a dc 21 wisdom saving throw or feel deep demoralisation despair. On a save, you feel deeply innate disgust and rightous fury... wholely not knowing what the devil said to the Angel
I'd have gobbled this up earlier but I saw you drop this vid right in the middle of me DMing a game lol. Do you think you could add the spelling of the various hell-dukes and important "people" you list at the end? Some of them sound like colossal fun to work with but those rarer names are tough to google without spelling. Thanks as always for your work! I never walk away not having learned something.
No problemo, they are former rulers Beelzebul, Satan and Zargon. Bensozia (queen of hell), Adramalech (Chancellor of hell), Moraz (duke), Rimmon (duke), Zagum (duke), Bune (duke), Buer (duke) and Phongor (Inquisitor of hell).
04:53 -- "...Malsheem. It was once in earlier editions a ????? of blasted rock..." I hear you using the word sphere, but I'm thinking I'm wrong. The automated captions state fear (also probably wrong). Can you let me know what word was being used?
A sphere of blasted rock with many great cracks and fissures hosting millions of citadels. It's a classic hellscape, with lakes of fire, jagged rock ridges, razor-sharp obsidian crystals, rivers of molten rock, pools of noxious poison and weather that consists of blasting geysers, volcanic plumes, firestorms and meteor showers.
@@AJPickett It's just that all the artwork and text on the Nine Hells that I've gone over do not depict or describe the fortress of Malsheem, the layer of Nessus, or the fortress of Nessus as a sphere. That is why I thought my hearing was bad.
Maybe an odd question but I'm not sure I get the implication of the devil looking at the dagger and chuckling. Could the devil sense that you didn't follow the god of the Paladin that used to own the dagger and thus it wouldn't be as effective, or was it just supremely confident in its ability to destroy you if you acted up?
@@AJPickett ahhh ok, thank you very much for the reply, especially on a video from so long ago. Huge fan of your content, and I hope you keep making it and enjoying it.
"No gods, no masters" is an Anarchist slogan. Anarchists are not great lovers of draconic laws and oppression, nor do we live in "rich mansions." If you/they want to compare our beliefs to evil outsiders, demons would have made more sense.
Poland have a legend about deal between Asmodeus and wizzard known as Pan Twardowski (almost literally "mr. Toughguy"), who had to retreat to the moon in hope of escaping inevitable
I've been a huge fan of Baator since the Guide to Hell in AD&D 2nd Edition (second only to Ravenloft, really). I am really glad that you covered Nessus in detail here. I'll have to catch up on your Baator vids eventually. :) Thanks for being awesome!
AJ was in fact murdered 24 hours after this video was up, he was then replaced by a devil named chuck. Chuck happens to like the lore of his world and making videos.
"Through it runs a river of forgetfulness. Where it starts and where it runs I do not know... or do i?" This is in the top 5 jokes you've ever made. 10/10 will use on my players
It also says he's a giant serpent hundreds of miles long and that he sits in the lowest depths of the nine Hells and he consumes those who had no faith the atheists of the Dungeons and Dragons World those who outright rejected the Gods he consumes them eternally and in this way seeks to heal his wounds
If he must feast on those who disbelieve in the gods then it makes sense. With so much evidence there are gods there cannot be many who would deny they exist. And thus he cannot have much fodder to heal himself with.
What if you where such a nasty physical beast, that Asmodeus was like "You're my go-to guy, the guy that I "go-to" when I need a problem solved", like "Dude, you're so hulked up a shredded, that I have no choice...but to put you in command of a division of Erinyes" Now that said, I hate everything Asmodeus is and what he stands for...BUT, you have to admit, and even to yourself, that when you have someone like that, with that level of Panache, that level of Jena se qua, that level of X Factor as we say in the sales biz...even you would be like "woh, Asmodeus needs me?...okay...I'll do it, I'm going to bat for you Asmodeus! I got your back!" - Sam Hyde in Devil occupied Avernus
@@ToBeSchooled I kinda think of it as Asmodeus is just the name he let's out into the world since true names hold power. Asmodeus is just another of Ahriman's thousands of lies that protect him while he recovers.
@@ToBeSchooled I mean an aspect isn't a separate entity it is just like a more powerful avatar. Asmodeus/Ahriman is the lord of lies who extends the blood wars by hiding his true power. That way he can eat all the anarchists souls and heal himself fully. My favorite part of Ahriman is thinking about when he is finally healed. He declared Baator as the center of the universe. To leave the center of the universe in his eyes will allow him to recenter the universe to were he believes it should be BUT that would break his own law. To leave he must go against his very essence as a being of law.
@@necro6767676 bruh an aspect holds about as much power as an ant does to lion when compared to the real thing. He is the one of the two literal gods that shaped the current DnD planes of existence. He was cast down broken so he could not change the planes to his whims. Which is how the 9 Hells were created.
@@thorgodinson3632 murder hobos are chaoric evil. Yet I'm sure there's creative ways to play a chaotic evil character. An arcane trickster who wants to plunge a city into civil war would be chaotic evil considering that they use trickery and such to turn people on each other. Or an orc warlord who has a Trojan horse constructed so his or her orc army can plunder a city. Overall, intelligent chaotic evil characters can work in a mixed party if played well. Yet I don't play D&D yet, however I think if players and DMs think outside the box they can pull off scenarios where a chaotic evil PC is trying to spread seeds of civil unrest wherever they go.
