When a king or a lord needs to punish someone and they have a castle, they make dungeons. This has evolved into what it is now. Dwarven mines. Most of those dungeons have been created to hide or guard something. Some are natural, many could be magically made. But all in all. A dungeon is used for prisoners and punishment.
I'd love to hear more about the Metallic dragons. How'd they go from creatures of pure destruction and chaos, seemingly no different from the evil Chromatic dragons to the children of Bahamut, god of the good and powerful Metallic dragons? Or at least the well-meaning and powerful metallic dragons. From the mischievous copper I think it was to the just gold, what happened to make them rise above baser chaotic instincts? Or were these instincts simply gone when they became well, metallic dragons? Also. DRAGONBORN!!! Tell us all about them.
I am really excited for you to cover guard drakes, they are my favourite monster found in Volo's guide I would love to learn more about the details of the ritual in which one is birthed
This is why I keep watching you, your DnD lore videos are awesome, please continue. Also, Iam interesting in undead, could you do lore video about Liches for example?
I think I start playing Baldur's gate again, Its nice to see forgotten realms and similar. Are there any people interesting in DnD on videoconferencies?
yo rhexx keep it up I love the lore you piece together and as a young DM I feel having these vids as bookmarker tools for story is awesome keep throwing these together... also would love a video on The Aboleth and other sea monsters or sea kin.
kknives I'm planning to introduce them to my group soon. Can't wait for them to get freaked out from witnessing their first brain sucking lol mwahahahahahahha!
Mindflayers aren't too bad so long as you have either a necromancer or a cleric with summon undead, undead summons wreck mindflayers as they are immune to most of their attacks.
Mind Flayer's are kind of wild because if you take into account their lore and history (check Spelljammer) they're literally not from this world, but instead come from an evil intergalactic empire.
found this channel on accident thinking I was clicking a different video with a similar thumbnail. happy accident... now I'm looking forward to spending way to much time watching past videos and can't wait to see what else is to come. awesome channel.
I'd love a video on the origin of magic and the differences between wizards, sorcerers, warlocks, and bards. It would help me to know how all this stuff works when I cast spells.
I am running a campaign that focuses heavily on dragons and this video will be a big help. Cannot wait to set up some type of conflict involving a "meter" headed straight for the Sword Coast.
But.....where does Ao play the role with all the Primordials ? Isn't he an Overgod, an entity that is able to reshape fate of any single creature in the Multiverse ? Including powers themselves ?
If you read here forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Ao Asgorath is said to be a female and Ao was the one who created the twin worlds. Extract from the website: During the Days of Thunder when the Batrachi were losing their war against the Titans, they performed a powerful summoning ritual and released several primordials from their ancient prisons. The gods quickly moved against their ancient foes, and those battles caused the worldwide catastrophes that destroyed the batrachi civilization. A primordial known as "Asgorath the World-Shaper", determined to destroy the world if she couldn't control it, threw an ice moon at the planet, creating the Sea of Fallen Stars. This event was known as the Tearfall. Before the world was completely destroyed, Lord Ao intervened and sundered the original world of Abeir-Toril into two twin worlds, Abeir and Toril, giving the former to the primordials and the latter (the original world) to the gods, ending the conflict.
@@chgo-kj7cj 1ch1go 33 Yer welcome. I too wished to know what Ao's role was during this time so I researched it a while back. Taking nothing away from these vids though because I love all those Lore videos MrRhexx does.
Loving all these vids, your succubus one makes me wanna sick a Succubus on my cleric lol Can you make more vids that go deeper into areas within outer planes like a vid on The City of Brass in the Elemental Plane of Chaos or even just more stuff on the Astral Plane please!
Rhexx, this one was awesome. I didn't have any idea about this creation myth, and it's super interesting to compare this myth to those of the Dragonborn and the Sarrukh records and myths about "the changing of the stars"; There is also the Dawn War and the first Sundering myths. I wonder what role Io and later Bahamut and Tiamat play in all of this, taking into account that they're gods, not Primordials. Once again, extremely interesting video, Rhexx, please keep it up.
I really love your D&D explanations and I learn so much and it's awesome!!! I'd like to hear about gods and on the other Hand one other Episode about devils.
It's actually really funny that you post this video since I was thinking earlier while I was rewatching your Skyrim Loreplay, where do the Dragons in the Elder Scrolls come from. Were they all just created and that was it? Do/can dragons reproduce? Were all dragons created at the same time?
4E screwed up Forgotten Realms creation myths... that whole primordial thing is just silly. The Selune/Shar things was WAY cooler and more unique. What they have now is just a cheap knock-off of the Greek God/Titan war.
@@heavenbuilder2365 short version Ao created sphere then in that, first things born were Selune and Shar(and maybe shadevari), they created aber-toril, then they foght and from leftover power other gods were created
@@MortalReaver I like the 4e version better BUT I mix them. I place Ao as the Creatoe but not of all and it fits with him being something akin to a Primordial since he's never needed prayer or worship. There is the Being od Lighr so my guess is that all realms have their own Overgod. The titan war and giant vs dragon war (Greek AND Viking) make it more complete to me than angry sisters who... Became less and less important throughout.
love these dnd vids. would also love to see some more videos related to culture or world events. Maybe a video on Waterdeep or maybe ravenloft caste or some inportant people :)
Hmm this does help clarify a couple of things. As you said, most of this info is wrapped in myths, but I came here hoping to get a few answers like: What are his titles (like Bahamut is known as the Platinum Dragon)? What kind of diety is he (Like what plane does he live on)? And why would he face off against a god such as the Raven Queen for one of his own? With this I think I can solidify my Shadowfell dragonborn's background quite nicely
This isn't second edition, is it? o.o; eh, whatever, I'd suggest doing an episode (or series) on Netheril! Kids LOVE stories of lost ancient over-powered magical empires! You could cover the ambitions of Karsus, or cover the tragedy of Lady Polaris? While in Netheril, the origins of the lightning bolt, magic missile, and other iconic spells could be covered? Even Ioun Stones are made in Netheril. ^_^ edit: It's also the reason Humans have to use "Lowly Primitive Elven Magic" (Elves would argue that their magic is a more elegant coaxing of effect, versus the rough power grab of human magic) instead of drawing magical energy straight from the weave to access level 12 spells.
So dragons are aliens that orbited a distant moon as eggs until they crashed into earth and destroyed the world in a titanic war against giants? So. Fucking. Metal.
Wait . . . . The Sarruks evolved into the yuan ti? I thought they made them along with the naga and later evolved into lizardfolk. You covered this in the video of the naga, and my own look through the lore points to this as well for the forgotten realms. So which is it?
They most likely died out, except for the ones who are now liches, or they have long departed into other realms. This is how DnD handles most old powerful races, the Sarrukh would still rule the entire planet with their knowledge of magic if they hadn't found a way to destroy themselves. Everything the elves built and know about magic came from just trying to decipher what the Sarrukh knew about magic and their myth says they were taught directly by the World Serpent. The Yaun-ti are most likely a servant race, that has tried to step into the Sarrukh's shoes after they all disappeared, otherwise the Yaun-ti would be way more powerful, but if they were a servant race, the Sarrukh wouldn't elevate them to be their equals in knowledge.
It's not retconned. It's a retelling of the same story (the Tearfall), from another perspective. Bahamut & Tiamat are aspects of Asgorath/Io. Asgorath is an aspect if the world serpent. The World Serpent is an amalgamation of many beings. Even Jazirian and Asmodeus owe their existence to the world serpent.
Just wondering have you done any videos on the Lich, flesh golem types, warforged, to the different type of Clockwork characters like - Clockwork Mage, Clockwork Soldier, Clockwork Dragon type builds?
Azaroth: Yeah I just kind of threw your unborn bodies into an atmosphere of a planet and hope for the best. One could say I was planning on the fly and it was up to you to stick the landing.
@MrRhexx After the new release of Fizban's treasury of Dragons, do you think this could have an update with your dragon series with any changes or updates that the book may give ?
Asgorath is actually just a re-branding of Io the Concordant Dragon (or Io the Ninefold Dragon, or whatever moniker you prefer). Check out the Forgotten Realms wiki.

Gods in D&D work like youtubers.
The more followers that worship them, the more power they have.
Hermon the great rhexx respected deity of lore and gladitorial combat videos XD
Do the gods have a hierarchy if so is the king give power above all other gods?
stuff stuffing I guess it’s in relation to their sub count, sooo yeah pretty shitty king of the gods

Well when a mommy dragon and a daddy dragon tolerate each other enough...
Always interesting to see how the different Fantasy elements from various historical inspirations play off of each other in DnD.
Spoilers dragon kick the ever loving fuck out of the giants to the point that the giants gods forsake them
Althought it was short is was a great setup for future videos. Good Work Rhexx!
Loving these DnD videos. The lore comes in useful as inspiration for a DM, so thank you for making these!

Even though it's DnD, if I see Smaug's eyes I click. But seriously, You're getting me into DnD Rhexx. Keep up the DnD lore.
But.....where does Ao play the role with all the Primordials ? Isn't he an Overgod, an entity that is able to reshape fate of any single creature in the Multiverse ? Including powers themselves ?
This is the 4e Lore, in the 5e Ao come do play the OverGod role again cuz all this shit lore don't make sense for the previous lore.
@@AgataCris_ Wait which lore are you saying is shit? The lore in this video? Why doesn't it make sense?

Love the videos Rhexx :D Your videos light up my day and I will always be grateful for that
that twist....... holy shit
I.K.R!
You should make a video about the war between devils & demons
This actually got me pretty excited for your next video. Nice job!
Rhexx keep making these videos. They're some of the best on UA-cam imo!!!! Vampires next?
Remember, there is no such thing as a non existent or "incorrect" dragon in mythology. Dragons care not for your petty categorization.
Did you just misdragon me? Check your humanoid privilege shitlord!

Yeah well, your hair is stupid.

Couldn't take it seriously with that classic EpicMealTime music in the background
I like your style guy. keep em coming.
Great narrative skill!
This is easy when a mummy dragon meets a daddy dragon......
Where are dragons come from? ;)

i love watching your videos there very informative and easy to follow
“What do dragons dream of, when they take a little dragon snooze?”
Do they dream of hording riches? Or serving Tiamut and Bahamut?
Wait . . . .
The Sarruks evolved into the yuan ti?
I thought they made them along with the naga and later evolved into lizardfolk.
You covered this in the video of the naga, and my own look through the lore points to this as well for the forgotten realms.
So which is it?
Sort of both or neither the lore contradicts itself from time to time due to the nature of dnd
They most likely died out, except for the ones who are now liches, or they have long departed into other realms.
This is how DnD handles most old powerful races, the Sarrukh would still rule the entire planet with their knowledge of magic if they hadn't found a way to destroy themselves. Everything the elves built and know about magic came from just trying to decipher what the Sarrukh knew about magic and their myth says they were taught directly by the World Serpent.
The Yaun-ti are most likely a servant race, that has tried to step into the Sarrukh's shoes after they all disappeared, otherwise the Yaun-ti would be way more powerful, but if they were a servant race, the Sarrukh wouldn't elevate them to be their equals in knowledge.
Love your story telling.
Would like more on creator races and days before and around the Days of Thunder
I think the next skyrim battle you do is all the jarls against each other
But...There's one they fear. In their tongue, he's Dovahkiin:
Dragon Born! ;D
FUS RO DAH!
Where are the two siblings? Bahamut? Tiamat?
Have they been retconed?
It's not retconned. It's a retelling of the same story (the Tearfall), from another perspective.
Bahamut & Tiamat are aspects of Asgorath/Io. Asgorath is an aspect if the world serpent. The World Serpent is an amalgamation of many beings. Even Jazirian and Asmodeus owe their existence to the world serpent.
Wherever you want them there isnt any cannon in D&D just guidelines
more more lol love all your DnD video places never stop
Are you thinking about doing a Cult of the Dragon lore video?
Or a Elemental Cults video?
I miss these videos
Well you see little Timmy, when papa dragon and mama dragon love each other very much...
Dude, great video.
Just wondering have you done any videos on the Lich, flesh golem types, warforged, to the different type of Clockwork characters like - Clockwork Mage, Clockwork Soldier, Clockwork Dragon type builds?
This video was BADASS.
more dragons please, especially gemstone dragons
Dude, you could make taking a shit sound like the most epic thing in the world
Holy shit, that was intense...
:D I love it!
D&D lore video without info about monster mating? Imposible!
You should do Purple dragons. Have both in one video. Both the Red + Blue = Purple version, and the underdark Deep version.
That was an amazing video.
Could you do some famous myths surrounding famous dragons in D&D? Like, are there any similar to Smaug?
this is the first I've heard this one, cool :)
