    Lev is never getting out of the iceberg. Asmo is never going to allow it. (Except for the every hundred years staff meeting.)

    Imagine exploring an ice cave in the middle of nowhere and the first thing you see after striking up your torch is a set of washboard abs and tight leather pants...

      I mean it would be very fitting for him xD

    I personally subscribe to the idea that Levistus and asmodeus are still bffs and asmodeus respected him for doing both his daughter and concort infact he knew all along and so Levistus prison is a blessing and he really makes everyone think he is trapped in ice when really he can get out at anytime and go back into the ice and anytime people see him outside the ice they forget because Levistus uses the water of the Styx to make them forget also I also subscribe to the idea that glassa has a split personality one loves Levistus and the other hates him

    I truly hope that you can make your way around to the other Lords of the Nine. Particularly Dispater and Glasya. My campaign being influenced by their machinations related to Levistus.

    I just wanted to comment to say thank you! Your video gave me the inspiration I needed for my Strixhaven character - Hanyuu - who is a Tiefling warlock of Levistus, who protected her when her clan was massacred, with the intent of using her to free him unbeknownst to her. So Hanyuu applied for Strixhaven in pursuit of knowledge. We just had our first session today and it was loads of fun! So thank you for the inspiration and I can’t wait to see future videos!! 😄

    The dashing fiend lay in ice
    Lord of the fifth comes with a price
    His icy cage leaves him immobilized
    But he is immortalized
    Now no one can kill him, or dethrone him
    The graz'zt of hell removing memory like a barber giving a trim

    I’m planning on using Levistus in my campaign. Watching everything I can find on him and you are the best I’ve seen! Having watched: Jorphdan, MGT, etc I think you’re in good company.
    The lord of stygia will be manipulating a plot against the ambitions of Tiamat, while also bringing the rod of seven parts within his grasp( possibly)
    Using Rise of the Drow as a jumping off point

    Excellent upload. Thanks for the inspiration. It's hard to find good lore content like this. And the art process in the backdrop is great. This will help with my tiefling Levistus bloodline bard. This all started cause I wanted ray of frost on a bard and was led to your video! Easy sub, man.

    Played a Oath of Vengance Ice Tiefling Paladin who served Levistus through Curse of Strahd, who was sent to work within Barovia to try to at least temporarily free souls for his Halls. Rime is still my favorite character to play to this day.

    Dang- looking forward to possibly explore some portions of the Hells in order to introduce this archdevil to my players.

    Levistus has been described very similar to Graz'zt ... It seems there is a decent chance that Levistus is the same being as Graz'zt since lore says Graz'zt may have once been an archdevil himself. Graz'zt is also the demon lord of excess pleasure and Levistus was imprisoned by Asmodeus for supposedly tempting his consort in one way or another.

    Wow. Great content, man ! Both drawing and text. I'm gonna binge watch the rest of your videos.
    I have a question, you maybe have the answer or some advice.
    Do you think Levistus could rebuy a warlock contract ? I'm writing a homebrew campaign in which Moloch just got overthroned by Glasya, and the Viceroy of Malbolge is the patron of a warlock PC (so he can not cast spells above 3rd level).
    Could Levistus override Moloch's contract (as he's neutralized by Glasya) and offer the warlock PC powers to take some kinda revenge on her ?
    I'm french by the way so "excuse my english" :)
    Thank you in advance for your answer

    • @itslegendlore
      @itslegendlore  Рік тому +1

      Thank you! :) I really appreciate it
      And as long as the warlock’s previous contract doesn’t include a clause that prevents any other devils to give the warlock powers of any kind Levistus would be free to do as he pleases :)
