This series about Demons is so perfect for me. I'm running a campaign centered around Demogorgon and these videos have helped immensely.
Same here! 5e savage tide
Very similar to me! My level 16 group is a few sessions away from facing the Demogorgon. The campaign is focused around an ancient portal all the major demon lord's are competing for control of. Demogorgon came out on top but the group is about to awaken A solar who sealed the Portal the first time.
It is perfect for out of the abyss campaign!
@@sangheilijedi Same campaign in 3.5e here.👍
Same here I've got a campaign based around the idea that pale night made a demiplane tethered to the abyss that before it could be fully corrupted by the abyss was populated by The Lady of pain and wanderers from the infinite staircase. At this point there is one continent populated by humanoids and creatures like any other material relm if that's really what it was. Now pale night with aide from baphomet and zuggotmoy are attempting to rein this run away demiplane back under demonic controle while the gods, brought here by there followers try and wretch away one of the last remaining havens in a multiverse that's seen every other material relm swallowed by the abyss.
Wizards: *refuses to release stats on dragon materials*
MrRhexx: "Fine, i'll do it myself!"
Might be in Fizban's though, but yeah, this is amazing still :D
the reason is because dragons don't have "materials" whatever you harvest from a dragon is depending on your DM. DND isn't monster hunter after all and there isn't a selection of things you can get from every creature. especially since fighting a creature usually destroys those materials
@@joedatius As far as it goes with DnD, has a ton of variety of adventures and stories, like dungeon exploring, to participate in wars and sieges, even quest for relics and forgotten spells, there is no reason for monster hunting not be there, as there is a lot of monster you can fight in an adventure, even if they are dangerous
Let's be real. MrHexx is the real lore master
TSR was far more forthcoming on this.
And dragons DO have materials. Their whole body. You can harvest every shred of their body that you didn't slash/pierce to infinity and back. In fact, I know older editions even specified exactly how much damage you could do with slash/pierce weapons before ruining the dragon's scales too badly to make armor from it etc., Anything that you didn't destroy in combat is there for the taking... it's a corpse not a mystery treasure chest.
Obyriths are the most interesting thing about the Abyss, a pity they are buried behind all other lore in hell and more common and newer demons.
It took a while, but we eventually got some stuff on them in both 3rd edition (in Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss) and in 4th edition (in The Plane Below - Secrets of the Elemental Chaos), it wasn't much mind you, but that is what is required for the Obyriths to be believable ancient horrors that feel like they would be right at home in Lovecraft's Mythos. Of course, it helps that one of them is literally from the Mythos (that being Dagon).
But what we got was quite enough for me to think that Pale Night was clearly the coolest of them. When you encounter her, she looks like a beautiful lady of indeterminable race, veiled only in semi-transparent cloth and mists. However, should you manage to catch a glimpse of her true form if the veils part, well, you'd better have a really good will save. If you succeed, you are rendered blind and your brain deletes what you saw from your memory. If you fail.... Well, time to roll up a new character, because your character is now incurably insane of the gibbering fool variety. And when I say incurable, I mean it. Not even godly intervention or the most powerful wish spell will restore the character, their mind is *gone*.
Loved the Berserk shoutout at 9:42. It fits perfectly, so much so that if I hadn't known Berserk first, I might have not recognized the art wasn't from D&D. Beautiful art, Miura. Rest in peace.
Berserk is like bromine: It leaks out of nearly any container its placed in and leaves traces on the surfaces around it.
Glad someone else noticed that too!
I have a shirt with that artwork on the back of it. It's not officially licensed but it's still pretty 👌
Rest in peace
Glad I wasn't the only one to take note of it.
10:00 that’s Berserk’ Eclipse! Whole different abyss right there.
Anyone else having Vietnam flashbacks
Well, it is now my head canon that every time someone gets isekaied to fend off a demon lord and spends 2 seasons *not fighting the demon lord,* that their world gets overrun by the overid and joins the abyss.
Just so your head Canon is top quality: Obyrith not overid
I actually had a vague idea for an isekai where something like that actually happens.
Well, maybe not full 'lose entire world to demonic invasion', but still where putting off the main story too long while sidequesting has consequences.
You realize that would probably be about as foolish as playing BotW and attempting to fight Ganon with just a Stick and a Wooden Shield.
I mean sure you COULD do it, but you're gonna need more heros than just the one....
@@chillyavian7718 fan service gonna fan service. Ain't an excuse for it, but it sells unfortunately. And I generally don't take issue with it as long as it's relevant to the plot in some regard, but that's very rarely the case now isnt it?
Unless it's a Hentai of course. In which case its ALWAYS relevant to the plot.
It's actually true. It is said in Mordekainen's Tome of Foes that abyssal influence corrupts material plane. If a portal to Abyss is open too long, territory around it will change to a landscape closer to abyssal, and more tears in reality will spawn until the whole world become a new layer of the Abyss.
One of my friends asked me if I wanted to join a DnD session because I’ve never played and became hella confused how I know so much lore without having ever played.
Thank you mister Rhexx
Video games and anime
Sweet, another video from this glorious channel.
As a DM your deep dives have been invaluable 👍
Many thanks.
I want your book so bad but I'm poor. I'm. Playing a warforged who was made by an elf who fell in love with a dragon. But the dragon was killed and turned Into a monsterous draco lich, under the control of a powerful necromancer. Now Im on a quest to avenge my father and free mother's soul.
@@chillcannongames5758 looks like u got your hands full
Impeccable timing, perfect for the abyss themed campaign I’m running 👌
Im gonna send it to my dm is gonna go crazy
He always makes a video on whatever I'm planning do to for my campaign.
Saaaaame
My BBEG is trapped in an unbreakable prison locked in time and space in the abyss. The spell casted however was imperfect and the first cracks start to show in the prison. It is a race against time before it escapes and wreaks havoc on the multiverse...
The Obyrith are clearly a Lovecraft influence of the Great Old Ones, especially Dagon which HPL used directly, and has mythos references to ancient Syria, and also in the bible. Same with Pazuzu, who has mythology roots from the Mesopotamian cultures.
But of all the Obyrith , it's Pale Night that creeps me out the most, because of the threatening ambiguity. You just know that if you ever got a peek under that bedsheet she goes around in, that you'll be rendered a permanent asylum resident from the sight of her sheer horrifying beauty...assuming that you even survive it.
The abyss is likely the most written about outer plane. I chalk this up to human nature and scary things being like moths to a flame. There's even a tavern in sigil with many alu-fiend and cambion workers that specializes in selling abyssal "tours" where rich patrons can buy a taste (a very tiny sip) of the abyss. They leave with tales of the (manufactured) horror they saw. Occasionally one or two get dragged off but too many would be bad for business so most make it back relatively safely... all carrying a new seed of evil in their minds to where ever their home worlds are. There they produce things like squid games to try and recreate that abyssal feelings.
Truly a beautiful and majestic plane 😍. If there's something in this universe that you wish would tear your head off, spit down your throat and use your corpse as an object... its there and your not thinking grand enough!
I have been waiting for this planar series to return. I am SO ready to delve into the outer planes... and not just because I'm attempting to reimagine a Planescape adventure into 5th edition, but also because MrRhexx, Greater God of Lore, Passion, and Secrets, has decided to gather all this information into convenient and amazingly made videos.
Love your work man. I really do. The Planes of D&D have always drawn my imagination, and to have you doing a video series on them is amazing! keep it up!
Yes. I love the planer series as well. I'm in kind of a planeswalker type of campaign atm and it's great. These planar vids are Very good for that campaign.
Whenever I'm feeling uninspired about the games I'm running your vids always get me hyped again.
As someone running a campaign centred around Abyss lore, these videos are so useful! Even if I don't use them exactly, I almost always use them as a jumping off point.
"The most inhospitable place in the entirety of the multiverse."
Limbo: I see how it is... -3-
Negative Energy plane:Hey! Get in line!
Far Realm:
Perfect for my friend that is starting her DMing debut next week and will have a small adventure in the Abyss.
This is perfect for the story arc of one of my players, and I'm glad one of my aesthetic choices for the plane of Androlynne (a black hole instead of a sun) actually has some lore significance now
I've been a DM for 10 years now, just wanted you to know you and AJ Pickett are my bread and butter to steer me through the ever changing tide of lore Wizards of the Coast release. Your videos have kept me sane in trying times and taught me whole new techniques for immersing my players in a truly open, free-flowing world that my players can explore and impact with other characters inhabiting the same world bearing witness to those who came before both good and evil.
I love these videos on eldritch horrors. I think I fell in love with Aboleths when I did my video on them haha
Picked up the PDF, and there's so much fun stuff in it. The Great Wyrm patron is extremely overpowered though, and a fair few things could probably stand some playtesting and revision.
Love that Draconic Warlock patron! Definitely gonna pick up that pdf.
15:46 I almost laughed my inside out when I misheard it as "When you're not with her, you're a gangster"😂🤣
I heard that too! 😂
Everything about this lore dump was so well put together - this is absolutely up in my top favourites of all your videos! I've loved watching this channel grow
Great video man, I love the Abyss so much. Pretty much all my characters know SOMETHING about demons. Literally the most interesting lore in my opinion. You rock Mr. Rhexx. A group of my friends wanted more lore for the Abyss, so I now have more to show them.
You are amazing at turning all this lore into a story that grips the mind and makes me want to give my players the rod of law or an amulet of the planes
I would love to see a series on the Feywild, as it and it's denizens seem pretty small and weak in the cosmological order, it's always perplexed me how they were never destroyed or taken over.
I think that just has to do with cosmic placement. Both the Feywild and Shadowfell are inner planes, and thus don't have a strong/lasting connection to the Outer Planes. I could be wrong but that's my thoughts on it.
Closed captions turn this into a tale about interdimensional ovaries of pure evil.
Omg, that PDF looks incredible. Deeeefinitely picking one up.
Just wanted to say thank you specifically for this video, as it inspired the dying creative spark in my mind, and I have begun working on a new campaign. Hoping I can use the knowledge you've given to it's fullest potential.
Instantly bought the digital content, it not only completly fits my D&D Campaign but it is also made by my favourite D&D youtuber. Thanks for all the content!
Absolute best channel to get D&D lore. You make every word sound extremely exciting.
dude your dragon hoard book is on my list of 3rd party supplements. Love your work I appreciate all the time and work you put into this stuff!
i just discovered your channel two days ago and have been binging on it every since! thanks for what you put out here :)
Aaaahhh you're such a great story teller my dude. I use your vids as a resource for a lot of my campaigning, just incredible.
Thank you. Truly.
Thank you so much for the dragon harvesting book. My party is diving into Rise of Tiamat and they will definitely be trying to snag trophies and valuables off these terrors of the skies!
Love your work and wish you the best!
bought the book before even getting you introduction of it, i just trust you a lot when it comes to my favorite legendary beast thta i dont need info on a book based on them, just finished ready before coming back to the vid, its great thanks a lot
I swear I'd love to be able to campaign around Pale Night. There's just so much there to work with.
I started DMing a campaign for some newer players. One of them picked a warlock, and randomly picked the Pale Night off a list of demons to be his patron.
I couldn't be happier to delve into all the lore and figure out something fun to work with him on throughout the campaign.
Awesome! I simple thumbs up doesn't convey how awesome this video is and how much I enjoyed it. Thank you!
The glorious return of the realms series!
The Abyss has always been the most intriguing of all the lower planes to me. I love the lore surrounding the shard of evil and how the abyss never ends.
I am homebrewer through and through, but your videos about deeper lore of DnD are so inspiring!
Awesome Video and great quality! Always someone I can look to for great informational D&D videos!
Welp, now i need your book. I been running a dragon hunting groups this will help with my stuff. Thank you so much.
Also been a follower for along time and love the channels. Thank you for all the lore and other items that will help me build my games better :D
Awesome! This is the video I've been waiting for.
I think Abyss is one of the most intriguing of the planes as they are
Awesome content! Please keep exploring the multiverse with these videos!
I love Tharizdun lore and i love that u touch that aspecto of lore of him. Thank u dude!!! ❤️
this is probably one of your best videos, great job
Yes!!! I’ve been checking this channel every few hours waiting for the new vid
Been following your research for years. Cool to see you putting your knowledge in books.
Thank you for some good Dragon stuff in the book! I’ve always wanted good info for dragon harvesting and using a slain dragon. Fighting and killing it is one thing. Figuring out what to DO with it after is better.
Immediately got the PDF! It's awesome! I am really loving the rules for dragon parts as one of my campaigns heavily features dragons. And in any campaign I play or run if the players down a dragon the first thing they want to do is turn it into weapons and armor.
Yo I'm on it rhexx. I've been watching you for a long while ever since you where doing Skyrim stuff. Can't wait to read all the things in this.
So this video has to be the best explanatory video about the Abyss on the web. The explanation of the Shard of Evil is entirely on point. Well done
I know that this is one year video, but thanks to the information that you bring me here, I was inspired to make a D&D campaign based on the Abyss in my own Homebrew setting, taking topics like the Dawn War, or even Tharizdun himself, and the villain of the plot that I choose is the most amazing thing, I just know that my players will love it, thank you Mister Rex, for all your efforts
YESS! New MrRhexx!
Long-time fan, man.
I tend to always listen to these while in bed, suffice to say they tend to keep me up because they’re just so interesting :p
Just want to say Great video, and that k you for the PDF, I had a feeling wizard wasn't going to do it, but I'm glad you did.
This was a really good one thank you! I feel like I also have a deeper understanding as to the nature of Lolth and Tiamat as demons.
All of these demon videos are amazing, I'm running a modified OotA and this is great for fleshing it out.
Wow, this was jampacked full of content! Thank you so much!
A most gripping tale!
EXCELLENT Work Mr
Rex Sir! 👏👏👏👏👏
SWEET Vid!! And Thank You for that PDF. That thing looks like a must have.
Dragon Hoards looks AMAZING. I would love if you did this same thing with other themes such as the Abyss or maybe about Deities
That was awesome! And I'll definitely buy a copy of your Dragon Hoard off, in the coming days! I don't play D&D so much, these days, as I create Villian/Ally/Patron concepts, for some friends and aquatintances that do! My favorite beasties being Dragons, Demons, Devil's and Fae! Your videos, along with AJ's, have been a huge help! And are very enjoyable! I always look forward to them! And I hope that you enjoyed your week off, with a visit from family, if I recollect right? 😁
Another video. A blessing from The Lord! Another batch of info that I may but probably won't in tn the near future use in my campaign, but obtaining it will bring me great pleasure nontheless
What a start to the outer planes. Looking forward to the next one, although I doubt any of the rest have such an interesting story behind them.
I bought the PDF immediately can’t wait to use it in my campaigns! Thank you
Awesome video. This info helped give me ideas and things I should probably change about my homebrew demon lord that I'm creating.
Congrats yo and wow that book looks absolutely fantastic!!!
Wooooooooooooo!!!!! This video was great like all your others. Always a great lore master.
I bought the book and I L-O-V-E it, the golems Staff is just great, The way that you can reduce the cost if you have certain things, really make you think how to create it in a cool and descriptive way as a DM.
So thanks a lot!
I love your lore videos so much.
DnD is my favorite fantasy world.
Great video. You really tied all these disparate elements together into a single cohesive timeline. That's a huge project and I'm so impressed. I'm still confused by one thing though: How can there be infinite demons if they come from humanoid souls which are not an infinite source? I was under the impression that Demons were spawned from the Abyss itself.
Technically there are demons that are not Tana'ri yeah, though d&d doesn't really delve too deep into them. The word infinite is also probably a bit deceiving. A billion demons would look like an infinite number of demons to anyone, and then there's also the fact that the abyss might get new souls faster than it takes for ppl to kill the demons; i guess you could also technically call that infinite.
I'm pretty sure it's not actually infinite but more effectively so. There's no way to count them all since the layers are so factitious that they can absorb each other and end up splitting apart, and new ones can show up, so the number is always in flux. Also only some demons come from humanoid souls.
@@elegantoddity8609 Yes but Tanari are the majority of demons and it's literally only Chaotic Evil souls that fail to go to the realm of their chosen Deity for whatever reason.... That's going to be hardly any. Maybe the Shard of Pure Evil is stealing souls from countless other planes? Because otherwise I can't see why there would be any more Demons than Angels or Devils.
@@MrRhexx That's something I never really understood clearly, either. When a humanoid dies, doesn't their soul go to their chosen Deity? Devils get souls via contracts and corruption, but how do Demons get them?
@@TheHighestNoon Well not everyone in the dnd multiverse goes to a deity. Forgotten Realms setting has that stupid Wall of the Faithless for non believers but that doesn't apply to every world. In others you die and you go to the plane of most like alignment.
I think the tanar'ri are most numerous because souls are much more "fertile" than a plane of pure entropy. It has something to work with and there's a whole universe of them to work with. The obyriths also suffered from bad life choices which drastically reduced their numbers before they got genocides several times.
As for why demons outnumber everyone else, it's partially because they don't play by any rules. They don't bargain for souls, they straight up take them, dragging them off to the Abyss. Devils invade, demons infect. And good beings have a concern for free will that fiends don't share.
Great video as always, I will be looking forward for when and if you decide to make a video solely dedicated to Tharizdun.
Mr. Rhexx I'm buying that book as soon as I get off work! That subclass will fit in so well with how dragons came to be in my world!
DONE! Thank you MrRhexx I just bought myself a copy of the book. Thank you, and also another great video thank you.
Enjoying this series, there's a lot of lore to delve through here.
NICE!!! WELCOME BACK!! BACK TO FORM!!
Digging these lore vids, I'll be running a 3.5e campaign for my group soon, so I am binging d&d lore for inspiration
Brother all of your videos are gold! Love your work!
Bought your Dragon Hoard book! Thank you for your hard work on it!
Great video! Found lots of information about the Abyss in it. The only complaint I have is the lack of any information of the Loumara, I’ve barely heard them mentioned on UA-cam at all but they seem incredibly interesting.
I had to come back to this video to comment how amazing I thought you did on this video. Thank you for making it so bomb. Lots of inspiration to draw from here.
P.S. I'd be SO DOWN if you dedicated a video to Tharizdun after this.
Thanks for the lore and the new piece to my hoard! ^^
this video was enough to inspire a campaign in my mind
hope for another videos about the abyss
Ohhhhhhh, simply delightful. Well done xD
Love your book and ideas, irs funny the difference and dm style and thought process your dragon warlock turns into a half dragon while thought was to turn em into a powerful kobold
I'm definitely getting that PDF immediately
My favorite video so far!
Picked up the pdf. Looks like a perfect fit for the campaign I'm running that's about to go deep on Dragons
Just got it! I love all of the content in it!
Been waiting for this one!!!
I bought your pdf for my Campaign ☺️ I love the work you do and I hope the money helps you🙏
What the Don't Tell You: Dragon Hoards is fantastic man, thanks!
Hey would you be willing to do a Fey series next, or a least a video on the Feywild/Feydark? I remember it almost won the poll back when you did the Shadowfell, and had nearly the same amount of votes. I love how wild and unpredictable nature of the Fey/Feywild is, and love how crazy and unpredictable both themselves and their abilities are. Love your channel!
Love your Narations, Keep~up the good work & dont stop, Love it, Thankyou
I've been working on a Homebrew world for some time now and the BBEG is trapped in the abyss, the shard will definitely be appearing in my world as his true objective, thanks for the great video!
nice book bro, it looks interesting, gz on getting it ready to publish
My guy. Running two campaigns. First, demon lords trying to escape into Los Angeles. The second, dragon hunting. I could not have asked for anything more from you. You are my hero.
I just love your videos. It is always amazing, espacilly anything about planes. I just hope you are considering the feywilds for your content.
