  8. The Seven Heavens are less interesting than The Nine Hells for the same reason everyone prefers Dante's first book (Inferno) over the others: there is little to no conflict in the heavens, everyone is beautiful and perfect =P Nice video though. I find it confusing that Eladrin are now considered Fey.

  15. In Fizban's Treasury of Dragons there is the Elegy of the First World. It describes how the two primeval creatures Bahamut and Tiamat created the entire first world. Probably the Prime Matter plane itself. The other gods and their creation seize the first world. Eventually the first world splinters into all the other worlds of the Prime. Bahamut became the Angel of the Seven Heavens and Timat a captive of Avernus.
    This story has some similarities with the story of Jazirin and Ahriman. Two Lawful primeval beings who created the three cosmic truths and the Outland.

    I imagine both stories are real. Jazirin and Ahriman as creators of the Outer Plane and Bahamut and Tiamat as creators of the Prime. Now all that's missing are two Lawful primeval creatures who created the Inner Planes.
    The Lady of Pain is probably the Silent Guardian of these 6 primeval creatures.

  23. Elysium, please. In my homebrew world, the patron deity of the kingdom where my players are, has his own realm in Elysium and it would help greatly to my lore to know more about it. Love your content, I can't believe you read all those books from planescape. You are amazing and thank you for sharing!
