Hello everybody Jorphdan here the PH is silent.
The next planes to discuss are Ysgard and Limbo.
I have no idea how to correctly pronounce Ysgard.
I'm assuming Ysgard…
I did search the internet looking for a pronunciation guide, but came up with nothing.
If you know how to pronounce it let me know in the comments below.
Brush off your International Phonetic Alphabet skills.
So Ysgard is a Chaotic Good/Neutral plane.
So really chaotic and 50/50 Good and Neutral.
It's interesting, Ysgard is one these planes right on the cusp of one alignment or another.
Arcadia was like this too, Super lawful but good and neutral at the same time.
Ysgard is the a place of heroes and glories.
It is where wars rage and valor is proved.
It is the battleground of eternity.
Ysgard has dark caverns, soaring mountains, and deep fjords.
A biting wind always blows at a hero's back.
It has seasons that reach exhausting extremes, harsh winters and scorching summers.
Ysgard is home of all the slain heroes who wage eternal battle on the fields of glory.
When a hero falls in Ysgard they rise again the next morning to continue their eternal war
I imagine all those barbarians and fighters, that get their glory and honor on the battlefield
wind up here.
Ya know Klingons..
Ysgard is probably just Stovokor.
Kingdoms of giants, humans, dwarves, gnomes and other beings are present in Ysgard.
Heroes come and test their might against the plane itself but also dragons and other creatures
that reside here as a test of might.
Ysgard is a series of floating islands or continents that floats atop immense rivers
of earth, flowing forever through an endless sky.
Fire rages under each earth river, giving off a reddish glow on the top.
Large earthquakes can occur when chunks of earth on these rivers collide with one another,
sometimes spawning new mountain ranges.
The 3.5 book says that some Greyhawk deities exist here, Kord the god of Strength and Olidammara
the patron of thieves reside in Ysgard.
The 2nd edition manual of the planes said that the Norse Pantheon of gods have a place
in Ysgard too, but in 2nd edition this plane was known as Gladsheim.
Same place though, shifting rivers of earth, three layer plane, you get the idea.
Speaking of the layers, there are three!
Ysgard the top layer, Muspelheim the second layer and Nidavellir the third layer.
Ysgard floats in the sky above the churning earth rivers.
It is the most well known and well traveled of the three layers.
It's dotted with dozens of huge halls, smoking battlefields, and hilly terrain leading to
cold seas.
The middle layer Muspelheim is made up of those earth rivers.
Some continent sized or larger.
The ground smokes and burns and is known as the Land of Fire.
It's hot here, and Fire Giants make their home on this layer.
The ground eventually rolls toward some fiery mountains known as the Serpent Spine.
This is where the majority of the Fire Giants live, building barricades and watch towers
to defend their territory from rival clans.
The third layer Nidavellir is under the earth.
It's a chaotic array of tunnels that open into large caverns where numerous dwarves live
It's warm here, heated by hot springs and geysers.
Underground forests grow here with strange wood that needs no sun, only heat to grow.
Caverns of clear quartz and precious minerals are very common.
There are Dwarven and Gnome kingdoms here and most of the layer's inhabitants are
mortal but a some petitioners live here as well.
Really this third layer is a giant weapon and armor building factory.
The Dwarves and Gnomes are constantly crafting hoping to advance their smithing, runecrafting,
and magic.
Strange enough the Drow are also here, underground.
Although not as evil as their Material Plane cousins they mostly want to be left alone,
but occasional fights break out with the other races.
Limbo!
The Chaotic Neutral realm of Limbo!
This place is interesting.
Known as the Ever-Changing Chaos of Limbo it is where everything, and nothing, is possible.
It is where raw chaos seethes and where the elements come to die.
Limbo is filled with this magical Miasma.
Which can form into any element, or even a structure.
It's a soup of impermanent matter and energy.
Stone melts into water that freezes into metal, then turns into diamond that burns up into
smokes that becomes snow.
And on and on in endless unpredictable change.
It is where everything, and nothing, is possible.
It's where raw chaos lives eternal.
Landscapes similar to ones found on the material plane drift through the miasma: bits of forest,
meadow, a ruined castle, or a small island.
There is no gravity in Limbo, but a character can drift through the space merely by thinking it.
There are no layers here, or if they are they are continually being created and destroyed
forever.
However despite no layers there are three kinds of terrain in Limbo.
Uncontrolled raw areas, controlled areas, and stabilized areas.
Sentient creatures can exert their will upon Limbo and shape, or control the ever changing
chaos.
They can force a localized calming influence.
Sometimes though there is no control whatsoever, these areas are known as Raw Limbo.
Where everything is chaos in its pure state, no rhyme or reason.
The elements and terrain change at random.
Controlled Limbo is another story.
Controlling a raw area of Limbo is an exercise of the mind.
A character must make a Wisdom check to establish control over a raw section of Limbo.
If he or she succeeds a player has established control over the area and can reshape it as
they desire.
The favorite of adventurers is a chunk of earth with a pocket of atmosphere containing
breathable air.
The area remains under control as long as the controller holds it.
No subsequent checks are necessary.
However another creature can wrestle control of the area from them.
If more than one creature successfully gains control of an area at the same time, control
goes to the contender with the highest intelligence.
Same rules apply if two controlled areas drift and merge together.
The creature with the highest intelligence remains in control.
What happens if two creatures have the same intelligence?
Couldn't find any information on that, so I'd assume you could have an INT ability
contest between the two.
Finally Stabilized Limbo is a section created by a creature with high wisdom, like twenty
or higher.
It is the center of a controlled section of Limbo, and is basically more stable than that
For lack of a better term.
Several industrious creatures could bring bits of stabilized earth together and use
them as the foundation for more permanent structures.
Especially if tended by guardians.
The Slaadi and Githzerai are common inhabitants of Limbo.
The Slaadi have been native to Limbo since time began with the githzerai arriving later.
They came seeing a plane available for conquer, a challenge to their indomitable spirits.
The Slaadi control limbo just like travelers do but seem to have an uncanny sense of it.
They don't lose control if they're unconscious and the area of control surrounds the slaad
tightly.
To view a slaad traverse through limbo would be curious sight as it shapes the elements
so close to it's body it appears to travel through fireballs and molten rock without
issue.
They range in gangs from two to five and hunt the drifts of chaos for food.
The primordial home of the slaadi is the spawning stone.
Which the slaad return to for their mating season.
The Githzerai congregate in cities and monasteries.
They learn how to be a deadly fighters or spellcasters in the city and follow the way
of the monk in their monasteries.
Their buildings do not reflect the use of gravity, so it's not uncommon for walls
or stairs to be missing from certain structures.
The Githzerai and the Githyanki were once one race but a civil war started between them.
Dividing the race in two and putting them each on a separate path.
The Githyanki typically live in the Astral Sea with the Githzerai living in Limbo.
And that's it for today.
Web DM, another great DnD channel, did a really great video on Slaadi and how weird they are, you should check it out.
Next week, since I've already covered the Abyss, with be Pandemonium and Carceri.
Stay tuned!
As always thanks for watching and I'll see you next Wednesday.
