Domestic animals most often end up in the 7 Hevens of Mount Celestria, while wild animals tend to go to the Unspoiled Wilderness of the Beastlands. So yes. Dogs do go to heaven.

If my dog isn't in the heaven that I'm in, I don't want to go.

Maybe a beast master could go into the beast lands to recover them after they have died. That could be a fun adventure to run and would make sure they value there companion more

I was actually thinking about this. The Revised Ranger (Unearthed Arcana) beast master summons their beast companion with a ritual so it would make a lot of sense if the companion came from the Beastlands. There could be an interesting quest to visit the homelands of the companion to fulfill a deeper bond etc.

I remember reading that Mt. Olympus is in Arborea, and that the mountain has a path to Hades, though I don't know how that would work. It would be cool if a party could only make it to Elysium, then took Oceanus to Arborea, scaled down to Hades to save a few souls before making it back home.

In 3.5, the Beastlands were the home of the mortal Outsider race known as Wildren, which were the descendants of dwarf petitioners (yeah, that makes sense) that have become very badger-like in their time on the plane, and especially their home on Karasuthra. Also, consider playing a talking animal from the Beastlands if you want to incorporate them! It's the perfect chance to play a Narnia-esque character!

I'm surprised no mention of Olympus. Before Arborea was called Arborea in Planescape, it was Olympus; and even in Planescape, the Elven Pantheon still split the plane with the Greek Gods (hence the Bacchae and Satyrs and the like being there). 3rd edition though pushed the "real world" mythological pantheons out of the Great Wheel cosmology for the most part.

It's also a highly morphic and potentially non Euclidean world as well as an infinite plane. It's prime real estate for gods and I personally always imagined that there were many more pantheons so far separated by distance and obscure spatial geometries that they'd never even interact or know about one another.

After extensive research it's has come to my attention that good aligned lycanthropes stay in their hybrid form not the animal form or human form well in the Beast lands

Seems like the Feywild really steps on the toes of these planes.

I wish Arborea had a more iconic race. Chaotic evil Abyss? Demons! Lawful evil Hell? Devils! Lawful good Celestia? Angels! ...I mean, Archons! Chaotic good Arborea...? Eh... Bacchae? Not versatile enough. Eladrin? They're just elves! (Sometimes fairies.) Angels? You can find those anywhere! Just seems a little imbalanced.

Perhaps they could be Divine Elves. At least the DMG states that the elves in Arborea are considered Celestials. So now we should just come up with a unique name for a divine elf, and that could be the characteristic race.

There's the Asura, Chaotic Good celestials who serve as messangers across the upper-planes, though they're not tied to Arborea.

Stronmaus, Chaotic(Neutral) Good Greater God of Storm and Cloud Giants lives in the Beastlands. He is a fairly major power. Also from the Forgotten Realms deities, there is Milil, god of bards and music; trying to think off the top of my head but those are two that come to mind.

In the 3.0 / 3.5 edition of D&D, specifically in the Epic Level Handbook, there was a template called Paragon. It had a +18 level adjustment because it is so powerful. If one wanted to make stats for one of The Beast Lords, you could first scale them up one or more size categories, and then add that template to make a TRULY dangerous animal.

The perfect personification of an animal? You be meaning de loa my bruda

Thank you so much for another great video ♥ The only thing to add is probably, that the mentioned Grove of Unicorns is home to both Elhonna and Mielikki - intermediate, benevolent goddesses of nature and forest (but I guess you didn't mention them because otherwise, you'd have to name another hundred deities haha)

I’m dreaming of various plot hooks in order to get PCs to go to all of these different planes :D

Just wanted to let you know Bacchae is pronounced Bock-kigh, like the composer Bach. It would be so cool to build a campaign around encounters with the Bacchae! In earth mythology (not sure about D&D!) the Bacchae were worshipers of the greek/Roman God Bacchus. While he eventually became a party god, he originated as a god of madness with strong ties to death and rebirth. Over the centuries he developed a trickster persona and was eventually fully transformed into a god of celebrations and wine by Alexander the Great. Theres a play by Euripides called "The Bacchae" that describes the worshipers in their chaotic and murder-y form. It's truly terrifying, and you should read it!

Jorphdan With the going rate of royalty payments? $50 minimum per hour from the author's pocket may not sound like a lot but with earning 30% from the publisher for each sell made. May not sound like much but it adds up the more audio books you create. Independent authors and narrators are just trying to get their names and stories out there plus build themselves a resume.

i'm working on a character that has received a vision of the elven heaven and is seeking out adventure before the meloncholy memory of a former eternity in heaven takes his motivation with age.

unicorns break the mold in two ways. they are also celestials, so perhaps not even beasts.

Bachi is probably pronounced back I because Bachus is the greek god of indulgence in drink food and making merry.

Was the fountain the one in front of the Rivera in lake Geneva?

Arborea also has the realm of Mount Olympus. This is where the Greek gods love, also, same layer as the Elven pantheon. When was it changed to Elysium?

Mitharder could be the original home of the Leshay.... titans in their own right.

That sounds more likely to be the Beastlands. A land populated only by sentient animals.

Dinosaurs seem like they would unbalance the Beastlands unless they were confined to a particular area or there were giant versions of normal animals such as in Princess Mononoke. Also, would be awkward speaking to a talking T-Rex since all animals talk in the Beastlands. It would be best if they were on their own isle somewhere in Brux.
