I think an interesting thing for a DM to treat something that might be locked away on the dinosaur-guarded plateau is to look to natural disasters: the part of nature that causes the animals themselves to flee in fear. So the power to create earthquakes could reside in the plateau, and the power to create hurricane-grade storms could be a secret inside Stormhold.

I don't know what the actual case is (or if it was ever even explored in any official material) but I would argue that an Awakened animal is for all intents and purposes an intelligent, sapient creature, and is therefore "judged" as a humanoid would be. An Awakened animal is smart enough to understand morality. As for losing their personhood, whether a person keeps their memories and/or personality in the afterlife is kind of ambivalent and dependent on circumstance in D&D.

I would, as a DM, rule that the Tabaxi would feel a mild compulsion to walk on all fours, and to give into that would cause them to transform gradually into some form of feline the longer they allow that instinct to Rule As for Yuan’ti, their serpentine features would become rapidly more pronounced (esp since Yuan’ti seem to tend toward chaos) until they would progress to an End-Stage Yuan’ti Anathema. Then, they may begin to shrink and diminish in form until they resemble a particularly large serpent This would only be if the players were to give in to their ‘nature’

The Beastlands would be the perfect setting for a wholesome "My pet died too early :( and now we risk life and limb to bring him back for cuddles!" type adventure, and now I have all I need to make it a reality. Fantastic work, MrRhexx, as always. Your videos have absolutely legendary commentary.

One thing that gets floated around in Planescape is that the Outer Planes have lives and wills of their own. The Beastlands more so than most, as you might guess. That plane doesn't take kindly to the desecration of nature and the mere presence of such beings would do that. On the other hand, the Planes of Conflict guide also described an angel and devil who fell in love and holed up in a cave there posing as dragons, so it can go either way as you like.

A plateau full of dinosaurs? I think I read that book

I just noticed how much Magic: the gathering art you use and i'm not complaining

Welp, if my party's barbarian dies, I know where she's going. She was raised by bears, lmao.

Monster Hunter heaven sounds terrifying for anyone who wasn't like that in life.

Basically the Beastland is the Hipster Heaven that Beastmaster Rangers who think Arborea is too civilized go to when they die and nobody else.

0_0 Definitely my favorite plane so far, thanks for letting me know about it.

The Forbidden Plateau was created by Ubtao, the creator and patron god of Chult. He made the realm for his favorite children, dinosaurs, and on occasion will spend time there as a giant tyrannosaurus rex - twice the size of any mortal dinosaur to exist - in order to escape the pesterings of his mortal petitioners. It's also "home" to the dwarven god Thard Harr, Lord of the Deep Jungle and protector of the wild dwarves. He is Ubtao's only ally, and Ubtao was given exclusive domain over the humans of Chult by the Faerunian pantheon. They made an agreement which tasked him with guarding the Peaks of Flame, where Dendar the Night Serpent was imprisoned, anticipating the day she emerges to destroy Toril - devouring the fears and nightmares of everyone alive and eventually, the sun itself. Much of this is covered in _Powers & Pantheons_ (Eric L. Boyd, 1997; ISBN 978-0786906574).

You may be becoming a star, be careful

One things I'm curious about, what happen of Wild shape or beast flavored spell Does horn grow when you use bull strengh? Have a chance to turn feral when wild shape or feel the instinct of the animal you can turn to when you're in your "human" form as a druid ? If only being there make you feel more alive, that must be overwelming :O

Thanks Mr. Rhexx

It bugs me so much that we have sll this important and interesting lore about the outerplanes but we don't have much info about them that is updated for 5E. We need a good outerplane book for dnd5e like a huge ass lore book.

This!! Thank you!! This was the only outer plane I couldn't find a decent lore video on

Your cat is adorable and I hope she is feeling better. How appropriate to feature her in this video.

Thank you for the video.

Finally, after all this lawful planes, the Beastlands where the wild things are 🥸 Yea I see miself out

Talk about timing… I had to say goodbye to my best friend of 12 years on Monday. :( He’s in a far better place now. At peace. Maybe he’ll catch that rabbit he dreamed about.

Some of the most amazing lore and depths are found in Planescape. Beastlands sound so cool.

OMG Literally the first few minutes of your video gave me a wonderful adventure arc idea! Imagine that all the collective souls of Sylgar, Xanathar's prized and beloved goldfish, have gathered together in The Beastlands. Having been beloved so much by a Beholden changed them somehow, granting them collective abilities, including but not limited to, astral speech projection. In a desperate attempt to reach out to their former master in a desperate attempt to be by his side again, they unknowingly cause a huge amount of stress in the city of Waterdeep. There the Guild of Xanathar would hear of this phenomenon and gather an adventuring team of their guild members to search out and stop the source of this otherworldly threat, before news reachs Xanathar and destroying a long plot to keep the dangerous Crimeboss happy and docile

Thank you for the amazing content

This video was so awesome I wouldn't guess the beast heaven were so cool. Want to play an adventure on this

I really enjoy when ambiguity is built into the lore with things like the nature of the mortai. Yes, the evidence presented points toward the 3rd answer being the "correct" one, but there's still room left for the players to discover an alternate answer that feeds directly into their game's story. I also feel that there should be some questions that no one knows the answers to in the setting; not even the gods.

I loved the video. Thank you very much. :D

I didn't know about the poll, but this was the plane I wanted you to cover next, so... neat.

31:20- kinda losing it at the idea that summoning spells are now spells of “there’s a beast here, now”

Awesome!!!

Love this content. Bring on more planar lore, please!

rhexx really crushed that commercial X-)

The way you said, plateau was hilarious lol

Oh my gods. You just gave me a idea for a all dogs go to heaven game.

At least now we know Mufasa went to a better place
