    We actually know what happenend to his staff. It was used to create the Demonomicon of Iggwilv.
    In Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, it says this:
    "Destroying the Demonomicon. To destroy the book, six different demon lords must each tear out a sixth of the book’s pages. If this occurs, the pages reappear after 24 hours. Before all those hours pass, anyone who opens the book’s remaining binding is transported to a nascent layer of the Abyss that lies hidden within the book. At the heart of this deadly, semi-sentient domain lies a long-lost artifact, Fraz-Urb’luu’s Staff. If the staff is dragged from the pocket plane, the tome is reduced to a mundane and quite out-of-date copy of the Tome of Zyx, the work that served as the foundation for the Demonomicon. Once the staff emerges, the demon lord Fraz-Urb’luu instantly knows."

      Wait, why six? Didn’t the staff get divided into five parts, then shouldn’t a fifth of the book’s page be removed from a different Demon Lord? I mean it would make sense, wouldn’t it?

      @pepijnkooij2830 Před 2 lety +7

      @@dawsonhelf7922 well, the number of parts is not related to the staff, but rather to the number of volumes. In fact the Demonomicon contains various true names of demon lords, something they don't want to be revealed. Therefore, these demon lords all want to have this book destroyed. The staff to me seems more like a bonus hidden within the books.
      Also, there are rumours of a 7th volume, so maybe they actually need to destroy a seventh of all seven?

    I like the idea of a demon lord allowing mortals to think they are in control and pretending to be captured or controlled. You can well imagine the hubris of someone who thinks they can safely manipulate such a being. Feels like exactly the kind of thing a demon would do.

    This is one of my favorite D&D channels. I've binged just about everything from his Forgotten Realms playlist. He's direct and to the point. Sometimes we don't have like 40 minutes to discuss lore. Sometimes we just want the info while we work mundane jobs and then use our free time for other things.
    Seriously though, I learn more from Jorphdan's videos than other D&D videos.

    This guy was an ally of my PCs party in Out of the Abyss for almost 2 years in real time, before they realized that one of the big villains of the entire adventure was with them since Session 1. Worked out wonderfully when they had to face him at the ennd of the campaign and he treated them like old friends, while they were really scared of him and his tricks.

    I'd prefer to think a prince of deception would be more like Tzeentch; deceptions within deceptions and schemes within schemes. The only reason he would be caught would be because he wanted to be. Part of me wants to run an adventure set in Hollow Heart run a bit like Bloodborne, where they see the glorious deception but over time the they start to perceive the truth.
