Make sure to check out Stibbles! They ACTUALLY gave cats night vision: bit.ly/Stibbles
FINALLY
Still planning to do a video on each of The main deities in forgotten realms? Loved the one on Uthgar
Wait does the plane of water really have no surface?
Will you cover the Fugue Plane and how to travel to there alive?
But actually :p
cats don't really have dark vision. they can alter the size of their pupils so that even the slightest bit of light enters their eyes and they can see stuff. But if there is no light, they can't see stuff :p
Sorry I said this. Love your videos man! Looking forward for the next one :) they always help a great deal!
Finally. More forbidden knowledge to make my brain hurt.
Yep lol
Dammit. Confused brains taste the worst and barely have any good memories in them.
If you travel to the Far Realm, you'll be too mad to care.
@@voshadxgathic To the NPCs, ours IS the FAR REALM!
Be glad that he did not mention Far Realm.
Far Realm would make your brain dance Harlem Shake.
"A monk who truly realises there is no spoon", I love it.
Is that a reference to something?
@@DerpyLaron the matrix
So, the monk can fly.
Yes
I had to listen to him twice just to make sure I heard it right.
“In the Plane of Earth, gravity is subjective” AKA “Mom says it’s my turn to use the gravity”
Excellent! The Planes have always fascinated me. Look forward to the rest of the series.
When you expect to fly to other planes because they're called planes, but you actually ride a boat.
*…That flies.*
My homebrew world has an interesting crystal sphere, where from the inside it's actually a giant crystal sheet or disk floating at the edges of various solar systems as it drifts across the myriad worlds of the setting. So while in the setting their are magical FTL drives, true Spelljammer's are very rare
I've been obsessing about this stuff for a long time. In the end, people always underestimate how BIG 'infinite' is.
Well the ethereal plane has to be infinite as well otherwise the endless staircase wouldn’t be able to exist in a Demi plane, so then how do you get from the side of it where the material plane is to the side where the inner planes are? Is it only infinite in two directions or something?

I can't escape Scribble's! It hunts me down no matter what channel I go to!
my boi runesmith casting his net wide
Another one? Awesome. I just wanted to tell you that I have been watching your channel for a while now and I really like the content you make. Keep up the good work!
Ur the only guy who's sponsorings i watch coz they are all D&D related and so far, i'm yet to be dissapointed, but it's getting a bit expansive yo get everithing...
Yeah i have been very fortunate to get approached by D&D fans who have d&D related businesses. I think we might have a men's hair product spot 2 videos from now LOL but otherwise, we get some real fun stuff. Stibbles is incredible
@@MrRhexx I know plenty of bards that might need some hair products if they get hit with an ageing spell
@@MrRhexx little of topic, in the sponsor part, you said that theirs no way to tame a psudodragon, but is their not a varient rule to let them be familiars, not pact of chain , just normal familiars. i'm sure i've seem videos on it.
@@bleddynwolf8463 even in previous editions, when Familiars weren't summoned and yes you could have a Pseudodragon as familiar, it was clearly described that they couldn't really be tamed, they would stay extremely independent and would even abandon you if you tried too much.
So a campaign I've been thinking about making is one where the planes are being thrown out of balance, and the party is sent by AO to help get the planes back in balance and find out who's causing the inbalance. To help with the plane travel, I'm going to give them a modified dimension cube.
This is exactly the campaign concept I'm running 👌 it's been a blast
Pretty much our current setting in a game we've been running on and off for the past 14 years or so, save for AO.
We actually started as our own selves in our current material plane when the Negative Energy Plane bled into ours and zombies and other abominations happened. After narrowly escaping with our lives, we ended up finding a planar gate to another human-settled and soon-to-be-fused material plane - where we learned the teleportation ritual from a soon-to-be-traitor necromancer (who later returned as a lich) - in some weird underground somewhat interplanar dungeon-like complexes to escape and have been trying to save the other material planes (crystal spheres, if we're to use the correct terminology) ever since. We have even created demiplanes for thousands of planar refugees.
We have been investigating the phenomenon since then to figure out what causes the planar fusions but we're usually in a climate change type of situation where it's mostly only the affected planes that seem to care thus far, plus a plane of studious wizard researchers (aka scientists) who has a few experts on the case, among other fields of study... Other people always seem to have more immediate things to take care of and ignore the situation of the other planes as well as the existential threat of this imminent crisis, haha.
6:17 there's an ethereal monster called a meme? why have i not heard of this before?! lol
Your profile picture is very spiffing indeed.
maybe its a memetic agent
@@tamirhadad9891 What do you mean? What are you talking about? Where am I?Do I exist?
@@NA-AN You should try the SCP franchise it is awsome
@@tamirhadad9891 I already am an SCP fan. I was just trying to make a joke about memetic agents.
You know that you used Brazil to represent the plane of fire, right?
12:58
It's in 12:58, there is jokes Rio de Janeiro (the city in the image) being so hot that this type of thing happens
I absolutely love the concept of endless elemental planes that also are in contact with eachother.
To me that sounds like they are indeed infinite in some way, but only if you don't know the way. A journey without knowing the way (including the way being just a straight line) could take centuries before reaching the target, while someone who knows the way could reach it in mere days, depending on difficulty of terrain. That would make being randomly dumped on any plane a death sentence in most cases, tho.
I'd love to run a campaign through all the outer realms but finding decent maps for all of them is damn near impossible.
This is why you make them yourself
@@1estel1ch.42 easy for you to say. The good map making programs are expensive and, as i learned during a few free trials, i really suck at it. Besides that's way too much work.
Just play the last modron march
YESSS! I needed this. Bless you.
IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS SERIES
YES. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ONE OF MY FAVORITE TOPICS!
I can't wait to see more.
Rhexx finally getting some recognition in the DnD community on CZcams. Been here since the shadow of colosus era. Warns my heart to see My favourite CZcamsr rise up from nothing to +700k subs.
Honestly I respect the explanation of stibbles a whole lot, its obvious dispite the sponsor that rhexx really cares and is interested about the sponsor, going out of his way to explain things you care about is the best way to do a sponsor IMO so well done :)
Your info is amazing and unexplored by many others who cover d&d topics. As a DM, the subtle nuances of why things work the way they do in the lore gives me life. This unique way you present your info also really gets my gears turning for my settings and the interactions that occur within it. 👏🙏
Sweet this is great!!! Thanks for doing this MrRhexx
Yes! My favorite part of DnD. Please go into detail on this series man. I know you always do. I'm just excited 😆
"And dead gods that were throw here when they perished"
So like how Sonic perishes people by sending them to Minecraft
I’m so glad Jordan’s project is getting some good recognition by large dnd youtubers like yourself. it’s awesome to see since he loves this community so much
What project is that if you don't mind me asking?
@@abdoul5176 Scribble's book of pets/companions.
@@adfdasdfadfadsfareae Thanks, it's good when passion projects are recognized.
@@abdoul5176 it’s a great project and i was watching him when he pitched it to his channel and patreon. He loves dnd so much and i am happy to hear that he has all this support
@@jaredking5737 I just subbed to Jorphdan is that the guy?
You’ve been hit by
You’ve been struck by.
An outer plane
Does that mean your technicly dead, because your in the afterlife?

"Hells and heavens"

I love the cosmology of D&D. Thanks for the video.
Every plane? Mechanus time baybee!
(Also will the far realm be covered?)
Oh my, planar travel, my favorite
Blast from the past.
The codex was created by a CZcamsr named rune smith he’s also working on an inn codex
FINALLY LORE FOR THE FEYWILD
24:15 Right here this ‘ere basher outed himself for a prime when ‘e mentioned the birdcage.
This is amazing, absolutely great timing, I've just begun a personal writing project about a homebrew planar travel idea, and out of all times, you begin a series like that now. Thanks for this!
You know I’m too far in when I understood everything that was mentioned here... and I’m not sorry😂
I ran a 1 on 1 with my wife's wizard the night that you posted this video. I had her meet Elminster, who then took her to each plane, thus expanding her perspective. Your video would have been a great resource just a day sooner, but I'm tickled that you made it right when I planned that excursion!
Very nice timing! My players recently acquired a Cubic Gate and I am eager for them to make use of it. Your videos always are great informational primers and I make use of them for my players extensively!
Great video! I have a wizard from my old dm's campaign to act as an ascended being that travels the multiverse. He's on the Endless Journey - a selfimposed mission to record everything in the multiverse with his spellbook/journal - the Book of All.
Pfft.. child’s play, you don’t even know how rare and scattered lore on the Draedens is
No, but seriously, thanks for always being so comprehensive
I'm so excited for u to be covering this finally you're my favorite lore channel
Damn, monks seem kinda op in air and earth land.
In air plane, they can literally be Zaheer and just float around. In the earth plane, they have the best chance of defining gravity
I love the concept of living in an elemental plain so much! I think I can make a whole story about either realms or the inbetweens.
I've run a Planescape campaign for about 2-4 years (20-25 years ago).
Para elemental planes are where the basic elemental planes meet.
QUASI elemental planes are where the basic elemental planes meet one of the planes of energy (positive or negative).
That makes....
4 basic elemental planes
4 para elemental planes
8 quasi elemental planes (4 positive & 4 negative)
2 energy planes
And the optional elemental chaos
I can sense it. I can feel it getting closer. A video about my favourite plane, Mechanus, from my favourite D&D explaining CZcamsr, Mr. Rhexx. I'm ready.
I'm running a planescape campaign and I've been looking for videos like this! Thanks so much!
I've always been fascinated with the multiple planes and places in the d&d multiverse, but as you said, it's hard to get a good overview. Harder still is contradictory information and stories and hearsay however, you did a great job with this video and I'm looking forward to the whole series.
This is awesome, I just started a planescape adventure
I've always hated 5e's very specific material component for Planes Shift so I prefer to play it that the tuning fork must be crafted with 250 gold worth of platinum and the spell itself transports the group to the astral sea while the fork acts as a dowsing rod to find the portal to the plane you want to go to. Makes for some fun astral shenanigans.
Rhexx: Ironically the plane of earth is the least inhabitable inner plane
Plane of fire: Am I a joke to you?
The city of brass exists.
Super excited for this series, and as much as I enjoyed this one hearing another person mispronouncing Sigil's name makes my soul cry.
For reference in D&D the city of Sigil is pronounced as Sig-ill or Siggle not Si-jill like the standard pronunciation of the symbol.
The small lore there is on this difference of name is pretty interesting, and it's all based on an in-joke between the original writers.
Just leaving a comment to please the algorithm gods, great content dude 👏
YES THIS IS THE VIDEO SERIES I DIDN'T KNOW I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR
Bi-topia is my favorite plane. It's where I placed my hidden Goddess Nauladia, she's the goddess of the Nas potamii (angelic for: our descendants). She is the "first God" as celestials existed before mortals and potamii are the first mortal race born from celestial trapped on the prime by the hag. Their birth and her rise would create a gold rush of God hood and making mortal races. She ,herself, hides away caring for her one species and helping other gods with advice and enthusiasm for theirs. Bytopia itself folded on top of itself for her and is the hardest plane to reach for her and to protect the potamii which when die become angels and asuras.
I'll be honest you took a topic I never even wanted to look at because I thought it was impossible and too complex and made me interested and actually curious to explore these planes
You are awesome! I have been trying to put all this together for years and now I finally get it. Thank you so much!
I'm making a Warlock/Cultist who dreamt of all the doors in sigil open seeing the potential to go anywhere and learn anything but terrified that no matter what they would always be accessed too making them paranoid of all doors in the primematerial until they fulfill their mission of visiting sigil and finding out about one door that was locked.
Great Old One pact of course following the aesthetic of Cultist Simulator.
And now to make someone who grew up as a planewalker. There could be a lot of fun sidequests or oneshots with that
This is perfect timing for me. I've been working on writing some stories set in my own custom d&d world, and one of the characters is a sorceress whose greatest wish to be able to travel the planes. This info will definitely come in handy.
I can't wait for this series since as far as I know I know almost nothing from about 8 realm
OH MAN I'M SO STOKED ABOUT THIS SERIES. THANKS!
This is perfect timing! my party is just about to start traversing to the elemental planes!
Thanks MrRhexx!
In the campaign I'm running, the various planes that make up the balance of Good/Law/Evil/Chaos actually form a seal that prevents an Outer God, equal in power to Lovecraft's Azathoth, from awakening. The locations of the planes form an intricate keyhole-shape, with the Heavens above, Hells below, and an expanse in between called the Nethers.
The Abyssal Nether is equal to Forgotten Realms' Abyss, where feral, chaotic demons are imprisoned by the Nine Hells, whereas the Empyrean Nether leads to the Astral Emptyness (Intentional Spelling) and the only thing in it is the Throne of Creation, where the Overgod sits. Great Old Ones and Outer Gods float around in the Emptyness and can astral project forms of themselves into the Prime Material.
Theoretically, one could fly through one Nether to another via the Emptyness, but it would take all of infinity to do so. If you started flying from the bottom of the Abyss to fight God, himself, travelling at the speed of light, and you started flying when the universe first began to form, then by the time the Sun turned into a white dwarf and finally died, you would have only travelled 0.00001% of the total journey.
So the universe is kinda doughnut-shaped in that regard, because you can loop infinitely around the outside of the cosmic keyhole, but also travel inside-out of it like some 4D tesseract. The most powerful of entities can also jump between multiverses, and it is established in lore that someone tried to conquer it all before, only to fail because he landed in a universe where the laws of physics were different to his own, so he was stripped of all of his powers until he could learn the local laws of physics. Timeline wise, it was only 29 years ago, and the player characters live in the aftermath of his assault on the Prime Material Plane.
I decided to open my new Spelljammer campaing thanks to your videos! Very inspiring, thanks Rhexx
I doubt you’ll see this but you can’t know how well timed this is for me.
I’m running a campaign soon that involves traversing several of the planes
Excellent video per usual. I understand this was just a basic overview, but I was expecting you to mention the energy planes and the feywild while talking about the inner planes, and the infinite staircase while talking about the outers. Totally understand missing things here and there when discussing planescape though. I've been reading about them for a couple decades now and feel like I've just scratched the surface.
I was wondering when you would be doing the planes of DnD, seeing as they are just as important as the races, deities, and locations in it.
I've missed your D&D videos because I binged them all and I go back to watch some at times. Thank you for this!
Yay! The content I waited since I found this channel!
Thanx man! I finally have an idee of how the dnd universe works. I had certain planes confused with eachother
Before I knew about this stuff I made my own way to connect to every other D&D world and possible timeline (tbh I prefer my way and will be using it). Basically you have an origin world that has some caves that lead to a portal to a sanctum with a portal to every other D&D world with other planes existing as bridges. This origin world also is split in two one half being a testing ground of deities for spells, new races, and laws of nature. The other side is a normal D&D world. This world also has a connection to every deity from every D&D world with a more powerful deity ruling over all of them.
I see the elemental plane of water as that place where there is a sea beneath a sea(different levels of thickness) and the islands float on this borderline
I love your channel dude, since ive started watching about a year ago ive learned so much about the realms that I never knew and ive been playing D&D since I was 10.
One of the parts of D&D that has always fascinated me is finally being covered. Thank you.
This video series is off to a phenomenal start! Wonderful work.
This is how you know a game is old and has made and still makes an effort to put some more proverbial meat on it's bones, when you need a thirty minute video just to explain what's in the details of and/or how travelling to other dimensions and planes work, something that's usually explained in about a minute otherwise.
I cannot fcking thank how your pronunciation is amazing. For all of us non native speakers. I can fking understand almost everything you say and I find it simply great. Your job is amazing. Take me to the ethereal with you, Guardian of the Truth
What I wouldn’t give to play dnd with MrRhexx as my DM. It would be such an amazing experience to play with such a brilliant mind.
27:55 i just imagine a space horse and a mind flayer riding it going "WEEEEEEE!"
@17:26 I believe that you actually have travel to the fugue plane through the astral plane. In fact, I think that is one of the only ways to get there without well.... dying. Pretty sure Midnight (the girl who literally became Mystra, the goddess of magic) even did it in the Forgotten Realms "Avatar" trilogy but I read those books like 2 decades ago. So, I admit my memory is not reliable.
Thanks Rhexx for this incredible video !
I think I will change a few things in the Multiverse for my future campaigns, but it is cool anyway.
(for instance, make the Elemental planes really enormous, but not infinite, because they TOUCH each other. Same for the planes organized in layers - too much layers in the plane descriptions).
Sigil sounds like a really cool place, if I ever DM a game I might have the players go there as part of the main quest.
Dude this is perfect timing! I've just started a high level homebrew for my friends in a setting where they are basically fighting in a Arena that travels the planes like a spacejammer to new locations to fight interesting monsters and this info helps so much. I'm now seeking out those books and look forward to the next vid. Also my partner is an artist so i'll see if i can convince her to do some on the ethereal plane :D
Fun fact, in 1e there's a psionic power called Etherealness that lets one to function as if they're in the Ethereal Plane and even vibrate their molecules to travel to planes connected to the Ethereal Plane
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay another series of Rhexx vids to get excited about. I might have to support you on Patreon soon.
Ah yes, the plane of air. I like a good ol quote from hitch hikers guide to the galaxy for the concept of movement here "There is an art, or rather knack to flying. The knack lies in learning to throw yourself at the ground and miss" ~~ Arthur Dent
The Plogiston, also known as the Blind Eternities in MTG. and Since MTG and D&D are canon to each other now, well... Or maybe, just maybe, the blind eternities is an entirely separate transitory plane.
Another video so soon? You are spoiling us man lol! This type of lore videos are totally my gem. Really excited about this new series and hopefully it will clear a lot of questions i have about multiverse and the planes. Can't wait for the next one!
Amazing! I've always wanted to play a planeswalker in D&D, and now I have a better idea of how to go about it. I really appreciate the references as well. Thanks!
YES! I was hoping you would make videos about the other planes! I've always been interested in them, and the idea of traveling from one realm to another is the inspiration for a book I'm working on!
Thank you for this, i am currently doing a sphere traveling adventure that includes all the d&d worlds plus all the magic the gathering worlds. And your videos have helped me to explain how it works. This video in particular answered a question asked last session so thank you and please keep it up! Thank you for the inspiration.
There is one thing that doesnt fully make sense to me and would like explained if possible in future videos.
Based on what you presented (and the refference picutres), the planes (both inner and outer) are outside of the crystalspheres as if going through a different dimention, meaning it would be possible for example, travel from realmspace to lets say mechanus and from there into greyhawk or so on. The way I understood it so far is that each crystalphere has its on set of planes (again, both inner and outer) that might mirror or connect those from other crystalspheres.
The reason I thought of it that way is because some settings still have access to the planes (like the elemental planes or the outer planes), but they have a completely different set of deities that do not have any sort of contact with the common deities from others. For example, the deities in eberron are not in the material plane, yet you wont find them in the same outer planes as the ones in toril, unless I am misunderstanding something. Also while some deities manage to have presence in different settings, they seem to have a different level of power in said settings (examples being vecna and tyr).
Oh this will be a great series of videos! I’ve needed good lore dump on the planes since I’m new to D&D.
So, by traveling to the Deep Ethereal, Astral Sea or Elemental Planes, could you not skip the whole process of leaving ones crystal sphere, traveling the phlogiston and trying to enter another sphere?
The first game I ever DM’d became legendary when my friend used his pseudodragon to knock a Cyclops unconscious. Fun times ever since. Never underestimate them!
Adding to my dnd playlist on my channel.touch the ball and see everyones work
This looks like a very interesting series. I might aim to try to make a plane-jumping game for my next campaign based on these videos. Thanks for gathering the lore and the clear and concise way you explain it... It helps simplify things a bit and makes them a little more manageable.
This is one of my favourite subjects and I am really happy to see what you will add to this and it has come at an amazing time as I am about to start a plane jumper campaign
