The Most Romanceable God in D&D is a Lich 

Thanks for watching everyone! What wild, weird, or fascinating tale from D&D's history would you like to see next time?

So they had a goddess of undead that wasn't evil, and for her only inclusion in 5e they decided to make her evil? boo.

Well, you know what they say: Romance is dead.

*Me at the beginning:* “Oh, this is so cool! I love when they do unusual things with deities instead of sticking to the obvious dichotomies. A True Neutral love deity? A non-Evil god of undeath? And you can see how easily this could be bad for the mortals involved, because even a lesser deity has a different perspective on things. You could get so many interesting stories out of this! I want to play a Paladin of this god!” *Me by the end:* “…Oh, of course, because the most interesting thing you could possibly do with one of your few non-Evil gods of undeath is corrupt them. Obviously. That’s what people wanted, right? For this multiverse to become LESS nuanced & interesting? Ugh…”

She puts the romance in necromancy

Maybe it's just me, but I find the original version of Evening Glory way more interesting. She did something legitimately new with undeath, while the new version feels more generic.

Ah yes here are my Hechmen : the crazy necromancer mother The ghost of a half dragon half troll The leper cursed to be a mongrel And Wario

Evening Glory would absolutely adore the Addams Family. Morticia and Gomez are head over heals for each other. The family loves and supports one another. They love everything dark and morbid, and unashamed of it. Goth. The Addams would probably forget/ignore that Evening Glory is a god and treat her like a family friend.

Oh, you know I'm making a cleric or paladin of Evening Glory

in my homebrew campaign, i've made a whole region devoted to the worship of the older version of evening glory. she's legitimately my favorite d&d deity and she needs more love. thank you for covering her!!

The goth girlfriend archetype has truly ascended (quite literally apparently).

Lore idea: Option the Fourth, Esme's ritual succeeds, but something unexpected occurs as the essence of two mortals merge with that of the corrupted Evening Glory. Something inconceivable. Tatiana, the mortal hunted across reincarnation, who has resisted the fangs of Obsession for countless lifetimes, grants Evening Glory the will to purge herself of its corruption. Esme's soul is cast out from the fusion, becoming a wailing ghost to hound Strahd's footsteps. The Awakened Evening Glory flees into the mists of Barovia, unable to leave while bound to the target of Strahd's obsession, yet unwilling to abandon the unyielding mortal that saved her. And when Strahd learns what has occurred, a hunt begins that will culminate in a final battle between the forces of Eternal Love and Undying Obsession.

Valentine one shot with main NPC "Evernia Gloria" thats guides the party through the city as they celebrate the day of the Eternal Love.

Omg shes perfect for an NPC I'm building for my party! He's a human necromancer who's trying to bring the love of his life back after binding her soul to his shadow in order to save her. Im gonna make the quest he gives "please, seek out this goddess and convince her to help me. In any way you can. If you do, I will grant your party anything you desire."

I don't know. I think Adassec the God of going up and down stairs & ladders is the most romantic diety of all

Man, that concept for 3e is also so... bittersweet. This IDEA of life, and love, and happiness. Eternal beauty and youth. Even regular undead CHANGE, they rot away; her undead don't. They're total stasis. Total STAGNANCY. Isn't part of love the growth, the decline, the heartbreak, the lessons? You can't experience love, experience the pains and joys of growing with someone, like that. It's living (un)life in a photograph; beautiful and meaningful and wonderful in so many ways, and yet still not... the full experience. It's trying to preserve life in glass.

Using Evening Glory as an undead patron for a warlock after curse of strahd could be fun as it allows for the player and her to unknowingly be looking for a cure for her obsession

Trying to get her back to her old self would be a pretty good adventure hook. Since her followers are almost all undead there are bound to be those who have been around since she got trapped in Barovia and remember what she used to be like. On finding out that she has come back but become twisted in the process they dangle money, the threat of a new dark deity and possibly immortality in front of a group of adventurers to see who can help fix their goddess.

Well, there goes subverting our expectations, right out the window. Too bad. Up to that point, it was something out of the ordinary, a unique entity. Now she's not much different than every other crazy undead entity. You raised my hopes and dashed them quite expertly. Bravo...

Using Yennefer as the stand-in for the crazy Witch is wild. Accurate, but wild. lol.

Yup. I actually had my one character be a follower of hers. As he and his wife aged they were content in their lives, but both worshippes her. Both had always said they'd live eternally with eachother, and ultimately she dies of cancer. He burries her at her favorote location (a little cliff overlooking a valley that they'd occasionally watch the sun set together at). He'd go up annually to sit there every year on their anniversary. Long story short he becomes an adventurer, ends up failing lichdom due to the spellplague, gets a body back, becomes a lich, loses his mind because his soul is fragmented. His soul is gathered back up by his warlocks and the custodian of the school he founded, and still, in undeath, as the years pass by, as the plinth and her bust wear away, as the bench crumbles and falls into rubble... each year he sits and watches the sun rise and set with her. Yeah wispybones is one of my favorite characters

I think a Lich of Evening Glory would make a really great sympathetic villain. Someone like Dr. Henry Killinger from Venture Bros.; unflappable, undead, and unstoppable, but they only want what's best for the person/people/thing they're fighting for, and truly care about those they love. Maybe the former BBEG of the world died, and they're trying to train up a new person as their replacemen, acting as their parent figure in the process. Or maybe their former lover died during/before the lichification process, and now they're trying to make their dreams come true, through whatever means necessary. Heck, you could even have them be the 'evil ruler' of a whole nation of willing Undead that has decided to go on the offensive after centuries of raids by the living and the less-willing Undead. There's so much potential! Also, that intro was awesome.

This god is perfect for sooo many character backstories. Especially reborn.

Oh dear... so that might be the reason my wholesome necromancer kenku is allowed to survive in our campaign, my gm might have taken inspiration from this one :D

First time I heard of Evening Glory was through a meme, using that template of Gru from Despicable Me. I don't remember any details, but it went something like this. 1: Turn some person into a vampire. 2: Make them a cleric of Evening Glory. 3: Get fucked by the vampire. 4: Wait, what?

This is completely weird and unusual. Exactly what I like to hear when it comes to older DnD lore. I started out in 5E, you see.

I think you have inspired so many pcs backgrounds with this 1 vid

I think she was a big part in the Astoshan the Grey Necromancer story from awhile back, good stuff.

I really would love to see more stories that have the dark and the macabre without it being evil. I love the dark arts but I don't enjoy being evil.

I'm a DM and former administrator for an online Neverwinter Nights community set in 3rd-edition Forgotten Realms. Evening Glory is probably the most requested deity who isnt already part of the FR pantheon and isnt an elf god. Sadly she is a Greyhawk-only goddess in 3e, with no presence in the Realms, so we always have to deny those requests.

The Triple deity would look awesome, the resurrecting soul, the necromancer/witch, the devoted love, it's giving Hecate or the old epithets of Persephone

That last comment made so many gears in my head turn. I literally been haunted by a campaign concept including Lathander and Graz'zt and this fits too well.

Welp thank you for this I'm 100% using this when my party goes into the Amber Temple. A Power among powers that helps the others by manipulating the obsessions of mortals into taking the other trapped powers bargains. Hell this could be the reason Strahd took the deal with Vampyr, a twisting web of obsessions reaching out of the Amber Temple and to the hearts of Barovia, like the Radiance of Hollow Knight slowly taking root to drag in all worlds into Strahd's domain so she can be remembered eternal through the trapped souls desperations and obsessions keeping them going In short this is some good shit my guy, thank you

A half dragon troll ghost buying or stealing any gloves that are even slightly unique sounds great

Evening Glory is just the god of the elder emos. Their name also sounds like an emo band already too.

Okay, while I love this story, I hate one theme that it's centered around: All things dark and Macbre are evil. Even if they don't start evil, there has to be something to twist and corrupt every candle lit in the darkness. This has happened in most settings with neutral death gods, they eventually have to become dark evil, power hungry creatures for the party to conquer or slay. I hate that the creators of DnD had to take one of the few truly beautiful things from such a dark book as Libris Mortis and make it just another cookie cutter evil undead god.

I doubt Strahd would be won over by Esmae (fused with Tatiana and Evening Glory) that way. Because obsession is like an intricate dance: in the case of Strahd and Tatiana: Tatiana's constant rejection of Strahd and Strahd's continued persistence: the torture has become a pleasure in itself, all Strahd's Then comes Esmae's attempts to butt in, to hijack this dance? Strahd would sense Tatiana's own rejection to this process, one she was unwillingly forced into. Strahd who even for all this time obsessing over Tatiana: he respects her greatly in a way, never forcing his way with her. So now Strahd sees Tatiana being violated this way? and more importantly: Strahd's own 'dance' be interrupted ? ... by none other than Esmae: the one he actually despise? Strahd would be furious. Esmae would be distraught: that what's supposed to be fulfillmen of all their dreams.... would not be so. Strahd would attack Esmae, no matter of futile. Esmae would try to persuade Strahd... and failing that... would seek to put Strahd in bondage instead, being such a yandere like she is. But Tatiana, if she's able to, would resist Esmae. Evening Glory would have her chance at ultimate freedom: all she has to do is betray Esmae by empowering Tatiana just enough for her to break free. Likely Strahd, Esmae, and Tatiana, all of them would be ruined, maybe destroyed. Evening Glory would be loose and free.

Astoshan Steurm "The Gray Necromancer" Favored of Evening Glory is a big part of why i even looked at her portfolio. Hopefully, both their stories continue

It's a little off-topic, but I absolutely love the type of god who is just a nice guy or gal. The kind of deity to just show up in your camp and go fishing with you or make offers that are just kind gestures. Something about that trope just rings so well with me. Someone with all that power and responsibility, and they still make the time to understand and/or spend an afternoon with mortals. One example that's been on my mind is the purple catalyst comet from Adventure Time. She offers Fin the chance to explore all of reality and experience new life if he was willing to let go of his current life and all of it's experiences. I dont remember exactly, but Finn says something along the lines of "You're asking me to let go of all these things, but what you're offering doesn't sound bad." The comet, in response, says "That's because it's not. I'm just giving you a choice." Obviously, I'm paraphrasing, but it's one of the most beautifully surreal moments in the show.

Man, I lowkey want a storyline about prior undead cleric of Glory taking the party on a quest of "reclaiming the sanity of their goddess"; I imagine that her coming back in such a state would cause quite a schism

I have a player in an old campaign who was obsessively in love with this deceased hero from an older age. He was a legend in the world they played as with some historical validity. I would have loved to include this in their character but the story has come to end. Maybe in a one shot

There was a point where I was mad with Curse of Strahd, almost obsessed. How did I even miss this? It's great!

So in my game, my players have recently, unknowingly at the time, released Gargauth the exiled 10th Lord of Hell. Who's said to rival Asmodeus in terms of power. And to make it more interesting, I decided to make Gargauth into Asmodeus' brother. Whether this be an actual family relation, or just an incredibly close bond, its supposed to start a war between the levels of hell that the gods don't want to see happen because it would absolutely destabilize everything and throw the blood war into the demon's favor. But now, I'm siting here trying to think. What would Gargauth actually WANT with the throne of Hell? Why was he so content to walk the world of mortals. What if Gargauth was searching for something. Searching for someone. What if Gargauth was searching for Evening Glory, whom loved each other. And with the powers of hell, Gargauth wants to grab Barovia and pull it BACK to the material plane. To break the barrier that holds it as a Domain of Dread so that he could be reunited with Evening Glory. And the players have to be in the center of what is ultimately a love story. Of a man who would burn the world to the ground to reunite with his lover.

25:12 ""Lesser is not the operative word in that phrase"" after 25 minutes of lore-dump I can see why this scenario is popular LMAO this is poetic as hell, thanks for sharing it all for folks that probably won't see it organically. (tfw you AND your SO are both into this kinda stuff but are BOTH introspective shut-ins (f))

There's a lot of difference between love and obsession but they function together like sleep and death. Obsession wants but can't view the reality, but I feel like true, lasting love needs a less destructive form of that kind of devotion, without the obligation from the other. It kinda feels like Evening Glory is going to face a pivotal moment where she may grant a request made from love that ends with a conflict between love and obsession. Imagine if a woman begs the goddess to bring her husband back, but this devotion becomes twisted into a cruel controlling monster. A divine gift twisted so far even the corrupted goddess is horrified. Seeing the ability for souls to continue, she might eventually end up getting purified into promising souls to be reborn over and over into eternal love without corruption. A divine promise that, you two who ask, will be always destined to meet. She's shifted in a way that could drive her into a darker nature, or a genuine conflict within her portfolio. Either she becomes evil, or the differences will eventually come into conflict

This was very interesting. It inspires me to "Homebrew" a different ending with the aid of the Wish Spell and other powers. The party would need to be at least lvl 20 & include a Life Domain Cleric, a Death Domain Cleric, a Chronomancy Wizard, a Necromancy Wizard, an Undying Warlock, and an Oath of Redemption Paladin. The party allows the merging to occur yet afterwards frees Evening Glory, the merged Witch successfully marries Strahd eternally. Then they free Barovia from darkness and reconnects it to the Material Plane which also frees all the Lost Souls to go on to the Afterlife at last. They banish & bind the other Dark Powers to a separate self-contained Plane that can't influence anywhere else. They then Restore Evening Glory to full power purified of Evil/Obsession. All that I think creates the best ending.

We need a D&D Romanceable Deities Tier List lol

This is SO MY NEW CLERICS GOD/.WARLOCK'S PATRON.

Romance is dead Chivalry is dead God is dead Man, I’M DEAD This is gonna be great for my undead based campaign. Can’t wait for more undead to be covered!

It’s funny that I ran across this video, I have a village almost entirely full of her followers, the other half aren’t fully fledged followers but they’re interested in learning more before taking any of her rites. It also acts as a save haven for her both her followers and the interested parties.

I had a campaign idea with an undead theme stewing for a while that Evening Glory fits into it perfectly without any modifying... Well, maybe dropping the obsession part, or maybe even not. She also works great for any Grave Cleric, or Bard with Necromancy spells.

A neat ending would be for the ritual to be completed. tatianas thirst for freedom returning evening glory to herself and putting esme at peace finally, no longer desiring strahd, but peace, freedom, self determination and the wish to finally accept herself without and figure out who she is without defining herself by someone else's standards and wishes.

I played a reborn cleric of the Evening Glory in a Strahd game. It was one of my favorite characters to date. She had an epic ending. Love this diety!

Evening Glory intrigued me so much and gives me ideas for my future world where a lot of the lessons that need to be learned is how to move in and the dangers of clinging to the past. I'm ashamed to say I own that 3.5 libris mortis book, yet haven't read about the deities within. I will be now

I like the idea that if we have to keep what they did with Ravenloft, that the corruption was left in the Realms of Dread while Evening Glory herself was freed. The corruption can still play a part as a Dark Power or some kind of powerful entity manipulating things.

Evening Glory's twisted and corrupted form gives me HUUUUUGE House of Pain from "Jeepers Creepers" vibes. Her unleashed on the material plane would likely end in A LOT of those being created. The movie being created by an actual factual monster notwithstanding, I think it is a trope you can heavily borrow from if you want to incorporate her into your games.

Honestly I do love this dirty and now what to make a cleric of her. Though I don’t like the idea for of her being turned into generic obsession I like the idea that her church is split one that follows her old way and another focus on the obsession of love. So think your classic yandere in anime that’s the darker side of the church. Ok time to right a new campaign

I like this one. Like a WAY cooler and infinitely less problematic version of Naderi from pathfinder. Good. Goddess.

27:38 Strahd rejects her. She kills him in rage and becomes the new ruler of the domain and begins merging all of the domains of dread, turning Barovia into her seat of power, seeking to undo the Curse of Strahd, obsessed with still taking Tatiana’s place by somehow recreating the events as Strahd’s soul becomes trapped in the same way Tatiana’s was, dying over and over and rejecting Tatiana over and over. That’s how I’ll play it in my world, anyway.

The moment I saw this I had to get in and hit the like button. You have the unique ability to target my childhood memories with unnerving accuracy. Or maybe it's just because many of them involved Libris Mortis. Between this and the Book of Vile Darkness (but I'm not gonna talk about that) I really thought the deity options were kind of interesting, but because their existence had major implications in the sort of cosmic balance of the world, I felt like I would never be able to fit them into a game. Like, there's a whole deity for ghouls?? When is doresain going to come up in the game, let alone a compelling way? Now I can think of some ways, but many flavors of spooky dead guy god can only get so interesting. Evening Glory always stuck with me, because her (and Afflux, the blood god) seemed like they actually had a unique place in a pantheon or in a game. The idea of everlasting love is such a radical set of values to embody in a fantasy setting where "everlasting" is more than an abstract sentiment, and is much more complex than "Bone Dogg eats dudes." I got really disappointed when I never saw anything about her again outside of that book, or even much other mentions in the book she was introduced in. Now I'm hearing she was actually in 5th edition, in Curse of Strahd?? You're truly doing the dead god's work, reviving my lost childhood ideas to be placed in a new game. It's a little disappointing to hear that she's boring evil and such in Curse, but that gives me an idea. Not only does gothic horror have the potential for a tragic romance dead on, but there's a story of domains of dread in Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft that sticks in my head that could be leveraged. It's the story of the woman in the domain that is undead, animated by a replaced magical heart. Inhabitants of the domains of dread really have the whole "star crossed lovers that can't (or shouldn't) ever end up together" thing going on.

If I remember right, there is a little bit more to things than that which is brought up in the slightly expanded version of the modules when they had a limited POD version of it that had more campaign stuff and notes from the authors. One thing is an alternate of the second adventure ending to prevent the unintended players respond to the end in violence situation that popped up at a lot of tables, but the entire thing is more of a directors cut that also adds a few other things that hint towards the dark powers being even more than they appear to be in the basic adventure and Curse of Strahd. Namely that the Amber Temple is not where the actual Dark Powers of Ravenloft are, and that they're more limited there to just Barovia...and the odd power there also provides guises for potential dark powers to tempt and interact on a lower level than their normal thing, and it includes some things that came from earlier things involving Ravenloft such as the stone altar and elemental rift as potential side adventures (both from Expedition to Castle Ravenloft...and the authors wanted to add the Knight of the Raven as a Paladin subclass, but decided against anything more player side for it the compiled version...though it did add in things that were pretty neat rewards that got more powerful through the adventure as you go if you play through the entire campaign). It also makes it clear in the notes that Evening Glory in this is somewhere between an Aspect and a Vestige using 3.5 terms with a large chunk of possessing ghost to it. There is more of her elsewhere and that the wizards who built their trap only got a small piece of her, and the authors guess about what would happen with the locket is that it would return to the rest of her, wherever she would be to be reabsorbed into the greater whole

0:35 Well that scared the shit out of me...

I absolutely love that you introduced this idea. It's really interesting to bring interesting situations and ethical concepts into this game. You have proven your passion for this in an awesome way. Thanks for your hard work brother.

What a great little story time... super enjoyable... will definitely check out rest of your content... 💕

In the immortal words of Meatloaf, "Now I'm praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you."

"Most people, however much they love each other, don't want to be trapped forever in the body of a rotting corpse." OBJECTION! Lichdom stops the decomposition process!

That's a great outfit for you. Looks great! This was also a stand-out episode. I'd love more dives into modules like this. I'm an exclusive Home-brew campaign DM, too much of the fun for me is wrapped up in writing the stories behind the game, but getting breakdowns of all the cool stuff in the canon modules is super interesting.

Let me get this straight. Ravenloft, the Domain of Dread and all of that is because some Wizards forgot to cast detect Evil/Good before imprisoning a goddess because they just assumed Undead equals evil? Can you play a wizard with WIS as you dump stat? I feel bad for Evening Glory in all this. Definitly feel like you could run an adventure about redeeming and purifying her. Have some ancient undead priest of hers be your quest giver. Heck while we're at it, have it be revealed the one he loves is Evening Glory herself.

My Campaigns main citie's church is mainly to her. I'm so glad to see a video to her!

Noted: Post curse of strahd redemption arc for Morning Glory.

This was such a cool story! This is also the perfect inspiration for something I’ve been stuck on in my world building in how there can be a reason for less evil undead characters in my world! Thank you so much for enlightening me with this story

I reject Evening Glory's corruption and substitute her original incarnation.

What an engrossing bit of lore. Thanks for sharing this. Makes me want to check out more Adventurer's League stuff. This also reminded me a bit of the story of Arazni from Pathfinder

10:00. I had this exact idea for my dnd lich, in which he would be looked away in a relm for basically forevee (or until he managed to get out). Guess I will start using that

According to video game designers, Bhaal is the most romanceable, because that dude sure has a LOT of spawn.

She instantly became one of my favorite gods when I got Libris Mortis back in the heady 3e days. She quietly sits in my general pantheon, waiting.

This was so cool, thanks for diving into it! Really good inspiration for my own campaign setting. I'd love to see you cover Pale Night and/or Malcanthet lore at some point. Imo there's not enough on either of them. Yeah sure Asmodeus is cool and all, but an Obyrith so old and powerful she's known as the Mother of Demons? A succubus queen?? So much more interesting than Ol' Hoof and Horn if you ask me

this is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. Nice work on the video, I am inspired

This might be one of my new favourite entities in d&d. I'm really happy you brought this to our attention.

Welp. I think I'm gonna ignore the corruption part and use her for the deity of a Reborn Grave Cleric. I'm sure someone out there will be annoyed at a pro-undeath grave cleric but hey, this seems way more fun.

You know someone should write a campaign/ mini-adventure where the pc's help follows purify Evening Glory. I could you imagine a kind priest of EG slowly starts to decompose and lost his mind asks the party for help. Only for them to realize that purifying her would weaken some force filed/ curse a bad guy case to keep an item or person their obsessed "safe".

I have thought of a really strange combination of Evening Glory and one of the monster talked about years ago on this channel. What if Evening Glory's religion went extinct years ago and that is why she is no longer a god in your setting, but a Time Elemental (Deep pull I know) made its way onto the material plane. That caused a shift in the fabric of reality causing a town that worshipped Evening Glory to be brought back to the present. Now, her religion is revived in a sense.

Great work dude! Incredibly interesting and the amount of history you dug up is fantastic.

yo I made an undead warlock whose patron was the Evening Glory. My DM made it so that she isn't just a goddess of the undead, but she's literally an undead goddess. He made it so that she was actually Mystra after she had gotten killed. But, due to strange circumstances and her affinity for magic, she became the mother of necromancy in the same way she was the mother of magic as Mystra. As the mother of necromancy, she had an interesting relationship with undead creatures, especially vampires. it was the best writing for a deity I've ever experienced in TTRPGs that I've played in

evening glory, the less known sister of afternoon delight

Thank you for this you just added an item and goddess for a campaign I'm running. Now I need to learn more about her!

Oh no I want this Godess. I think she would be lovely mostly cleansed of obsession. But having obsession as a curs that follows her. Something she would be aware of and trying to get rid of.

"Great champion, would you allow me to hold you, but briefly? Perhaps you might share with me some of your lifely vigour, and your stout-heartedness. Doing so will grant me the warmth of a champion. Do you think it vulgar, perhaps? Where I come from, it is a sacred act."

So I thought of a cool way to save Evening Glory without changing anything up to this point. TL;DR: She's trapped in that locket in the end, lockets have a dual nature (a picture on each side when you open them), so what if Evening Glory also develops a dual nature? She finds herself metaphorically divided (between love and obsession) and then physically divided when the locket is broken in two... So lets say the locket escapes when the heroes leave with it but it manifests elsewhere; near someone powerful who's subconsciously calling out to her. A young lover caught between two others: One they have loved since they were kids and the Other they only met recently but have developed an obsession for. This person finds the locket and opens it to discover their 2 loves depicted, one on each side of the locket. Evening Glory, through this person, finds herself suddenly divided between her everlasting love and undying obsession... She's awash in a sort of nostalgia; she can feel that some of her devoted are still "alive" and she wants to resume spreading eternal love and beauty. But part of that witch she was joined with survived into the locket, became part of her, and has found root in the obsessions of this world. Hijinks ensues. Maybe her followers find her, maybe the lover's triangle culminates in a powerful magic battle, maybe another powerful entity/god senses her presence and intercedes... Culminating when the opened locket is physically broken in two. The old Evening Glory emerges, forever changed but re-devoted to her original purpose. And from the other side a new demi-goddess is born, a goddess of Undying Obsession. Her holy symbol could be a perversion of evening glory, like a thorny vine that chokes out other plants but prevents them from dying... Or as a reference back to where she was 'born' it could be an evening glory flower encased in amber.

It's wild how much that ending with the locket lined up with a homebrew decision I made running CoS for one of the players and their mysterious deity. Great video, Josiah!

I can picture Evening Glory developing an antagonistic relationship with a transplant from another RPG, the Demon Prince Andrealphus, lord of Lust in In Nomine. I can see them butting heads because Andrealphus, Andre to his friends, is the embodiment of lust as something that is largely just about the physical part of lust but also about using the other person as a 'Thing' to gratify one's own needs. That or I can also see Andrealphus manipulating Morning Glory, after all a strong enough Obsession ignores the will of the person you're obsessed over, then again being used like that could lead to the obsession of Wrath. There's an ongoing conflict that could mined here.

My name isn't Jacob, but I love replaying your videos while I'm doing something brain dead on MC or whatever

"I didn't want this video to be too long"... DUDE. WE WANT IT TO BE TOO LONG

"The worst they can say is no." Esmae to Omou:

This video has inspired me to explore how a relationship between Orcus and Evening Glory would be? Would it be like a Beauty & the Beast situation? Evening gets taken away to Orcus' layer, only for their shared appreciation of undeath and their annoyance at its bias from zealous jerks to make the demon prince change his views? Hades & Persephone? Since the name Orcus is the ancient roman name of Hades, and Evening Glory might have to leave the abyss for 6 months to stave off the corruption (maybe her moonflowers also prevent followers of Orcus to touch them) Or would it be like Nurgle and Isha? Or like that divine couple in The Book of Life? Maybe this is just me being romantic, and most likely Orcus just corrupts her because some people see him as an irredeemable bastard

Yeah in Pathfinder goddess Urgathoa literally says "Don't let anything stop you from enjoying life. Especially death"

Oh, I wish I knew of this one sooner. This would be such a good foil to my DnD character who became a celestial warlock through loving a solar, and promised to live a good life while spreading love and good will as much as she can until being united in death. The conversations she could have...

This is easily one of your best videos. Its incredible! Great job

Loved the video as always. Gotta love the deep lore!

I’m working a villain who was a paladin but now a zealot obsessed with forcing his sense of justice on the material plane… finding a locket with a god of literal obsession speaking into his ear could be a tragic and interesting way from him to break his oath and turn into the villainous character he is now
