Another great episode! Here's a quick summary of the ideas tossed around by Mitch, Ian and guest Erin Evans!
I needed to flesh out my own underworld setting for my homebrew and again another World Building episode comes along at the perfect time!
Here is the outline for my homebrew underworld, inspired by this weeks episode and supplemented with some Tome of Beasts creatures! In my world, there are 9 deadly sins!
The Nine Hells of Nerull (format = Sin; master; alignment "layer quote")
Did this week's episode inspire you to flesh out your underworld, or to add increasing depth to it? I'd love to hear about it here!
- Environment; Single realm or a multi-layered, multi-environment realm?
- Souls of the dead; Is this a place of punishment? Or just a neutral natural place where you go when you die? Something more unique even?
- Gods and Native inhabitants; Is this where evil Gods dwell? Are your gods of death even evil, or are they a neutral God that views death as just a natural part of life? Does this realm contain powerful guardians meant to keep mortals or punish the souls of the damned?
