@@TheMythKeeper Thank you! Those will definitely be in my wheelhouse. It's always a good day when I can get home from lifting weights and unwind with one of your lore videos and a meal.
When talking about devils, one cannot avoid the topic of infernal contracts. I'm surprised you skipped the phistophilus devils, whod deal with them. It would be interesting to understand how they work and what they can do.
You're right, I could probably do a whole video just on diabolical contracts. I didn't cover that at all in this video. Maybe that can be an add-on to a video about the Hellknights who effectively have a contract with a diabolical patron rather than being conventional worshippers.

Amazing! You have in my opinion the most interesting lore videos for religion on the internet. Keep up the amazing work, and I do hope you are recognized for putting in so much work. Have a sensational day everyone! Thanks for the vid.
Yes and no. At the one hand yes, there's lots of it, but at the other hand, no because there's much overlap between PF and DnD for one, and regular lore that's been just shifted or simplified from real life. It's similar to WoW, from an outside perspective it has massive lore, but if you simply link X to Y (for example, all Old Gods as Lovecraftian "theme") then you'd realize there's not that much "original" lore. Which is fine, when your goal is to make an expansive world with many themes to house many adventures of many players, but not so much fine when people take these themes and attribute them to WoW/PF/DnD as original, without ever learning about the actual original works that made up those themes.
When talking about evil deities, I find it important to figure out what benefit the worship of these fiends can bring to their followers. This benefit of course comes with a great price, but if there were no benefit at all, no one would worship them. And this remains a problem for me with the archdevils: they have disctint persoanlities and interests, but it's never explained what boons they grant to their followers that may be enticing enough so that mortals decided to damn their souls.
For real-world parallels, I've often thought of historical dictatorships or violently zealous/hateful systems of belief/politics. For instance devils would probably fit in rather well in historically fascist regimes. Demons would probably do well in a crime cartel or street gang situation. Even in today's world there are folks who will willingly hate or harm others for the sake of their political and religious beliefs. The mindset that "my harmful attitude/actions are justified because of my beliefs or how I've been treated" most closely mirrors the worship of evil in PF IMO.
I think a lot of folks watch these videos and assume player knowledge = character knowledge, but it doesn't. The vast, vast majority of people that worship devils probably don't even know they are worshipping devils. Its a slippery slope scenario, where there deity asks them to do increasingly dubious things but also fulfills promises of real power.
I love how in place of an actual picture of the Lady of Dis, u just put a picture of a disabled lawyer from a world where contracts r magically binding, Teysa Karlov from Magic: the Gathering, well this art is specifically from the card “Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts”. She is a great example of how u need not be physically physically threatening to be a scary person or to mess with.
Daemons of Abaddon will come out before Demons of the Abyss. I have that first one recorded, the other one is on the calendar and I should get to it fairly soon.
@@burningbronze7555 After demons, but keep in mind I'm vascillating between good-aligned demigods and evil-aligned demi-gods, and my religion series come out every third video; so... its going to be a while. Rough order: -> devils -> archons -> daemons -> agathions -> demons -> azatasa -> asuras/qlippoths/divs So, calculate that these videos come out every 3 weeks interspersed with creature features and regional deep dives and its a bit of wait still to get to those.
Baalzebul obviously comes from Beelzebub, Lord of Flies and one of the titles given to satan. When I once asked, why it's the Lord of Flies, I got following explanation: a Lord is someone, to whom people crowd around, and where do flies gather in crowds? Around dung. So "Lord of Flies" basically bears the meaning "Piece of sh*t". I'm not entirely sure, if that's historically correct, but it was memorable. Belial is also one of the titles given to satan, and means something like "good for nothing" or "useless".
Thanks, i actually "fell in love" with the lore of D&D about hell and Abyss and the Blood War. So i was a little sceptical about how Paizo's version gona be. But i'm glad to be in the wrong, this lore is quite great. And then again you make it more interesting in the way you give ous this knowledge. Thanks again!...and sorry about my bad english
Your English is great! I also love the Blood War of Planescape DnD, so like you I'm enjoying the Pathfinder version. I especially enjoyed how they made the major conflict law vs. chaos instead of the usual good vs. evil. I hope they'll eventually have a major conflict on par with the Blood War. Right now all the lore I know points to a "Cold War" situation between upper and lower planes and not a whole lot else. Maybe I'm wrong though and MythKeeper can make a video about interesting specific battles.
Demodands is on the list. For Titans... I think for right now you'll have to settle for the little you get in the Giants video and in the Planes video. I feel like I've talked around the Titans a lot already, even if they haven't gotten their own video.
Я думаю, что каждый архидьявол олицетворяет какой-то из аспектов Асмодея: 1. Баалзебул - тьма 2. Мефистофелес - конракты 3. Герион - запретное, тайное знание, а также коварство 4. Диспатер - тирания 5. Молох - разрушение и пламя. Асмодей - кузнец 6. Белиал - плодородие и изменчивость 7. Барбатос - социальный дарвинизм, жестокие законы природы («выживает сильнейший/наиболее приспособленный») 8. Маммон - вероятно, жадность (как заметил ниже MythKeeper)
@Infernal Thrune: I love this. Yeah, Asmodeus' broad interests are pretty well-covered by his servants. Mammon is the devil of greed, and I feel like that could also sit in his portfolio. Barbatos is the strangest devil. If you like the idea that the archdevils were chosen by Asmodeus because they each represent a part of him, then consider that Barbatos is inscrutible and unknowable, which could be said of Asmodeus too.
@@TheMythKeeper Моя версия: Барбатос олицетворяет собой жестокие законы природы («выживает наиболее приспособленный/сильнейший»), которым подчинялись все живые существа на заре времен - до того, как Иисус подарил им свободу. Не стоит забывать, что Асмодей - один из создателей мира смертных. Я вижу его как бога социального дарвинизма. К тому же, не сомневаюсь, изначально Асмодей отнюдь не был гуманоидом. Он обрел этот облик только когда человечество воцарилось на Голарионе (и в целом стал более «человеческим» и менее «звериным»). Возможно, первоначально Князь Ада был чем-то похож на Барбатоса Я также совсем забыл о том, что Молох - это бог огня (одна из двух «стихий» Асмодея - наряду с тьмой), а Белиал - изменчивости. Хочу поделиться своим хедканоном: на самом деле Асмодей не выбирал архидьяволов. Они буквально его аспекты, его частички. На ум приходит крылатое выражение из Библии: «имя мне - легион»
Yeah I know, its so random its kind of great. Some thoughts on this: Maybe that's why the Abyss has had a lot of success invading Golarion (through the Worldwound) but Hell has not made so much headway? Or perhaps since Asmodeus is the sponsor of Cheliax and its a great source of souls he doesn't necessarily want to conquer the world outright and Alichino has a more complicated objective that simple conquest here. Its also worth noting that in Starfinder (spoilers!) Golarion doesn't actually exist any more, so at some point in the future it will either get destroyed, pulled out of the timestream or moved to another plane (TBD). Maybe this goofy jester devil actually wins in the end?
Looking forward to qlippoths! Of course, do the outsider races in any order you see fit. Here's a thought: the Outer Sphere is simply a foreign speck suspended in an unimaginably vast Far Realm, slowly being dissolved. The tunnels and depths of the Abyss are the cracks resulting from the dissolution of ordinary reality, and the qlippoths are the 'Welcome Wagon' reps.
I was reading a conversation thread on here and you raise an interesting point about player vs character knowledge. As a player it's good to have this sort of world lore knowledge and meta knowledge: it helps you build either a story or a character that you're excited about and feels consistent with the world. But a lot of the lore we learn as players isn't necessarily common knowledge. It's interesting to think how much of this stuff an average character or npc might know.
I would assume any character without training in the Religion skill knows the names of the mains gods worshipped in their region and their rough spheres of influence (because thats common knowledge) but has no knowledge of any of the more detailed stuff and certainly couldn't name the archdevils, never-mind have knowledge of the infernal dukes. A character that has a +10 or more in Religion will probably know not just the names, but also something of there personalities. They'll also probably have acquired some knowledge of how the afterlife actually works and what the real implications are of religious worship. A character with a +20 or more has an epic understanding of religion, maybe equivalent to the knowledge of the human player, or perhaps even more sophisticated (since for us the game is an abstraction and we don't have to worry about the science and metaphysics of Golarion's faith systems).
@@TheMythKeeper That makes sense and I think that's a good way to play it. I think if I was running I'd also give a little more leeway for in character knowledge for Clerics and Champions or a character who was raised in a religious institution. I feel like it would make sense for characters like that to know a bit more about at least one deity. I think I'd probably modulate the available in character info on devils depending on the game, the bad guys and the setting. But it's got me wondering how common information on the hells and devils would be outside of the people who worship them? It would make some sense for followers of opposing deities to have some knowledge. But then again it seems like the kind of thing that characters would get suspicious about if they found out you knew.
I am definitely keen to do those Kytons (or Velstracs as they are no known for IP reasons...) but I'm going to get through the denizens of the Hell & Heaven planes before I get to the demigods from the transitive or more neutral planes. Also plan to do a Psychopomp Ushers video at some point which should be fun too.
Kytons are from the shadow plane! But yes, I'm totally going there. I think I'll probably get the Asura first in a video covering Asura, Divs & Qlippoths (the other 'hellish' residents) and then give Kytons (or Velstracs now, goodbye OGL) a whole video just for themselves because they are awesome.
@@TheMythKeeper oh shit I just out lored the mythkeeper himself. Truly an auspicious event.

Love, love, love Erecura. Just like the idea that there is a Neutral, maybe even good-leaning goddess, that just happens to live in Hell. Definitely underused deity.
Canonically - unspecified. However my 2 cents, is not good. Mammon is a god of greed, which means he promotes the hoarding of wealth. Abadar is a god of commerce, so he promotes investment. While he does encourage his followers to 'spend money, to make money' he also believes trade in general betters society overall. He's also a god of civilization and culture, and the exchange of ideas. Mammon probably feels to him like a corruption of his ideals, and this would probably get under his skin. (But this is just my 2 cents!)

While he does encourage his followers to 'spend money, to make money' he also believes trade in general betters society overall. He's also a god of civilization and culture, and the exchange of ideas. Mammon probably feels to him like a corruption of his ideals, and this would probably get under his skin. (But this is just my 2 cents!)
Members only content? Ill stick to creators with integrity thanks.
EDIT: Clarifications were made, apologies for the original comment.
Its not members-only, its early access. All my content comes through the main channel if you're patient.
@@TheMythKeeper Forgive me for calling the content with the "members-only" tag as being for members only.
Why are you using RUclips's system over a site like Patreon?
@@aevum6667 Just because I was already on RUclips and it all seemed conveniently built into their service. I'm still pretty new at all this. The channels been up less than a year, but maybe a Patreon will go up in the future.
@@TheMythKeeper Gotcha, the reason many people, myself included, are far more harsh on channel memberships then Patreon is that unlike Patreon RUclips does some really unfair things regarding the algorithm for channels using it's membership feature.
So it gives people who monetize through RUclips an easier time in the algorithm then people who don't monetize or who monetize in 3p ways.
We just don't want to see RUclips became more of a hellscape where you need to monetize your channel to even be seen in search results and recommended videos.
@@aevum6667 Hey I absolutely didn't know any of this. I was remarkably uninformed when I put my first video up on the channel. Thanks for the info though I really appreciate it.
Which lesson is about Sarkoris, Worldwound, Crusades history?
The Worldwound video is not out yet I'm afraid, but it will be coming out in the next month or so! I also have a Mendev video coming with some details about the crusades there too.
@@TheMythKeeper Oh OK thanks. I'll watch those since I'm playing that game.
Wait, are those THE cornugons the feat "Cornugon Smash" is named after?
Yep yep!
@@TheMythKeeper Sweet, that feat is super strong, so it makes sense now.
I wonder if Barbatos is supposed to be a Quillpoth.
I think he's meant to be something much weirder than that. Like a Lovecraft thing from the Dark Tapestry.
You shouldn't put exclusive content on the playlist that we can't watch. Boo
There's nothing exclusive. That's just early access. Eventually everything comes up on the channel ;-)
Im always annoyed that colonization is seen as an absolute evil
