This week Will and Omar cover the Lore of the Githyanki.
The githyanki plunder countless worlds from the decks of their astral vessels and the backs of red dragons. Feathers, beads, gems, and precious metals decorate their armor and weapons — the legendary silver swords with which they cut through their foes. Since winning their freedom from the mind flayers, the githyanki have become ruthless conquerors under the rulership of th...

In this episode, William and Omar talk about the Yuan-Ti.
Throughout recorded history, the humanoids of D&D have feared the Yuan-ti—those sentient snake folk whose cultures, magic, weapons, cities, and visible accomplishments rival those of humanoids. Fireside terror tales tell of slithering death, unblinking eyes, and fangs in the night, and a few even hint at the serpentfolks’ fell plans to enslave all other races and breed th...

This episode, William and Omar talk about Kobolds.
Kobolds are often characterized as squalid, diminutive reptiles on par with the likes of goblins or worse. Malicious, but of little actual menace. Their small stature, reptilian appearance, and often subterranean dwellings contribute to the image of them as vermin or lesser creatures. While some might grudgingly acknowledge their cunning in trap-making and mining, the prevailin...

On this D&D Legends and Lore, William Stark and Omar Timsah cover the lore of Orcus the Demon Prince of Undeath.
Though all demon lords would plunge the cosmos into eternal darkness and death should they ever be given the opportunity, few if any among the Lords of the Abyss strike horror and fear into the hearts of mortals more starkly than Orcus, the Demon Prince of Undeath. He who would annihilate even his brethren demonkind fro...

On this D&D Legends and Lore, William Stark and Omar Timsah cover the lore of Devils.
Evil comes in many forms. The power hungry ambition of the Lich. The tyrannical, megalomania of the Beholder. The calamitous destruction of the demon. But perhaps no evil is as insidious and wicked as the evil that calls itself “Friend”.
Since the earliest days of D&D, devils have loomed large among the mightiest opponents an adventurer can fa...

On this D&D Legends and Lore, William Stark and Omar Timsah cover the lore of Dragonborn.
Myths speak of the birth of the dragonborn, though they differ in the telling. Tales, awe-inspiring and terrifying, tell of the rise and fall of dragonborn empires. And modern dragonborn live according to their heritage, more than one aiming to carve an eternal story into the world’s chronicles.
But what does it mean to be Born of the Dr...

On this D&D Legends and Lore, Omar Timsah and William Stark cover the lore of Tieflings.
Perhaps no other peoples of the worlds of D&D better exemplifies the darker side of society than Tieflings. Not the “darkness” of their own appearance or demeanor. Not the darkness of their fiendish heritage or the dark magic of the lower planes that is their purview. But the darkness of society’s reaction to them.

On this D&D Legends and Lore, Omar Timsah and William Stark cover the lore of Hags.
For as long as there have been tales to tell, there have been whispered warnings of hags. From legends of cruel yet wise seers prowling the fringes of civilization to cautionary tales of cursed, hate filled creatures in the form of haggardly crones, hags haunt the mythology and folk-stories of nearly every people.
But what is the truth to these...

Many tales warn of dwarves who delve too deep. Few end well. In the days of old Delzoun, Clan Battlehammer carved its stronghold into the heart of Mithril Hall, a kingdom of wealth and power. But in their ceaseless digging, they tore open a rift—a doorway to the Shadowfell. And waiting on the other side was a nightmare as black as pitch, as hateful as sin.

On this D&D Legends and Lore, William Stark and Omar Timsah cover the Origins of the Abyss.
The Abyss is an enticing enigma within the lore of Dungeons and Dragons. Its depths unknowable. It’s animus inscrutable. A festering malignancy upon the very fiber of existence. The abyss is nihility made real. The call of the abyss has driven many a D&D character mad as they attempt to understand the plane of Chaos and Evil incarnate. And ...

Equal in power and prowess to their metallic and chromatic cousins, Gem Dragons divorce themselves from the conflict between good and evil completely. Their scales are crystalline, their powers are psionic instead of arcane, their breath weapons are not derived from the elemental energies of the inner or material plane, but from their mental...

On this D&D Legends and Lore, Omar Timsah and William Stark cover the lore of Giants.
Encountering a giant can be an awe-inspiring and disorienting experience. First comes a rhythmic booming, felt more than heard, that resolves slowly into the sound of footsteps: a giant is near! Loose stones vibrate and tumble down the hillside. Trees sway, then bend aside as the colossus emerges. How can anything be that big? Is it a trick of pe...
