Man I hope this is a start to a series about Celestials. That would be really cool

"Only the blackest of villains will attack a Couatl"- enter the murderhobo party with an edgelord on the side...

Inn my D&D group the Celestial Warlocks patron is a Coatl who sees it's end coming in the days to come and seeks out ways to finish it's celestial mission. So far the player only sees endless white coils in their dreams and wakes up with colored feathers in their dwellings. Sometimes it gives nudges or pushes towards a goal in the form of day dreams but the player has yet to speak to it on even terms. Theyre trying their hardest to push the Coatl to communicate with them but so far? nothing.

Last time I was this early the world was a swirling chaos.

Gotta say, Quetzocoatl was the god of learning, but the Flayed god was god of household chores so the skies the limit with these aspects.

30 years to become an adult and another decade to decide if they stay with the parents... Just like humans

So Jicerian has enough raw power that devoid of mortal worship she is As powerful as a greater god. That's kinda terrifying.

Wrought into the wall of the 1st gate of Mt. Celestia: “Everyone wants to get to heaven but no one wanna die” ~😔😔😭😭

Its funny that the day I started to draw the Couatl. This video was released. I am challenging myself to draw every creature from A-Z that has pictures in the monster manual.

I could imagine a lizardfolk society worshiping the coutal in opposition to nearby yaunti

This will probably be lost in a sea of comments, but if anyone does happen to see this, I hope you'll have a good day! :)

11:09 Like almost everything in early dnd...

Can't wait to annoy some DM by going like "well, modern non-traditional definitions of lying entail that lying can consist of simply withholding information with the intent to deceive, without making any statement at all... 🤓

what now? The couatl eats me? Aww..not again"

but seriously, can't say how much I love these really in-depths videos about D&D even if I haven't played in over a decade.

Mount Celestia's concept actually sounds a lot like the concept of Mictlan, the Underworld of Mesoamerican mythology, thats cool, it has less skinning of you metaphorical soul though, which is less cool.

@geoleo965 6 years ago (edited)

That, for starters, is Nahuatl for "serpent" (coatl.)

@Forg3Fi3nd 6 years ago

I really wish they would just release a lot book with all of this. This stuff is gold.

This is really sad, such a provocative monster, with such legendary power, is only a C.R. 4.
I understand the need to create balance for the whole game, but at least do this majestic creature some justice and say these are the stats of a juvenile Couatl! These are my favorite design, emphasizing beauty in simplicity, with so much story potential. It actually baffles me that there's not more lost history of the this race.

Keep it up man!
