The Lore of Red Dragons | D&D Legends and Lore Episode 59

When legends, fairy tales, and fables speak of dragons without specifying a color—when they tell of kingdoms laid waste, virtuous maidens sacrificed, and valiant heroes sent home as charred corpses— odds are that they speak of the mighty red dragons.

The Lore of Liches | D&D Legends and Lore Episode 58

The lich is, perhaps, the single most powerful form of undead known to exist. Liches are the remains of great wizards who embrace undeath as a means of preserving themselves. They further their own power at any cost, having no interest in the affairs of the living except where those affairs interfere with their own.

The Lore of Ghouls | D&D Legends and Lore Episode 57

Ghouls are among the most iconic corporeal undead. Haunting graveyards, battlefields, and crypts, they hunger for the flesh of living or recently dead creatures. Once human, ghouls are vicious killers driven mad by an unending gnawing hunger. They crave nothing more than to tear into and consume the warm flesh. It consumes their every thought and overrides even their sense of self-preservation. Still, even with their deranged and destroyed minds, ghouls have a terrible cunning which enables them to hunt their prey most effectively.

The Lore of Vampires | D&D Legends and Lore Episode 56

Of all the chaotic evil undead creatures that stalk the worlds of Dungeons and Dragons, perhaps none is more dreadful than the vampire. Forever shunning the light of the sun, Vampires upon creation are awakened to an endless night. They lust for the life they lost and sate that hunger by drinking the blood of the living. Moving silently through the night, these pallid undead stalk their prey without mercy or compassion.

The Lore of Death Knights | D&D Legends and Lore Episode 55

None can win the war with death, but losing the war does not mean the combatants have seen their last battle. Warriors who wish to fight beyond the limitations of flesh and blood can seek a forbidden way to steal their souls from fate. The cost of this immortality is death, but the fearless few who pay this price become death’s allies. Indeed, death bestows power upon them. Their fleshless bones clad in skins of armor, their brittle fingers clasping weapons with a grip of iron, these knights of death take command of their souls and their destinies. When they charge from the shadowy afterlife into the lands of the living, death knights ride to wage war upon life itself.

The Lore of Lolth | D&D Legends and Lore Episode 54

Deep beneath the surface world lies a realm of darkness, danger, and betrayal. Although many races claim it as their home, the sinister drow claim to be its rulers. With arrogance that few can manage, the drow lord over their slaves, scheming and plotting behind the backs of their kin. Despite their sense of superiority, the drow fear one thing: their dark goddess Lolth, Queen of Spiders. Check out our sponsor Tabletone!

The Lore of Juiblex | D&D Legends and Lore Episode 53

The horrors the Abyss disgorges are without number, and no limit restricts the disquieting forms that its spawn, demons, can take. Easily the most disgusting master to claim dominion over the tainted host is the creature known as Juiblex, He Who Slithers, the Unnameable One, Glistener, Indescribable Darkness, and Slick of Foulest Humors.

The Lore of Szass Tam | D&D Legends and Lore Episode 52

In the sinister land of Thay, scheming mages called Red Wizards dominate a society steeped in magic and deceit. Those without magical or economic power are at the mercy of these fascist mages, who harshly punish any who defy them. The truth is that the Red Wizards are a threat to all of Faerun, held back by the Simbul and Rashemen and their own disorganization. Those who know Thay realize that it is the Red Wizards' own lack of a coherent structure and their refusal to combine forces that keeps them from conquering the rest of Toril. But there is one among them who wishes to change this. Thay is also infamous as the home of Szass Tam, the dread lich who seeks to rule this nation and turn those who oppose him into undead minions.

Everyone Loves Lore!

JusLovett

As a massive lore nerd I love me some lore, especially D&D lore! So I appreciate it when a show immediately dives into just the lore & this show does just that! Only criticism I have is that I wish the episodes were longer with even more lore lol Definitely one of the better D&D lore podcasts.
More episodes please

You can tell how much effort goes into this podcast. The storytelling is rich, and the details are fleshed out. Very useful for future campaigns of D&D, and storytelling in general.
