  One of my favorite concepts is leaning into that theme of &quot;the shadow fell is a decayed version of the material plane&quot;, which immediately tells you where you can find portals or crossover points into the shadowfell. <br>Basically, if a location on the material plane is decaying and decrepit, then you are going to cross into the Shadowfell in that location because the material plane and the Shadowfell are one of the same in that location. And depending on how you leave that location, you might end up trapped in the Shadowfell even after you leave.

  Suggestion: Do Sigil next. You could return to Sigil each episode and step through the next &quot;door&quot; to a new location.

  Interesting way of breaking into a fortress. Go to the fortress outer wall. Phase into the Shadowfell and you will see a ruined version of the fortress.<br>Make you way through the ruin until you get where you need to go. Then phase back into Material Plane and you should be inside the fortress.

  Shadowfell is fun as hell. Always reminded me as being a Silent Hill type of place. A reflection of the prime material plane...but....shadowy-ier? 😆 Idk...I can be an edgelord sometimes, admittedly, and Shadowfell and the Kytons are just...so much win..<br><br>Or am I thinking of a different Plane?

  Shar is more like Mystra&apos;s &quot;step mother&quot;. In the FR&apos;s creation &quot;myth&quot; Ao created Selûne and Shar by parting light from darkness and thus they represent light and life, and darkness and oblivion/void respectively. Shar actually tore a part out of Selûne and that part became Mystra. When you learn this you know - you understand - that Shar will ever be there, no matter whatever you do. You might push back on oblivion, but you will never defeat it.

  I am surprised how deep and detail oriented is D&amp;D . &nbsp;I have Neverwinter Night 1 and 2, and all expansion, and it was deep and rich &nbsp;with &nbsp;lore. What i hear in this series of videos, about D&amp;D and Lore in pen and paper verison, i see i did known only 10% .

  The artwork is amazing and fits the videos very well. I LOVE the Shadowfell and the Raven Queen. Also I absolutely love the explanation of the Dark powers. I&apos;ve been an avid Ravenloft reader/ DM and fan since the early 90s. Never have I heard an explanation of what the intent behind the dark powers trapping the dark lords in these demi planes that make up Ravenloft but I&apos;m so using this.

  The Netherese presence in the Shadowfell is because some of the Netherese took refuge in the Plane of Shadow when Netheril fell. Some of them returned to Toril in 3E, but I think for the most part, through 3.5E and 4E most of those have been defeated in Toril proper, so what is in the Shadowfell are those that either didn&apos;t try to return, fled <b>back</b> to the Shadow, or are the Shadowfell&apos;s mirroring.
