Dungeons and Dragons Lore: Aboleth Secrets

when you open the monster manual right at the beginning you see the Apple death really just analogous to the world of Dungeons & Dragons where indeed the very first thing that the prime material realm ever truly saw was the one and the same [Music] [Music] superficially what looks to be a prehistoric type of fish it is quite in fact what we would consider an aberration these types of creatures come from without aliens in this world entities that defy the natural existence monsters from the far reaches of the universe these are aberrations what is not born of the prime material realm that instead comes from what we call the far realm the far realm is the frontier between what is and what isn't the difference between what can be understood and what shouldn't be understood these are the extreme reaches of the known multiverse as far into oblivion as you can get when you sleep into the darkness of the beyond when you stray far from the light of creation there exists this far realm nothing in here can truly be understood in fact the very act of seeing it let alone believing it is enough to drive any adventurer mad for in this realm nothing means anything and everything is also nothing a wizard that travels to the far realm ceases to be a 3d object the air is syrup and you start growing legs instead of teeth the entities that grow and exist in this place are as bizarre as its world and this is just a frontier the far realm is merely the gateway into the unknown into the unimaginable but it is here that the beginnings of diabolos come from but how do we explain the beginnings of the Ovilus how do you recall anything from a time before time no official book recalls this epoch no timeline exists in any wiki for this age in fact there is not even a name for this time in space the gods were not even born by the time this story begins in fact all that ever existed was what we now call the elder evils evils might be a biased word but these primordial filaments of eternity have no respect for life they are so monumentally powerful that even the multiverse itself is but a hallway to grander things and through this hallway passed one of its greatest an entity that we shall call the blood queen once this entity passed through this small tiny hallway we call the prime realm an echo of this monstrosity was left like a piece of its magnificence that was left over and this piece was the prime abbath the very first of its kind this creature this abbath was a similar reflection of its mother a creature born perfect intelligent powerful and above all ambitious left in the prime material realm with no guidance no love from its parent its eked its fortune no gods had been born yet no true races had existed the world was avatar el as it was known back then the same world you play in when you play in any of the fifth edition campaigns except this is prehistoric times millions of years ago a planet with no lands but encompassed entirely by water a dark dark world with no Sun and no light the abbath was alone but there was much to discover and its body was perfectly suited for this task you see this creature doesn't actually age and it lives forever as only disease and war can destroy this vessel every five years it would crave solitude in order to reproduce and I say completely her mother did a creature it lays its eggs and fertilizes them all by itself and from the prime abbath one two three children would be born born with the memories of the father the avila 'the imprints his memories unto his children so by the time they were born they come out as full adults in all but in size and that was the beginning the beginning for all in this realm the true start to the whole mythos of Dungeons and Dragons the Ablett's took over and dominated the planet conquering and enslaving every single new race that emerged until the planet was entirely there's great cities were built an entire culture was formed and the single greatest Empire this world would ever see was shaped for eons this was true for countless ages the great Empire of the a vilette's reigned true and for all this time no real recording exists the gods didn't exist then so not even they know for how long the Ovilus were kings in fact only the a vilette's themselves truly now through the rest of humanity we consider this time as the time before time when the timelines don't even count the years for they truly don't even know this is what comes before the first recordings of the ages what comes before what we know as the Blue age this age this blue age is when the gods were born when the dawn war started and the gods fought the primordial x' when the Sun was created and all was illuminated the a vilette's controlled the planet and they had enslaved everyone else that existed in this world but for all their power for all their might they never expected that which actually defeated them religion indeed it was religion that defeated the Ovilus for the slaves believed the slaves of the Ovilus at faith they prayed to the gods and in the world of Dungeons and Dragons many gods become more powerful the more servants they have the more faith they receive the higher the number of shrines the louder the supplicants the more fervor from the clerics the more mighty these gods become this was unseen by the Ovilus a great power they were blind to for how could they see this coming how could they know how could they stop their slaves from praying how would they stop their servants from believing well they couldn't and the gods grow strong and the God speed the slaves and the such the a vilette's were struck down by all the gods above they came down an advertorial with an unquenched fury and destroyed the Empire all their cities collapsed and most of the applets were killed and after the great a vilette's were defeated the age we call the days of thunder began the ice caps melted the world was shifted and a massive continent was brought up from the deep depths of the oceans this is when the Creator races emerged this is when the gods started keeping track of time and the cultures that followed did so as well and we know this to be about thirty seven thousand years ago or as we call it the end of the avila Empire but the Ovilus are immortal they live forever and not all were killed technically speaking as long as at least one availeth survives the whole race is bound to rise again and rise again they did but this time with a hatred to rival the Devils for they have something special we have yet to talk about they have perfect memory the Avalons have the ability to recall everything that happens to them with perfect clarity and without error combining that with their ability to imprint their memories onto their babies creates a race where every single Eveleth remembers every single detail about every single hour of every single day that happened within the span of all the eons that have ever existed in the universe as long as a novelette has seen something then every single member of his lineage down the line will remember that event and with perfect clarity this is why Ablett's hate the gods every single one of them for they remember ass clear as yesterday their defeat at the hands of the gods they remember their cities they remember their empire and they remember their culture they remember the slaughter that they suffered they respect the gods in the sense that they respect the power that they wield but they do not honor them they don't see the gods as this mythical thing to be awestruck by as entities to look up to and of course they wouldn't for the Ovilus remember every single gods birth and they remember many a gods death the Ovilus know far more than the gods do and they clearly remember a time when the gods didn't even exist and they yearned for that time again and much like before Diavel 'its would grow in numbers and threaten the world only to be pushed back and defeated again by the gods a cycle that would repeat itself many times through the countless ages as a never-ending threat this cycle of the Ovilus are always waning or waxing they are always either in retreat or in full charge but then the question is are they currently waxing or are they currently waning to defeat a novelette you have to understand a novelette stay tuned for the sequel to this video where
