I had an idea of an arc for an NPC demon character who is neutral good (long story how they got there from their previously chaotic evil state) at the time to essentially climb mount celestia as a means to prove their willingness to reform. Needless to say, the holy water didn't take too well as not only is the demon... a demon, but is also one of the fire aspect (Homebrew) and is vulnerable to water. (Enough that rain deals damage) As part of the test he was given the unlimited capacity to resurect after death (The demon is immortal, but falls back to his demiplane each time he dies usually. A whole summoning ritual is required to bring him back or he can cast his own spell after 2 days of meditation (48 minutes of regular plane time), but the immense pain just getting to the island would have been immense. Other player characters get to intereact with this demon on their journey and recieve some great wisdom and if the player characters have previously engaged with this NPC and have helped and that the NPC has had a positive experience, the demon NPC will join the player characters and help them on their journey. I'm thinking for the fourth mountains test, the NPC will have to sever their connection to the demi plane rendering them mortal before taking the leap of faith. I can't wait for the next video to get some more ideas! Plenty of stuff to read in the meantime though.

@@jonathancampbell5231 The demon is technically extraplanar (Technically a kind of demigod (Does not obtain their power through worship though), all homebrew). Only calls themselves a demon as they don't want to call themselves anything else until they have reformed. Their looks never change in the process. Think fire lord Imix but with no mouth (Like a protoss in starcraft) and dart stone plate armour. Maybe like you would imagine a lava elemental to look like, but instead of lava or fire it is plasma like in a star that runs through their veins. There are many demons like this one (in a homebrew plane), but this is the only one to have reformed in this way and only one of few to have a demiplane. Part of the reformation process is becoming lawful, which is essentially the hardest part the demon has to come to terms with (Though they want to) The demon did not reach the plane through normal means after all, so they can be any alignment on entering

Planes of Law from planescape. There's not really set rules to get to the next layer, you just need to succeed at your chosen path. In a sense all the paths are really the path, or at the least they all could ideally lead to the same place. The Eightfold Path and the Path of Five Virtues are both paths to the purity of the seventh heaven, but they emphasize different qualities and following specific ones make you less likely to get to the top. The general rule is that you need to stick to your current path and master it to such a degree that you can ascend a layer and from there you can choose a new one. It's not clear if the archons follow the same rule, but I would imagine you just master one type of perfection (love, charity, valor etc) and then move onto a new type of the many.

Question what happens to non-humanoids at dead. But where do they go . Are they reincarnated do they go to the real. That fits their element . Do they just cease to be. I know gods body's are through in that astrosea. And power can still be draw from them for a long time. Only theory here but gods could go to the farealm. And are the thing people back pacts with. And at the highest is the mindflyers. But that just a theory .

Jazirian's riddle is the entire basis for my Yuan-ti Pureblood Celestial patron Warlock. He is climbing the mountain and got to Uroboros but incorrectly answered the riddle so Jazirian sent him back to the mortal realm to live again and every time he dies he gets another shot at the riddle. But he's never born with memory of his previous life so most of his lives he doesn't even know he's suppose to be looking for the answers. The Yuan-ti character went from Chaotic evil(as yuan-ti tend to be) to lawful good after a chance meeting with a couatl which unlocked his memories of Uroboros(but not his past lives). So he's a Lawful good Yuan-ti Celestial(couatl) patron Warlock. His existence bends the other player's minds because he's not suppose to be possible to exist.

I love the concept of Celestia, an afterlife that demands more of the petitioner than perhaps any other. Celestia is a nice place to live, but that isn't its purpose. One must seek continual self-improvement, the plane bidding you become the best version of yourself. How freaking cool is that? Do you want a chill afterlife? Celestia probably isn't the place for you. Want to achieve enlightenment? Celestia is the place to be!

I really love this concept myself since there’s a lot of possible character arcs that can tie into this. The magical restrains from the plane alone can be used as a goal for Wild Magic Sorcerers to find a tuning fork when they’re seeking a cure for their wild magic.

Throwing yourself off a peak in the 4th layer is even harder than it sounds. Because your intentions would have to be absolutely pure. No selfishness. No doubts. No scheming. Any impurity is unacceptable. You will not be granted passage. But you DID just throw yourself off a mountain for selfish personal gain, and I'm not so certain that an Archon is going to save you if you just tried to game the system.

That's the point of the other tests, to prepare for the next one, clearing your intentions and looking to be a better version of yourself, more humble, calm, generous and more, to self reflect on who you are and what are you doing and what is your place in the multiverse... If you think about it, the multiverse is just vast, infinite and not even the gods know how far it stretches... How is possible for you to even make the difference for the whole if your entire existence is miserable? The answer is because you are not doing to change the multiverse, but because is just simple the right thing to do

In all fairness, most of this stuff doesn't really stand up much to logical scrutiny. I actually like to play up the apparent hypocrisy - like why do these planes get to decide what "good" is? Isn't it pretty sketchy how the people of the material plane are duped into not deciding for themselves what's good for them? I like to see Mount Celestia as not just one faction but a unique location which houses many factions. Also, if you watch AJ Pickets vid on Mt. Celestia he'll say how some lore states that petitioners to the Outer Planes lose their memories when they get there - which is actually kind of terrifying. It implies what you did in life didn't really matter in the end - that your soul was pre-destined to go to Mt. Celestia. So if your soul is already destined for an outer plane, why bother adhering to a certain morality? If you're already considering this and you're already destined for the Nine Hells, why not do everything in your power to extend your life and save yourself?

My drow bard took a short cut. she helped redeem Zariel and asked if she could go with her to mt celestia. Zariel knowing that her ultimate goal was to free her people from the tyranny of Lolth considered that a worthy enough goal to bypass the tests. While she still has to maintain the rules of the realm and continue towards her goal of saving her people she basically got a free pass right to the top and was told on death she would become an angel like Zariel. This was post game story. one of the only characters of mine I actually retired because how can I top that ending right?
