Common Knowledge

Khyber and Daelkyr

  • Tied to the The Creation Myth everyone knows bad stuff comes from Khyber.
  • No knowledge of demi planes is required to know that if you find a deep hold, there might be something bad at the bottom of it.
  • Aberrations, fiends and Monstrosities are all lumped together and known to come from “The Dragon Below”
    • This is why most cults are just “Cults of the Dragon below”, even though a cult of Dyrrn the Corruptor has nothing in common with a cult of Sul Khatesh.
  • If you have a proficiency in arcana or history you might have a general understanding of the difference between the Daelkyr and an Overlord, but most people dont even know the term Daelkyr, and are likely to mix them up with Overlords
