September 29, 2025 The Return of Vecna | D&D Legends and Lore Episode 26
Vecna. He is the secret whispered in the dark, the deathbed confession that topples an empire, the lost spell fragment that can shackle the mortal races forever. He waits in hidden places, unearthing dark knowledge and horrible, long-buried things to further his dark goals.

September 15, 2025 The Lore of Mind Flayers | D&D Legends and Lore Episode 25
Where the illithids came from, why they choose to live in eternal darkness beneath the earth, what they seek, why they take such delight in cruelty and horror—these questions have stymied sages for centuries. The answers are startling and horrible, yet provide little illumination. One can know the mind flayers without understanding them.

August 11, 2025 The Lore of the Githyanki | D&D Legends and Lore Episode 24
This week Will and Omar cover the Lore of the Githyanki.
The githyanki plunder countless worlds from the decks of their astral vessels and the backs of red dragons. Feathers, beads, gems, and precious metals decorate their armor and weapons — the legendary silver swords with which they cut through their foes. Since winning their freedom from the mind flayers, the githyanki have become ruthless conquerors under the rulership of their dread lich-queen, Vlaakith.

August 04, 2025 The Lore of Aasimar | D&D Legends and Lore Episode 23
This week Will and Omar cover the Lore of Aasimar.
Their births are hailed as blessed events. Everywhere they go, they’re otherworldly visages, luminous features reveal their celestial heritage for which they are revered. Perhaps no other species of people are so readily trusted and praised for their deeds. So why… why is it so lonely to be Aasimar…

July 21, 2025 The Lore of Yuan-Ti | D&D Legends and Lore Episode 22
In this episode, William and Omar talk about the Yuan-Ti.
Throughout recorded history, the humanoids of D&D have feared the Yuan-ti—those sentient snake folk whose cultures, magic, weapons, cities, and visible accomplishments rival those of humanoids. Fireside terror tales tell of slithering death, unblinking eyes, and fangs in the night, and a few even hint at the serpentfolks’ fell plans to enslave all other races and breed them like cattle. Some people scoff at such talk, but the wisest sages warn that these fears have a solid foundation.

July 14, 2025 The Lore of Kobolds | D&D Legends and Lore Episode 21
This episode, William and Omar talk about Kobolds.

Kobolds are often characterized as squalid, diminutive reptiles on par with the likes of goblins or worse. Malicious, but of little actual menace. Their small stature, reptilian appearance, and often subterranean dwellings contribute to the image of them as vermin or lesser creatures. While some might grudgingly acknowledge their cunning in trap-making and mining, the prevailing view of kobolds is one of a cowardly, resentful, and ultimately hostile species.

July 07, 2025 The Lore of Orcus | D&D Legends and Lore Episode 20
On this D&D Legends and Lore, William Stark and Omar Timsah cover the lore of Orcus the Demon Prince of Undeath.
Though all demon lords would plunge the cosmos into eternal darkness and death should they ever be given the opportunity, few if any among the Lords of the Abyss strike horror and fear into the hearts of mortals more starkly than Orcus, the Demon Prince of Undeath. He who would annihilate even his brethren demonkind from existence and leave only the soulless undead to inherit the cosmos.

June 16, 2025 The Lore of Devils | D&D Legends and Lore Episode 19
On this D&D Legends and Lore, William Stark and Omar Timsah cover the lore of Devils.
Evil comes in many forms. The power hungry ambition of the Lich. The tyrannical, megalomania of the Beholder. The calamitous destruction of the demon. But perhaps no evil is as insidious and wicked as the evil that calls itself “Friend”.
Since the earliest days of D&D, devils have loomed large among the mightiest opponents an adventurer can face. Not only for their dangerous and violent nature, which is on par with that of any Devil, Dragon, or Aberration. But for their unrivaled ability to prey on and exploit the most defenseless part of any person be they mighty or meek.

June 02, 2025 The Lore of Dragonborn | D&D Legends and Lore Episode 18
On this D&D Legends and Lore, William Stark and Omar Timsah cover the lore of Dragonborn.

Myths speak of the birth of the dragonborn, though they differ in the telling. Tales, awe-inspiring and terrifying, tell of the rise and fall of dragonborn empires. And modern dragonborn live according to their heritage, more than one aiming to carve an eternal story into the world’s chronicles.

But what does it mean to be Born of the Dragon?

May 19, 2025 The Lore of Tieflings | D&D Legends and Lore Episode 17
On this D&D Legends and Lore, Omar Timsah and William Stark cover the lore of Tieflings.

Perhaps no other peoples of the worlds of D&D better exemplifies the darker side of society than Tieflings. Not the “darkness” of their own appearance or demeanor. Not the darkness of their fiendish heritage or the dark magic of the lower planes that is their purview. But the darkness of society’s reaction to them.
