As an aside, if slaad is singular and slaadi is plural, why then are djinn / efreet plural and djinni / efreeti singular? It irks me!

Also, erinyes is technically plural. The singular is erinys.

Different languages.

Meh. They could have changed it to be consistent within the D&D context.

because Slaadi are chaotic

Like Rilmani and Vistani?

Why should they? D&D isn't a culture of its own in-universe.

Piffle! Just let me have my pet peeve, will you?

FYI, Nerd Immersion's live-tweeting details from the Planescape panel at GenCon.



EDIT: Not much in the way of new information, but a fair bit of new art.

Below image supposedly shows the Gate-Town of Tradegate.

The two Background options.

The Lady of Pain!

As a note, no idea whether the center portion of the below image is meant to be current day or a notable scene from the past, but it clearly shows both Duke Rowan Darkwood and Hashkar (pre-FW Factols of the Fated and Fraternity of Order respectively, both of whom died as a result of the Faction War) along with Rhys (pre-FW Factol of the Transcendent Order, who survived by skipping town and stepped down as Factol after returning post-FW). Far right seems to be a Cranium Rat swarm masquerading as a humanoid. No idea about the mouse-person on the left.

Seemingly portraying a Shator (or possibly Kelubar) Gehreleth/Demodand.

 

[Demetrios1453]

Love those pictures, especially of the demodand, which haven't had much art over the years.

The mouse-type creature? Maybe a musteval guardinal? Although they're supposed to be more ferret-like than mouse-like. It very much is reminiscent of the pose of the mustival from 3e art, as seen here: Musteval

Hmm, even that article says "mouse-like". So if it is a musteval, someone got their information from that article instead of from the 3e The Book of Exalted Deeds - and missed the origin of the word, which is from the ferret's scientific classification: Mustela furo (genus Mustela is equivalent to weasels). But even if they've got the inspiration wrong (and it's not a huge difference anyway), it's at least a good sign that the guardinals will be appearing in this book.

 

[Henadic Theologian]

The big take way for me is that the beastairy isn't just new Monsters, it's stuff like traits and ideas and stuff for making ANY monster Planar. I suspect this is how they will handle petitioners, instead of just making a basic petitioner stat they will using a bunch templates like the traits to take other creatures (say humaniods, giants, fey, dragons, beasts, maybe monstrosities) and turn them into different kinds of petitioners with a trait, might even change their creature type in some cases.

Also if Guardinals are confirmed by that art, then Archons are likely coming too.
