It looks like the first episode is next Monday, September 2nd. Is that correct?

There is some pretty epic art in the article. I wish I could see the big battle scene closer up and in more detail.

EDIT: You can full screen it. Pretty awesome. Not my favorite style, but suitably epic blood war stuff there.

No, the first episode is up now. In the link provided. It is 51+ minutes so I haven't watch it yet, just looked through the art in the link. It has got me interested.

Looks like we are going to get at least three new Dukes of Hell in this book.

Trying to recognize all the Fiends in the blood war shot. Wondering if the Demon Leader there is Baphomet?

I thought it was just a Goristro

@Morrus I think this thread might be worthy of a news bump to the front page?

This morning I was looking for maps of Elturel and in the Dndbeyond webpage they had a very low res map of Elturel Chained in Avernus.

Now they have removed the map or blocked access to the file but I had downloaded it before they removed the access.

It is VERY low resolution

THat's the first map we've seen, other than the big map of Avernus: very cool.
