Announcing Tal’Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn

The deck of an airship flying through the clouds above Tal'Dorei with an adranach attacking the helm and fiery explosions happening on board. Five adventurers are on the deck of the airship facing the adranach and a sixth is leaping to attack them. The adranach is a large, purple, luminiscent winged creature with a silver mask, silver-taloned front paws, and stars glittering in its wings. Art by Genel Jumalon.

Vastly More Pages and a Changed World

Tal’Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn updates, revises, and expands significantly upon the original. It nearly doubles the page count at a whopping 280 pages, adding content across the board. Further, the very state of the world has changed: the setting of Tal’Dorei has been advanced two decades in its future, to the time of the Mighty Nein in the second campaign of Critical Role. See how the adventures of Vox Machina and the conclusion of Campaign 1 have affected the land![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1626924874483{margin-top: 15px !important;margin-bottom: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_text]
