ntroduction
This world was born as a natural evolution of a homebrew one-shot game
that spiraled into an ongoing campaign, and eventually the unexpected phenomenon
of our live-play stream
Critical Role.
Never in a million years would I have ever antic-
ipated the attention our little
D&D
game would acquire, let alone the extensive level
of world building I would put into creating and fleshing out this
realm from within my own imagination.
Exandria is a true labor of love, a gift for my players, and
a gift to our community. When the opportunity arose
to take my scrawlings and notes and put them down in
a comprehensive tome for others to enjoy and manifest
their own stories within, the wonderful and daunt-
ing idea immediately filled me with inspiration and
determination to produce something I hoped would
be worth your time and appreciation.
I have never written anything
like this before. The process
has been a delightfully
challenging and
rewarding experience
throughout, and I
have my talented allies in
its creation to thank. I now
stand at the end of my journey of putting this
unique, personal, and colorful world onto paper
from within my head, and I am extremely proud
of what we’ve done… and I sincerely hope you feel
the same.
Within these pages lie the tools to create, intro-
duce, and run your own adventures within the
continent of Tal’Dorei, either before, during, or
after the adventures of Vox Machina. You will
learn about the history of the realm, the figures
who guide it, and the powers which may invoke
and alter the paths of the next wave of heroes
you summon within.
I offer you the necessary materials to
create legends, and I hope you enjoy bringing
them to life.
W
elcome to Tal’Dorei, the first of (hopefully) a number of campaign guides and
world books within my own crazy creation, Exandria.
