Taldorei Stories

A fire genasi tries to make coin in town with her fathers, in the hopes of buying a new cart, lest they be left behind, but she gets much more than she bargains for. A story based in the Homebrew Continent of Esura, created by my fiancee, Kai, and set in the larger world of Exandria featured on Critical Role and created by Matthew Mercer. Cover art by @RaethHollow on Twitter.

Based on Critical Role, this is a telling of how the DM is involved in the world of Exandria and is a possible telling of how Vox Machina embarked upon their adventures as shown in the streamed games of Dungeon and Dragons shown every Thursday night on Geek and Sundry. Some knowledge of either Critical Role or the Tal'dorei Campaign setting may be necessary. Do note the chapter Final Role contains spoilers from throughout Campaign 1 from episode 24 onwards. All copyrights remain to their respective owners (Wizards of the Coast, Paizo, Matthew Mercer and the Critical Role cast and crew; cover art@mikandii) but other writers are welcome to build upon any part of this series.

Time has passed since Vox Machina defeated the Chroma Conclave and banished Vecna. But though these evils have been defeated, there still remain perils in the world. Whitestone has been receiving reports of bandits operating from the Parchwood Timberlands and which have so far been evading capture by the Grey Hunt.

"Cyrano, born under the name Lilthane, grew up in the lavish environments of some of Tal'Dorei's finest estates and amongst its poorest denizens. After a long journey to his ancestral home he finds the stories of his Nobel house to be a lie. Years later, he and his best friend/chosen sister Mirabel, or Madame Belle as the patrons of her brothel know her, are forced to embark on a journey with a near impossible task. At stake are the souls of thousands of innocents, and the free will of Cyrano's sister Mirabel. Set in the world of Exandria, created by Matt Mercer and the fantastical minds of Critical Role, this noncanonical adventure takes place over the series of all three campaigns. Based in the view point of outsider adventurers during the ascendance of some of Exandria's favorite legendary heroes. These misfits among misfits must overcome not just the mission before them, but they're own self-deception, ego, and the near impossible task of learning how you view yourself may not be reflected in the reality of your past and the choices you make." So this a book I plan on publishing piece meal over a period of time. I'm a fan of TTRPG, and in reflection of that, I will publish it a "session" at a time. For those who are unfamiliar with TTRPG, every night you meet up with everyone is a session where you guys go over a portion of a chapter within the campaign. So instead of promising a whole chapter at a time I will try and publish a "session" at a time. Other than those things I hope you guys enjoy it and even though the publication of these sessions might be somewhat sporadic I will do my best to be involved in the comments and respond when appropriate. If anything else comes to mind I'll put it here in the notes! Hope you guys like the story!
