What do say to Troy Baker portraying Syldor Vessarin in season 2 of Legend of Vox Machina? I don't know why but I could imagine him voicing Syldor.

Help please. Litteraly just changed the date about Buddy the Orge in the trivia because it must’ve been mistakenly changed when whoever edited the note about grogs strength score being 2nd highest now. But now the whole pages is fucked and I have no idea what happened

Grog’s Trivia should be updated since we now have PC with a higher strength score (Zerxus EXU Calamity) he still has the highest score for a main campaign player however.

There is truly SO much lore and new stuff that I don't think I caught it all, so I'm going to give an overview. No links this time too because it's truly SO MUCH.

Main PCs (have pages, need updates)

Zerxus Ilerez

Loquatius Seelie

Laerryn Coramar-Seelie

Nydas Okiro

Cerrit Agrupnin

Patia Por'co

Other things with pages to update

Ley

Either the Founding or History of Exandria articles (or both) re: the Schism

Pages to Create

Cathmoíra (note the accent over the 'i' )

Elias Ilerez (note that I'd perhaps keep Evandrin on Zerxus's page for now, to expand/move to his own as needed, but we got a bit more with Elias; same for Nydas's family)

Bolo

Imyr

Toramunda

Eyes of Avalir (might make more sense to do factions and then break out significant NPCs w/in those factions as the story continues)

Herald's Tome (ditto - Aria can go here for now, for example)

Golden Scythe (ditto)

Rings of Gold, Silver, Brass (might combine into one) (ditto re: NPCs v. factions)

Hodmedod

Bow of a Solar

Hope this gives you some starting points, and I'm sure I missed a bunch of things. Good luck!

Just a head's up: I'm going to be out of town with extremely limited free time this coming weekend from Friday through Tuesday. There is virtually zero chance I'll be able to do the episode page, or even watch the last half of the episode, until I return next Wednesday (unless I fail the COVID test and can't go at all, of course). That also includes all the housekeeping that needs to be done when the YouTube release drops on Monday afternoon.

So if anyone has free time and a desire to work on all or part of the episode page, that'd be great! If not, and my flights cooperate, I should be back and able to do anything that remains to be done on June 1. I will have internet access the whole time, so if there's an emergency feel free to page me on Twitter or Discord.

After some very lore-centric/happening weeks, a slightly lighter one! As always, please do a pass on the main PC pages.

Pages to Create

Raha Den

I think we don't have a name for the object that that tracks Treshi, but it might be worth creating something

Pages to update/take a second pass on

Dusttra

All of the crew of the Silver Sun and the ship itself (Xandis, Khalil, Terana, Gordi, Denalia)

Bassuras (other than the Raha Den I think everything else can for now be points of interest only to be filled out as needed)

Relationship between Chetney and FCG had some moments

Hello all,

I am conflicted on where to place another connection of the "little moon, big moon" analogy—namely, Caleb's use of it in 2x76, 1:43:00. He uses the moons as an analogy to describe his relationship to Beauregard in a ruse as her research assistant, the latter acting under the pretense of conducting specialist lunar research. I considered placing it under the trivia category in the pages for Orym, Catha/Ruidus, or Caleb. I also considered making it a footnote in the subsection on Orym's relationship with Will on the Orym page.

I feel like it's fun/potentially useful information since the relational symbolism of Catha and Ruidus recurs for Liam, being quite important for Orym regarding his relationship with his late husband.

Here is the markup I was putting together as a draft for use:

* The "big moon little moon analogy" also occurs in [[Refjorged]] of [[Campaign Two: The Mighty Nein]]. [[Caleb Widogast|Caleb]] explains that [[Beauregard Lionett|Beauregard]] "is like the big moon and I am like the small moon behind the big moon" when carrying on a ruse that Beauregard specializes in lunar research for the Colbat soul at the [[Vellum Steeple]].{{ep ref|ep=2x76|1:43:00}}

I gratefully defer the decision to a more experienced/knowledgeable editor.

You know the drill! Always take a look at character pages; Laudna and Imogen showed some new spells and some new events.

Use your judgement/seeking feedback

Crawler Gangs - page, or a mention on the Hellcatch Valley page for now?

You've probably noticed something different on the wiki - we have a shiny new look! If past experience is any guide, there are going to be a lot of tweaks needed in the coming weeks as stray things show up as issues.

Please reply to this message if you spot anything or have suggestions for further improvements once you've had a chance to play with it a bit (lighter/darker colors in places, low contrast issues, etc.).

Thanks to everyone that contributed to this latest update!

It's a LONG one today, folks! All of the party should be updated for the level up (Chetney, Fearne, and Laudna have the most significant updates here) and we got some serious Ashton lore. As always: recommendations/feedback welcome!

Hello all,

Peeping out of spring paper-writing season to post some Ruidus notes from 4-Sided Dive Ep. 2.

It seems to me that Sam, Liam, Laura, and Talison were re-hashing information. They gave a few of their theories, but I don't believe they went beyond some of the theories discussed in C3 and in the books (EGTW, TCSR, CotN). They said specifically that they were throwing out their theories—so, there is room for them to be a little inaccurate here rather than giving definitive answers on canon; though, they do offer some enticing and juicy nuances. (It was quite fun to hear their speculation on a conversation we have sustained in the wiki!)

The second question of WTF Is up with That? segment concerned Ruidus:

• Dani: Imogen's Mom is part of being researched; part of the study that was part of the study of dreams connected with Storms

• Ruidus-born: Liam: it's up for debate* whether there is a magical influence on ill-turns of fate.

• Orym's tattoo: big moon little moon. Symbols for Orym and his late half-elf husband. (See the page on Orym.)

• Liam: Chetney's lycanthropy is associated with "the moon." (Namely, Catha. Ruidus is not connected to lycanthropy. See the Catha and Ruidus pages.)

• Time, motion, space, and luck: dunamancy; but nothing moon-related.

• What if the Luxon beacons are part of the moon?

• Maybe Laudna died under the full moon of Ruidus? Sam: She did (full moon of Ruidus) in Legend of Vox Machina (See the page. I believe Matt said it is not canon in a tweet. It feels like LoVM is like the Exandria-related one-shots (excluding EXU). We can use it to color our understanding with the awareness that its status as canon is not solid.)

• Laura: Ruidus is always full but you can't quite see it. (If memory serves, I don't think this is correct [but who am I to fact check the cast haha]. See the Ruidus page. Matt has talked about the phases of Ruidus in CotN and C3x19. Although Ruidus is erratic, its phases are not due entirely to being eclipsed by Catha or the Sun.)

• A double eclipse is associated with "something special" (Laura). (See West's helpful comment below and the Ruidus page.)

• Talison: Discussed the order of the moons in the double eclipse phenomenon: which one is in front of the other.

• Ruidus is erratic and doesn't follow a set pattern (See the page; I believe this is partially accurate. See too my related comment just above regarding the phases).

In the Tower of Inquiry (Chenga) segment, Laura mentions that Matt has her take a point of damage related to her dreams (if I heard correctly).

Question from Tankard segment:

• re: lightning strikes. Laura was under the impression that the lightning strike marks grew with magic use. She wasn't aware that they were connected with the dreams. (This revelation regarding the origin of the lightning strikes came up in C3x19 I believe.)

• Figure in the dream of the red storm: Laura has no idea. Maybe Mom is evil? (Talison: evil version of Imogin?) If Imogen were to become evil? Matt and Laura: felt like Imogen would die if she didn't run into the storm.

Video game segment (courtesy of Sam):

Laura did not write that the dreams were connected to Ruidus. Matt let Laura know that her storms were red at the beginning. That's all she knew. She didn't know about the connection between the dreams until it was revealed (in C3x19).

*Ruidus-born is up for debate. Such is mentioned in CotN Intro. Nevertheless, the exposition within "The Rise and Fall of Alyxian" mentions that the gods made up the association of Ruidus with ill-omens as generating its own magical power to obscure the failure of the gods to shore up the extraplanar leakage of energy that crystallized into Ruidus during the Founding.

• At a metalevel of considering the Alyxian myth in CotN Intro as the argument of a scholar in Exandria, that could be a view that was serious in 835 PD which during the 840s is only viewed as competing. Nevertheless that is not the sense I (personally) get from the CotN text. It would seem to me that the DM is aware of this falsity of the gods and scholars are still attempting to validate the null hypothesis of Ruidus's magical association that is still current among the few Ruidus scholars of the 840s.

Looking forward to our (the community's) further exploration.

P.S. My warm thanks to all who updated the wiki after the big C3x19 Ruidus lore dump.

When the world needs hope when evil rises

Caleb: W what?

Jester: You bathe your self in water

Caleb: I know what a bath is

Fjord: Jester I don’t think you should tell people they stink

Jester: I’d want someone to tell me

Them

Hi all! This will be a quick one without links but there's a lot of work to be done, so please have at it and let me know if I missed anything!

As a reminder: this is presumed non-canonical to the campaigns despite having Mighty Nein characters.

Significant Updates/New Pages needed

Might be worth having one for Zadro Ichlen now

Also: just keeping an ear out but Estani said something about the Lumas Twins' research into something that was in the transcript as "woman Arcave" but we know the transcript for the Twitch VOD was in progress. I couldn't tell if it was "arcane", or about some kind of cave, or a person. To be updated on Monday if the transcript is fixed!

I'm sure to most people this stuff was obvious, but the latest Fandom update to our software seemed to reset all of my preferences, some of which I'd set so long ago I didn't remember they were preferences! For anyone who may be in the same boat, you may need to reset your preferred editing mode, email preferences, time zone, whether you see hidden categories, and where you're taken when you click on the words "Critical Role Wiki" on the header (it's under User Profile/Appearance/Landing page).

If anyone else has observations or tips about where to get things back to where they were, please share.

I would really want to see Gilmore's early years adventuring in Marquet, how is runechild magic first manifested, what soured his relationship with his parents, and how he came to Tal'Dorei to open his shop!
