The storyline of the second season of The Legend of Vox Machina begins immediately after the ending of the first season. "After saving the realm from evil and destruction at the hands of the most terrifying power couple in Exandria, Vox Machina is faced with saving the world once again—this time, from a sinister group of dragons known as the Chroma Conclave."[1]
Their story will take them on a voyage of discovery, not only to uncover the long-hidden Vestiges of Divergence with which to battle the Conclave, but also to face the deepest insecurities and fears within themselves.
