"In Ruins" (1x41)[]
In the aftermath of the Chroma Conclave's attack on Emon, Vox Machina learned from Gilmore that Tofor Brotoras survived the attack, and Empress Salda Tal'Dorei mentioned that she was helping survivors.[6]
"What Lies Beneath the Surface" (1x81)[]
Tofor briefly appears, bringing in troops to secure the area around Thordak's lair.
Before and during Campaign Two[]
Tofor was still on the Tal'Dorei Council as of 836 PD.[7] Though some Emonian merchants wanted to bring the Mornset Countryside into the Republic, and there was mixed sentiment among the Mornset's Free Folk and the Orroyen tribes for Emon's assistance in warding off the Iron Authority, Tofor warned the rest of the Council against provoking that militaristic empire, which had long been distracted by its attempts to conquer the hostile Rifenmist Jungle.[8]
Campaign Three[]
After the apogee solstice of 843 PD, when an international alliance was formed between different countries to work against the Ruby Vanguard, Tofor was sent to the Tishtan excavation site as heraldry of the Tal'Dorei Council. During her time as part of the alliance she worked with some Ruidusborn that eventually left to go to Ruidus, forgetting their previous duties.[9]
When Allura Vysoren brought Bells Hells with her to the Red Center, Tofor noted they were a motley crew but welcomed them regardless; however, when it was revealed that Imogen Temult and Fearne Calloway were Ruidusborn themselves, the dragonborn became cautious, due to her previous experience with those born under the light of the red moon. Earthbreaker Groon calmed things down by declaring he trusted the adventurers.[10]
Relationships[]
Tiberius Stormwind[]
Due to the history of institutional and tail-based slavery in Draconia, Tofor had a negative attitude toward red dragonborn Tiberius Stormwind. In response, Tiberius took an insolent and demeaning attitude toward Tofor.
Allura Vysoren[]
Tofor has known and worked with the arcanist for decades. Despite this, there seem to be some tension between them, since they teased each other about their respective choices of adventurers to have as allies.[11]
