### **Points of interest**

Ruins of Molaesmyr

The **Boreal Omen River** is in the Greying Wildlands and runs from the Ivory Lake through the Savalirwood, past the ruins of the ancient elven city of Molaesmyr, and into the Frigid Depths. The waters of the river are freezing cold but contain fish.

## **History**

Part of Bells Hells reached the river on their journey between Uthodurn and Molaesmyr and decided to raft down it to speed their journey. Along the way they encountered and killed a bog wretch.

## **References**

Barren Shores

The **Barren Shores** are a set of dark pebble beaches adjacent to the Cyrios Mountains in Wildemount. The beaches are inhabited by monstrous crustacean creatures, as well as a number of cults. Popular with adventurers and historians, the Barren Shores are the subject of a number of legends and theories, such as a possible connection to the Pallid Grove, its formation caused by an ancient being of great strength who pulverized the edge of the Cyrios Mountains to form the beaches, and another ancient being having been released into the Frigid Depths when the Cyrios Mountains were sundered.

One point of interest on the Barren Shores is the haunted wreckage of a smuggler's ship onshore.

## **Behind the scenes**

The Barren Shores first appeared in the "Wildemount Gazetteer" of the sourcebook *Explorer's Guide to Wildemount*, written by Matthew Mercer, Chris Lockey, James Introcaso, and James Haeck. So far, it has not been mentioned or referenced onstream.

Augen Trust

The **Augen Trust** is the Dwendalian crown's spy network. It is in some ways a competitive force with The Cobalt Soul, in that they frequently butt heads, often finding themselves in similar spaces going for similar information, but for different reasons. The Augen Trust are very competitive and tense about achieving their own unique ends. The Augen Trust and the Volstrucker network also check each other's power, despite nominally being on the same side.

When the Empire and the Cerberus Assembly were searching for Vence Nuthaleus, Martinet Ludinus Da'leth told the Mighty Nein that the investigations were being handled by both the Augen Trust and members of the Assembly.

The secret head of the Augen Trust is Oliver Schreiber.

## **Trivia**

* "Augen" is the Zemnian (German) word for "eyes."
* Matt had a story planned for the case in which the Mighty Nein had chosen to work with the Empire at the start of the War of Ash and Light. Had they pursued that option, they would have begun working closely with the Augen Trust, collaborating with their agents as mercenaries, and even having the chance to meet with Oliver Schreiber (who would have been played by Matthew Colville).

Beven

**Beven** is a member of the Shadewatch and a resident of Jorenn Village.

## **Description**

### **Appearance**

Beven is described as "a middle aged woman [...] with short-cropped blond hair and piercing green eyes".

### **Personality**

Beven is loyal to Shademaster Derowen and cautious about "court[ing] unreasonable danger."

## **Biography**

### **Kith & Kin**

Around 807 PD, Beven was a guard in Jorenn Village's Shadewatch. On at least one excursion, she and a few other guards were assigned to accompany Vex'ahlia in her search for her brother Vax'ildan.

Several days later, Beven was among the group of Shadewatch guards who entered the mines to attempt to capture Thorn, the leader of the miners. She led one of at least two squads of guards. Vex'ahlia heard Beven telling her squad to retreat, due to the ash walkers, but Derowen ordered them to keep pushing through. She was later listed among the deceased members of the Shadewatch, alongside Nari, Olfa, and others.

*The Mighty Nein Origins: Mollymauk Tealeaf*

**Bosun**, also known as **Bo the Breaker**, is a half-orc member of The Fletching and Moondrop Traveling Carnival of Curiosities. As an NPC, Bo is played by Matthew Mercer.

## **Description**

### **Appearance**

Bosun is a tall, masculine half-orc man with a well-groomed handlebar mustache that curves out to the sides. He wears a billowing white silk shirt and black trousers.

## **Biography**

### **Background**

When Lestera died Bosun cried a lot, although he mentioned hers was the happiest corpse he had ever seen, which cheered up his friends a bit.

Bo the Breaker accompanied the carnival to Nogvurot between 834 and the first half of 835 PD, when Molly scammed a lawmaster who was scamming his own people; he and the Fire Fairy performed for the locals.

### **"Curious Beginnings" (2x01)**

Bosun was seen playing drums and pulling Kylre into the performance tent. He also told the party that they would find out why people called him "The Breaker" during the show. This suggests he did more than just play drums during his performance.

### **"A Show of Scrutiny" (2x02)**

Bosun was brought before Lawmaster Norda alongside the rest of the carnival and the Mighty Nein. He protested when Gustav Fletching attempted to take sole responsibility for the attack, but was shut down. He and Gustav were then moved into cells within the Stockade.

### **"Disparate Pieces" (2x04)**

After the circus was disbanded, Bosun, Ornna and Toya decided to leave together and create their own show. Gustav bequeathed to them whatever equipment they needed to do so.

Black sap

**Black sap** is a tarry contraband substance found in Blightshore, harvested from the dark boughs of the death's head willow, and is a powerful intoxicant.

## **Properties**

Balan

**Balan** is a young dwarven employee at the Iron Hearth Tavern in Kraghammer.  As an NPC, Balan is played by Matthew Mercer.

## **Description**

### **Appearance**

Balan was wearing an apron when he met Vox Machina.

## **Biography**

### **"Arrival at Kraghammer" (1x01)**

Adra called Balan over to show Vox Machina where Greyspine manner was. He lead them outside and to the edge of the outer walkway of the ring of Kraghammer they were in. Balan pointed across the way to where a series of marble pillars were outlining what looked like a residential district. He gave them directions to House Greyspine, telling them it was the house with dark black marble tinted with gold, a wrought iron black gate topped with pikes, and a statue of Ironkeeper Gradim Greyspine in the front yard.

Scanlan thanked Balan for his helpfulness. The dwarf then requested that he fill out a form saying how helpful he had been. Vox Machina gladly accepted, so Balan handed over a single piece of handwritten parchment. Tiberius requested that they each be given one to fill out, but Balan only had the one.

Keyleth and Percy spent the rest of the day making some more comment cards for him.  Vox Machina later filled out the homemade cards and turned them in for Balan. Percy and Keyleth also made a few extras for him to hand out to other.

Azuremite

Fan art of azuremite in the Crystalfen Caverns, by Ambrosia Jensen.

**Azuremite** is a blue crystal formed from millennia of psychic energies near element deposits.

## **Properties**

Fine azuremite powder can bring about visions and other psychic faculties.

## **History**

Explorers of the Crystalfen Caverns discovered veins of blue crystal called azuremite, which formed due to thousands of years of exposure to psychic energies from the aberrations that lived there before the Divergence. When the crystal is mined and refined, it can also produce a drug. Near Yug'Voril there are veins of blue crystal matching the description of azuremite, but Vox Machina couldn't identify it at the time.

Scanlan Shorthalt traded a blue crystal that Vox Machina had used to "carve through dimensions" to the Clasp in exchange for access to Riskel Daxio. It is unknown if this crystal was azuremite, but it was sufficiently powerful that the Clasp agreed to the trade.

## **Behind the scenes**

In the original *Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting* sourcebook, azuremite is said to be one of two substances that can be refined into the drug suude (the other being residuum), which can enhance spellcasting. However, in the *Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn*, fine azuremite powder can still bring about visions and other psychic faculties, but it is no longer described as a form of suude.

Benathar

**Benathar** is a powerful mage apparently defeated by Beauregard Lionett and Caleb Widogast as well as potentially other members of the Mighty Nein between Campaign Two and Campaign Three (between 836 and 843 PD).

## **Biography**

All that is known of Benathar is from an offhand comment by Beauregard, when Caleb mentioned that many powerful mages feared Ludinus Da'leth. Beauregard responded, "Oh bullshit! We fucked up Halas. We fucked up Trent. We fucked up Benathar. Just another mage to add to the tally. Right? Just mark another tally piece."

Boots of Elvenkind

Depiction of Boots of Elvenkind, by Conceptopolis.

### **Properties**

Grants the wearer soundless footsteps and advantage on stealth checks requiring silent movement.

## Historical Information

### Owners

* Kima of Vord (temporarily)
* Pike Trickfoot
* Doty
* Chetney Pock O'Pea

**Boots of Elvenkind** are magical boots that allow the wearer to move silently, regardless of the surface on which they walk. Mechanically, this grants the wearer advantage on stealth checks that rely on not being heard while moving. The boots found in Thordak's lair were of very fine elven design, crafted out of dark green leather with a silver or platinum scrolling along the edges, almost like leaves and branches that tangle in towards the front of the foot.

## **History**

Vox Machina recovered a pair of Boots of Elvenkind from Thordak's lair. The boots were given to Pike, but almost immediately lent to Kima for the imminent battle against Raishan. Kima returned the boots to Pike after the battle.

Doty owned his own pair of boots, which Tary bought for him at some point during Vox Machina's year of rest. He used them as the party was investigating the Vecna cultists at the Ziggurat in the Smouldercrown Mountains.

Chetney Pock O'Pea also had a pair of these boots.

Ashkeeper Peaks

Fan art of the Ashkeeper Peaks, by Camilla Kipp.

The **Ashkeeper Peaks** make up the mountain chain running through the center of the continent of Wildemount.

## **Description**

The range bisects the continent's central region of Wynandir, with the Dwendalian Empire ruling the lands on the western side and the eastern side forming the region of Xhorhas. Once, the Peaks were contiguous with the Dunrock Mountains to the north, but during the final battles of The Calamity, two passes were created, separated by the Brokenveil Bluffs. As of 835 PD these passes were guarded on the south by the Ashguard Garrison and on the north by the Rockguard Garrison.

The southern base of the mountains is dominated on the southwest by the massive green Quoraska Jungle, and on the southeast by the Lotusden Greenwood.

Cities along the Ashkeeper Peaks on the Dwendalian side often request additional Crownsguard to be stationed as protection from the monsters who come down from the mountains. The treacherous nature of the peaks has made them an effective natural barrier to imperial expansion, and the civilizations within the mountains are mostly underground, in the Underdark and in a hidden fire giant society.

## **Notable Places**

### **Ashguard Garrison**

*Main article: Ashguard Garrison*
The Ashguard Garrison is an outpost on the south side of the Brokenveil Bluffs, meant to guard the frontier of the Dwendalian Empire from incursions from Xhorhas.

### **Verstglade**

*Main article: Verstglade*
The Verstglade is a valley in the southern Ashkeeper Peaks, and once served as a laboratory for Vecna during the Age of Arcanum.

### **Fire giant citadel**

Deep beneath the Ashkeeper Peaks is a fortress held by fire giants.

## **Trivia**

* At some point before 585 PD Ludinus Da'leth marked a specific location within the Ashkeeper Peaks that was apparently a miniature fey fane, connected to a fey bound to nature (perhaps a dryad), which could potentially be used by him in order to "feed the root" and empower a special harness with the magic of the area.

Badran Esparad

## Stats

**Badran Esparad** was the captain of the Golden Scythe guild of Avalir. As an NPC, Badran Esparad was played by Brennan Lee Mulligan.

## **Biography**

As a part of his duties to the Golden Scythe, Captain Badran was responsible for transmitting a payment to the mercenary group the "Stormbringers", who had helped the guild on the coast of Issylra. He was told by the guildmaster Nydas Okiro to forestall their payment until just after the Replenishment, as the guild was experiencing a cash flow problem. Before this, the Captain had arranged a fireworks show for Nydas, involving the students of the Sorcerer's University.

When the growing chaos of the Calamity took over the streets of the city of Avalir, Badran, several sailor-marines of the Harvest Moon, Alessander Kyrus, and Daenyria barricaded themselves in the Vault of the Golden Scythe. When Guildmaster Nydas arrived, he conveyed to him a message from the Ring of Gold that required the ships of the guild at the top of the city to evacuate the wealthy and elite of Avalir. When Nydas refused, in favor of the more vulnerable populace, Badran and Alessander then suggested they take care of the gold in their vault. However, Nydas denied its value in the face of the global disaster and continued to insist on saving anyone they could, flying as far as they could from both Avalir and Vasselheim.

As soon as Nydas finished speaking and turned to deal with other matters, Badran, caring more about the guild's gold then people, stabbed him in the back, piercing through his stomach. In retribution, Nydas stabbed him three times in succession and let Sha'korzhan deal the final blow.

## **Appearances and mentions**

* Exandria Unlimited: Calamity
	+ "Excelsior" (E3x01) (first appearance)
	+ "Fire and Ruin" (E3x04)

## **Quotations**

* "You've lost your mind. At the beginning of time, the gods made all the gold there ever will be. There will always be more people."- Badran's words when he stabbed Nydas in the back
* **Nydas**: "Badran, you are a pirate and I respect you, but Avalir comes before any oath I made in a past life."

Azgrah

Fan art of Azgrah, by Bunnymauk.

**Azgrah**, also known as **the Lord of the Deep Dwelling**, is an extremely old and powerful duergar champion who is adored in the Emberhold and the surrounding Underdark.

## **Description**

### **Personality**

Azgrah has become reclusive and isolationist with the years, although it is said that he still cares about the Emberhold, and would come to help if the city really needed him.

## **Biography**

### **Background**

Azgrah was once a mighty duergar warrior. When he was in his prime he completed six heroic labors that are remembered and told in songs even now. His adventures included courting Prince Lhebeno and fighting the Amber Worm, a creature sent by Torog to punish the impiety of the present queen of the Emberhold.

All those deeds made Azgrah incredibly popular among his people, to the point that even most of the followers of the Crawling King preferred the mortal champion over the betrayer god. With the adoration came power, and Azgrah gained strength and longevity, to a point when he started to lend his power to others in the form of magical gifts.

By 836 PD Azgrah is still alive, and extremely old. He spends his time in a temple in the tunnels left by the Amber Worm, where he sees only his most trusted warlocks, that are the ones who take care of him. For the rest of the people he is worshipped as the Lord of the Deep Dwelling, and he's seen as a figure that will come if the Emberhold ever needs him, reuniting in his person the power he has been lending to others until now.

## **Known Worshipers**

* A huge part of the Emberhold population

## **Trivia**

* While his exact age is unknown, he's considered very old, even by dwarven standards, so he's probably more than 350 years old.
* The fact he was romantically involved with a prince shows he has some level of attraction towards his same gender.
* Azgrah shares many similarities with Laduguer, being a duergar who accomplished many feats and is worshiped like a god.
	+ Azgrah may be considered Exandria's equivalent of Laduguer, with Laduguer's mention in Campaign One being an artifact of the early game and lore. It is also possible that Azgrah, being considered an iconoclast, is taking attributions related to the duergar deity, thus attacking his cult in the process.

Bracers of Defense

Depiction of Bracers of Defense.

The **Bracers of Defense** are a set of wristwear that gives a +2 bonus to AC if the wearer is using neither armor nor a shield.

## **History**

Grog Strongjaw had a pair of bracers of defense which were found on Delilah Briarwood's body after she was killed by Cassandra de Rolo.

The wizard who accompanied Anna Ripley had a set of bracers of defense; Vox Machina claimed them from his body after the battle on the Isle of Glintshore.

Beauregard Lionett purchased bracers of defense from The Invulnerable Vagrant, and wore them throughout the campaign. Yasha Nydoorin commissioned a similar set of bracers from Wursh, who then outsourced the enchantment. She picked them up some time later, but did not immediately equip them as she was wearing the Tuskborn Breastplate of Reprisal.

Belt of Momentum

### **Properties**

Additional damage and 15-foot push to a creature hit by the wearer after moving 25 feet

## Historical Information

### Owners

* Yunis
* Ashton Greymoore

The **Belt of Momentum** is a thick leather cross between a belt and a girdle with two strips along the side and a thicker piece of leather affixed to it. When the wearer moves more than 25 feet in a straight line and hits a huge or smaller creature, the creature takes additional damage and on a failed save is pushed 15 feet away.

## **History**

Bells Hells bought the belt from Yunis in Bassuras after Jiana Hexum recommended they check with him for items to help them in their quest to destroy the Malleus Key. The belt was originally priced at 2500 gold pieces, although the party received a discount due to the number of items they purchased.

Archdevil

Archdevils are the rulers of the Nine Hells. They each control one of the nine hells and are the most powerful and highest-ranking devils. Some of them were angels who followed Asmodeus and joined the Blood War. Unlike the demon lords of the Abyss, the Lords of the Nine Hells are arranged in a strict hierarchy. The lord of the first layer has the lowest rank of the nine archdevils, while the lord of the ninth and deepest layer, Nessus, has the highest rank. While the demons of the Abyss answered only to their own basic instincts, every single devil, at least in theory, answered to the Lord of the Ninth, Asmodeus. Every archdevil is a unique being with an appearance that reflects its particular evil nature.

One of the Arms of the Betrayers was created by Asmodeus: the Mace of the Black Crown. One of the few proposed ways to destroy one of the Arms of the Betrayers is to bathe it in the ichor of an archdevil.

## **Known Archdevils**

* Lord of the Ninth: Asmodeus, the Lord of the Hells
* Lady of the First: Zariel, the Archduchess of Avernus
* Lord of the Second: Dispater, The Iron Duke of Dis
* Lady of the Fourth: Fierna, the ruler of Phlegethos

Bead of Nourishment

“
Just one a day. I know they look small. You will regret if you have even two. It will fill your colon like a stone.
”

–
Caleb Widogast
[!h]

**Beads of Nourishment** are magical rations. The Mighty Nein often calls them "boba".

## **Description**

Beads of Nourishment are spongy, flavorless, gelatinous beads that dissolve on the tongue. One bead provides as much nourishment as a day of rations.

## **History**

The Mighty Nein found a jar full of Beads of Nourishment in Halas Lutagran's study in the Happy Fun Ball, and Caleb later *Identified* them as food that lasts a long time.

The party consumed some while with the stone giants at the Deepriver Mining Camp and used them to feed the moorbounders and themselves while crossing the Barbed Fields.. Some of them also had them for breakfast in the Cinderrest Sanctum. Caleb gave some to the Allowak yeti the party encountered in Eiselcross, and to Iver Climtaver at the Aeorian ruins at A-2.

## **Trivia**

* “Boba” is a drink that originated in small tea shops in Taiwan during the 1980s, and refers to the tiny, chewy black balls at the bottom of the drink made from tapioca. The actual drink is tea mixed with milk and flavoring.

Bloodwell Vial

Fan art of the Bloodwell Vial, by BubbleQuartz.

A **bloodwell vial** is a vial of blood that can be used as a spellcasting focus and buff for sorcerers.

## **Description**

The bloodwell vial from the Trove of Marwa is a small glass vial with blood in it. In order to attune to it, the sorcerer using it must add a few drops of their own blood to the vial, and then cannot open it while the attunement lasts. When attuned, the sorcerer gains a bonus to their spell attack rolls and saving throw DCs for their sorcerer spells, with rarer vials granting higher bonuses. Additionally, when the sorcerer regains HP via hit dice while attuned, they can also regain 5 sorcery points. This can be done once per day.

Laudna stated that casting the spell *Wither and Bloom* allowed the recovery of all sorcerer points, but Matt silently gestured that it's only 5 Sorcery points. Your sorcery point total is limited to your sorcerer level, so for Laudna at this point it would recover all her sorcery points (up to her max of 4), but not all of Imogen's.

## **History**

Marwa Endalia had a +1 vial in her shop that she had obtained from a witch who lived in the jungles of the Oderan Wilds. She mentioned it when the soon-to-be-named Bells Hells first came into the Trove of Marwa but was unable to find it, and told them she'd clean up the shop and they could come back later. Laudna returned in a few days and purchased the vial.

Imogen took the vial from Laudna while she was dead, and when Laudna was returned to life she insisted that Imogen keep it, saying Imogen would now get more use out of it.

Dariax Zaveon had acquired a vial by the time his party did a heist in "Exandria Unlimited: Kymal, Part 2" (E2x02).

Black King

“
May the Lawbearer grant us all strength of spirit when chaos next threatens our peaceful civilization. When that time comes, may the Black King unsheathe his sword to rally our people and lead Westruun to victory.
”

–
The Blessing of the Black King, speech given by the high priest of Erathis at the First Bastion
[edit]

The **Black King** is the name of a statue of Westruun's founder Palest Westruun, mockingly named after the black dragon Umbrasyl, who briefly conquered Westruun during the Chroma Crisis. Both Westruun and the Black King statue were blessed by a High Priest of the Lawbearer when it was unveiled on the one-year anniversary of Westruun's freedom — when the city is threatened, the statue is supposed to animate into a stone golem and defend the people of Westruun.

## **Character information**

### **Equipment**

* **Sword:** The Black King is equipped with a sword.
* **Mount:** The statue is set upon a mount.

### **Abilities**

* **Enhanced physiology:** In addition to the standard statistics of a stone golem, the Black King has a mounted movement speed of 60 feet and enhanced Intelligence and Charisma scores of 18.
