Aishio

The **Aishio** were a culture on the island of Kalutha in the Shattered Teeth, and were considered part of the Ossended Host. They speak Ywan and Common.

## **History**

The Aishio had a hunting tradition and some level of understanding of enchantments, being able to create Raito charms to protect specific individuals, even though they weren't infallible: Iffodola and their hunting party were killed by a basalt caecilian at some point between 823 and 843 PD.

In 843 PD Bells Hells encountered an Aishio hunting party they had unintentionally lured in by activating one of their traps. They gave them the raito charm that used to belong to Iffodola, as a gesture of good faith (as well as remains of other belongings found in the caecilian's lair), receiving some information about the area in return. However, the hunters did not trust the adventurers, and urged them to resolve their affairs on Kalutha on their own and leave as soon as possible.

## **Known members**

* Iffodola, a fallen hunter, and their family:
	+ Shotas (significant other, unclear relationship)
	+ Ro, Sakagi, and Temu (children)
	+ Gyodoba (father)
* Unnamed hunter woman

## **Trivia**

* If the huntress encountered by Bells Hells can be used as an example, face markings are characteristic of this culture, and dark blue eyes are a trait present among their people.
* If the inscriptions in Iffodola's raito charm can be used as an example, the belief system of this culture includes faith in "the cycle of destruction and creation." Evontra'vir also seems to be an important part of their culture, since they leave offerings in his roots.

## **Biography**

### **Background**

“
A former slave looking for refuge in the badlands. Unlike many, Fogg made his way to Deadwood in search of peace
”

–
Official Character introduction from Critical Role
[!h]

Born as a slave, he took the opportunity during the war to escape his shackles. While fleeing, he got cornered and nearly captured again, but a sudden fog let him hide from his pursuers. That is when he decided to change his name to "Fogg". He genuinely believed that this fog was a sentient supernatural being that helped him escape out of good will and believes to recognize the same fog in the cemetery of Deadwood during episode 2. His high reputation precedes him and he gets selected into the group despite arriving to the town only recently.

Akami Rowe

**Akami Rowe** is the Guildmaster of the Navigator's Guild and the Helmswoman in the flying city of Avalir. As an NPC in Exandria Unlimited: Calamity, Akami Rowe was played by Brennan Lee Mulligan.

## **Biography**

The day before the Calamity and 10 minutes before sunrise, Akami connected with Laerryn Coramar-Seelie via *Sending* to report on the status of their flight. The city would be right above Cathmoíra and in position to start its descent sometime shortly after 1:00 in the morning and should be terrestrial about 10 minutes before sunrise.

Around 1:00 in the morning, Akami connected with Laerryn once again to report that Avalir was in position over Cathmoíra (at the intersection of all three leylines) and the automated protocol of descent had begun. She intended to stay and oversee the entire process, but began choking on her last words as she was attacked by an unknown assassin.

Aldor

Fan art of Lyra and **Aldor**, by Viktor Engholm.

**Aldor** was a member of the Slayer's Take in Vasselheim. As an NPC, he was played by Matthew Mercer.

## **Description**

### **Appearance**

Aldor was a human with short, dirty blond hair and a little bit of stubble on his chin. He carried a symbol of Erathis around his neck.

## **Biography**

### **Background**

A member of the Slayer's Take, he found his fellow bounty hunter, Lyra, had an obsessive crush on him. Lyra claimed that they slept together once.

### **"Hubris" (1x17)**

Aldor and several other members of the Slayer's Take confronted Vox Machina as they battled a hydra just outside the walls of Vasselheim. When the adventuring band slayed the beast, Aldor angrily explained the contract system of the Slayer's Take and took the group to the guild hall for further explanations and punishment.

### **"Dangerous Dealings" (1x42)**

After returning to Vasselheim following the Chroma Conclave's attack on Emon, Vox Machina saw Aldor in the Slayer's Take guild hall, playing cards with Thorbir. Aldor seemed noticeably scared and anxious when Lyra was mentioned, as if afraid that she might have been nearby.

### **"The Final Ascent" (1x113)**

During the battle at the base of Entropis in Thar Amphala, an undead Aldor was one of several corpses turned to ash by Pike's *Destroy Undead*.

## **Relationships**

### **Lyra**

When Vox Machina were going through their trials to be inducted into the Slayer's Take, Lyra had an immense, even obsessive crush on Aldor. He clearly did not reciprocate these feelings and did his best to avoid her. Once for his birthday Lyra had given him some extremely expensive (10,000 gold) reddish custom-made armor. Aldor was "very attracted" to her that night and they had intercourse.

Abyssal Anchor

Beau holding an Abyssal Anchor in Crit Recap Animated.

An **Abyssal Anchor** is a magical device used to create planar rifts connecting to the Abyss.

## **Description**

An Abyssal Anchor is composed of a silver disk inscribed with sigils with a mercury-filled glass sphere in the center that emits a dull orange glow. Four pink crystals wrapped in copper coils are placed at the disk's edge.

## **Effects**

When placed, an Abyssal Anchor slowly opens Abyssal rifts in a wide area around it.

## **History**

During The Calamity, Abyssal Anchors were used by demon generals to create rifts to the Abyss to invade various places in Exandria.

In 836 PD, the Angel of Irons cult utilized crudely constructed Abyssal Anchors created by Vence Nuthaleus to sow chaos across the Dwendalian Empire and the Kryn Dynasty. The cult took advantage of the ongoing War of Ash and Light to deflect suspicions onto sabotage by the opposing nations. The Mighty Nein found two Abyssal Anchors in the Dynasty, one within Asarius, and another in the stone giant stronghold called the Braan.

Aeorian nullifier

Official art of an aeorian nullifier, by David René.

An **Aeorian nullifier** is a variety of Aeorian hunter designed to destroy divinity.

## **Description**

An Aeorian nullifier is a humanoid creature that stands around ten to twelve feet tall. Its arms are long and almost drag the ground, ending in oversized clawed hands. A serpentine head is placed on the brownish-yellow and leathery body, with patches of orange along the arms and legs. Its chest has numerous mouths filled with fangs, which leave a dreadful impression on the timorous traveler.

Nullifiers were created during the Age of Arcanum to be the bane of all magic with their magic resistance and innate spellcasting abilities. They are immune to necrotic and radiant damage.

### **Abilities**

**Horrid Gnashing**: Each creature that starts its turn within 20 feet of the nullifier and can hear it must make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw. Unless the save succeeds, the creature rolls a d8 to determine whether it is stunned, frightened, or willing to attack anyone nearby.

**Innate Spellcasting** *(Charisma spell save DC 16)*:

* At will: *Counterspell* (to counter 4th or higher level spell, requires a contested check with DC equal to 10 + the spell’s level. Also can be used as a reaction), *Detect Magic*, *Dispel Magic*, *See Invisibility*
* 1/day: *Antimagic Field*

## **Appearances**

The Mighty Nein found a nullifier intact within its containment tube within the ruins of A2 on Foren in Eiselcross.

The Mighty Nein fought a nullifier within the Genesis Ward of Aeor.

Abdar

**Abdar** was a legendary spicemonger from Marquet who helped fund the construction of Emon, the capital city of Tal'Dorei. His name is synonymous with generosity and business savvy; Abdar's Promenade, a marketplace district in Emon, was named after him.

Alabaster Sierras

The Alabaster Sierras

**The Alabaster Sierras** mountain range extends along the perimeter of a peninsula in northeastern Tal'Dorei. These mountains surround the city of Whitestone and hold the residuum-rich whitestone that gives the city its name.

## **History**

The mountains of the Alabaster Sierras were created by the forces unleashed in a cataclysmic battle between Pelor and Tharizdun during the Calamity. This suffused the stone of the mountains, called whitestone, with latent magical energy, which can be refined to create residuum.

## **Religion**

In 812 PD, the main deity worshipped in the region is Pelor, but there are minority followings of Melora and the Raven Queen.

By 836 PD, worship of Tharizdun has grown to a minority faith as well.

Amulet of the Shield

"*You also notice that the female dwarven corpse, while devoid of any accoutrements, any coin purses, belts, or anything, does have* [...] *a pendant that is gleaming blue.*"
—Matthew Mercer introducing the Amulet of the Shield "Yug'Voril Uncovered" (1x09) at 2:12:52

The **Amulet of the Shield** was a magical amulet found by Vox Machina on the body of a female dwarf in the Underdark. On the front, it bore the insignia of House Thunderbrand of Kraghammer in sapphire. On the back, there was an inscription that read "*For Lorna, my love*". The amulet can cast the *Shield* spell once per short or long rest.

The amulet was given to Lord Steddos Thunderbrand by Vox Machina on their return to Kraghammer. His reaction to the amulet was emotional, but restrained.

Acheron Blade

* Cause a creature you hit to have disadvantage on its next saving throw. (1/Day)

## Historical Information

### Owner

Kingsley Tealeaf (rapier)

An **Acheron Blade** is a magical weapon described in the *Explorer's Guide to Wildemount*.

## **Description**

### **Appearance**

The blade is made from a black arcane alloy.

## **Features**

The sword gives a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls. It also provides immunity to effects that turn undead.

**Dark Blessing:** The bearer can receive 1d4+4 temporary hit points once per day.

**Disheartening Strike:** Once per day, the sword can be used to, on a hit, fill a creature with unsettling dread. The target then has disadvantage on the next saving throw it makes before the end of the attacker's next turn. If the creature is immune to fear it is ineffective against it.

## **History**

Kingsley Tealeaf had an Acheron Blade rapier, using its Dark Blessing property to bolster himself in combat against the minions of Uk'otoa.

### Stream

Specials (1 episode)

**Adelaide Bluebutton** was the grandmother of Devan Bluebutton. As an NPC, she was played by the Dungeon Master, Liam O'Brien, in "Critical Role Extra – The Return of Liam!" (Sx15).

## **Intro**

"*This is Adelaide Bluebutton, better known as the Shrew. Adelaide is a rather successful businesswoman here in Emon. She buys and sells exotic curiosities from all the far-flung corners of the world, mostly on the black market. Oh, and she's really good at money laundering, too, which the Clasp would know; they've used her extensively in the past. Had a bit of a falling-out in recent months, though. The Clasp invited her to join them, but Adelaide wasn't interested, and with her business growing the way it was-- well, the Clasp prefers people they can control. And by the way, if you're by any chance wondering how she came by the moniker "The Shrew," she earned it. Bluebutton is as mean a son of a bitch as you will ever meet. A visiting merchant once tried to get the drop on her and steal her wares. She ripped his arms off without lifting a finger. But a mark is a mark, and Spireling Shenn wants something specific. Earlier this year, Adelaide acquired an emerald as big as a cantaloupe: Tagmut's Eye. Priceless. That is a substantial amount of capital that the Clasp could bend to its purposes. That's where these guys come in.*"

Aeorian absorber

Official art of an aeorian absorber, by David René.

An **Aeorian absorber** is a variety of Aeorian hunter designed to destroy divinity.

## **Description**

An Aeorian absorber is a quadrupedal panther-like creature the size of a horse. It has heavy claws and canine teeth proportionately longer than that of a cat, but too small to be considered saber teeth. The most distinctive feature of an Aeorian absorber is the long red tail that also serves as an eye stalk for a lidless red eye at its end. It has a weirdly colorful patterned body with elements of maroon and teal.

When the absorber takes damage from a spell, it takes only half the damage. The other half is reflected back at the caster unless they succeed on a dexterity saving throw. It is immune to necrotic and radiant damage.

## **Appearances**

The Mighty Nein found an absorber intact within its containment tube within the ruins of A2 on Foren in Eiselcross. Later, they battled a pair of absorbers within the ruins of Aeor, along with a reverser.

Andica

**Andica** was a historical figure of the Menagerie Coast.

She was originally the wife of a local lord or chief, and she was remembered because she made a great sacrifice. However, their story has been altered and popularized in plays and retellings, and by 831 PD, there were plays about the couple represented in both the Greying Wildlands and the Dwendalian Empire; in those stories she was a vain queen, the wife of King Daldred, and when the evil Taeleron the Cleaver demanded her death in order to spare the kingdom, the peasants believed that Andica would never choose them over herself, but the queen, in a noble sacrifice, took her own life; the tragedy ended with Daldred lamenting his loss.

## **Trivia**

* It is not confirmed that her historical name was Andica, but since Daldred's real name was remembered, it's very possible that hers was as well.
	+ Her name seems to come from *Andika*, an Hungarian nickname of *Andrea*, which means "manly" in Greek. Alternatively, it could also come from *andika*, which means "command" or "decree" in Old Javanese.
* Lucien Tavelle's family performed Daldred's tragedy before Elric's death, and they did again at least once after the eldest child was brought back by Azrahari. Both Lucien and Aldreda thought that the story should end with Andica's sacrifice, since she was more interesting than Daldred, but their parents disagreed.
* In a puppet show in Rexxentrum Andica was portrayed as a maiden in white with long raven hair. She described herself as a woman with perfect heart-shaped face, and lean, strong limbs.

Arabella Whitlock

Official art of Arabella Whitlock, by Kent Davis.

**Arabella Whitlock** is an avid fan of the occult who came to Deadwood after her sister's passing. She is played by Marisha Ray.

## **Description**

### **Appearance**

Arabella has pale, freckled skin and long red hair. The residents of Deadwood are able to ascertain from her appearance that she comes from wealth. She wears a bowler hat with a blue ribbon and flower, a brown dress of heavy fabric, and black leather gloves. Around her neck is a chain holding a tear catcher.

### **Personality**

Arabella is well-educated, private, dutiful, and curious about both scientific and magical knowledge, including chemistry, alchemy, and the occult.

She performs her position as the wife of her former brother-in-law with a sense of duty, expressing that she married him for the sake of her family's fortune, despite their mutual lack of interest in each other. She is careful to stick to the accepted modest behavior of married women at the time. While she has become used to the idea that she is "an object for men," she also speaks out against derogatory and patronizing comments she overhears about herself.

Arabella is loath to talk about the circumstances that brought her to Deadwood, and when pressed to do so, answers with a tight-lipped smile.

She is pragmatic, and does not appear to hold any belief in God, countering the Reverend's suggestion that she was blessed by God with intelligence by saying instead that she was "blessed with money," which can buy an education. She does, however, believe in the occult, and approaches her research of this subject with the same scientific inquiry with which she treats the physical sciences.

## **Biography**

### **Background**

“
After her sister passed away, Arabella married her widower brother-in-law and is trying to begin a new life. An avid reader and student of the occult, astrology and the world's mysteries, the newlywed Mrs. Whitlock comes to Deadwood looking for answers...and closure.

Excerpt from the Fourth Astural Scroll
[edit]

The **Astural Scrolls** are the writings of Clemain Astural, a powerful arcanist from the Age of Arcanum.

## **Description**

The Astural Scrolls are thousands of pages filled with histories, alchemical formulas, star charts, and spells created by Clemain Astural. The second scroll contains the method of contacting Astural's otherworldy patron, The Sightless, and the fourth scroll recounts the creation of Exandria.

## **History**

Clemain Astural recorded his knowledge and life within this vast collection of scrolls. When he contacted The Sightless, he recorded its first words to him and how he relinquished his own sight to his patron in exchange for power. After being driven mad by The Sightless' influence, Astural's later scrolls recorded his paranoid ramblings.

When Atz Yuminor defeated Astural, he collected as many of Astural's scrolls as he could and brought them back to his home in the Dividing Plains. By 836 PD, Yuminor's descendant Estella Ladimar and the Scions of Yuminor still keeps these scrolls within the observatory of Westhall Academy in Westruun, the second scroll being kept within a secret vault.

Many of the Astural Scrolls remain lost, one of which was looted from Astural's lair of Wrettis by the spirit naga Maledicta Hexos, who gained "uncanny cosmic powers" from the scroll and plans to use it to take over the Verdant Expanse.
