Genesis Lunar Biome - Critical Role Region Names

[Tyrannosaur219]

So, I was browsing the wiki in my spare time while away from home, and while looking through the regions for the new map, I found a few in the Lunar biome with some interesting names. I went to verify this as soon as I got home, and amazingly, it would seem that the plucky band of heroes known as Vox Machina now have a place in the virtual stars.

For those who are unaware, Critical Role is a weekly Dungeons & Dragons stream, hosted by a group of friends that are also well-known voice actors, that has gained widespread popularity in recent years, to the point of having a massively successful kickstarter campaign to fund the production of an animated series based on the adventures of characters from their first season (which will be releasing later this year).

It would seem that there are a few fans of the show amongst Wildcard’s development team, because several of the asteroid islands that form the regions of the Lunar biome are titled after the characters that appeared in the climactic final boss fight of the first season of the show - Arkhan, Devo’ssa, Grog, Kashaw, Keyleth, Pike, Percy, Scanlan, Trinket, Vax’ildan, Vex’ahlia, and Zahra; even the ascended lich-god that served as the final enemy of the campaign gets his own quadruplet of island regions in Upper, Middle, and Lower Vecna, as well as Vecna’s Realm. Sadly, the islands seem to lack any features that further link them to their namesakes, if only at first glance, but it does nothing to detract from this cool little set of references.

As a fan of both the series and this game, I find this to be just one of the coolest little Easter eggs I’ve found in a game thus far; and I just wanted to share it with those who may not yet know - critters and non-fans alike.

Until next time: Is it Thursday Yet?

If true that's cool. I watch Critical Role sometimes. Good call out.
