Media chronology


 * This page is about the chronological order of released Critical Role media set in Exandria. You may be looking for the Time Line, which lists all known events of the Critical Role universe in chronological order.

Vox Machina Origins Volume 1
Vex'ahlia, Vax'ildan, Scanlan, Grog, Keyleth and Tiberius cross paths in Stilben as they investigate shady business going on in the town and the neighboring swamp. Together, they take down Iselda, a member of the Myriad.

Vox Machina Origins Volume 2
The group leaves Stilben in search of Grog, who disappears overnight. They meet Pike and her great-great-grand-father in Westruun and save Grog from a lich, and later meet Percy as they look for components for a ritual to remove a phylactery implanted within Grog's chest.

Winter's Crest Festival
Vox Machina attends the Winter's Crest festival in Westruun and enjoy the festivities, until a giant egg hatches and reveals a nude woman who freezes the festival over.

This retelling of Vox Machina's adventures covers events spanning from the initial meeting of the members of Vox Machina in Stilben to their departure for Kraghammer. This summary covers the events of the Vox Machina Origins and Winter's Crest Festival comics, albeit with minor differences, and so overlaps with them in the chronology. The other events recalled include their battle with the white dragon Skysunder; their initial meeting with Syldor Vessar in Emon; their adventures within the city's underground river system; their meeting with Allura Vysoren; their encounter with the blue dragon Brimscythe; their fight against the glabrezu controlling the King's family; Pike's death and resurection; their fight against the Dread Emperor; and the construction of Greyskull Keep.
