Previously on Critical Role
"Vox Machina, in their attempt to take down the Chroma Conclave, have slain three of the five dragons and have made a tentative alliance with a fourth—Raishan, the Diseased Deceiver—in the hopes of taking down the fifth and most powerful master of the entire Conclave, Thordak the Cinder King, who currently resides over the now elementally-corrupt city of Emon. The ground itself is beginning to boil and crack with fire elemental energy.

"They all sit within Whitestone, deciding upon the coming rush to the final battle, considering what allies they have at their disposal, what locations they want to put this battle in. They've had these conversations, they've revealed Raishan to the rest of their allies within Whitestone, and they previously spoke about taking this to Fort Daxio, to the north of Emon."
