Critical Role Takes The Age of Umbra Into The Sallowlands This July
The Halcyon Domain is a bleak realm, rotting in the wake of its Pantheon's abandonment, where ancient wonders now crumble slowly into ruin. The Sallowlands region expands upon the campaign frame from the Daggerheart Core Set: A once-vibrant lake of the Old World now lies sunken and barren, a canyon desert of swirling dust storms and desperate communities holding fast to the light. Against this ghastly backdrop, a new tale is told, when a surprising development sends a group of outcasts and survivors off the edges of the map in search of answers.

Age of Umbra showcases a darker tone of Daggerheart that some players may want to explore and make their own, standing in contrast to the bright whimsy of The Menagerie one-shots and the holiday themes set in the 1980's of A Daggerheart Critmas Story. This series dives into the system's more haunting and heroic potential, where stakes are high, and every choice brings danger tinged with hope.
