Critical Role’s Age of Umbra Sallowlands is a story of grief and lost community
Critical Role has launched Age of Umbra: Sallowlands, a new miniseries set within the Daggerheart campaign setting. The story unfolds in a world that was abandoned by the gods, forcing it to transform into a dark and treacherous landscape where survival is a constant struggle. Despite the grim circumstances, there remains a beacon of hope: rumors of a mysterious metropolis filled with life and magic that has appeared in the uncharted region known as the Sallowlands.
The narrative follows five adventurers who embark on an expedition into this dangerous frontier, driven by reports of this fabled city. The miniseries premiered on July 9, featuring actor Vico Ortiz in the role of Caguama, a galapa seraph character. Ortiz has provided commentary on what audiences should expect from both her character and the broader Sallowlands experience as the series begins.
This venture represents Critical Role’s continued expansion within the Daggerheart universe, building upon their established presence in this campaign setting. The abandonment of the Halcyon Domain by divine forces establishes a foreboding tone that shapes the exploration and mystery the adventuring party will encounter as they venture into uncharted territory.
