Critical Role Age of Umbra characters explained: Classes, species, and players
Critical Role announces Age of Umbra: Sallowlands, a new gothic miniseries set in the Daggerheart tabletop RPG system. The premiere episode features cast members Laura Bailey, Jennifer English, Abubakar Salim, Vico Ortiz, and Zachery Renauldo playing Sister Dillwyn and her companion Badger, Caguama, Alphonse, and Mercy respectively, with Matthew Mercer serving as Dungeon Master.
The campaign takes place in the Halcyon Domain, a godless and despair-ridden setting established with a distinctly darker tone compared to Critical Role’s previous campaigns. The show’s visual aesthetic draws comparisons to Elden Ring, with character designs and atmosphere suggesting a particularly eerie and unsettling presentation. The gothic styling sets this miniseries apart within Critical Role’s streaming content catalog.
This marks another expansion beyond Critical Role’s traditional D&D-based campaigns, demonstrating the company’s growing embrace of alternative tabletop systems. Age of Umbra: Sallowlands showcases the creative possibilities within Daggerheart and the cast’s willingness to explore new mechanics and storytelling approaches.
