Dark Horse Books and Critical Role has revealed that the previously announced book Critical Role: The Chronicles of Exandria—The Mighty Nein Part Two will also be available for collectors in a stunning Deluxe Edition in early 2025. Written by Dani Carr and adorned with a beautiful cover by artist Helen Mask with designer Cindy Cacerez-Sprague, this volume was created in collaboration with Matthew Mercer and the Critical Role team, as well as Critter community artists.
The saga of Exandria’s famous adventurers continues in this second collection of art, narrative, and lore from the cast of Critical Role and the Critter community! The Chronicles of Exandria: The Mighty Nein Part Two follows Critical Role’s Mighty Nein campaign from their adventures in Xhorhas to encounters with the Kryn and the Bright Queen, to discoveries at the Cinderrest Sanctum and in the belly of a behemoth, all the way to events at the Whitedawn Lagoon and beyond.
The Deluxe Edition will include a foil-stamped, debossed hardcover with spine ribs and a ribbon marker, a triptych-style portfolio with a lithograph by Hannah Freidrichs, a coin from the Kryn Dynasty featuring an image of the Bright Queen presented with a velvet pouch, a die-cut and faux leather foil-stamped bookmark, and a foil-stamped envelope containing: five postcards featuring art from inside the book, a Marquis Party invitation, fliers for Brenatto’s Apothecary and Blooming Grove Tea by Helen Mask, Beacon Research Notes and the Xhorhaus Floorplan by Hunter Severn Bonyun, and a Willi Blueprint by Fernando Heinz Furukawa. All items will be housed within an intricate clamshell package inspired by Iva Deshin, proprietor of Chastity’s Nook.
