Written by Rachel on May 12, 2020
We’re so excited to share additional information about our newest art book, The Chronicles of Exandria — The Mighty Nein, and also give you the very first look at our deluxe edition, which is available for pre-order right now from our US shop and our UK shop!
Encompassing the first chapters of our second campaign, this tome illustrates the adventures of our unlikely heroes as they meet in Trostenwald, struggle through a heartbreaking encounter with the Iron Shepherds, and more. Featuring stunning works by artists from the Critter community, The Chronicles of Exandria — The Mighty Nein is a beautiful way to revisit the origin of the Mighty Nein through the perspective of expositor Beauregard Lionett and the archivists of the Cobalt Soul.
The Chronicles of Exandria — The Mighty Nein features 260+ pages of some of the most breathtaking art created by 138 Critter artists from around the world, curated by our very own Liam O’Brien, Taliesin Jaffe, as well as our friend Lauryn Ipsum. Along with more art than your heart can handle, our new art book also includes story text by Liam, Taliesin, Dani Carr, and the cast of Critical Role. Our books were published by our amazing partners at Dark Horse (We love you!).
Our next art book is set for release on Tuesday, June 2nd, which is when deluxe edition pre-orders are expected ship from our online shops AND also the date when the standard edition will be available where ever fine books are sold.
We’re excited to share more details about the standard and deluxe editions, including pre-order information and a few special sneak peeks, so read on, dear reader… We have a lot of amazingness ahead!
