The second campaign of the Dungeons & Dragons web series Critical Role
premiered on January 11, 2018—four months after the conclusion of the first
campaign—and concluded on June 3, 2021. The series starred Travis Willingham,
Marisha Ray, Taliesin Jaffe, Ashley Johnson, Sam Riegel, Liam O'Brien, and
Laura Bailey as the players with Matthew Mercer as the Dungeon Master.
The campaign is an actual play which follows the Mighty Nein, a party of seven
adventurers, in their travels across the continent of Wildemount. It occurs at
a time of very high tensions between the Dwendalian Empire and the Kryn
Dynasty—two of Wildemount's major powers, which are divided by the Ashkeeper
Peaks mountain range.
