The trickster-fey Artagan returns, but does he have something up his sleeves again?
This gorgeous deluxe edition features a beautiful foil-stamped slipcase and cover worthy enough for even the pickiest of fey, along with a gallery-quality lithograph by artist Toby Sharp!
The powerful and mischievous Archfey Artagan, also known as the Traveler, finally gets his day in court—which is the LAST thing he wanted. But since he’s here, he’s happy to tell the Seelie and Unseelie courts how he’s graced the material realms with his knowledge and mentorship. But there are witnesses who may have a different take, and the consequences could be dire.
Writer Sam Maggs, artist Aviv Or, and colorist Diana Sousa bring you a fabulous new story from the world of Exandria, created in consultation with the cast of Critical Role!
