UM EXCUSE ME!? LUCIEN\/MOLLY BACKSTORY? LORE DROP?<\/p>\n
Yeah I can get behind that.<\/p>\n
No, are you KIDDING ME? This is awesome!<\/p>\n
Much like the KITH AND KIN Vox Machina book before it, this Mighty Nein story will be a prequel to the on stream content of campaign 2. Unlike the Twins’ story though, this book will cover a much more unknown piece of Critical Role lore, who was Mollymauk before Molly was “born”?<\/p>\n
While we know a little about Lucien from later Campaign 2, he is one of the most interesting and still unknown players in the “dance” of the story of both the Mighty Nein. So who is Lucien?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Delve into the mind of Critical Role\u2019s most charming villain in this original novel that chronicles Lucien\u2019s early life and his fateful meeting with the Mighty Nein.<\/p>\n
Lucien has always been able to spin a bad situation to his advantage. From his childhood on the dangerous streets of Shadycreek Run to his years living off the grid and learning blood magic from the Claret Orders, the charismatic blood hunter will find a way to get the upper hand.<\/p>\n
When Lucien is on a job in the frozen wastelands of Eiselcross with his fellow mercenaries, a rough-and-tumble crew called the Tombtakers, fate leads him to a mysterious journal in the ruins of an ancient city. The book speaks of the Somnovem, nine beings who can grant Lucien power beyond imagining\u2014if he is able to find them and free them from captivity.<\/p>\n
Intrigued by this opportunity, Lucien pores over the journal\u2014but the more he reads, the stranger things become. The nine whisper to him in dreams and waking visions. Time slips away, along with Lucien\u2019s grasp on reality. And tattoos of red eyes begin appearing on his skin. . . .<\/p>\n
With the ability to reshape the world within his grasp, Lucien ignores all warning signs. He has always bent fortune to his will, and nothing\u2014not even death\u2014will stop him now.<\/p>\n
Written by New York Times bestselling author Madeleine Roux, Critical Role: The Mighty Nein\u2014The Nine Eyes of Lucien explores the meteoric rise and fall of one of Critical Role\u2019s most notorious and tragic figures.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
<\/p>\n
I have so many questions and it looks like I’m going to have to speed up my Mighty Nein marathon to catch up before the release.<\/p>\n
Also PLEASE tell me Taliesin Jaffe is going to narrate. Even if he only does Lucien’s dialogue. Honestly I would prefer if he would voice the entire novel, though a return of Robbie Daymond as the story narrator with Taliesin as the character would not be unwelcome. Could this be the reason Taliesin has been the only cast member to not be involved in the CR side campaigns and one shots in some form?<\/p>\n
I’m so stoked for this book and excited by this awesome pride month announcement.<\/p>\n
What are you most looking forward to in this book? Share your ideas in the comments.<\/p>\n
From my shelf to yours,<\/p>\n
