The sprawling fantasy world of Exandria—the imaginative brainchild of Matthew Mercer—has served as the vibrant backdrop for countless Critical Role campaigns, one-shots, and spin-off stories. The inaugural Critical Role campaign, alongside its hit animated adaptation The Legend of Vox Machina, centers primarily on the northern continent of Tal’Dorei. In collaboration with the Critical Role team, Polygon is thrilled to unveil a comprehensive, immersive Tal’Dorei map.

Throughout the years, “Critters” have followed the legendary exploits of Vox Machina, watching them liberate Whitestone from the tyrannical Briarwoods and reclaim the thriving trade hub of Westruun from dragon fire. Given the sheer scale of the continent, it is easy to lose track of the journey’s geography. Did the party truly assemble in Syngorn or Stilben? Where does the subterranean dwarven fortress of Kraghammer sit? Was Pike and Grog’s fateful meeting truly in such a remote corner, or is Zephrah actually a grueling trek from Whitestone? Perhaps Keyleth’s druidic teleportation was less of a convenience and more of a logistical necessity.

Our new interactive guide is designed to provide clarity. This map goes beyond simple cartography, plotting the cities, peaks, and settlements that defined the Vox Machina era while pinpointing major historical milestones across Exandria. By working directly with Critical Role’s official Lore Keeper, Dani Carr, and Senior Brand Manager, Brittney Austin, we have crafted an authoritative resource for both newcomers and veteran fans. Explore the locations of pivotal battles, tragic character moments, and significant lore entries that shaped the campaign’s narrative.
