Fans of Critical Role's second campaign have a new reason to celebrate. The beloved actual-play Dungeons & Dragons franchise is officially returning to the continent of Wildemount with a brand-new sequel novel centered on the Mighty Nein.
Titled The Mighty Nein — Children of Empire, the upcoming book is penned by author Nibedita Sen. The novel promises to pick up the narrative threads of Campaign 2, continuing the epic adventures of the fan-favorite adventuring party well beyond their original tabletop journey.
The announcement marks yet another major expansion of the ever-growing Critical Role literary universe. While specific plot details currently remain under wraps, Sen's foray into the world of Exandria guarantees that the chaotic, deeply emotional, and politically charged escapades of the Mighty Nein are far from over. Readers can look forward to diving back into the rich lore and complex character dynamics that made the second campaign a monumental success.
