Exandria Unlimited: Calamity Part 4" (E3x04) The Ring of Brass deepen their investigation into Vespin's inconceivable ritual while juggling their own profound desires and lofty ambitions.Ĭonfronted with how deep Avalir's corruption runs, the Ring of Brass must face hard truths about themselves as impossible choices are made and lines are both drawn and sundered.

And we got some cool relationships out of it". But since Exandria Unlimited: Calamity is such a contained story in such a strange place and a strange time, it made a lot more sense to build the characters together. It was a more fruitful process making the characters together. On creating characters in the Age of Arcanum, Sam Riegel said, "What was the government? Why was magic so popular? So to develop a character for that, not really knowing the world that you're in, is hard. One of the first things that we did when making our characters was just sit around a table together and talk about our relationships, and how each of us as individuals fit into the power structure of the city we live in". So, that required a lot of history, and lore, and understanding our positions before we even got started. Brennan wanted us to be very powerful out of the gate, with characters who are in control and are movers and shakers. Marisha Ray said, "We entered this knowing that we are playing in the Age of Arcanum, so we knew we were playing high-level characters in very high positions of power. Unlike typical Critical Role campaigns, where characters are developed separately by the players, the cast of Exandria Unlimited: Calamity developed their characters together as a group.
The question here is 'What is the nature of mortal beings when faced with this?' There are different - and, in my opinion, more interesting - questions to be answered here than 'does the doom come or no?'". On setting Exandria Unlimited: Calamity during an apocalypse, Mulligan said, "If your only question is 'does the Calamity happen or not?' that's a different series. Mulligan said, "people will see some similarities that exist between our world and the Age of Arcanum in terms of an accessibility of magic that is so promulgated that it just seeps into the workings of everyday life in a way that is not present in current day Exandria. Clarke quote on magic and technology being indistinguishable past a certain point.
On setting the series in the Age of Arcanum, Mulligan compared it to the Arthur C. Mulligan stated that Mercer was a generous resource "during the conception and prep-work" for the series and that Mercer "was also excited for Mulligan to flesh out and expand on a period of Exandrian history that Mercer had only imagined in broader terms".
