The Legend of Vox Machina Season 3 plot
In Vox Machina Season 3, our heroes travel to Exandria’s version of hell, on their quest to save the land from the villainous DnD dragons of the Chroma Conclave, and their leader: the ancient red dragon Thordak, a.k.a. the Cinder King.
Critical Role says that “everything is at stake” in this season, and “our lovable band of misfits must rise above inner (and outer) demons to try and save their loved ones, Tal’Dorei, and all of Exandria.” It seems we’ll be delving into the characters’ traumatic backgrounds and family ties once again!
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly before the new season launched, Travis Willingham (Vox Machina Executive Producer and the voice of Grog in the show) teased that minor players in Vox Machina’s cast will get more screen time, and that we can expect more threats beyond the Chroma Conclave, with new and familiar villains putting pressure on the adventuring party.
The Legend of Vox Machina Season 3 trailer
Watch the final pre-release Legend of Vox Machina Season 3 trailer here:

Here, we finally saw the full party once again, and learned about one new location they plan to visit: literal, actual hell. The trailer also promised romance, showing off Keyleth and Vax’s long-awaited first kiss.
But Vox Machina season 3 also promised heartache. The trailer showed us a coffin, Vex crying out in despair, and several pep talks for the team. Heck, the very first line of the trailer reminded us “the future is frightening”.

Before that, Prime Video released a brief ‘first look’ teaser trailer (watch it above), which showed most of the party getting held up by guards in the city of Ank’Harel, and the group’s main sponsor – the Sorcerer/merchant Gilmore – being captured using a magical bolas.
Legend of Vox Machina Season 2 recap
(Spoiler warning for Season 2)
The Legend of Vox Machina Season 2 opens with the adventuring party’s victory celebrations being cut short by the arrival of the Chroma Conclave, a cabal of ancient chromatic dragons set on destroying the governments of Tal’Dorei and Draconia, and carving up their territories between themselves.
Faced with four powerful new dragon adversaries – Thordak (Lance Reddick); Raishan (Cree Summer); Umbrasyl (Matthew Mercer); and Vorugal (Liam O’Brien) – our heroes travel across Exandria to recover the Vestiges of Divergence: ancient and lost magical artifacts which were scattered during ‘The Calamity’, centuries before this story.
In the course of Season 2, Vox Machina recovers eight of these artifacts, while working towards a final confrontation with the black dragon Umbrasyl (and confronting issues from the heroes’ pasts, most notably Grog defeating his uncle Kevdak to claim the vestige known as the Titanstone Knuckles).
At the season’s conclusion, the party kills Umbrasyl after a deadly fight, then go to the city of Whitestone to rest and celebrate, and are met by the priest, Keeper Yennen (voiced by Gina Torres). Yennen then reveals they were not as they seemed, transforms into the green dragon Raishan, and offers to become Vox Machina’s ally in taking down Thordak.
At the very close of the season, however, we see Thordak – confident despite the loss of Umbrasyl – telling Vorugal he has a new army coming. We’re then shown several glowing eggs, seemingly dragon eggs ready to provide reinforcements to the Chroma Conclave.
