Brennan Lee Mulligan during Critical Role: Downfall interview
Summary Critical Role: Downfall is set centuries into the Calamity in the city of Aeor. At this time, Aeor has decided that the real problem is the Gods spurring them on to create a weapon capable of killing the Gods. This was a tipping point that led to a cease-fire between the Gods, seeing Aeor as their biggest threat. Downfall follows six divine figures and their role in the destruction of the flying city of Aeor which is at the height of its power.
Downfall Is A Snapshot Of The Middle Of The Calamity: "The Gods Called A Timeout To Go And Destroy Aeor" Mulligan has a busy month with Critical Role: Downfall, Dimension 20: Never Stop Blowing Up, and Worlds Beyond Number, each releasing new episodes weekly. This means Mulligan will have a new episode of each show debuting on a different day for three weeks. He joked that this is almost the amount of Dungeons & Dragons he played as a teenager.
So you look at Calamity and it's that turning point of there was a moment where the Age of Arcanum ended and the Calamity began. Talking with Matt post Calamity about are there any other historical moments that ring out in that way? It all began with a conversation around Aeor with this line of text that was, the betrayer gods and the prime deities halted their war in order to strike down the city of Aeor, which was developing a weapon capable of killing the gods.
So all of Downfall can really be understood as a moment or chapter shown through the image of the past, shown through this sort of recording deep in the heart of fallen Aeor and therefore what the story is attempting to do is to exist in and of itself, very much watchable in and of itself, but really as a set piece also within Campaign three.
Brennan Lee Mulligan: Oh, it was a privilege and an honor. It was delightful to be on stage with the whole gang. Live performance is such an incredible gift and art form and it's so fun to feel that energy and enthusiasm coming off the crowd. I mean, I'm a creature of live performance. I did improv in New York for years and years and years, was on Tour Co and did bigger shows and auditoriums. Doing the Greek and being the emcee and getting the energy up.
In terms of the classic Aeorian accent, that Slavic accent that you heard, what I'll say is Aeor is, at this time in the Calamity, Aeor is the last bastion of the Age of Arkanum and the apex might of the Age of Arkanum. There's other cities and other pockets of mortal civilization, but nothing compares to Aeor at the height of its civilization.
Brennan Lee Mulligan: I can only say that in many ways this is a reflection or photo negative, almost, of Calamity. This is a very different story, and while it exists in similar spaces of disaster and Calamity and of being the story again, the thing on the back of the VHS tape of a city falls out of the sky. This is a story of how that happened, right? Couldn't be more different. It couldn't be more different in terms of the perspective that we're following in this story.
This is such a cool cast. What is the most exciting thing about playing with this cast, which includes players you've never played with before? Brennan Lee Mulligan: So we know that Aeor is doomed and without telling too much about what our heroes or what their stories sort of entails this it is, I think that EXU Calamity was about who the Ring of Brass really are. Who are they? Right? Before the events at EXU Calamity, the Ring of Brass were villains straight up.
I will pitch that immediately to everyone I meet. One of the things I love is that you and Aabria have been able to bring these new fresh perspectives to the world of Exandria that has fleshed out the history and the world. What has been some of the conversations you two have had in this kind of exclusive club of being able to really impact the story that Matt is telling?
The Divergence Is "The Last Momentous Epic Moment That I Think Makes The Most Sense" Mulligan revealed what Calamity era he would like to explore with Mercer and O'Brien, the only remaining core Critical Role players, to potentially close out the Calamity story as a trilogy in the future. Brennan Lee Mulligan: Oh my God, explosions, blowing up, kaboom are the three words. Caitlin, the fact that there will be three weeks this summer in which Downfall is coming out alongside Never Stop Blowing Up will be the biggest indication to people that maybe I'm two different guys. You know what I'm saying?
