So, for the people who haven't seen campaign 1 and don't know CR's full backstory:

- the very first streamed episode of campaign 1 started with Vox Machina arriving in Kraghammer

- The original oneshot that became the home game that became campaign 1 was set in Stillben

- That oneshot was a birthday gift from Matt to Liam (and also Laura because they share a birthday)

This ending is a one-two-three punch of going full circle, and that's even before getting to the god stuff

Remember when this campaign and cast got announced and we all thought that Brennan and Liam were going to have a tragedy-off when in reality they were secretly coming together to maximize their joint slay (secretly making a love letter to Matt with their love for storytelling)

leave it to exu to really remind me that some actors are just made to play certain gods

[justalittlebluetiefling]
