Discover the heartwarming and chaotic beginnings of Exandria's most beloved cleric in Critical Role: The Mighty Nein Origins—Jester Lavorre. Written by the celebrated Sam Maggs (Marvel's Spider-Man, The Unstoppable Wasp) in direct collaboration with Laura Bailey and Matthew Mercer, this hardcover volume explores Jester's life in Nicodranas long before she joined the Mighty Nein.

This copy is Brand New, offering a pristine experience for "Critters" and fans of whimsical, character-driven fantasy.

Story & Creative Vision

Explore the secluded upbringing of the daughter of the Ruby of the Sea and her first meetings with a certain "Traveler."

• The Narrative: Jester Lavorre has spent her life tucked away in the lavish Lavender Chateau. With only her mother, her sketches, and her invisible best friend—the Traveler—for company, Jester’s thirst for adventure leads her into a series of mishaps that will eventually change the course of her life.

• Authentic Voice: Because this story was developed with Laura Bailey, every "technically" and prank feels authentic to the character fans fell in love with during Campaign 2.

• Whimsical Artistry: The art by Hunter Severn Bonyun and colors by Cathy Le perfectly capture the vibrant, colorful, and slightly mischievous aesthetic that defines Jester’s world.
