Welcome to the Omen Archive!

We're pleased to see you. You may note the “pardon our moon dust” banner at the top of our site. We’ve been weighing site readiness against a desire to launch, and finally felt we had reached the tipping point. This doesn’t, however, mean that things are complete: there is a long list of projects on the docket. Some are below. 

We intend, in time, to add:

A single campaign-at-a-glance page

Character cards (current level)

Character cards (previous levels)

Character level-up summaries for each level

Character damage taken

Fearne’s Wild Shapes

Chetney’s Hybrid Transformations

Chetney’s toys

Times that FCG snaps

Laudna’s Hunger of the Shadow

Imogen’s dreams

Laudna’s “capable”s

Ruidus flares

FCG’s baked goods

Delilah appearances

Campaign calendar

Dynamic character/party inventories

Visited locations list

Improved ability to sort existing lists and tables

Additional data visualizations (graphs, etc.)

If there are additional stats you’d like to see collected, please email us at sending@omenarchive.com, as well as (if relevant) some notes about how you tend to use that type of data (for example, running some analysis of your own, cross-checking lore, researching fanfiction, etc.). We’re always happy to add new things to the list where we can. 

Keep visiting the site for updates, and keep an eye on our social media for announcements of additions and changes to our stats and interface.

More art I've been making for Daggerheart is being shared through "Daggeheart Drops". Small additional information and art for various items, adversaries, and encounters that are going to be periodically released over time while the game is in development!

This Daggerhear Drop is for the Flickerfly. An insectoid adversary that has razor sharp wings that are often used in the creation of special weaponry.

Get the full information and stat blocks for both the Adult and Juvenile Flickerfly on the Daggerheart Blog

Last month at the wiki — March 2024

Every month, we highlight significant work done in the previous month by our editing community at Encyclopedia Exandria. This one is a LONG one, so fair warning...

March 2024 saw the creation of 83 (eighty-three) new mainspace articles! A bit more on why so many later, but first here's a selection of ten of them. You can find more at the 50 newest pages report.

Zora Manning, Lightkeeper for the Circle of the Crimson Mirror

Nokari, Lightkeeper for the Circle of Tide & Bone

Isle of Serenity, island in the Glass Sea

Nymph, type of fey

Pyre, sect of the Ascendancy

Ashley Middlebrook, producer at Critical Role Productions

Ruidian glass, material found on Ruidus

Rashinna, leader member of the Volition

Gaz Tomo, member of the Volition

Vezoden Amerai, champion of the Strife Emperor

So, why so many new articles? We created individual articles for every episode of Midst! Using information we already had in list of Midst episodes, we were able to create episode articles painlessly, programmatically, and promptly with Python magic. We've also made updates to our episode infobox for Midst to document airdates for the re-releases and for subscribers, illustrators for the video versions, and appendices links. Now that we've got individual articles, the summaries on the list were made more concise to provide different levels of summarization and to make appendices links easier to see. Work is also underway on the individual articles, including more robust summaries (now that they're standalone rather than in a table), appendices summaries, and illustration galleries. You can check out the articles for Unrise, Switcheroo, and Tempest for a peek at what we're aiming for and slowly moving toward.

Character infoboxes now have a place for movement speeds, making it easier to do thought experiments about which PC will win in a race. Also, we've historically had explanatory notes for multiple stats or DCs in a hover. We've changed our best practices to instead place these into a footnote formatted similar to references so that these notes can be accessed by mobile users.

The character infobox was also updated to handle stats for systems other than Dungeons & Dragons. We've added new items for Daggerheart (we're still getting a feel for what should be included), and we have options for a full custom stat array. This allows us to better handle Daggerheart characters in the future, should we see more of them, but also to better handle PCs in past one-shots who were not well-serviced by the less flexible stat handling. We've also inserted new fields to properly reflect Daggerheart's Community and Ancestry character options.

As always, check out our Candela Obscura coverage. Newfaire has been updated with more points of interest from the core rulebook. We've also got a lengthy bibliography of interviews related to the show on top of our regular coverage for this month's continuing adventures of the Circle of the Crimson Mirror.

This week's random Encyclopedia Exandria article is... The Wonderworker!

The Wonderworker is the reclusive and anonymous leader of the League of Miracles.

A fun fact from the article: the Wonderworker has supposedly appeared in person only three times.

[encyclopediacr]

Thank you to all who have responded so far! We've made very minor edits to a few questions based on the feedback we've already received;

In locations where we referred to "Critical Role wiki", we changed this to read Encyclopedia Exandria to clarify. This survey is entirely about your experience on Encyclopedia Exandria.

If you rank the wiki as poor or very poor on any of the metrics we ask about (Completeness, Neutrality, Spelling and Grammar, Relevance, Clarity, and Accuracy), we have rephrased the question to ask for specific articles so we know where to look. We want to fix these issues, so please tell us which articles have problems.

The survey will remain open for the next two weeks, so please continue to respond if you haven't already! After the survey closes, we will post a response to the feedback to let you know how we plan to address it, so please watch this space.

Engagement and feedback survey
