0:00.0	Why, hello there. I'm Brennan Lee Mulligan, and welcome to Campaign 4 of Critical Role.
0:08.0	Thank you for joining us on this journey as we explore Aramon, a world of fractured kingdoms,
0:15.0	tumultuous rebellion and sorcery that rises from the graveyard of the gods.
0:22.3	You're listening to Part 1 of this adventure, with Part 2 arriving this upcoming Tuesday.
0:27.6	Our episodes typically arrive on the Critical Role Podcast Network a week after our initial Thursday night streams on Beacon, YouTube, and Twitch.
0:34.2	But if you'd rather listen to a full podcast episode of Campaign 4,

0:42.3	You'll receive access to exclusive content, discounts at all our online Critical Role shops,
0:46.5	pre-sales for live events, and so much more.

1:48.3	station. We attempt to make clear that violence is always a regrettable, tragic, and final resort,
1:58.8	that the weaponry, armor, and tavergery of our various vassals and men-at-arms
2:05.4	bear the symbol of the candescent creed.
2:08.9	But we would shudder to think of you going out of your own pocket for that.
2:12.9	Oh, that is most understood.
2:14.4	I think if I might suggest an alternative, perhaps for an extra level of security, perhaps, I could stay as I am, plain close, not draw attention to anything that needs to be done on behalf of the candescent creed. A more covert security for us.
