CRITICAL ROLE CAMPAIGN 4 New Intro, Explained

Critical Role Campaign 4‘s Intro Sequence Is Put on By Halandil Fang’s Performance Troupe

As mentioned, Halandil Fang, played by Liam O’Brien, has his own performance troupe in Critical Role Campaign 4. This Orcish bard has worked his whole life to own his own theater, and finally achieves that dream right before Campaign 4 begins—a place called The Hallowed Round. The Critical Role Campaign 4 intro credits sequence appears to take into The Hallowed Round in full performance mode. We see orcs, humans, and more performing dances, duels, and acrobatics. It’s a whimsical, theatrical experience that has exactly the energy we want to see as we journey into a fantastical world.

The Critical Role Campaign 4 Intro Credits Sequence May Tell the Story of the Death of Aramán’s Gods

It’s hard to tell exactly what story Halandil Fang’s performers are telling, though. None of them seem to specifically resemble the 13 player characters from Critical Role Campaign 4. One popular theory is that the Critical Role Campaign 4 intro is actually depicting the events of the Shapers’ War and the death of the gods of Aramán. As the deaths of the gods set the scene for the entire campaign, this would be a meaningful story to paint at the start of every episode. We’ll have to wait and see if the story of the opening credits becomes clearer as Critical Role Campaign 4 unfolds.

There Are Many Masks In Critical Role Campaign 4‘s Intro

One thing we did notice is that Critical Role Campaign 4‘s intro sequence contains many masks. We learned in Critical Role Campaign 4, episode four, that Bolaire Lathalia, Taliesin Jaffe’s character, is actually a sentient mask. And he revealed he had many brothers and sisters. Bolaire was a mask meant to kill a god, adding credence to the idea that the Critical Role Campaign 4 intro shows the deaths of the gods in Aramán. Could the many masks we see be Bolaire’s brothers and sisters. We will soon find.

What Is Critical Role Campaign 4‘s Intro Song?

We don’t know the exact name of the music, but we do know that Critical Role Campaign 4‘s intro features music by Neal Acree, is performed by the Budapest Scoring Orchestra, and features Paul Cartwright on the fiddle.
