The Chroma Conclave, who serve as Season 2 villains, are a pack of five ancient dragons who pick a fight with Vox Machina (or rather, Vox Machina picks a fight with them). Now we get to see the perspective of the villains.” At the same time, we get to expand upon other moments that didn’t get seen within the campaign, because they were only seen from the perspective of the players. “It’s having to pick and choose moments that meant the most to us, and made the most sense to include in the animated series. “There’s a lot of story there,” says Bailey. “The Chroma conflict within our game lasted around 45 episodes,” Bailey tells Inverse, in contrast to the 15 session Briarwood Arc that served as the basis for The Legend of Vox Machina Season 1.
