Over the course of three seasons of The Legend of Vox Machina, the group have fought dragons, vampires and demons. Every time the stakes are raised, Vox Machina are pushed to question what price they’re willing to pay to save the world, or rescue a loved one. And it’s a question they’ll have to ask themselves again once they find themselves against the Whispered One aka Vecna as he seeks godhood.
With season 4 premiering on Prime Video on June 3, 2026 and you need a little refresher, this is everything you need to know about The Legend of Vox Machina.
Who are Vox Machina?
Vox Machina are a ragtag group of brash, broke and flawed mercenaries based in the city of Emon. The group includes half-elf twins Vex and Vax; Percy, the last heir of the noble de Rolo family; Keyleth, a half-elf druid on a sacred spiritual journey; Pike, a gnome cleric devoted to a goddess called the Everlight; Scanlan, a bard whose charm and musical talent has helped save the day; and Grog, a goliath barbarian whose as strong as he is kind (and dim).
Season 1: The Price of Revenge
Vox Machina earns a reputation and their own keep in Emon after they kill a blue dragon secretly posing as a city council general.
Before the group can take the time to enjoy the moment, the sinister Lord Sylas and Lady Delilah Briarwood arrive at a royal banquet. Percy recognizes them as the couple who murdered his family and seized control of his home city, Whitestone. And that’s where things get dark.
Vox Machina travels to Whitestone and dismantles the Briarwoods’ brutal occupation piece by piece. But Season 1 is really Percy’s story. It turns out, his pepperbox pistol came to him through a deal with a shadow demon named Orthax, who feeds on the souls of everyone Percy kills with it. Five of the gun’s chambers are engraved with the names of his family’s killers. As he works through that list, the demon’s grip on him grows stronger.
He almost loses himself but he’s able to fight back thanks to the support of Vox Machina.
The Briarwoods are defeated, but not before Delilah reveals she made a deal with an ancient, god-like being called the Whispered One to bring Sylas back to life as a vampire. A ritual beneath Whitestone Castle is disrupted just in time, producing only a spinning black orb instead of a full summoning. That’s not anything to be concerned about, right?
Season 2: Rise of the Chroma Conclave
Just as Vox Machina catches its breath, four ancient dragons calling themselves the Chroma Conclave descend on Emon to destroy it. Their leader is Thordak, a red fire dragon. Alongside him are Raishan (poison), Umbrasyl (acid), and Vorugal (ice). Many civilians including the city’s ruler are killed in the attack. Vox Machina barely manages to escape with their lives.
With no army strong enough to fight the Chroma Conclave, the group searches for extraordinarily powerful weapons called the Vestiges of Divergence. The quest to find them drives the whole season and changes several members of Vox Machina forever.
The most consequential change belongs to Vax. When a trap kills Vex inside a sunken tomb, he offers his own life to the Matron of Ravens, the goddess of death, to bring her back. It works but now Vax is bound to the goddess as her champion, charged with protecting the line between life and death. It’s not a bargain he truly understood when he made it, and the significance of it weighs on him.
Meanwhile, Grog starts using a cursed sword called Craven Edge taken from Sylas Briarwood. It nearly destroys him as the sword his bloodlust until he stabs his best friend Pike. He destroys it to protect her, but loses his immense physical strength in the process. He spends weeks in a weakened state, forced to discover where his strength really comes from.
The season closes on a twist. Keeper Yennen, a trusted religious ally, reveals herself as Raishan in disguise. She freed Thordak from his imprisonment in the Fire Plane in exchange for a cure to a curse that is slowly killing her. He never delivered on his promise so now she wants revenge. And she’s offering her help to take him down.
Season 3: What Would You Do for Love
In Season 3, the group tracks down the final Vestige they need, navigating a betrayal in Draconia and a high-stakes card game in a hellish underworld where Pike outsmarts a demon.
Throughout all of it, the relationships between certain characters begin to change. Percy tells Vex he loves her, though Vex is reluctant to open her heart to him. Vax pulls away from Keyleth, knowing his bond with the Matron means his time is limited and he doesn’t want her to go through the pain of outliving him. He eventually breaks through his fear, and they reconcile.
Then Ripley, Percy’s torturer who’s working with Orthax now, shoots and kills Percy on the island of Glintshore. He dies without hearing Vex say she loves him back.
Before the final battle against Thordak, Raishan reveals that he is the dragon who killed the twins’ mother, Elaina. This makes the dragon war personal in a way it wasn’t before. Vox Machina assembles an army: the Herd of Storms, the Fire Ashari, the elves of Syngorn. Vax kills Thordak by flying through an open wound in his heart. Three Conclave members are already dead. Raishan, in a final betrayal, grabs Thordak’s corpse and vanishes to complete a resurrection ritual. A furious Keyleth kills her for good by transferring Raishan’s lethal curse to Thordak’s corpse.
When Vax suggests the group recreate Raishan’s resurrection ritual to bring Percy back, they learn that Orthax trapped Percy’s soul inside Ripley’s gun. Vax goes in after him, reaching into the demon’s realm to find Percy, whose memories have been stripped away. It’s Vex making an anguished declaration of her love that cuts through. Percy regains his memories and he escapes with Vax at his side. Orthax is seemingly destroyed for good.
The season ends with Vox Machina getting a chance to actually experience some peace. Emon and Whitestone begin to rebuild. Percy and Vex return to Whitestone together. Keyleth and Vax set off on their own, though Vax’s hand shows visible signs of decay in a terrifying signal that he really is living on borrowed time. Scanlan leaves with his newfound daughter Kaylie to make up for lost time. Grog and Pike stay behind to say goodbye before going off on their own adventure.
And then, in the final scene, cultists complete a ritual. The Whispered One, the dead god Delilah spent Season 1 trying to resurrect, is summoned at last.
Season 4 picks up a year after the events of Season 3. Vox Machina has gone their separate ways, but it won’t be long until they’re forced to come together.
Nearly every villain across three seasons from Delilah to Orthax or Raishan wanted power badly enough to pay any price for it. The Whispered One drives that idea home. He’s a being pursuing godhood at any cost, awake and active in the world.
Soon Vox Machina will face their most dangerous threat yet, all while having to ask themselves: what are they willing to sacrifice?Season 4 of The Legend of Vox Machina premieres June 3, 2026 on Prime Video.
