    Hello everyone! I just wanted to say thank you so much for such a warm response to this video! We can all cry together 😂
    Edit: I totally forgot to bring this up earlier- inspiration for the designs came from the comic book, official art by Kit Buss, and some of my own flair.

      I know it's super late, but in a short story, about why did it happened (don't read if u want to watch Campaign 1, but if u watched this cinematic,well you already had the biggest spoiler xD) Vax became a paladin of the Raven Queen (godess of death) with a deal of ressurecting his sister. Near the end of campaign he died in a way, when there was nearly no chance for him to come back to life. So Vax decided to make a deal with Raven Queen - she'll bring him back to life, but he'll live only long enough to kill Vecna (freshly ascended god, their enemy and enemy of the Raven Queen). And after killing Vecna this is the scene of Raven Queen taking Vax with her and at the end of a tunnel he sees his mother, who died when he was young. I reccomend you to watch the original clip.

    I’d love a one-shot where they fight the Raven Queen with the help of Kimac Kerr, Kash, Zahra, Allura, and Gilmore. Combat would be an absolute pain and take forever but It would be a great excuse to make the fight hard as hell

      @@gingeranya6961 The easiest is probably Audacity, as it's free open-source software and the Noise Removal function is pretty good. You just need a section of the background hum on its own to make the "noise profile" so it knows what to remove. Then you select everything and go back into the function to actually run it.
      Adobe Audition lets you fine-tune it more, and select everything while the dialog box is still open the first time, but is expensive.
      I imagine most audio-editing programs have something similar, but those are the two I've used.
