Before Critical Role, before Faerûn dominated every D&D shelf, there was Al-Qadim—a dazzling, imaginative setting inspired by the tales of the Arabian Nights, full of genies, golden deserts, and spell-wielding corsairs. So why did it vanish from the spotlight? In this video, we’re diving deep into the rise and fall of Al-Qadim, from lore, cultural influences, and the bit of a messy legacy it left behind. Strap onto your camels and grab your scimitars.
