The Legend of Vox Machina is a deeply philosophical show that asks important questions such as: “what if the Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov had a gun?”

Just a Keyleth straight out of my comfort zone. Did you happen to know that you can commission me? I'd love it if you commissioned me. Link in my bio.

Something I just noticed and really enjoy about Campaign 1 is how often their story involves becoming incredibly powerful and accomplishing so much and yet still not being able to do what's truly important to them. It's not only the gutpunch of the final episode, it's a thematic underpinning throughout the campaign.
Way back in their prestream adventures, the party was strong enough to defeat the Dread Emperor and save all the kidnapped children from Tal'Dorei—except one, a child Keyleth killed by accident, an act which haunts her through at least much of the early campaign. The party defeats the Briarwoods and reclaims Whitestone, but Ripley still escapes and 19 still misses, and the Chroma Conclave raze half the continent. Percy has great intellect and access to a powerful magical amplifier and forced out a demon through sheer force of will, but his carelessness still killed Vex and he only rolls a 6 to try to save her. The party has slain a dragon and is armed with four Vestiges of Divergence, but they couldn't save Tiberius and can't even give him the proper burial they want to. They brutally slaughter Ripley, but not before she gets the revenge she wants; she kills Percy, sending him to Orthax, and spreads guns throughout Exandria. The Conclave is slain, the whole party made it out alive, but Scanlan is forever scarred by the experience and leaves, tearing the party down as he goes. Even Vilya, prior to the campaign's beginning, was at the very end of her Aramente, likely a level 16-17 druid like Keyleth was, and still failed the trial of the Water Plane and was gone for almost 40 years.
And of course, Vox Machina became some of the most powerful people in the world, slayers of a god, legends to be immortalized for centuries...and none of their power could save their brother.
Percy points out to Bell's Hells, thirty years later, that fate isn't always kind and not everyone gets a second chance, and to me that's underscored by what we don't see. Elaina is still dead. Juniper is still dead. Percy's parents and five siblings are all still dead.
I mean, if any or all of their bodies are intact, it wouldn't even require True Resurrection to bring them back—not that Keyleth or Percy are averse to a little heresy, but hey, conserve your resources. If there are bodies, all they'd need is 7th-level Resurrection; none of those people have been dead for over a century, and if they need to find the bodies, well, Vex has Locate Object and Pike gets a Divine Intervention freebie once a week, right? Even if they did need True Resurrection, it's a heftier cost but probably not something too difficult to pay over time for one of the wealthiest families in the world.
But none of them have ever done that, nor do we get an indication that they've pursued it. Vox Machina is, probably more than any other CR party, defined by grief—how individual PCs respond to their own profound losses; how they succeed and fail to shoulder each others' burdens; and at the end of their story, how they deal with one of the most painful losses imaginable, and how they move forward and find peace in spite of it. Campaign 1 is just as much about how to deal with what you couldn't do as it is about what you now can do.

Gwendolyn swallows thickly before raising her hand and knocking on her parents’ bedroom door. Almost immediately her mother calls, “Come in, dear!” She always knows who’s at the door, Gwendolyn thinks it’s her superpower. Gwen cracks the door open and sticks her head in, she finds her mother sitting at her vanity while her father is pacing the length of the room, tapping a pencil against his lips. 
As Gwen opens the door, her father stops what he is doing and smiles down at her, “Hello, Gwen. What can we do for you?” Gwen doesn’t say anything as she shuts the door and walks over to her father. He picks her up in one motion, settling her against his hip, even though Gwen knows she’s getting too big. 
“I want to ask you something,” she tells him. And then she catches her mother’s eyes in the mirror. Vex smiles and turns around her chair to face her daughter and her husband.
“Go ahead, darling,” Vex says gently. 
Gwen shakes her head, “It’s a serious question. We sit down for serious things.” 
Percy chuckles and kisses the side of her head, “That we do, my darling. Lead the way.” He sets Gwen down on her feet and follows her as she leads them over to the couch in front of the fireplace. Gwen sits on the middle cushion as her parents sit on either side of her. 
“Auntie Zahra was telling me something about tieflings and she said I should ask you about it.” 
“Of course,” Percy rubs her shoulder. “Whatever it is.” 
“She told me about virtue names. That some tieflings pick their own names when they’re old enough. And I know that all of our names are super special and important, but-”
“But you want a virtue name?” Vex finishes. Gwen nods, avoiding her parents’ eyes. Her mother touches her chin, making her lift her eyes. “Darling, we’re not upset with you.” 
“But my name is important,” she says. 
Percy moves from the couch to kneel at her side. “All names are important, and so is the one you want to give yourself.” 
“Are you sure?” Gwen asks softly. “I promise that Gwendolyn and Zahra can still be my middle names.” 
“That’s alright, dear,” Vex assures her. “What do you want to be called?” 
Gwen shuffles nervously, “Well…I was thinking Mercy.” 
“Mercy,” Vex tries out, “it’s beautiful. Can I ask why you picked it?” 
Gwen nods, “You showed me your bow, you said the word on it means forgive.” Vex nods. “Well, I thought about it and I…I want to be like you, merciful.” She looks at her father, “And it rhymes with your name.” 
“That it does, dear,” Percy taps her nose. “Mercy. It suits you.”
Gwen grins at the praise, "Really?"
Vex nods with a thoughtful hum, "It might take some time for us to get used to, but it's a beautiful name for you."
Preening even more, Gwen nestles between her parents with a soft smile. All of her early anxiety is gone at their acceptance of her. She can't wait to tell Zahra.
