Wizards of the Coast has released a new Dungeons & Dragons: The Legend of Drizzt animated short titled Sleep Sound, and it reintroduces the origin story of the iconic D&D hero, Drizzt Do'Urden. The animated short is written by author R.A. Salvatore, who's known for his Forgotten Realms novels, and it's narrated by Doctor Strange star Benedict Cumberbatch. 

You can watch Sleep Sound below: 

Drizzt is a drow elf escaping the shadows of Lolth to forge a path up to the light. A hero who is following the compass of his conscience into the blinding world above, and hoping it will lead him to people worthy of his sacrifice. The video also features Drizzt's feline companion, Guenhwyvar. To discover more about Drizzt, visit legendofdrizzt.com
