00:00:01Get those banners hoisted. Straighten the garlands.
00:00:04Bring the wine to the guests. Now!
00:00:09Today's a blessed day. The old gods are smiling on us.
00:00:20Whose wretched carriage is this?
00:00:22Have you any idea what day it is?
00:00:24You're blocking Lady Isabella's path on her wedding day.
00:00:27Bring me Alistair.
00:00:29You dare speak his name? You're not fit to breed the same air.
00:00:34I am Morgana. I have come to collect what is mine.
00:00:43I'll fetch him right away!
00:00:49Sixty years. You've had my eyes. Now I want them back.
00:00:53A grand day. My daughter marries a prince.
00:00:57My lord! My lord!
00:01:00Control yourself.
00:01:02A woman at the gates. She says her name is Morgana.
00:01:06She demands to see you. Now.
00:01:11Morgana.
00:01:14Forgive me. I didn't know you were coming.
00:01:17House Alistram is yours.
00:01:18Show us mercy.
00:01:20My lord. You are a duke.
00:01:22You kneel to no one but the king.
00:01:24One more word.
00:01:25And I'll cut it out myself.
00:01:28My lady. Please.
00:01:47Mind the steps, my lady.
00:01:54The sky turns.
00:02:04I have to leave you here.
00:02:05Sixth year ago, I broke myself into twelve embers.
00:02:11The throne was secured.
00:02:13It is time.
00:02:19To reclaim them all.
00:02:25My lady, please, rest inside. I will bring it to you myself.
00:02:29It is exactly where you left it, my lady. Untouched.
00:02:34You give it up so easily.
00:02:35It was never mine to keep.
00:02:37You know what it built. Your entire dynasty.
00:02:41Hundreds years of power. Titles. The crown's favor.
00:02:45The gift of seeing into men's hearts.
00:02:48Without it, you are nothing but a blind man stumbling in the dark.
00:02:52The blood covenant my grandfather sworn binds every generation after him.
00:02:56House Alistair owes you everything it has, and everything it is.
00:03:00You have my word. I will honor the pact. Willingly.
00:03:06The old man bred well. An obedient heir.
00:03:16Since when does my father kneel for peasants?
00:03:20The Iris Ember, my lady.
00:03:24A covenant is a trade. I take back what is mine.
00:03:27And I leave you one truth.
00:03:30The old laws demand it.
00:03:33Ask your question.
00:03:35My lady.
00:03:36In a few days, Isabella weds the crown prince.
00:03:40I need to...
00:03:42I need to know what waits for her.
00:03:44You want to know if she lives.
00:03:46Without my Ember watching over her.
00:03:49What her crown will cost.
00:03:51Yes.
00:03:51Please, tell me her fate.
00:03:54Bring the girl to me.
00:03:57Mother!
00:03:58The night before my royal wedding,
00:04:00some blind woman in funeral rags walks into our home,
00:04:04and father knelt for her.
00:04:06Tell me the truth.
00:04:08Is she one of his lowborn mistresses?
00:04:10Crawling here to beg for coin?
00:04:13If we allow that woman to stand in our halls
00:04:16without putting her on her knees,
00:04:18she will believe she belongs here.
00:04:22And we cannot have that.
00:04:24Then let's remind her how this house treats beggars.
00:04:32I assumed we were hosting royalty
00:04:36for my husband to grovel so.
00:04:39To greet you himself,
00:04:40I simply had to see who...
00:04:51Magana, was it?
00:04:53You are a guest in my halls.
00:04:56Drink.
00:05:01Your wine, my lady.
00:05:03A blind witch.
00:05:06This shall prove to me.
00:05:16But...
00:05:17I told them to boil it!
00:05:19Doorish vintage.
00:05:21Pity it turned to vinegar.
00:05:23Masked with...
00:05:24heavy spice.
00:05:26Poured from the rot
00:05:28at the bottom of your cellar.
00:05:29Is this...
00:05:30how House Alistair hides its decay?
00:05:33How could she possibly smell that?
00:05:35She knows.
00:05:36How could she know?
00:05:37You insolent wretch!
00:05:40Keep your filthy mouth!
00:05:45By his wits alone
00:05:47did Lord Alistair survive.
00:05:48Isabella, your gown!
00:05:50A tragedy.
00:05:51His bloodline rots with you.
00:05:54How dare you!
00:05:55My husband may tolerate your delusions,
00:05:58but I will not!
00:05:59You just assaulted the future crown,
00:06:01Christess!
00:06:02By royal decree,
00:06:03you will kneel
00:06:03and you will bleed for it!
00:06:06She is a fool.
00:06:07You are worse.
00:06:08Even the gods of the underworld
00:06:10have yet to see
00:06:11me kneel.
00:06:14Why would you?
00:06:16We shall see.
00:06:18Guards, take her!
00:06:24And break her legs.
00:06:26Do it.
00:06:32Seize her!
00:06:33Now!
00:06:48Stop!
00:06:50Stop this at once!
00:06:52Fools!
00:06:56Morgana,
00:06:57they know nothing.
00:06:59They acted out of turn.
00:07:01Spare them!
00:07:02I beg of you.
00:07:04Alistair!
00:07:05Father!
00:07:06Both of you,
00:07:07you blind,
00:07:08arrogant fools.
00:07:10She chose restraint
00:07:11or you would already be ashes
00:07:13upon this floor.
00:07:14On your knees,
00:07:16beg for your lives.

00:07:23I will wear the crown.
00:07:25I will rule this realm.
00:07:29I am a queen.
00:07:31She is just a...
00:07:36a pity.
00:07:39No crown rests on a dead woman.
00:07:44You will die before the wedding bells ring.
00:07:51Nobody is human.
00:08:02No!

00:12:46We're safe.
00:12:47He earned his coin.
00:12:52You fight well, mortal.
00:12:54Pity it changes nothing.
00:12:56I do not guess.
00:12:59The grave is dug.
00:13:02The hour is here.
00:13:03Step forward, future Empress.
00:13:11Isabella, my love finally.
00:13:18No!
00:13:20God!
00:13:29The prophecy.
00:13:31She knew.
00:13:32How?
00:13:33She was right there.
00:13:35The prophecy is fulfilled.
00:13:37Her blood is spilled.
00:13:39You killed my daughter!
00:13:41Your daughter's death was a tragedy.
00:13:43Eleanor, don't provoke her.
00:13:44Look at the carriage.
00:13:46The doors were sealed.
00:13:47Who else could bypass those locks?
00:13:50Enough!
00:13:51Seal the gates.
00:13:52Nobody leaves this yort yard.
00:13:53You're all suspects.
00:13:55Take them to the Iron Court!
00:14:02We're alone.
00:14:03Just tell me the damn truth.
00:14:04How did you reach inside a moving heavily guarded carriage and take her head without a single sound?
00:14:11You mapped out her execution beforehand.
00:14:15Fine.
00:14:17Say you didn't swing the blade yourself.
00:14:20But you orchestrated this.
00:14:24If that comforts you, you may use it.
00:14:30I see the threads.
00:14:33Every drop of blood before it falls.
00:14:36The end is written.
00:14:38You're just walking the path blind.
00:14:41Cut the riddles.
00:14:42You're in my cell now.
00:14:46If you see everything, then what happens next?
00:14:50Does the blade slip?
00:14:52Does the steel bite?
00:14:53Or maybe I'm just sick of your games and slit your throat right now!
00:14:56Did you see that?!
00:15:01A seer is blind to her own end.
00:15:04That is the only law I obey.
00:15:07Then tell me how this ends.
00:15:10But you cannot kill me, Cedric.
00:15:15Let's put that to the test.
00:15:17Steel cannot touch me.
00:15:22By drawing it on me, you owe a deadly debt.
00:15:26Madness.
00:15:26I serve the crown.
00:15:28I don't fear witches.
00:15:32Still believe in hard facts, Commander?
00:15:35Commander!
00:15:37We have a situation.
00:15:38The prisoners from the ambush, sir.
00:15:40They took poison.
00:15:42Hidden in their teeth.
00:15:43They're all dead.
00:15:44Trails cold.
00:15:45Dead?!
00:15:46You let our only witnesses die in chains?!
00:15:48They were paid to die.
00:15:50They'd never talk.
00:15:52You want the true killer?
00:15:54Stop asking the living.
00:15:56They only lie.
00:15:56I'll make the dead speak.
00:16:05You said you could make the dead speak.
00:16:07Name your price.
00:16:09There's always a price with you.
00:16:11Always.
00:16:12Name it.
00:16:13Whatever closes this investigation.
00:16:16I want your absolute obedience.
00:16:19When I speak, you do not question.
00:16:23When I point, you do not hesitate.
00:16:25My loyalty is to the crown.
00:16:28I don't give blind trust.
00:16:29I have the killer.
00:16:31If you put the murderer in front of me, then you have my trust.
00:16:36Don't make a vow you can't keep, Commander.
00:16:39You have my word.
00:16:40I won't break it.
00:16:46Take this.
00:16:47Sew her head back on.
00:16:49You want me to mutilate a royal corpse?
00:16:51Every second you wait, she fades.
00:16:57Her soul is bleeding out.
00:17:01It's done.
00:17:03What now?
00:17:04Open the doors.
00:17:07Bring them all.
00:17:08The grieving father.
00:17:10The weeping mother.
00:17:12Bring the prince who lost his bride.
00:17:15We are going to hold a court of our own.
00:17:23Isabella!
00:17:24My baby!
00:17:25Oh, God!
00:17:27Hold her back.
00:17:27Don't let her touch the body.
00:17:28Let me go!
00:17:29That's my daughter!
00:17:31Why is she here?
00:17:32Why is that blind woman in the judge's seat?
00:17:35Commander Ashworth, she killed her!
00:17:38She cursed my daughter and you let her sit there!
00:17:41His Royal Highness, Prince Kale!
00:17:45Isabella!
00:17:46Let me through!
00:17:47Isabella, no.
00:17:49Look what they did to you, my beautiful girl.
00:17:52The audience is here.
00:17:54Let the performance end.
00:17:57Flesh to thread.
00:18:00Bone to command.
00:18:03Rise.
00:18:09You demanded proof, Commander.
00:18:12Behold the truth.
00:18:14You wove the crimson soul thread yourself.
00:18:17The bond is forged ask her Isabella Alastom is your killer here
00:18:51Keep that thing away. She's bewitched
00:18:59The crown is ours father
00:19:15Edmund Alaston
00:19:22Now confess
00:19:28Edmund Alaston do you confess I confess to nothing you sick witch
00:19:36You killed her you puppeted her corpse to frame us
00:19:41He took you in you repay us with blood
00:19:45This is madness a father doesn't slaughter his own blood
00:19:50Isabella was my pride
00:19:52Why would I destroy my own future see the truth his own blood that's true
00:20:00But what if that girl was never your blood at all
00:20:05Eleanor
00:20:06Why did the emperor betroth isabella to prince kale it was destiny the emperor declared it
00:20:13They were born the exact same hour
00:20:17Blessed by the gods
00:20:20Wait
00:20:21It's impossible
00:20:22Edmund tell me you didn't
00:20:26I had to secure our bloodline
00:20:32Give me the child I must see
00:20:34Tell the truth is it a boy
00:20:37A girl my lady
00:20:39A girl no you're lying
00:20:42A daughter just as I said
00:20:45Why me
00:20:49The consort is waiting if it's a boy
00:20:53I'm ruined
00:20:54Breathe my lady
00:20:55Panic is a luxury we can't afford
00:20:57Duke Alistair has already arranged a solution
00:20:59Bring the bundle inside
00:21:01Now
00:21:05Look closely
00:21:07Pure Alistair blood
00:21:09A flawless son
00:21:10Yours if you dare
00:21:14A son
00:21:16From now on you are mine
00:21:18The true heir of this house
00:21:22My son
00:21:23My heir
00:21:43You're telling this court I'm Duke Alistair's son
00:21:47No no no no
00:21:51I am the crown prince
00:21:55It can't be
00:21:56How could my husband do such a thing
00:22:00This is treason
00:22:01What could he possibly want to risk all our lives
00:22:04What did he want
00:22:06Your son sitting on the throne
00:22:08That's what he wanted
00:22:12You need proof to make such claims
00:22:15This dark sorcery proves absolutely nothing
00:22:17Lord Alistair
00:22:19If I had to guess
00:22:20The moment the emperor degreed Isabella's marriage
00:22:23You realized if she entered the royal court
00:22:25The crown would eventually discover her secret
00:22:27So you hired a pack of mercenaries
00:22:29To stage a bandit raid on the carriage
00:22:31But Morgana's warning put my guard on alert
00:22:34You feared with extra men your hired killers wouldn't be able to finish the job
00:22:37So you killed your own daughter before she left
00:22:39And as for your loyal servants
00:22:41They break much faster than paid assassins
00:22:43Commander
00:22:44Commander Ashworth
00:22:45Lord Alistair's personal guard
00:22:46They've confessed to everything
00:22:47The signed confessions
00:22:49They admit the duke ordered them to silence Isabella before she even left
00:22:57My entire life of scheming
00:23:01All crushed by fate's cruel hand
00:23:05The eye you granted us gave house Alistair absolute power
00:23:10Unmatched wealth
00:23:12Unmatched glory
00:23:13But the emperor still stood above me
00:23:16Until that day
00:23:18When I saw
00:23:21I saw
00:23:22I saw the truth
00:23:29If my son took the cradle
00:23:31He'd rule
00:23:32He'd rule the world
00:23:34But the vision didn't end there
00:23:36I saw the flaw that would kill us
00:23:38The decree
00:23:39The royal wedding
00:23:41If Isabella entered that palace
00:23:44He would see my daughter
00:23:47He'd see the exact face of the young empress
00:23:51He's not blind
00:23:53He'd know exactly what I did
00:23:56I had no choice
00:23:57You must see that
00:23:59I had to cut the rot out
00:24:02I had to protect my family
00:24:04My son will be emperor
00:24:06I had to
00:24:11Morgana I confess it all
00:24:14Punish me alone
00:24:15I beg you look at me
00:24:17Remember my father's loyalty

00:31:39does she really despise me that much
00:31:41why do you think she treats you
00:31:43with such coldness
00:31:46because of what i did

00:31:50when i was a boy
00:31:51i almost died
00:31:53my sister came for me
00:31:55and the iron drove through her right arm in my place
00:31:58she was never the same again
00:32:03she was a master healer
00:32:04those gifted hands
00:32:07she could bring the dying back to life
00:32:08but because of me the scar on her arm never faded
00:32:12and she was taken from me forever
00:32:13she became a completely different person after that
00:32:16the hartman shard was hers by birthright
00:32:20with its power she became the greatest healer in the kingdom
00:32:23and then they sent her far away
00:32:24to a quiet abbey
00:32:26where she could practice in peace
00:32:28but i know the truth
00:32:30that day
00:32:31became a thorn in her heart
00:32:33one that will never be pulled out

00:32:36she remembers what saving me cost her

00:54:41remember your oath
00:54:56the hartman shard
00:54:58it's time it returned to you
00:54:59you took another piece of your power straight into yourself
00:55:03will you absorb this one too
00:55:18i think it was gonna be possible for you
00:55:34you took three months to go
00:55:34a real life
00:55:34you took one inch to go
00:55:36Please! Help us! Have mercy!
00:55:43Talk to me. Did the exorcism drain you? Are you hurt?
00:55:48I am not hurt. When I pulled the Hartman Shard from your sister, I absorbed 30 years of her memories.
00:55:54Every single day she spent trapped in that house.
00:55:57There's an echo now. A pressure in my chest.
00:56:00You have a rule. You reclaim a piece of your power. You owe the bloodline one truth. One ember. One
00:56:07question.
00:56:09Maren gave her whole youth to keep me alive. She never got to ask her question.
00:56:15Maren.
00:56:16So I'll ask it for her. Look into your prophecy, Morgana. Did my sister's sacrifice mean anything? Tell me.
00:56:25Your sister asked what waits for you in the North. I didn't lie to her. So I'll tell you exactly
00:56:30what I saw.
00:56:31There is a line drawn across your fate. A terminal point.
00:56:35If you follow me to Ironwall, if you walk into Ravencrest at my side, you will stand before someone and
00:56:41bleed until there is nothing left.
00:56:43And you will die. That is the end of it.
00:56:47In front of who? Who do I bleed for?
00:56:50Me.
00:56:52Knowing this.
00:56:54Knowing that every step north is a step towards your own grave.
00:56:58And you still want to come with me.
00:57:00Forget it. It doesn't matter.
00:57:05You are ordered to stay behind. I walk into Ironwall alone. I don't need a shield.
00:57:11I swore an oath to you. I stand between you and whatever comes. I'm going.
00:57:21I told you how this ends. Are you not afraid?
00:57:27I lead the Obsidian Guard. I have walked into the dark more times than I can count.
00:57:33Every time they said I wouldn't walk out. Every time they said the odds were broken.
00:57:39And I am still standing here. Let them come. I will survive it. And I will walk you out of
00:57:45Ironwall myself.
00:57:55Hold the gate! I am Cedric Ashworth, commander of the Obsidian Guards. Hold the gates!
00:58:02Guards...
00:58:02They're here! Fall back! Bar the gates!
00:58:08Rear!
00:58:19Ring of Steel. Protect Morgana!
00:58:22Bar the gates!

01:04:25two years ago at the blood water siege

01:04:31but the royal court was busy preparing the emperor's jubilee
01:04:34the army never marched her husband died in the mud left her and the child alone

01:10:43Oh, my God.
01:11:00Sis, you came.
01:11:04Sister, I... What is happening to me? Where are we?
01:11:08Your mortal life is ended, but your obsession anchored you here.
01:11:14Your soul was twisted by inner demons and the Shard.
01:11:18You are nothing but a lingering phantom now.
01:11:44I remember the vow.
01:11:49I gave you my word to hold this fortress, to bleed for the innocent.
01:11:56But the dead are here.
01:11:59The wolves are at the gates.
01:12:02I... I dare not leave.
01:12:04Enough, Thorn.
01:12:06You have bled enough.
01:12:07Your bloodline.
01:12:11Your men.
01:12:14I...
01:12:14Come on.
01:12:15Come on.
01:12:40Come on.
01:12:47let the obsession die
01:12:51you must go
01:12:53whatever my sister commands
01:12:57Thorn will always
01:12:59obey
01:13:01but before I
01:13:03return the shard
01:13:05Morgana
01:13:06may I ask you one question
01:13:12what did you want to ask?
01:13:16all these years
01:13:19alone in the dark
01:13:24were you alright Morgana?
01:13:40you won't
01:13:41touch her
01:13:42I was fine
01:13:49that is
01:13:51good
01:13:55I don't know
01:13:56I don't know
01:14:29The witch.
01:14:42So, this is the death you saw for me?
01:14:46You are never wrong.
01:14:50Morgana, it seems I won't be here to help you take back what is yours.
01:15:13Morgana, I make no grand claims, but I swear I will help you take it all back.
01:15:37Monster.
01:15:38Monster, you godless monster!
01:15:54This world is sick.
01:16:03Finn, why would you do this?
01:16:06My brother, he died because the crown, because the crown never sent reinforcements.
01:16:13He bled out in the snow, and ever since then, I haven't seen you smile, but not truly.
01:16:21I was so close, just a little more, and I could have taken you away from this prison.
01:16:30You foolish boy.
01:16:33Frostfire is no prison.
01:16:36Look at the people behind these walls.
01:16:38The thousands we pulled from the slaughter.
01:16:40The soldiers I trained with my own hands.
01:16:43Every block of black stone, every frozen inch of the north, holds my blood.
01:16:49Nothing has ever trapped me.
01:16:50This is the line I chose to hold.
01:16:54Frostfire is my home, Finn.
01:16:56And I will defend it.
01:16:58Until I break.
01:17:01I thought...
01:17:02I thought you hated the crown.
01:17:06I only wanted to break your chains.
01:17:14I do hate the crown.
01:17:16But I love the north.
01:17:17I love our people.
01:17:19I am holding this line for your brother.
01:17:21So the children hear.
01:17:23So my own daughter can sleep without fear of the slaughter.
01:17:26So it was just me.
01:17:29I was the only one who couldn't let go.
01:17:34Take me away.
01:17:36I will.
01:17:37I'll take you south.
01:17:39I want to sleep beneath the roses.
01:17:54Why the Frost Spire?
01:17:55Why Thorn Ravencrest?
01:17:57My youngest student.
01:17:59Still breathes.
01:18:00I need to see him.
01:18:03And the Ravencrest piece of the crown.
01:18:05What is it, exactly?
01:18:06A drop of my own blood.
01:18:08The Undying Spark.
01:18:10Your blood?
01:18:11No wonder your skin is like ice.
01:18:13Morgana.
01:18:14How did you lose your eyes?
01:18:15Sixty winters ago.
01:18:17The realm was drowning in its own blood.
01:18:21To buy them a dawn.
01:18:23I offered my own flesh and soul.
01:18:26I stripped everything away.
01:18:29Bound it to the obsidian.
01:18:31Twelve fragments.
01:18:32Given to twelve disciples.
01:18:34To save this world.
01:18:37Sixty years have passed.
01:18:38My students took that power.
01:18:41And forged twelve great bloodlines.
01:18:44And now...
01:18:45There is peace.
01:18:47Now I take back what is mine.
01:18:50Morgana.
01:18:51What else are you missing?
01:18:53You never change your boots.
01:18:54I've never seen you eat.
01:18:56Or sleep for that matter.
01:18:59Silence.
01:19:08Morgana.
01:19:10I will help you get it all back.
01:19:14Every last piece.
01:19:16You have my word.
01:19:19No matter what it takes.
01:19:21No matter the cost.
01:19:30Sixty years ago.
01:19:31To buy this realm a breath of life.
01:19:34I gave my own flesh and soul to the forge.
01:19:38No attachments.
01:19:40No desires.
01:19:42I told you to run.
01:19:44But of course.
01:19:46Fate demands its due.
01:19:55Would you still draw your blade for me?
01:19:58Knowing it will only lead to your grave.
01:20:00I am going.
01:20:02I've commanded the vanguard for years.
01:20:05I've faced death more times than I can count.
01:20:08But I have never lost.
01:20:10And I will not lose this time either.
01:20:31I can't do it.
01:20:36No matter what.
