00:00:00Get those banners hoisted. Straighten the garlands. Bring the wine to the guests. Now.
00:00:08Today's a blessed day. The old gods are smiling on us.
00:00:19Whose wretched carriage is this? Have you any idea what day it is?
00:00:23You're blocking Lady Isabella's path on her wedding day.
00:00:27Bring me Alistair.
00:00:28You dare speak his name? You're not fit to breathe the same air.
00:00:33I am Morgana. I have come to collect what is mine.
00:00:42I'll fetch him right away.
00:00:48Sixty years. You've had my eyes. Now I want them back.
00:00:52A grand day. My daughter marries a prince.
00:00:56My lord! My lord!
00:00:59Control yourself.
00:01:01A woman at the gates. She says her name is Morgana. She demands to see you. Now.
00:01:11Morgana.
00:01:13Forgive me. I didn't know you were coming. House Alistram is yours. Show us mercy.
00:01:19My lord. You are a duke. You kneel to no one but the king.
00:01:23One more word. And I'll cut it out myself.
00:01:27My lady. Please.
00:01:47Mind the steps, my lady.
00:01:53The sky turns.
00:01:55The sky turns.
00:02:03Sixty years ago, I broke myself into twelve embers.
00:02:10The throne was secured. It is time...
00:02:19...to reclaim them all.
00:02:24My lady, please, rest inside. I will bring it to you myself.
00:02:29It is exactly where you left it, my lady. Untouched.
00:02:33You 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 favour.
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.
00:02:51The 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 honour the pact. Willingly.
00:03:07The old man bred well. An obedient heir.
00:03:16Since when does my father kneel for peasants?
00:03:20The iris ember, my lady.
00:03:23A covenant is a trade. I take back what is mine. And I leave you one truth.
00:03:30The old laws demand it. Ask your question.
00:03:34My lady. In a few days, Isabella weds the crown prince. I need to... I need to know what waits
00:03:43for her.
00:03:44You want to know if she lives. Without my ember watching over her. What her crown will cost.
00:03:50Yes. Please. Tell me her fate.
00:03:54Bring the girl to me.
00:03:57Mother. The night before my royal wedding, some blind woman in funeral rags walks into our home.
00:04:03And father knelt for her. Tell me the truth. Is she one of his lowborn mistresses? Crawling here to beg
00:04:12for coin?
00:04:13If we allow that woman to stand in our halls without putting her on her knees, she will believe she
00:04:21belongs here. And we cannot have that.
00:04:24Then let's remind her how this house treats beggars.
00:04:33I assumed we were hosting royalty. For my husband to grovel so. To greet you himself. I simply had to
00:04:42see who...
00:04:52Magana, was it? You are a guest in my halls. Drink.
00:05:01Your wine, my lady.
00:05:04A blind witch. This shall prove to you.
00:05:17But... I told them to boil it.
00:05:19Dorish vintage. Pity it turned to vinegar. Masked with... heavy spice.
00:05:27Poured from the rot, at the bottom of your cellar. Is this... how House Alistair hides its decay?
00:05:33How could she possibly smell that? She knows. How could she know?
00:05:37No. You insolent wretch. Keep your filthy mouth!
00:05:46By his wits alone did Lord Alistair survive. Isabella, your gown!
00:05:50A tragedy. His bloodline rots with you.
00:05:54How dare you! My husband may tolerate your delusions, but I will not!
00:05:59You just assaulted the future crown princess. By royal decree, you will kneel and you will bleed for it.
00:06:06She is a fool. You are worse.
00:06:09Even the gods of the underworld have yet to see me kneel.
00:06:14Why would you?
00:06:16We shall see.
00:06:19Gods, take her!
00:06:25And break her legs. Do it!
00:06:32Seize her! Now!
00:06:34The End
00:06:35The End
00:06:42The End
00:06:43The End
00:06:45The End
00:06:46The End
00:06:47The End
00:06:48The End
00:06:48The End
00:06:49Stop!
00:06:51Stop this at once!
00:06:53Fools!
00:06:54The End
00:06:54The End
00:06:55The End
00:06:57Morgana.
00:06:58They know nothing.
00:07:00They acted out of turn.
00:07:02Spare them!
00:07:02I beg of you.
00:07:05Alistair!
00:07:06Father!
00:07:07Both of you.
00:07:08You blind, arrogant fools.
00:07:10She chose restraint.
00:07:12Or you would already be ashes upon this floor.
00:07:15On your knees.
00:07:17Beg for your lives.
00:07:19I bow to no one.
00:07:21I am the future crown princess.
00:07:24I will wear the crown.
00:07:26I will rule this realm.
00:07:30I am a queen.
00:07:31She is just a-
00:07:37A pity.
00:07:40No crown rests on a dead woman.
00:07:45You will die before the wedding bells ring.
00:08:04No.
00:08:06You!
00:08:07Get out of my house!
00:08:09Silence your tongue!
00:08:11Morgana, please.
00:08:13How do we stop this?
00:08:14Call off the royal wedding.
00:08:17Break the betrothal.
00:08:21Or...
00:08:22She dies.
00:08:31The royal escort led by the obsidian guard.
00:08:35Commander Cedric himself.
00:08:37The reaper of the realm.
00:08:44The prophecy is written.
00:08:50The king's edict.
00:08:53The king's edict.
00:09:04If Isabella rides to the palace today, it will be her funeral.
00:09:09The crown commands this union, Lord Alistair.
00:09:13My escort is already at your gates.
00:09:16You dare defy the throne over cheap politics?
00:09:20And break the royal contract?
00:09:23Unless...
00:09:24You doubt my ability to keep her breathing.
00:09:28No, commander.
00:09:30Your blade is legendary.
00:09:31Your tactics flawless.
00:09:33The king trusts no other.
00:09:35She is safe with you.
00:09:37But...
00:09:38Morgana has seen it.
00:09:40She is our only hope.
00:09:42Alistair.
00:09:43The king's patience is not infinite.
00:09:45Do not humiliate us for a blind witch.
00:09:48The crown's wrath will burn this castle to the ground.
00:09:51I will not let you ruin us.
00:09:54She is right, father.
00:09:55I am perfectly safe with the commander.
00:09:58Have the carriage ready.
00:09:59I will fetch my veil.
00:10:06Isabella!
00:10:07Let her go.
00:10:09The hour is set.
00:10:11My debt shall be claimed when the blood runs dry.
00:10:24I'm ready, father.
00:10:26The crown is mine.
00:10:28Our legacy begins.
00:10:32My daughter.
00:10:33Our ultimate masterpiece.
00:10:38Lock it down.
00:10:39Double guards.
00:10:40Kill anything that moves.
00:10:41Nothing.
00:10:42Touch that carriage.
00:10:43Are we clear?
00:10:44Crystal clear, captain.
00:10:45Consider it done.
00:10:47You're wasting men.
00:10:50The prophecy is spoken.
00:10:52The bride won't survive this journey.
00:10:54I am never wrong.
00:10:56Enlighten me then, Oracle.
00:10:58Give me a name.
00:10:59How exactly does she die?
00:11:01Give me real intel.
00:11:03Do that, I might believe you.
00:11:05Seeing the end requires a price.
00:11:08A transaction.
00:11:09I see the blood.
00:11:11The question is, can you afford it?
00:11:15There it is.
00:11:16The classic shakedown.
00:11:18We always get here.
00:11:19Just a beggar.
00:11:20I could watch the Duke's daughter in her wedding dress.
00:11:23Perfectly protected by your elite guards.
00:11:25Ride straight to her execution.
00:11:27Let me ride with your convoy.
00:11:30Take me.
00:11:32I'll prove you wrong.
00:11:38Play the prophet.
00:11:39Watch her cross those gates alive.
00:11:44I'll feel the blood.
00:11:49Bring the oracle a horse.
00:12:08Cultivate.
00:12:09Should be aeman.
00:12:09You will die.ç·©Â
00:12:33Take me.
00:12:37Take them to the Iron Court
00:12:39I want a name
00:12:40Yes, Commander
00:12:48Thank the gods Cedric was here
00:12:51We're safe
00:12:52He earned his coin
00:12:57You fight well, mortal
00:13:00Pity it changes nothing
00:13:01I do not guess
00:13:04The grave is dug
00:13:06The hour is here
00:13:09Step forward, future Empress
00:13:17Isabella
00:13:18My love, finally
00:13:24No! God!
00:13:35The prophecy, she knew
00:13:38How?
00:13:39She was right there
00:13:40The prophecy is fulfilled
00:13:43Her blood is spilled
00:13:45You killed my daughter
00:13:47Your daughter's death was a tragedy
00:13:49Eleanor, don't provoke her
00:13:50Look at the carriage!
00:13:52The doors were sealed!
00:13:53Who else could bypass those locks?
00:13:56Enough!
00:13:57Seal the gates!
00:13:58Nobody leaves this yort yard!
00:13:59You're all suspects!
00:14:01Take them to the Iron Court!
00:14:08We're alone
00:14:09Just tell me the damn truth
00:14:11How did you reach inside a moving, heavily guarded carriage
00:14:15And take her head without a single sound?
00:14:18You mapped out her execution beforehand
00:14:21Fine
00:14:23Say you didn't swing the blade yourself
00:14:27But you orchestrated this
00:14:30If that comforts you
00:14:32You may use it
00:14:37I see the threads
00:14:40Every drop of blood before it falls
00:14:43The end is written
00:14:45You're just walking the path blind
00:14:47Cut the riddles
00:14:48You're in my cell now
00:14:53If you see everything
00:14:54Then what happens next?
00:14:57Does the blade slip?
00:14:58Does the steel bite?
00:15:00Or maybe I'm just sick of your games
00:15:01And slit your throat right now!
00:15:03Did you see that?
00:15:08A seer is blind to her own end
00:15:10That is the only law I obey
00:15:14Then tell me how this ends
00:15:17But you cannot kill me, Cedric
00:15:22Let's put that to the test
00:15:24Steel cannot touch me
00:15:29By drawing it on me
00:15:30You owe a deadly debt
00:15:32Madness
00:15:33I serve the crown
00:15:34I don't fear witches
00:15:38Still believe in hard facts, Commander?
00:15:42Commander!
00:15:43We have a situation
00:15:45The prisoners from the ambush, sir
00:15:47They took poison
00:15:48Hidden in their teeth
00:15:50They're all dead
00:15:51Trails cold
00:15:52Dead?
00:15:53You let our only witnesses die in chains?
00:15:55They were paid to die
00:15:56They'd never talk
00:15:58You want the true killer?
00:16:00Stop asking the living
00:16:02They only lie
00:16:03I'll make the dead speak
00:16:12I'll make the dead speak
00:16:13You said you could make the dead speak
00:16:14Name your price
00:16:17There's always a price with you
00:16:18Always
00:16:19Name it
00:16:20Whatever closes this investigation
00:16:23I want your absolute obedience
00:16:26When I speak
00:16:28You do not question
00:16:29When I point
00:16:31You do not hesitate
00:16:32My loyalty is to the crown
00:16:34I don't give blind trust
00:16:36I have the killer
00:16:38If you put the murderer
00:16:39In front of me
00:16:41Then you have my trust
00:16:43Don't make a vow
00:16:44You can't keep, Commander
00:16:46You have my word
00:16:47I won't break it
00:16:53Take this
00:16:54Sew her head back on
00:16:56You want me to mutilate
00:16:57A royal corpse?
00:16:58Every second you wait
00:17:00She fades
00:17:04Her soul is bleeding out
00:17:08It's done
00:17:10What now?
00:17:11Open the doors
00:17:14Bring them all
00:17:15The grieving father
00:17:17The weeping mother
00:17:19Bring the prince
00:17:20Who lost his bride
00:17:21We are going to hold
00:17:22A court of our own
00:17:30Isabella
00:17:31My baby
00:17:32Oh God
00:17:33Hold her back
00:17:34Don't let her touch the body
00:17:35Let me go
00:17:36That's my daughter
00:17:37Why is she here?
00:17:39Why is that blind woman
00:17:41In the judge's seat?
00:17:42Commander Ashworth
00:17:44She killed her
00:17:45She cursed my daughter
00:17:47And you let her sit there
00:17:48His royal highness
00:17:49Prince Kale
00:17:52Isabella
00:17:52Let me through
00:17:53Isabella
00:17:55No
00:17:55Look what they did to you
00:17:57My beautiful girl
00:17:59The audience is here
00:18:01Let the performance end
00:18:04Flesh to thread
00:18:06Bone to command
00:18:09Rise
00:18:16You demanded proof, Commander
00:18:19Behold the truth
00:18:21Behold the truth
00:18:23You wove the crimson soul thread yourself
00:18:25The bond is forged
00:18:28Ask her
00:18:30Isabella Alastom
00:18:32Is your killer here?
00:18:58Keep that thing away
00:19:00She's bewitched
00:19:07The crown is ours, father
00:19:09The crown is ours, father
00:19:24Edmund Alaston
00:19:29Now confess
00:19:36Edmund Alaston
00:19:38Do you confess?
00:19:40I confess to nothing
00:19:42You sick witch
00:19:43You killed her
00:19:45You puppeted her corpse
00:19:47To frame us
00:19:48He took you in
00:19:50You repay us with blood
00:19:52This is madness
00:19:54A father doesn't slaughter his own blood
00:19:57Isabella was my pride
00:20:00Why would I destroy my own future?
00:20:03See the truth
00:20:04His own blood
00:20:06That's true
00:20:08But what if that girl
00:20:09Was never your blood at all?
00:20:13Eleanor
00:20:13Why did the emperor
00:20:15Betroth Isabella to Prince Kael?
00:20:18It was destiny
00:20:19The emperor declared it
00:20:21They were born the exact same hour
00:20:25Blessed by the gods
00:20:28Wait
00:20:28It's impossible
00:20:30Edmund, tell me you didn't
00:20:34I had to secure our bloodline
00:20:40Give me the child I must see
00:20:43Tell the truth
00:20:44Is it a boy?
00:20:46A girl, my lady
00:20:48A girl?
00:20:49No, you're lying!
00:20:51A daughter
00:20:51Just as I said
00:20:53Why me?
00:20:58The consort is waiting
00:21:00If it's a boy
00:21:01I'm ruined
00:21:02Breathe, my lady
00:21:03Panic is a luxury we can't afford
00:21:06Duke Alistair has already arranged a solution
00:21:08Bring the bundle inside
00:21:10Now
00:21:14Look closely
00:21:15Pure Alistair blood
00:21:17A flawless son
00:21:19Yours, if you dare
00:21:22A son
00:21:24From now on you are mine
00:21:26The true heir of this house
00:21:30My son
00:21:31My heir
00:21:52You're telling this court I'm Duke Alistair's son
00:21:56No, no, no, no
00:21:59I am the crown prince
00:22:04It can't be
00:22:05How could my husband do such a thing?
00:22:08This is treason
00:22:09What could he possibly want to risk all our lives?
00:22:13What did he want?
00:22:14Your son
00:22:15Sitting on the throne
00:22:17That's what he wanted
00:22:21You need proof to make such claims
00:22:23This dark sorcery proves absolutely nothing
00:22:26Lord Alistair
00:22:28If I had to guess
00:22:29The moment the emperor degreed Isabella's marriage
00:22:32You realized if she entered the royal court
00:22:34The crown would eventually discover her secret
00:22:36So you hired a pack of mercenaries
00:22:38To stage a bandit raid on the carriage
00:22:40But Morgana's warning put my guard on alert
00:22:43You feared with extra men your hired killers wouldn't be able to finish the job
00:22:46So you killed your own daughter before she left
00:22:48And as for your loyal servants
00:22:50They break much faster than paid assassins
00:22:52Commander
00:22:53Commander Ashworth
00:22:54Lord Alistair's personal guard
00:22:56They've confessed to everything
00:22:57The signed confessions
00:22:58They admit the duke
00:23:00Ordered them to silence Isabella
00:23:01Before she even left
00:23:07My entire life of scheming
00:23:10All crushed by fate's cruel hand
00:23:14The eye you granted us
00:23:16Gave House Alistair
00:23:17Absolute power
00:23:19Unmatched wealth
00:23:20Unmatched glory
00:23:22But the emperor still stood above me
00:23:25Until that day
00:23:26When I saw
00:23:30I saw
00:23:31I saw the truth
00:23:38If my son took the cradle
00:23:41He'd rule the world
00:23:43But the vision didn't end there
00:23:45I saw the flaw that would kill us
00:23:48The decree
00:23:49The royal wedding
00:23:50If Isabella entered that palace
00:23:53He would see my daughter
00:23:57He'd see the exact face
00:23:59Of the young empress
00:24:00He's not blind
00:24:03He'd know exactly what I did
00:24:05I had no choice
00:24:07You must see that
00:24:09I had to cut the rot out
00:24:11I had to protect my family
00:24:13My son will be emperor
00:24:15I had to
00:24:21Morgana, I confess it all
00:24:23Punish me alone
00:24:24I beg you, look at me
00:24:26Remember my father's loyalty

00:31:51does she really despise me that much
00:31:54why do you think she treats you with such coldness
00:31:58because of what i did

00:32:02when i was a boy
00:32:04i almost died
00:32:05my sister came for me
00:32:07and the iron drove through her right arm in my place
00:32:10she was never the same again
00:32:15she was a master healer
00:32:17those gifted hands
00:32:19she could bring the dying back to life
00:32:21but because of me the scar on her arm never faded
00:32:24and she was taken from me forever
00:32:26she became a completely different person after that
00:32:28the hartman's shard was hers by birthright
00:32:32with its power she became the greatest healer in the kingdom
00:32:35and then they sent her far away
00:32:37to a quiet abbey where she could practice in peace
00:32:40but i know the truth
00:32:42that day
00:32:43became a thorn in her heart
00:32:45one that will never be pulled out

00:32:49she remembers what saving me cost her
00:32:51everything is bound by consequence commander

01:11:16Let's go.
01:11:28Sis, you came.
01:11:32Sister, I... What is happening to me? Where are we?
01:11:36Your mortal life is ended, but your obsession anchored you here.
01:11:42Your soul was twisted by inner demons and the Shard.
01:11:47You are nothing but a lingering phantom now.
01:12:11Yes.
01:12:14I remember the vow.
01:12:17I gave you my word to hold this fortress, to bleed for the innocent.
01:12:25But the dead are here.
01:12:27The wolves are at the gates.
01:12:30I... I dare not leave.
01:12:33Enough, Thorn.
01:12:34You have bled enough.
01:12:37Your bloodline.
01:12:40Your men.
01:12:52I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I...
01:13:10I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I...

01:13:10I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I
01:13:16Let the obsession die
01:13:20You must go
01:13:22Whatever my sister commands
01:13:26Thorn will always obey
01:13:30But before I return the shard
01:13:35Morgana, may I ask you one question?
01:13:42What did you want to ask?
01:13:45All these years
01:13:49Alone in the dark
01:13:53Were you alright, Morgana?
01:14:09You won't!
01:14:11Touch her!
01:14:13I was fine
01:14:19That is good
01:14:35I was fine
01:14:36I was fine
01:14:36I was fine
01:14:36I was fine
01:14:58Witch
01:15:00Witch
01:15:12So this is the death you saw for me
01:15:15You are never wrong
01:15:19Morgana
01:15:20It seems I won't be here to help you
01:15:24Take back what is yours
01:15:43I make no grand claims
01:15:47But I swear
01:15:48But I swear
01:15:48I will help you take it all back
01:16:07Monster
01:16:08Monster
01:16:09Monster
01:16:10You godless monster
01:16:11Monster
01:16:24This world
01:16:26This world is sick
01:16:33Finn
01:16:34Why would you do this?
01:16:37My brother
01:16:38He died because the crown
01:16:41Because the crown never sent reinforcements
01:16:44He bled out in the snow
01:16:46And ever since then
01:16:48I haven't seen you smile
01:16:50Not truly
01:16:53I was so close
01:16:55Just a little more
01:16:57Than I could have taken you
01:17:00Away from this prison
01:17:03You foolish boy
01:17:07Frostfire is now prison
01:17:09Look at the people behind these walls
01:17:11The thousands we pulled from the slaughter
01:17:13The soldiers I trained with my own hands
01:17:16Every block of black stone
01:17:18Every frozen inch of the north
01:17:20Holds my blood
01:17:22Nothing has ever trapped me
01:17:24This is the line I chose to hold
01:17:27Frostfire is my home, Finn
01:17:29And I will defend it
01:17:31Until I break
01:17:35I thought
01:17:36I thought you hated the crown
01:17:39I only wanted to break your chains
01:17:47I do hate the crown
01:17:49But I love the north
01:17:50I love our people
01:17:52I am holding this line for your brother
01:17:54So the children hear
01:17:56So my own daughter
01:17:57Can sleep without fear of the slaughter
01:17:59So it was just me
01:18:02I was the only one
01:18:03Who couldn't let go
01:18:07Take me away
01:18:09I will
01:18:10I'll take you south
01:18:12I want to sleep
01:18:15Beneath
01:18:15The roses
01:18:27Why the Frostfire?
01:18:29Why Thorn Ravencrest?
01:18:31My youngest student
01:18:32Still breathes
01:18:34I need to see him
01:18:36And the Ravencrest piece of the crown
01:18:38What is it, exactly?
01:18:40A drop of my own blood
01:18:42The Undying Spark
01:18:43Your blood?
01:18:44No wonder your skin is like ice
01:18:47Morgana
01:18:48How did you lose your eyes?
01:18:50Sixty winters ago
01:18:51The realm was drowning in its own blood
01:18:55To buy them a dawn
01:18:56I offered my own flesh and soul
01:19:00I stripped everything away
01:19:02Bound it to the obsidian
01:19:04Twelve fragments
01:19:05Given to twelve disciples
01:19:08To save this world
01:19:09Sixty years have passed
01:19:12My students took that power
01:19:14And forged twelve great bloodlines
01:19:17And now
01:19:18There is peace
01:19:20Now I take back what is mine
01:19:24Morgana
01:19:25What else are you missing?
01:19:27You never change your boots
01:19:28I've never seen you eat
01:19:29Or sleep for that matter
01:19:32Your hair turned white
01:19:33Silence
01:19:43Morgana
01:19:43Morgana
01:19:45I will help you get it all back
01:19:49Every last piece
01:19:51You have my word
01:19:54No matter what it takes
01:19:56No matter the cost
01:20:05Sixty years ago
01:20:06To buy this realm a breath of life
01:20:10I gave my own flesh and soul to the forge
01:20:13No attachments
01:20:16No desires
01:20:17I told you to run
01:20:20But of course
01:20:21Fate demands its due
01:20:32Would you still draw your blade for me
01:20:35Knowing it will only lead to your grave
01:20:37I am going
01:20:39I've commanded the vanguard for years
01:20:41I've faced death more times than I can count
01:20:44But I have never lost
01:20:47And I will not lose this time either
01:21:20I will not lose this time either
01:21:23My lady
01:21:24Forgive me
01:21:27Assassins
01:21:42This
01:21:43Southern blood magic
01:21:45They say one puppet butchers ten men
01:21:48And I tore them apart before they could even blink
01:21:50I feel like I could rip through solid iron
01:21:52You were bleeding to death
01:21:54No medicine could save you
01:21:56So I bound a fraction of my shard to your fading heart
01:22:00Tethered your life to mine
01:22:01With my power in your veins
01:22:03No mortal man can stand against you
01:22:06You could have run
01:22:07You chose to stay
01:22:10You accepted my gift
01:22:13From now on
01:22:14You are bound to my will
01:22:16Are we clear?
01:22:19So I am no better than these husks
01:22:21I'm just your puppet
01:22:24Do not compare yourself to such pathetic trash
01:22:27They are nothing like you
01:22:32You
01:22:34You are my masterpiece
01:22:48That shard of the crown
01:22:50Was torn from my own veins
01:22:54A single drop of my heart's blood
01:22:59I never thought
01:23:00You would waste such a priceless piece of yourself on me
01:23:03I never thought
01:23:03I'd even be alive
01:23:05My lady
01:23:06You always said your prophecies are absolute
01:23:09Never wrong
01:23:09To give me the shard
01:23:11To force me to live
01:23:12Isn't this
01:23:13Defying the gods themselves?
01:23:15Taking the heart back
01:23:16Was a mistake
01:23:23Morgana
01:23:27Farewell
01:23:28Be wary
01:23:30Without the primordial crown's shard
01:23:32The horde will show no mercy
01:23:35I know the risks
01:23:36But I command this gate
01:23:38Shard or no shard
01:23:40The raven crests will hold this line
01:23:42To the last breath
01:23:47The horde is at our walls
01:23:49I ride with the vanguard
01:23:50Godspeed
01:24:04Why didn't you tell her
01:24:06About the warding spikes you planted?
01:24:08The wards are nothing
01:24:09Compared to the primordial blood
01:24:11Still boiling in their veins
01:24:13They will survive
01:24:18What's happening?
01:24:19Are you alright?
01:24:20I feel a disturbance
01:24:21A forbading sensation
01:24:24I have looked ahead
01:24:25I wish I had not
01:24:26The road before us is dark, Cedric
01:24:45We must push forward
01:24:46Wherever you go
01:24:47I will follow
01:24:49Where to next?
01:24:51South
01:24:52To the scarlet lands
01:24:55I want to meet the fool
01:24:56Who thought they could kill me
01:24:57I want to meet the fool who thought they could kill me
