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!
00:00:28Bring me Alistair.
00:00:29You dare speak his name? You're not fit to breathe 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. She demands to see you. Now.
00:01:12Morgana.
00:01:14Forgive me. I didn't know you were coming.
00:01:17House Alistair is yours.
00:01:19Show 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, and I'll cut it out myself.
00:01:28My lady, please.
00:01:48Mind the steps, my lady.
00:01:54The sky turns.
00:02:04To me.
00:02:06It's the sky.
00:02:07I'm a duke.
00:02:08I'm a duke you.
00:02:09I'm a duke.
00:02:09Well, you're a duke.
00:02:11I'm a duke.
00:02:12You're a duke.
00:02:13I'm a duke.
00:02:15To me.
00:02:20To me.
00:02:25I'm a duke.
00:02:30It is exactly where you left it, my lady. Untouched.
00:02:34You give it up so easily.
00:02:36It 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.
00:03:50Yes. Please, 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?
00:04:11Crawling 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 you.
00:05:16I told them to boil it.
00:05:19Dorish vintage.
00:05:21Pity it turned to vinegar.
00:05:23Masked with heavy spice.
00:05:26Poured from the rot at the bottom of your cellar.
00:05:30Is this how House Alistair hides its decay?
00:05:33How could she possibly smell that?
00:05:35She knows.
00:05:36How could she know?
00:05:38You insolent wretch.
00:05:40Keep your filthy mouth.
00:05:45By his wits alone did Lord Alistair survive.
00:05:49Isabella, 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 Princess.
00:06:02By royal decree,
00:06:02you will kneel and you will bleed for it.
00:06:05She is a fool.
00:06:07You are worse.
00:06:08Even the gods of the underworld have yet to see me kneel.
00:06:14Why would you?
00:06:16We shall see.
00:06:19Guards, 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!
00:06:51Stop this at once!
00:06:52Fools!
00:06:57Morgana, they 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, arrogant fools.
00:07:10She chose restraint.
00:07:11Or you would already be ashes upon this floor.
00:07:14On your knees.
00:07:16Beg for your lives.
00:07:19I bow to no one.
00:07:20I am the future Crown Princess.
00:07:23I will wear the crown.
00:07:26I 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.
00:07:49You will die before the wedding bells ring.
00:07:49You will die before the wedding bells ring.
00:07:50You will die before the wedding bells ring.
00:08:04You will die before the wedding bells ring.
00:08:06Get out of my house!
00:08:07Silence your tongue!
00:08:10Morgana, please.
00:08:11How do we stop this?
00:08:13Call off the royal wedding.
00:08:16Break betrothed.
00:08:17Break betrothed.
00:08:19Or...
00:08:20She dies.
00:08:30The royal escort led by the obsidian guard.
00:08:33Commander Cedric himself.
00:08:35The reaper of the realm.
00:08:43The prophecy is written.
00:08:49And the king's edict?
00:09:00Commander Cedric, you heard the prophecy.
00:09:02If Isabella rides to the palace today, it will be her funeral.
00:09:07The crown commands this union, Lord Alistair.
00:09:11My escort is already at your gates.
00:09:14You dare defy the throne over cheap politics?
00:09:18And break the royal contract?
00:09:20And break the royal contract?
00:09:21Unless...
00:09:23You doubt my ability to keep her breathing.
00:09:27No, commander.
00:09:28Your blade is legendary.
00:09:30Your tactics flawless.
00:09:31The king trusts no other.
00:09:33She is safe with you.
00:09:35But...
00:09:36Morgana has seen it.
00:09:38She is our only hope.
00:09:40Alistair.
00:09:41The king's patience is not infinite.
00:09:44Do not humiliate us for a blind witch.
00:09:46The crown's wrath will burn this castle to the ground.
00:09:49I will not let you ruin us.
00:09:52She is right, father.
00:09:53I am perfectly safe with the commander.
00:09:56Have the carriage ready.
00:09:58I will fetch my veil.
00:10:04Isabella!
00:10:05Let her go.
00:10:07The hour is set.
00:10:09My debt shall be claimed when the blood runs dry.
00:10:22I'm ready, father.
00:10:24The crown is mine.
00:10:26Our legacy begins.
00:10:30My daughter.
00:10:31Our ultimate masterpiece.
00:10:36Lock it down.
00:10:37Double guards.
00:10:37Kill anything that moves.
00:10:39Nothing.
00:10:40Touch that carriage.
00:10:41Are we clear?
00:10:42Crystal clear, captain.
00:10:43Consider it done.
00:10:44You're wasting men.
00:10:48The prophecy is spoken.
00:10:50The bride won't survive this journey.
00:10:52I am never wrong.
00:10:54Enlighten me then, Oracle.
00:10:56Give me a name.
00:10:57How exactly does she die?
00:10:59Give me real intel.
00:11:01Do that, I might believe you.
00:11:03Seeing the end requires a price.
00:11:05A transaction.
00:11:07I see the blood.
00:11:09The question is...
00:11:10Can you afford it?
00:11:13There it is.
00:11:14The classic shakedown.
00:11:15We always get here.
00:11:16Just a beggar.
00:11:17I could watch the Duke's daughter in her wedding dress.
00:11:20Perfectly protected by your elite guards.
00:11:23Ride straight to her execution.
00:11:25Let me ride with your convoy.
00:11:28Take me.
00:11:29I'll prove you wrong.
00:11:35Play the prophet.
00:11:37Watch her cross those gates alive.
00:11:41I'll feel the blood.
00:11:46Bring the oracle a horse.
00:11:47durch.
00:12:09I will not escape those gates.
00:12:11Let's don't fall if you are.
00:12:13We won't be crazy.
00:12:14The ultimate come.
00:12:15Let's win.
00:12:16To gel there.
00:12:17The second desire!
00:12:31Take them to the Iron Court.
00:12:34I want a name.
00:12:35Yes, Commander!
00:12:43Thank the gods Cedric was here.
00:12:46We're safe.
00:12:47He earned his coin.
00:12:51You 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!
00:13:12Isabella, 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.
00:13:45Look 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.
00:14:05How did you reach inside a moving, heavily guarded carriage and take her head without a single sound?
00:14:12You mapped out her execution beforehand.
00:14:15Fine.
00:14:17Say you didn't swing the blade yourself.
00:14:21But you orchestrated this.
00:14:24If that comforts you, you may use it.
00:14:31I 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.
00:15:18Steel cannot touch me.
00:15:23By 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?
00:15:36Commander!
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.
00:15:46Dead?
00:15:46You let our only witnesses die in chains?
00:15:49They 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.
00:16:08Name your price.
00:16:10There's always a price with you.
00:16:11Name 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.
00:16:27I 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.
00:16:45Take 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.
00:17:06Bring 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.
00:17:24Isabella!
00:17:24My baby!
00:17:25Oh, God!
00:17:27Hold her back.
00:17:28Don't let her touch the body.
00:17:29Let 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?
00:17:36Commander 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!
00:17:48No!
00:17:49Look what they did to you, my beautiful girl.
00:17:52The audience is here.
00:17:54Let the performance end.
00:18:08You demanded proof, Commander.
00:18:11Behold the truth.
00:18:14You wove the crimson soul thread yourself.
00:18:18The bond is forged.
00:18:21Ask her.
00:18:23Isabella Alistam is your killer here.
00:18:51Keep that thing away!
00:18:52She's bewitched!
00:18:54Ah!
00:18:59The crown is ours, father.
00:19:15Edmund Alistam.
00:19:22Now confess.
00:19:28Edmund Alistam.
00:19:30Do you confess?
00:19:32I confess to nothing!
00:19:34You sick witch!
00:19:36You killed her!
00:19:37You puppeted her corpse to frame us!
00:19:40He took you in.
00:19:42You repay us with blood!
00:19:44This is madness!
00:19:46A father doesn't slaughter his own blood!
00:19:50Isabella was my pride!
00:19:52Why would I destroy my own future?
00:19:55See the truth!
00:19:57His own blood.
00:19:58That's true.
00:20:00But what if that girl was never your blood at all?
00:20:05Eleanor.
00:20:05Why did the Emperor betroth Isabella to Prince Kael?
00:20:09It was destiny.
00:20:11The 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.
00:20:25I had to secure our bloodline.
00:20:32Give me the child I must see.
00:20:35Tell the truth.
00:20:36Is it a boy?
00:20:38A girl, my lady.
00:20:39A girl?
00:20:40No!
00:20:41You're lying!
00:20:42A daughter.
00:20:43Just as I said.
00:20:45Why me?
00:20:49The Consort is waiting.
00:20:51If it's a boy, I'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.
00:21:00Bring the bundle inside.
00:21:01Now.
00:21:05Look closely.
00:21:07Pure Alistair blood.
00:21:09A flawless son.
00:21:11Yours, 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.
00:21:44You're telling this court I'm Duke Alistair's son?
00:21:48No.
00:21:49No.
00:21:49No, no.
00:21:50I am the crown prince!
00:21:55It can't be.
00:21:57How could my husband do such a thing?
00:21:59This 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.
00:22:18Lord Alistair, if I had to guess, the moment the emperor degreed Isabella's marriage, you
00:22:24realized if she entered the royal court, the crown would eventually discover her secret.
00:22:27So you hired a pack of mercenaries to 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, so you
00:22:38killed your own daughter before she left.
00:22:39And as for your loyal servants, they break much faster than paid assassins.
00:22:43Commander!
00:22:44Commander Ashworth!
00:22:45Lord Alistair's personal guard, they've confessed to everything.
00:22:48The signed confessions.
00:22:49They admit the Duke ordered them to silence Isabella before she even left.
00:22:58My entire life of scheming, all crushed by fate's cruel hand, the eye you granted us gave
00:23:07House Alistair absolute power, unmatched wealth, unmatched glory, but the emperor still
00:23:15stood above me until that day when I saw, I saw.
00:23:27I saw the truth.
00:23:29If my son took the cradle, he'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.
00:23:40The royal wedding.
00:23:42If Isabella entered that palace, he would see my daughter.
00:23:48He'd see the exact face of the young empress.
00:23:51He's not blind.

00:31:07mean to defy me no
00:31:09no no the relic is rightfully yours I will return it to you immediately it is just the Hartman shroud
00:31:16is kept safe by my eldest Marin
00:31:18she's been in seclusion at a distant abbey for years once she returns from her retreat I will present it
00:31:24to you myself
00:31:24fine I will wait
00:31:31every time I return she still won't see me
00:31:3615 years 15 years since I've laid eyes on her does she really despise me that much
00:31:41why do you think she treats you with such coldness
00:31:46because of what I did
00:31:48she hates me
00:31:50when I was a boy I almost died my sister came for me and the iron drove through her right
00:31:56arm in my place she was never the same again
00:32:03she was a master healer those gifted hands she could bring the dying back to life but because of me
00:32:10the scar on her arm never faded and she was taken from me forever
00:32:14she became a completely different person after that the Hartman shard was hers by birthright
00:32:20with its power she became the greatest healer in the kingdom and then they sent her far away to a
00:32:25quiet abbey where she could practice in peace
00:32:28but I know the truth that day became a thorn in her heart one that will never be pulled out
00:32:35every time she looks at me she remembers what saving me cost her
00:32:39everything is bound by consequence commander you see only the branches above the soil but you are blind to the
00:32:46roots below

00:52:56every year he stole from marin
00:52:58they just ripped it back
00:53:19Maren, can you hear me? Look at me!
00:53:25You... you came back.
00:53:30You're breathing.
00:53:31I watched you stop. I thought you were gone.
00:53:34You're shaking. Your birthday is soon. I still owe you bread and broth.
00:53:40I'll make it myself. Just don't close your eyes again. Promise me that.
00:53:46Her face still carries what the years cost her, but the thirty years Aldric took from her have been stripped
00:53:52from his bones.
00:53:54They're hers now. Her hand is healed. The debt is paid.
00:53:58She will never serve in the dark again. She lives. The transaction is complete.
00:54:08Oracle. You didn't owe us this. I will carry this mercy until my last breath.
00:54:18You gave my sister back her life. My life is no longer my own. It belongs to you.
00:54:24Every breath I draw belongs to your cause. I am your shield. Your blade. Point me at your enemies. Wherever
00:54:31you walk, I walk with you. Until my blood runs cold.
00:54:43The heartman shard. The heartman shard. It's time it returned to you. You took another piece of your power straight
00:55:02into yourself. Will you absorb this one too?
00:55:06The heartman shard. The heartman shard. The heartman shard. The heartman shard. The heartman shard. The heartman shard. The heartman
00:55:20shard. The heartman shard. The heartman shard. The heartman shard. The heartman shard. The heartman shard. The heartman shard. The
00:55:23heartman shard. The heartman shard. The heartman shard. The heartman shard. The heartman shard. The heartman shard. The heartman shard.
00:55:23The heartman shard. The heartman shard. The heartman shard. The heartman shard. The heartman shard. The heartman shard. The heartman
00:55:25shard. The heartman shard. The heartman shard. The heartman shard. The heartman shard. The heartman shard. The heartman shard. The
00:55:28heartman shard. The heartman shard. The heartman shard. The heartman shard
00:55:37Please! 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's 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.
00:56:01You 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. If you follow me to Ironwall, if you walk
00:56:38into Ravencrest at my side, you will stand before someone and bleed until there is nothing left.
00:56:44And you will die. That is the end of it.
00:56:47In front of who? Who do I bleed for?
00:56:51Me. Knowing this. Knowing that every step north is a step towards your own grave.
00:56:58And you still want to come with me. Forget it. It doesn't matter.
00:57:04You 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.
00:57:37Every time, they said the odds were broken.
00:57:39And I am still standing here.
00:57:42Let them come. I will survive it.
00:57:44And I will walk you out of Ironwall myself.
00:57:57I am Cedric Ashworth, commander of the Obsidian Guards. Hold the gates.
00:58:02Guards.
00:58:02They're here. Fall back. Bar the gates.
00:58:09Go they.
00:58:28Ash to ash. Darkness gates. Gone.
00:58:52This malice. I know it.
00:58:55She broke them. Who goes there?
00:58:58Morgana.
00:58:59Lady Morgana!
00:59:02Forgive me. My grandfather speaks of you often.
00:59:06And you are?
00:59:07Finn Ravenkest, my lady.
00:59:09Grandson to Patriarch Thorn.
00:59:11Morgana.
00:59:13Smile for me.
00:59:14You look best when you smile.
00:59:16Foolish.
00:59:26You must think I'm completely useless with a blade.
00:59:29I've been sickly since childhood.
00:59:30My sister-in-law handles the killing.
00:59:32She lets me read instead.
00:59:34I apologize for the gate.
00:59:36It's just...
00:59:37Lately.
00:59:37The moment the sun sets, the dead walk.
00:59:40Vesta fears the undead soldiers breaching the walls, slaughtering our people.
00:59:44Please forgive the locked gates, my lady.
00:59:47These undead outside your walls.
00:59:49What is their origin?
00:59:50We don't know.
00:59:51Not since my grandfather fell.
00:59:53They don't discern friend from foe.
00:59:54They just butcher.
00:59:56For six months we've been trapped here.
00:59:58Powerless.
00:59:59Thorn was injured?
01:00:01Yes.
01:00:02Ambushed by the dead weeks ago.
01:00:03He hasn't woken since.
01:00:06Take me to him.
01:00:09Of course.
01:00:09Finn!
01:00:16You dare test me, boy?
01:00:19Who authorized you to breach the protocol?
01:00:21Who gave you leave to welcome stray vagras into my fortress?
01:00:26Do Frost Stokes' laws mean nothing to you?
01:00:28Vesper, wait.
01:00:29This is Lady Morgana.
01:00:31Grandfather foresaw this.
01:00:32He said a woman named Morgana would come for the Shard.
01:00:35We must show her absolute respect.
01:00:37The Patriarch is dying.
01:00:39He needs silence, not scavengers chasing fairy tales.
01:00:42Commander Vesper.
01:00:44Even the Emperor bows to Lady Morgana.
01:00:46I suggest you mind your tone.
01:00:49Before I cut out your tongue.
01:00:51Damn your Southern King!
01:00:53Here, we follow North laws.
01:00:56Your laws.
01:00:57Tell me.
01:00:59What does the North demand?
01:01:01You want to see him?
01:01:02Bleed for it.
01:01:03Vest me in combat.
01:01:06Win, and you get your audience.
01:01:08And your precious Shard.
01:01:10Lose, and you crawl back south.
01:01:13Frostbite does not serve the weak.
01:01:15I'll gladly test your iron, Commander.
01:01:17Good!
01:01:18A real man!
01:01:19Bring me my steel!
01:01:24Morgana.
01:01:25My sister-in-law is a monster on the battlefield.
01:01:28She holds the true bloodline.
01:01:30No one beats her.
01:01:31Is this it, then?
01:01:32The day you foreseen, I would die.
01:01:39The day you foreseen, I would die.
01:01:55He's hurt!
01:01:56He will not die.
01:02:00The plane will die!
01:02:03The plane will die!
01:02:18Well fought.
01:02:20Your form is decent, but you fight like you fear death, always leaving room to retreat.
01:02:27Remember, a real enemy won't give you quarter.
01:02:31The only way to outlive them is to care less about dying.
01:02:35Mother!
01:02:37Mother!
01:02:40There's my little bird.
01:02:42You promised me we'd practice archery today.
01:02:46I know.
01:02:47Go grab your bow.
01:02:48I'm coming.
01:02:48Okay.
01:02:52When you have something you can't leave behind, then teach me to fight.
01:02:57Tomorrow, I will grant you an audience with the Patriarch.
01:03:03You see, I am still breathing.
01:03:05If you had truly defied my vision.
01:03:09Now that would be interesting.
01:03:14My lady, the north is freezing.
01:03:17I brought you these heavy furs.
01:03:19Your concern is noted, boy.
01:03:21But she has no need for such common scraps.
01:03:24These are royal pelts from...
01:03:29Gods.
01:03:31What in the world is this?
01:03:33It's so soft.
01:03:34It doesn't even feel like wool.
01:03:36It feels like water.
01:03:38These deep red shapes here.
01:03:40What kind of flower is this?
01:03:42A rose.
01:03:43The sovereign of flowers.
01:03:45A rose.
01:03:46It's beautiful.
01:03:47I can't even imagine it.
01:03:49So this is what the south grows.
01:03:52Here in Frostspike, the winter never ends.
01:03:55The ground is iron.
01:03:56Nothing this fragile could ever survive the frost.
01:04:00If it pleases you, boy,
01:04:01help us reclaim the sherd from your keep.
01:04:04And this mantle is yours to keep.
01:04:07Truly?
01:04:08You swear on your honor?
01:04:10On my blood.
01:04:12Done.
01:04:13I'll get ready.
01:04:17You barter with the boy
01:04:19because you are certain
01:04:20that Vesta will not surrender the shard.
01:04:26Two years ago at the Bloodwater Siege,
01:04:28Vesta's husband begged the Emperor for reinforcements.
01:04:32But the royal court was busy preparing the Emperor's Jubilee.
01:04:35The army never marched.
01:04:36Her husband died in the mud,
01:04:37left her and the child alone.
01:04:40Vesta has every reason to hate the crown.
01:04:43She struck a deal with the enemy.
01:04:46You are wrong.
01:04:49You said we were seeing the Patriarch.
01:04:51Why bring us to a crypt?
01:04:52Whatever you see in there,
01:04:53hold your nerve.
01:04:55My grandfather rests inside.
01:04:57Please, this way.
01:05:14What?
01:05:19Is this?
01:05:20It is Thorn.
01:05:22Yes. Since the ambush six months ago, this crust began to form.
01:05:27It started around his wounds, then it spread, swallowing him whole.
01:05:32How many healers have you called?
01:05:34All of them. None could break it.
01:05:52This isn't a sickness, is it? It is his own madness.
01:05:56His madness?
01:05:57Thorn's natural life ended in the snow six months ago.
01:06:05But his fury anchored him here.
01:06:08He refuses to pass on.
01:06:10And the shard buried within him gave his wrath a physical form, spawning the dead that batter your gates.
01:06:17While this stone shell devours his remaining soul.
01:06:22The undead?
01:06:24They came from my grandfather's own mind?
01:06:28What kind of nightmare could be powerful enough to breed an entire army of corpses?
01:06:37What is happening?
01:06:42The dead are marching in daylight.
01:06:47I'll hold the line. Gather the men.
01:06:50My lady, I'm begging you. Save Frostbike. Take the shard back. It's right there in his chest.
01:06:56Please, just take it. I beg you.
01:07:00Yes. But the shard must be freely given.
01:07:04Even I cannot carve it out by force.
01:07:06I will pull Thorn back from the dark.
01:07:09Do not let them interrupt me.
01:07:11This pennant will hold the dead. Plant it beyond the gates. It will buy me time.
01:07:16If the ward fails.
01:07:18If the dead breach the line.
01:07:21Or if you are overrun.
01:07:23Do not die for me.
01:07:25Leave.
01:07:25My orders stand.
01:07:28You are my charge.
01:07:30I do not break the line.
01:07:46I remember a boy.
01:07:49One who chased my shadow.
01:07:51Always begging for stories.
01:07:54Now.
01:07:55Reduced to stone.
01:08:00Veil left.
01:08:02Fleshbind.
01:08:04Awaken.
01:08:07Thorn.
01:08:10Ashworth!
01:08:11Her magic broke!
01:08:12She's bleeding!
01:08:24Shit!
01:08:26Shit!
01:08:37Finn, what are you doing?
01:08:39I'm done pretending, Commander.
01:08:42Did you honestly think Vesper was the one who crippled my grandfather?
01:08:45It was me who left the gate wide open.
01:08:48So, you're the rat.
01:08:50They butchered your parents.
01:08:52Slaughtered your own brothers.
01:08:53They bled Frostbear dry.
01:08:55And you sold us out to the monsters?
01:08:59Sold us out?
01:09:00Monsters?
01:09:01Better than being the crown's lapdog.
01:09:03Why should we bleed for them?
01:09:04Our ancestors all followed Morgana.
01:09:06We were equals once, but because they got different shards, some get to rule the capital, some get the gold.
01:09:12And what did the rain creeps get?
01:09:13Three generations rotting in this frozen wasteland.
01:09:16Bleeding out in the ice.
01:09:17Just another name on a tombstone.
01:09:20Waiting to be wiped out.
01:09:22I won't let it end like this.
01:09:24I'm going to tear Frostfire down.
01:09:27Break the chains they put on us.
01:09:29I saw Morgana use this.
01:09:31It commands the dead.
01:09:34I hold the power now.
01:09:41Isn't that right?
01:09:43True!
01:10:20I won't let it end like this.
01:10:43Fallen.
01:10:46Break.
01:10:48Break.
01:10:50I won't let it end.
01:10:52I won't let it end.
01:11:00Sis, you came.
01:11:04Sister, I...
01:11:05What is happening to me?
01:11:07Where are we?
01:11:08Your mortal life is ended.
01:11:11But 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.
01:11:46You are nothing but a lingering phantom.
01:11:53To 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.
01:12:09Your bloodline.
01:12:11Your men.
01:12:14You have bled enough.
01:12:16You have bled enough.
01:12:19You have bled enough.
01:12:31You have bled enough.
01:12:32You have bled enough.
01:12:32You have bled enough.
01:12:32You have bled enough.
01:12:34You have bled enough.
01:12:36You have bled enough.
01:12:47Let the obsession die, you must go.
01:12:54Whatever my sister commands, Thorn will always obey, but before I return the shard, Morgana,
01:13:07may I ask you one question?
01:13:12What did you want to ask?
01:13:17All these years, alone in the dark, were you alright, Morgana?
01:13:39You won't touch her!
01:13:43I was fine.
01:13:49That is good.
01:13:54No!
01:14:05No!
01:14:08No!
01:14:12No!
01:14:13No!
01:14:18No!
01:14:21No!
01:14:23No!
01:14:24No!
01:14:28No!
01:14:33No!
01:14:35No!
01:14:38No!
01:14:39No!

01:20:42if not
01:20:43no
01:20:43no
01:20:46My lady, forgive me.
01:20:49Assassins!
01:21:05This southern blood magic.
01:21:08They say one puppet butchers ten men, and I tore them apart before they could even blink.
01:21:13I feel like I could rip through solid iron.
01:21:15You were bleeding to death.
01:21:17No medicine could save you.
01:21:19So I bound a fraction of my shard to your fading heart.
01:21:22Tethered your life to mine.
01:21:24With my power in your veins, no mortal man can stand against you.
01:21:28You could have run.
01:21:30You chose to stay.
01:21:33You accepted my gift.
01:21:35From now on, you are bound to my will.
01:21:38Are we clear?
01:21:42So I am no better than these husks?
01:21:44I'm just your puppet?
01:21:46Do not compare yourself to such pathetic trash.
01:21:50They are nothing like you.
01:21:54You.
01:21:56You are my masterpiece.
01:22:10That shard of the crown was torn from my own veins.
01:22:16A single drop of my heart's blood.
01:22:21I never thought you would waste such a priceless piece of yourself on me.
01:22:25I never thought I'd even be alive.
01:22:28My lady, you always said your prophecies are absolute, never wrong.
01:22:32To give me the shard.
01:22:33To force me to live.
01:22:34Isn't this defying the gods themselves?
01:22:37Taking the heart back was a mistake.
01:22:45Morgana.
01:22:48Farewell.
01:22:50Be wary.
01:22:51Without the primordial crown's shard, the horde will show no mercy.
01:22:56I know the risks.
01:22:58But I command this gate.
01:23:00Shard or no shard.
01:23:01The ravencrests will hold this line.
01:23:04To the last breath.
01:23:08The horde is at our walls.
01:23:11I ride with the vanguard.
01:23:12Godspeed.
01:23:17Hi-ya!
01:23:26Why didn't you tell her about the warding spikes you planted?
01:23:30The wards are nothing compared to the primordial blood still boiling in their veins.
01:23:35They will survive.
01:23:39What's happening?
01:23:41Are you alright?
01:23:42I feel a disturbance.
01:23:43A forbading sensation.
01:23:45I have looked ahead.
01:23:47I wish I had not.
01:23:48The road before us is dark, Cedric.
01:24:06We must push forward.
01:24:08Wherever you go, I will follow.
01:24:11Where to next?
01:24:13South.
01:24:14To the Scarlet Lands.
01:24:16I want to meet the fool who thought they could kill me.
01:24:18You
