1
00:00:13,043 --> 00:00:16,501
As Fjall, Éile, and Scían headed south,
2
00:00:16,584 --> 00:00:19,959
another sought vengeance
against the might of the Golden Empire.
3
00:00:33,251 --> 00:00:36,751
We don't sell godhead to your kind.
Fuck off.
4
00:00:37,334 --> 00:00:38,626
I'm not here to smoke.
5
00:00:39,293 --> 00:00:41,834
Well, we haven't ordered any Dwarven quim.
6
00:00:42,584 --> 00:00:44,959
Did any of you lot order a Dwarven whore?
7
00:00:45,043 --> 00:00:46,209
I'm not a whore.
8
00:00:46,709 --> 00:00:49,876
But the elf I'm looking for
does have a thing for Dwarven girls.
9
00:00:49,959 --> 00:00:51,584
Talyysen of the One Eye.
10
00:00:51,668 --> 00:00:53,626
A Golden Empire sergeant.
11
00:00:53,709 --> 00:00:54,918
Never heard of him.
12
00:00:57,293 --> 00:00:58,168
You sure?
13
00:00:59,251 --> 00:01:01,126
Only, he was seen here a few nights ago.
14
00:01:01,209 --> 00:01:02,126
Look,
15
00:01:03,168 --> 00:01:07,459
this place is full of elves
who hate you lot just as much as I do,
16
00:01:07,543 --> 00:01:10,459
all high as kites and quick to battle.
17
00:01:10,543 --> 00:01:12,834
So do yourself a favor…
18
00:01:12,918 --> 00:01:15,626
…and fuck the fucking fuck off!
19
00:01:22,126 --> 00:01:23,209
You sure?
20
00:01:24,543 --> 00:01:25,918
Maybe he's not in there.
21
00:01:29,501 --> 00:01:31,043
Fair enough, Gwen.
22
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:32,834
Good point.
23
00:01:35,501 --> 00:01:37,501
We'll have
a wee gander for ourselves.
24
00:01:54,834 --> 00:01:56,959
You little shit. How'd you get in?
25
00:01:57,043 --> 00:01:58,751
-Oh fuck.
26
00:01:59,876 --> 00:02:01,959
-Who the fuck let you--
27
00:02:03,709 --> 00:02:05,668
How are we this fine eve?
28
00:02:05,751 --> 00:02:07,043
Name's Meldof.
29
00:02:07,126 --> 00:02:11,543
I'm looking for Talyysen of the One Eye.
Big shit stain of an elf.
30
00:02:11,626 --> 00:02:13,043
-Bitch, leave.
31
00:02:17,084 --> 00:02:19,251
-Fuck!
32
00:02:19,334 --> 00:02:20,334
Whew!
33
00:02:44,168 --> 00:02:45,376
Don't worry, love.
34
00:02:46,959 --> 00:02:48,168
We'll find him.
35
00:03:20,043 --> 00:03:21,751
Aah.
36
00:03:24,418 --> 00:03:26,959
I can hear you grinding your teeth.
37
00:03:27,459 --> 00:03:31,209
Please don't make me drown you.
It would upset the other patrons no end.
38
00:03:34,334 --> 00:03:35,668
What's on your mind?
39
00:03:36,459 --> 00:03:38,209
The… situation
40
00:03:39,418 --> 00:03:41,293
in the north and south is festering.
41
00:03:42,001 --> 00:03:43,626
Most of the cities are ours,
42
00:03:43,709 --> 00:03:46,501
but there are still some holdouts
refusing the Golden Empire.
43
00:03:46,584 --> 00:03:48,043
Supply lines are disrupted.
44
00:03:48,126 --> 00:03:51,459
The merchants are taking advantage,
raising the price of grain.
45
00:03:52,751 --> 00:03:56,043
Then hang them on the city walls
as a lesson to others.
46
00:03:56,126 --> 00:03:58,168
They still control
the supply lines to the east.
47
00:03:58,251 --> 00:04:00,918
Hang them and we lose access
to the Dwarven steel we need
48
00:04:01,001 --> 00:04:02,751
for our campaigns to the new world.
49
00:04:03,626 --> 00:04:05,251
What would you suggest we do?
50
00:04:05,334 --> 00:04:06,834
Invite them over for tea?
51
00:04:07,626 --> 00:04:09,001
Bake them a honey cake?
52
00:04:09,084 --> 00:04:11,168
Arrest the guild leadership.
53
00:04:11,251 --> 00:04:13,959
Allow the rest of them
to continue trading under our terms.
54
00:04:14,043 --> 00:04:16,668
Starving citizens are
a recipe for rebellion.
55
00:04:16,751 --> 00:04:18,084
Try it.
56
00:04:18,168 --> 00:04:20,626
If it doesn't work,
there's always the honey cake.
57
00:04:21,584 --> 00:04:23,126
-Or the hanging.
58
00:04:23,751 --> 00:04:24,709
What else?
59
00:04:25,293 --> 00:04:27,709
Fjall and the Lark were spotted in Gaylth.
60
00:04:29,168 --> 00:04:31,084
I've stationed troops south of there.
61
00:04:32,293 --> 00:04:33,293
Won't be long.
62
00:04:34,209 --> 00:04:36,126
I've heard this bleating before.
63
00:04:37,293 --> 00:04:38,793
Are you incompetent?
64
00:04:38,876 --> 00:04:41,626
They're alone. They won't last long.
65
00:04:41,709 --> 00:04:42,834
And if they do?
66
00:04:42,918 --> 00:04:47,209
Two warriors who overcame
all obstacles stacked against them,
67
00:04:47,293 --> 00:04:49,543
bound together by destiny,
et cetera, et cetera.
68
00:04:49,626 --> 00:04:51,293
There's enough of a seed there
69
00:04:51,376 --> 00:04:55,001
to grow a powerful story
that the peasants can latch onto.
70
00:04:55,084 --> 00:04:56,584
A story beyond our control.
71
00:04:56,668 --> 00:04:59,918
Stories can be put down with steel.
72
00:05:00,001 --> 00:05:03,001
History is littered with fools
who believed the very same.
73
00:05:03,084 --> 00:05:05,501
Control the story, control the world.
74
00:05:06,251 --> 00:05:08,834
Put them to clay.
75
00:05:19,084 --> 00:05:20,001
That's Byrelle.
76
00:05:20,084 --> 00:05:22,334
They haven't been defeated
in a thousand years.
77
00:05:22,418 --> 00:05:23,418
Fuck me.
78
00:05:24,501 --> 00:05:26,084
Three armies united.
79
00:05:26,168 --> 00:05:27,834
They didn't stand a chance.
80
00:05:27,918 --> 00:05:29,209
It's a massacre.
81
00:05:30,959 --> 00:05:34,084
If we're to have any chance
in Xin'trea, we're gonna need more bodies.
82
00:05:34,751 --> 00:05:35,876
Sellswords.
83
00:05:37,668 --> 00:05:39,793
Doable. For the right coin.
84
00:05:40,959 --> 00:05:44,168
Daédwóde's south of here.
There's a small bank we can hit.
85
00:05:44,251 --> 00:05:46,334
We'll need to stay off the roads.
86
00:05:47,918 --> 00:05:49,543
The three marched on,
87
00:05:49,626 --> 00:05:53,709
each knowing that this raid could put
their quest for vengeance in peril.
88
00:05:54,376 --> 00:05:56,501
But without coin for sellswords,
89
00:05:56,584 --> 00:05:59,793
they were no more than specks of dust
against an empire.
90
00:06:10,168 --> 00:06:11,168
Where is everyone?
91
00:06:11,251 --> 00:06:13,209
Probably took to the forests
after the coup.
92
00:06:13,793 --> 00:06:16,918
We approach from the tree lines.
Avoid the main street.
93
00:06:18,543 --> 00:06:19,793
Agreed.
94
00:06:19,876 --> 00:06:21,876
This is risky.
95
00:06:22,834 --> 00:06:26,584
-No sellswords, no vengeance.
-You sure you can find them?
96
00:06:26,668 --> 00:06:29,251
One thing this land isn't short of
is sellswords.
97
00:06:29,334 --> 00:06:33,043
And thanks to you, Sword Daughter,
I've worked with nearly all of them.
98
00:06:33,543 --> 00:06:34,834
Let's get this done.
99
00:06:44,876 --> 00:06:46,126
Knock, knock!
100
00:06:58,126 --> 00:07:00,334
-Where's the money?
101
00:07:03,584 --> 00:07:06,293
You know what they say
about elves that carry big axes?
102
00:07:12,376 --> 00:07:16,709
Merchants and lowborn alike came
and took everythin' out after the coup.
103
00:07:17,376 --> 00:07:21,501
Only thing of any value in this place
seems to be you lot.
104
00:07:31,626 --> 00:07:33,001
Doesn't even look like me.
105
00:07:33,084 --> 00:07:34,293
WANTED DEAD
REWARD 1,000 OIRS
106
00:07:34,376 --> 00:07:35,709
What's throwing you off?
107
00:07:36,209 --> 00:07:37,293
The eyes.
108
00:07:39,584 --> 00:07:42,709
Enemies of the Golden Empire!
Toss out your weapons!
109
00:07:43,584 --> 00:07:44,959
We've been spotted.
110
00:07:45,751 --> 00:07:47,084
Where's the back door?
111
00:07:47,918 --> 00:07:50,918
It's a bank. One way in, one way out.
112
00:07:51,501 --> 00:07:52,793
Those are not conscripts.
113
00:07:53,293 --> 00:07:56,376
-Battle-hardened. Elite.
-Lovely.
114
00:07:57,584 --> 00:07:59,168
Die slowly, assholes!
115
00:08:00,293 --> 00:08:01,584
-Fuck.
116
00:08:02,293 --> 00:08:03,918
Form up on my flanks, now!
117
00:08:04,584 --> 00:08:06,459
Last chance to surrender!
118
00:08:11,251 --> 00:08:12,334
Choke them here.
119
00:08:13,043 --> 00:08:16,168
Fight as a clan,
and we may just make it out.
120
00:08:49,709 --> 00:08:52,209
Murdering bastards!
121
00:08:53,459 --> 00:08:54,543
Get back in formation!
122
00:09:34,043 --> 00:09:35,084
Not good.
123
00:09:48,793 --> 00:09:49,626
Fuck!
124
00:09:50,793 --> 00:09:52,459
We are not dying here!
125
00:09:56,209 --> 00:09:57,584
It's Dwarven steel.
126
00:09:57,668 --> 00:09:58,668
So is this.
127
00:10:20,126 --> 00:10:24,668
Alone and powerless,
Merwyn's mind churned,
128
00:10:25,251 --> 00:10:28,084
desperate to find a way
to free herself of Balor's grip.
129
00:10:28,168 --> 00:10:29,043
-Empress.
-Empress.
130
00:10:29,126 --> 00:10:32,501
She knew he'd kill her
as soon as he was done with her.
131
00:10:39,209 --> 00:10:40,543
Your Highness.
132
00:10:44,751 --> 00:10:46,168
The lowborn are starving…
133
00:10:48,501 --> 00:10:50,001
while your empire grows fat.
134
00:11:20,959 --> 00:11:23,168
Tastes horrible. Feels wonderful.
135
00:11:23,251 --> 00:11:25,501
Or at least, it… will.
136
00:11:25,584 --> 00:11:27,209
This should never have happened.
137
00:11:28,751 --> 00:11:30,793
-Who was he?
-A kitchen hand.
138
00:11:32,084 --> 00:11:33,126
Did he say anything?
139
00:11:33,209 --> 00:11:36,209
Uh, something about starving.
140
00:11:37,209 --> 00:11:39,459
Famine's hitting the lowborn
harder each day.
141
00:11:39,543 --> 00:11:40,584
Famine?
142
00:11:42,084 --> 00:11:45,459
I'm going to assign one of my most trusted
lieutenants as bodyguard.
143
00:11:47,043 --> 00:11:47,876
No.
144
00:11:48,459 --> 00:11:50,626
No, this one shall be my protector.
145
00:11:51,168 --> 00:11:52,709
He's already proven himself.
146
00:11:53,793 --> 00:11:54,751
What is your name?
147
00:11:55,626 --> 00:11:57,876
Crevan Espane aep Caomhan Macha.
148
00:11:58,543 --> 00:12:00,918
But most people call me Avallac'h.
149
00:12:01,001 --> 00:12:02,168
One wonders why.
150
00:12:02,251 --> 00:12:04,084
When did this famine start?
151
00:12:04,168 --> 00:12:08,293
I have no idea
about the world outside of these walls.
152
00:12:08,376 --> 00:12:10,043
I need to see for myself.
153
00:12:10,126 --> 00:12:13,251
Perhaps you should stay
confined to your quarters for a while.
154
00:12:14,376 --> 00:12:16,084
Let us handle things.
155
00:12:16,168 --> 00:12:18,918
For your own safety, Empress.
156
00:12:24,543 --> 00:12:28,168
As Éile, Fjall,
and Scían continued south toward Xin'trea
157
00:12:28,251 --> 00:12:30,876
to hunt down everyone
behind the bloody coup,
158
00:12:31,376 --> 00:12:33,543
the three hunters had, themselves,
159
00:12:34,668 --> 00:12:36,043
become the hunted.
160
00:12:49,418 --> 00:12:52,293
We need to find some herbs
before that wound turns sour.
161
00:12:52,793 --> 00:12:54,001
I can keep going.
162
00:12:54,876 --> 00:12:55,876
No, you can't.
163
00:12:56,584 --> 00:12:58,126
You're hurt because of me.
164
00:13:01,751 --> 00:13:03,501
-You need to rest.
165
00:13:10,293 --> 00:13:12,668
I'll go find some herbs
for a poultice.
166
00:13:15,834 --> 00:13:17,209
More chance with two.
167
00:13:18,001 --> 00:13:20,168
Go. I'll be fine.
168
00:13:20,918 --> 00:13:22,126
I'm not leaving you.
169
00:13:23,834 --> 00:13:24,751
Go.
170
00:13:25,459 --> 00:13:26,626
It's okay.
171
00:13:29,709 --> 00:13:31,126
I'll find some knitbone.
172
00:13:55,084 --> 00:13:57,709
You, uh… wanted to see me?
173
00:14:01,834 --> 00:14:03,209
You appreciate books?
174
00:14:04,876 --> 00:14:08,251
I spy a first edition
of Solryth's Conquest of the Dwarves.
175
00:14:09,751 --> 00:14:10,959
I knew I chose well.
176
00:14:14,459 --> 00:14:17,668
I have no knowledge of protection.
I'm-- I'm just an apprentice.
177
00:14:18,459 --> 00:14:19,459
You saved me.
178
00:14:20,584 --> 00:14:21,751
No. Uh…
179
00:14:22,459 --> 00:14:24,501
I did it without thinking.
180
00:14:24,584 --> 00:14:27,418
Exactly. Which means I can trust you.
181
00:14:28,709 --> 00:14:29,918
You're perfect.
182
00:14:30,001 --> 00:14:31,209
For what, exactly?
183
00:14:31,793 --> 00:14:34,459
To be my eyes and ears
with Balor and Eredin.
184
00:14:36,668 --> 00:14:38,876
I'm no spy. Truly, I'm just--
185
00:14:38,959 --> 00:14:41,043
As soon as the empire settles,
186
00:14:41,126 --> 00:14:44,709
I have no doubt
Balor and Eredin will have me killed.
187
00:14:45,501 --> 00:14:47,584
Probably some sad accident.
188
00:14:47,668 --> 00:14:50,459
And since they know
I've chosen you as my protector,
189
00:14:50,543 --> 00:14:52,334
they will most likely kill you too.
190
00:14:52,418 --> 00:14:53,293
Huh.
191
00:14:54,918 --> 00:14:59,751
I'm sure you'd prefer that didn't happen.
So now you are a spy.
192
00:14:59,834 --> 00:15:01,001
But…
193
00:15:01,668 --> 00:15:03,501
Balor has his eye on everything.
194
00:15:03,584 --> 00:15:06,001
-What if he discovers--
-I need you to steal a book from him.
195
00:15:06,084 --> 00:15:09,126
-What?
-Syndril's work. The Book of Monoliths.
196
00:15:09,876 --> 00:15:12,918
I need you to learn
how to open gateways to new worlds.
197
00:15:13,001 --> 00:15:14,043
This is insane.
198
00:15:15,043 --> 00:15:17,459
-I'm going to die.
-I need to control them.
199
00:15:17,543 --> 00:15:19,376
Do it. Give me your cloak.
200
00:15:21,126 --> 00:15:22,876
Why, exactly?
201
00:15:26,543 --> 00:15:28,584
I saw that lowborn's eyes.
202
00:15:29,209 --> 00:15:30,334
Where are you going?
203
00:15:31,209 --> 00:15:34,334
I need to know what's happening
outside these palace walls.
204
00:15:41,918 --> 00:15:42,834
Yeah.
205
00:15:43,918 --> 00:15:45,918
Yeah, I'm-- I'm definitely going to die.
206
00:15:48,709 --> 00:15:50,751
-Mind yourself! Wait!
-Give it back!
207
00:15:50,834 --> 00:15:52,293
-I got it!
-Get out!
208
00:15:52,376 --> 00:15:54,584
-Go on, then, show us--
-Get out the way!
209
00:15:54,668 --> 00:15:56,293
-Out of the way!
-Quickly!
210
00:15:56,376 --> 00:15:58,376
-You blind?
-Eyes open!
211
00:15:59,918 --> 00:16:01,709
-Send the militia!
212
00:16:01,793 --> 00:16:04,793
-They stole my trinkets!
-Bring that back, now!
213
00:16:06,918 --> 00:16:09,459
-Help, will you?
-Murder!
214
00:16:09,543 --> 00:16:11,834
-Oh, thank you. I'm so hungry.
-Get off!
215
00:16:11,918 --> 00:16:13,209
Leave it!
216
00:16:13,918 --> 00:16:16,043
-Get out the way!
-Mind out!
217
00:16:19,668 --> 00:16:22,126
Let me have some, I beg you!
218
00:16:24,959 --> 00:16:26,793
No, no, no,
don't you come back begging.
219
00:16:26,876 --> 00:16:29,668
-I'll call the soldiers on you.
-Please! I'm starving!
220
00:16:29,751 --> 00:16:31,543
No coin, no bread.
221
00:17:24,001 --> 00:17:27,334
You fucked me. You were the only one
I told of the arrests.
222
00:17:27,418 --> 00:17:31,709
Somehow your fellow merchants knew to flee
the cities with their grain stores.
223
00:18:00,043 --> 00:18:01,043
I'm sorry.
224
00:18:03,418 --> 00:18:06,251
There was Galentrian wine
at the guild meeting, and I just…
225
00:18:07,501 --> 00:18:08,834
must have let it slip.
226
00:18:10,084 --> 00:18:12,126
You're going to get yourself killed.
227
00:18:15,668 --> 00:18:16,751
I'll be fine.
228
00:18:19,334 --> 00:18:21,543
You might be fine
being a flippant little shit,
229
00:18:21,626 --> 00:18:24,626
but I'd like to keep my head
attached to my fucking shoulders.
230
00:18:24,709 --> 00:18:26,709
Balor is tightening the noose day by day.
231
00:18:26,793 --> 00:18:28,293
Nothing will come back to you.
232
00:18:29,209 --> 00:18:30,626
No one knows about us.
233
00:18:33,001 --> 00:18:37,918
And, as you are so fond of reminding me,
they'd never believe it anyway.
234
00:18:39,168 --> 00:18:42,334
Elf like you, military class,
slumming it with a petty merchant.
235
00:18:42,418 --> 00:18:44,084
I didn't mean it like that.
236
00:18:44,584 --> 00:18:46,251
-The other night--
-It's fine.
237
00:18:48,709 --> 00:18:51,376
We were both very, very… drunk.
238
00:19:02,418 --> 00:19:03,584
Is it really that bad?
239
00:19:05,543 --> 00:19:08,043
Balor's just a lowborn
with a chip on his shoulder.
240
00:19:14,876 --> 00:19:17,751
We were going to commandeer that grain
to feed our troops.
241
00:19:18,251 --> 00:19:20,084
What about the palace grain stores?
242
00:19:22,084 --> 00:19:23,084
Nearly empty.
243
00:19:26,709 --> 00:19:27,668
I didn't know.
244
00:19:29,418 --> 00:19:30,626
And you still don't,
245
00:19:31,251 --> 00:19:33,543
-Galentrian wine or not.
246
00:19:36,501 --> 00:19:40,376
And while Eredin
struggled to keep his beloved secret safe,
247
00:19:40,918 --> 00:19:43,543
high above those lowborn streets,
248
00:19:43,626 --> 00:19:46,459
Balor nurtured his own deadly secret.
249
00:19:50,793 --> 00:19:54,418
I'm worried about you. You need
to be careful. What if Eredin finds out?
250
00:19:54,501 --> 00:19:57,751
He knows nothing
of the power of the arid world. Of her.
251
00:19:58,251 --> 00:19:59,793
She gave me a beast.
252
00:20:00,376 --> 00:20:04,418
She can give me so much more,
as soon as I give her what she wants.
253
00:20:04,501 --> 00:20:07,001
By the time they all realize,
it'll be too late.
254
00:20:09,418 --> 00:20:10,793
I'll have transformed.
255
00:20:23,709 --> 00:20:26,126
-Your friend is not in a good way.
256
00:20:29,543 --> 00:20:30,876
Who the fuck are you?
257
00:20:38,501 --> 00:20:42,418
Let's just say I'm one for a good story.
258
00:20:46,834 --> 00:20:48,251
I think that you
259
00:20:49,376 --> 00:20:50,709
might be the start of one.
260
00:20:54,209 --> 00:20:55,668
Generous bounties.
261
00:20:57,501 --> 00:20:59,126
What'd you do to earn them?
262
00:21:02,168 --> 00:21:06,418
We're gonna kill the empress.
And anyone else who took part in her coup.
263
00:21:08,334 --> 00:21:10,168
And anyone standing in our way.
264
00:21:14,626 --> 00:21:18,251
Well, you two must be madder than a bag of
cats if you think you can pull that off.
265
00:21:18,918 --> 00:21:21,501
Reckon you'll be killing
a lot of empire soldiers, then.
266
00:21:22,001 --> 00:21:23,084
That a problem?
267
00:21:23,168 --> 00:21:25,001
No, not by me, square jaw.
268
00:21:26,834 --> 00:21:29,626
Vicious pricks wiped out
a village that had taken me in.
269
00:21:31,501 --> 00:21:32,543
Good people.
270
00:21:33,876 --> 00:21:35,584
I thought that I was done with killing.
271
00:21:37,043 --> 00:21:39,001
Seems that killing isn't done with me.
272
00:21:45,543 --> 00:21:49,251
So… I reckon I'll be joining
your little story.
273
00:21:51,376 --> 00:21:52,501
If you'd have me.
274
00:21:55,709 --> 00:21:57,293
How good are you with those cleavers?
275
00:21:58,459 --> 00:21:59,418
Too good.
276
00:22:01,793 --> 00:22:02,959
The name's Callan.
277
00:22:05,251 --> 00:22:07,293
But most folks call me Brother Death.
278
00:22:07,793 --> 00:22:09,043
I have a brother.
279
00:22:10,584 --> 00:22:11,584
He's dead.
280
00:22:18,751 --> 00:22:19,751
Smell the wound.
281
00:22:20,459 --> 00:22:22,043
Ugh!
282
00:22:22,126 --> 00:22:24,209
The blade that caught her
must have been poisoned.
283
00:22:24,293 --> 00:22:26,668
It's corpse oil.
284
00:22:27,501 --> 00:22:28,668
She'll be dead by dawn.
285
00:22:31,501 --> 00:22:36,168
You'll be much faster to Xin'trea…
without me.
286
00:22:36,793 --> 00:22:38,376
-Leave me here.
-No.
287
00:22:38,459 --> 00:22:40,043
-Under the stars.
-Mm-mm.
288
00:22:42,001 --> 00:22:45,043
My tribe will take me.
289
00:22:47,418 --> 00:22:48,459
I can
290
00:22:49,793 --> 00:22:51,126
take you to a healer.
291
00:22:52,293 --> 00:22:53,376
A mage?
292
00:22:53,959 --> 00:22:55,001
Of sort.
293
00:22:56,543 --> 00:22:57,501
She's different.
294
00:22:58,501 --> 00:22:59,626
Powerful.
295
00:23:00,584 --> 00:23:02,293
I don't know that she'll help.
296
00:23:02,376 --> 00:23:05,793
And she'll just as likely kill you
if she don't like the look of you.
297
00:23:08,668 --> 00:23:10,959
But I can see that you care about her.
298
00:23:11,043 --> 00:23:14,418
The whole Continent is looking for us.
Éile, we don't know him.
299
00:23:20,084 --> 00:23:21,543
Take us to your healer.
300
00:23:22,209 --> 00:23:26,084
And so three became four.
301
00:23:28,376 --> 00:23:30,168
This is her
Marsh of the Mists.
302
00:23:33,543 --> 00:23:35,001
No matter what you see,
303
00:23:36,793 --> 00:23:38,543
try and make it to the other side.
304
00:24:18,959 --> 00:24:20,834
Get back in the fight, brother!
305
00:24:22,001 --> 00:24:23,334
Kareg!
306
00:24:24,626 --> 00:24:25,501
No!
307
00:24:33,876 --> 00:24:37,668
Brother, do you remember
the first boar you ever killed?
308
00:24:37,751 --> 00:24:38,876
I've forgotten.
309
00:24:47,793 --> 00:24:49,001
I've forgotten a lot of things.
310
00:25:26,126 --> 00:25:27,084
Mother?
311
00:25:27,626 --> 00:25:29,626
They wronged your king, Éile.
312
00:25:29,709 --> 00:25:31,501
-No! Please don't do it!
-I…
313
00:25:31,584 --> 00:25:34,626
-Earn your clan tattoos.
-No! No!
314
00:25:35,543 --> 00:25:37,459
Let us out! Please!
315
00:25:49,084 --> 00:25:51,751
No, please, no!
316
00:25:52,459 --> 00:25:53,334
No!
317
00:26:20,751 --> 00:26:22,459
-To the Lark!
318
00:26:22,543 --> 00:26:25,001
-The Lark! The Lark!
319
00:26:25,084 --> 00:26:25,918
The Lark!
320
00:26:28,876 --> 00:26:30,626
-I got you!
321
00:26:34,251 --> 00:26:36,626
-It's okay.
322
00:27:03,209 --> 00:27:04,334
Hello, Callan.
323
00:27:04,834 --> 00:27:06,043
Hello, my love.
324
00:27:11,251 --> 00:27:12,251
You had no right.
325
00:27:12,334 --> 00:27:13,751
It's not me you're angry at.
326
00:27:14,251 --> 00:27:15,584
Thanks for warnin' us.
327
00:27:17,959 --> 00:27:19,834
I'm here. It's okay.
328
00:27:20,376 --> 00:27:24,001
If you'd known, your memories would have
been tainted as you tried to protect them.
329
00:27:25,043 --> 00:27:25,918
He's right.
330
00:27:26,459 --> 00:27:27,834
What the fuck?
331
00:27:27,918 --> 00:27:29,043
Syndril.
332
00:27:30,334 --> 00:27:34,084
Zacaré's mists need a pure signal
to read you honestly.
333
00:27:34,959 --> 00:27:36,543
He's involved in all of this shit!
334
00:27:41,376 --> 00:27:43,418
If anyone gets to punish Syndril, it's me.
335
00:27:44,084 --> 00:27:48,001
And trust me, I will. But right now,
your friend's in dire need of healing.
336
00:27:49,501 --> 00:27:50,584
Follow me.
337
00:28:02,501 --> 00:28:06,168
It's all about the little things,
isn't it? When you think about it.
338
00:28:07,209 --> 00:28:10,459
The little traces
we leave behind of ourselves.
339
00:28:11,668 --> 00:28:12,876
Our little tells.
340
00:28:14,626 --> 00:28:18,084
I could always tell when Gwen had been
in a room or crossed a street.
341
00:28:19,001 --> 00:28:23,293
That smell of, uh… winterberry and lilac.
342
00:28:24,876 --> 00:28:26,584
Still don't know how she did that.
343
00:28:30,834 --> 00:28:33,709
Followed you all over
this cursed continent, so I have.
344
00:28:34,918 --> 00:28:35,918
Gaylth.
345
00:28:36,501 --> 00:28:37,584
Bon Machán.
346
00:28:38,084 --> 00:28:39,376
Kilmac.
347
00:28:39,459 --> 00:28:44,501
Just missing you
by a bee's dick sometimes.
348
00:28:47,626 --> 00:28:49,584
You'd think finding
a sergeant with one eye
349
00:28:49,668 --> 00:28:52,001
and a penchant for pretty dwarves
would be easy.
350
00:28:53,626 --> 00:28:55,876
I can hear Gwen laughin' at me.
351
00:28:55,959 --> 00:28:58,584
Cursing the gods each time I missed you.
352
00:29:02,043 --> 00:29:04,209
I loved her, you see.
353
00:29:06,168 --> 00:29:07,334
I really, really did.
354
00:29:09,251 --> 00:29:10,626
Come on, love.
355
00:29:15,876 --> 00:29:19,501
HERE LIES TALYYSEN OF THE ONE EYE,
RAPIST, MURDERER.
356
00:29:19,584 --> 00:29:23,543
ENDED BY GWEN OF THE FLOWERS.
MAY HE SUFFER ETERNITY IN THE LOST PLACE.
357
00:29:23,626 --> 00:29:25,751
I think we've had enough of Elven cities.
358
00:29:30,584 --> 00:29:33,459
Meldof was done with the world of elves.
359
00:29:34,168 --> 00:29:35,709
But the world of elves
360
00:29:36,209 --> 00:29:38,043
was far from done with her.
361
00:29:46,001 --> 00:29:48,084
Wh-- where are you taking us?
362
00:29:48,168 --> 00:29:51,834
On an adventure.
To meet a wonderful friend of mine.
363
00:30:03,084 --> 00:30:04,043
Come.
364
00:30:05,418 --> 00:30:07,834
She knows how special you are.
365
00:30:31,001 --> 00:30:33,334
I have brought you celestial siblings.
366
00:30:34,126 --> 00:30:35,709
Born under a scarlet moon.
367
00:30:36,709 --> 00:30:38,001
Their magic is rare.
368
00:30:38,876 --> 00:30:39,834
Powerful.
369
00:30:39,918 --> 00:30:42,251
-I can taste it.
-Taste…
370
00:30:42,334 --> 00:30:43,626
Are you sure?
371
00:30:43,709 --> 00:30:47,793
The power you seek is not given freely.
372
00:30:47,876 --> 00:30:51,043
Chaos magic comes with a cost.
373
00:30:51,126 --> 00:30:52,376
A cost…
374
00:30:56,084 --> 00:30:58,793
The world lies at your feet, sage.
375
00:30:58,876 --> 00:31:00,293
Sage…
376
00:31:20,543 --> 00:31:23,793
A magic beyond belief
surged through him.
377
00:31:24,376 --> 00:31:26,668
White-hot. Unstoppable.
378
00:31:27,584 --> 00:31:30,293
It felt like pure chaos.
379
00:31:36,918 --> 00:31:40,459
-No.
-Mere tokens beget mere tastes.
380
00:31:40,543 --> 00:31:43,918
-Transformation requires true sacrifice.
-Sacrifice…
381
00:31:44,001 --> 00:31:45,251
What do you mean?
382
00:31:47,959 --> 00:31:50,001
What do you mean, true sacrifice?
383
00:32:03,293 --> 00:32:05,543
-Quite the collection.
384
00:32:05,626 --> 00:32:06,834
Is that an Aibelle?
385
00:32:07,543 --> 00:32:10,168
You have
an excellent eye, Empress.
386
00:32:10,251 --> 00:32:12,334
And you have excellent taste.
387
00:32:31,918 --> 00:32:33,793
Good morning, High Commander.
388
00:32:33,876 --> 00:32:36,251
Please, join us.
389
00:32:56,626 --> 00:32:58,084
We were so careful.
390
00:32:59,126 --> 00:33:01,626
Sometimes, luck simply casts her lot
against you.
391
00:33:03,501 --> 00:33:05,709
I'm not here to expose you.
392
00:33:07,209 --> 00:33:09,751
I know what it's like to love someone
from a forbidden class.
393
00:33:12,209 --> 00:33:13,501
I'm here alone.
394
00:33:14,668 --> 00:33:15,751
With a proposition.
395
00:33:16,709 --> 00:33:17,751
That's bold.
396
00:33:19,709 --> 00:33:20,918
Or foolish.
397
00:33:21,459 --> 00:33:23,626
Well, surely I couldn't be
in safer company,
398
00:33:24,126 --> 00:33:26,668
with the high commander
of the Golden Empire army
399
00:33:26,751 --> 00:33:30,418
and a future member
of my Imperial Council.
400
00:33:31,168 --> 00:33:33,876
You-- you'd make me
a member of your council?
401
00:33:33,959 --> 00:33:35,876
With a title.
402
00:33:35,959 --> 00:33:39,751
How does Ambassador of Trade
to the New Worlds sound?
403
00:33:41,543 --> 00:33:44,459
Isn't that what you want?
A seat at the table.
404
00:33:45,084 --> 00:33:48,084
Access to the new worlds free of Balor.
405
00:33:48,168 --> 00:33:50,918
The social status to marry, if you wish.
406
00:33:51,668 --> 00:33:54,626
-I don't mean to presume.
-Balor would never allow it.
407
00:33:54,709 --> 00:33:58,709
Well, I propose we show Balor
that the Crown and military are as one.
408
00:33:59,418 --> 00:34:02,668
That he answers to our empire,
not the other way around.
409
00:34:05,293 --> 00:34:06,918
Why should I take the risk?
410
00:34:10,751 --> 00:34:12,709
You and I want the same thing.
411
00:34:14,626 --> 00:34:17,001
To expand our nascent empire.
412
00:34:18,834 --> 00:34:22,626
Balor is a lowborn
who despises our existence.
413
00:34:23,501 --> 00:34:26,543
He will never treat you as an equal.
Surely you must see that.
414
00:34:26,626 --> 00:34:28,334
He controls the gateways.
415
00:34:30,251 --> 00:34:32,209
We need him to get to those new worlds.
416
00:34:32,293 --> 00:34:33,918
Not for much longer.
417
00:34:35,001 --> 00:34:36,834
If we work together.
418
00:34:40,376 --> 00:34:43,168
There is… one more thing that I require.
419
00:34:45,168 --> 00:34:46,668
An heir.
420
00:34:47,918 --> 00:34:51,876
Please ensure that Fjall Stoneheart
is brought back to me, alive.
421
00:34:52,876 --> 00:34:57,001
He's more likely to cut your throat
than grace you with an heir.
422
00:34:57,709 --> 00:34:59,793
Well, circumstances change.
423
00:35:00,793 --> 00:35:03,168
Those at odds can become allies.
424
00:35:04,501 --> 00:35:05,459
So…
425
00:35:06,584 --> 00:35:07,918
do we see eye to eye?
426
00:35:15,084 --> 00:35:16,793
Well, don't think on it too long.
427
00:35:18,168 --> 00:35:22,418
Lives seem to be made and destroyed
in the blink of an eye these days.
428
00:35:28,043 --> 00:35:30,626
-This could be a new beginning.
429
00:35:38,043 --> 00:35:39,376
Or our quick end.
430
00:36:10,459 --> 00:36:13,168
You and the mage,
how do you know each other?
431
00:36:13,709 --> 00:36:14,834
Brother and sister.
432
00:36:15,334 --> 00:36:16,376
Of a sort.
433
00:36:17,626 --> 00:36:20,793
Born at the same time,
in the same village,
434
00:36:20,876 --> 00:36:22,834
under the same burning star.
435
00:36:24,751 --> 00:36:28,709
Celestial twins. Gifted with
the same magical talents, but, um…
436
00:36:30,501 --> 00:36:31,501
that was a long time ago.
437
00:36:31,584 --> 00:36:32,751
Hold her elbow.
438
00:37:04,418 --> 00:37:05,251
Thank you.
439
00:37:10,168 --> 00:37:12,668
-How do you feel?
-Amazing.
440
00:37:19,959 --> 00:37:21,459
What happened in Xin'trea?
441
00:37:25,084 --> 00:37:29,168
You know, I have spent my entire life
442
00:37:30,459 --> 00:37:32,793
dreaming of reaching another world.
443
00:37:35,001 --> 00:37:37,793
And when the gateway finally worked,
I was overjoyed.
444
00:37:38,376 --> 00:37:41,543
The land, the food, the endless resources.
445
00:37:41,626 --> 00:37:44,793
Hope for elvenkind
for generations to come.
446
00:37:44,876 --> 00:37:47,501
But the world we stepped into was dead.
447
00:37:49,001 --> 00:37:50,001
Utterly barren.
448
00:37:50,793 --> 00:37:51,709
"We"?
449
00:37:52,418 --> 00:37:55,668
Chief Sage Balor was at my side.
450
00:37:55,751 --> 00:37:58,668
There was an energy there
that terrified me.
451
00:38:01,043 --> 00:38:02,418
And in the sky,
452
00:38:03,834 --> 00:38:05,043
a great beast.
453
00:38:08,084 --> 00:38:09,376
The sound it made…
454
00:38:14,043 --> 00:38:18,126
I tried to warn Balor
about what I had felt in that place,
455
00:38:18,209 --> 00:38:20,918
that chaotic power.
456
00:38:21,709 --> 00:38:24,959
I told him.
I told him that the gateway was a mistake,
457
00:38:25,043 --> 00:38:26,334
but he wouldn't listen.
458
00:38:27,834 --> 00:38:30,001
He took my Book of Monoliths
and locked me away.
459
00:38:30,751 --> 00:38:33,126
Told everyone else
I was lost on another world.
460
00:38:35,209 --> 00:38:37,209
And then, from my prison cell,
461
00:38:40,543 --> 00:38:45,334
I saw the very same beast,
under Balor's spell,
462
00:38:45,418 --> 00:38:47,251
turn them to a bloodied mist.
463
00:38:47,751 --> 00:38:50,459
I escaped and vowed
to destroy the gateways.
464
00:38:50,543 --> 00:38:51,959
So Balor is behind all this?
465
00:38:52,959 --> 00:38:54,418
Oh, you don't know.
466
00:38:56,376 --> 00:39:00,168
Merwyn slit your sister's throat herself.
467
00:39:09,918 --> 00:39:11,418
I speak the truth.
468
00:39:13,751 --> 00:39:17,751
-How big is this beast?
-Length of a ship from heads to tail.
469
00:39:19,626 --> 00:39:21,293
But there is a bigger problem.
470
00:39:23,501 --> 00:39:28,501
The monoliths are causing
tears between the worlds.
471
00:39:28,584 --> 00:39:31,834
Strange energies are leaking into ours.
472
00:39:31,918 --> 00:39:34,209
This is why Zacaré
struggles even to heal.
473
00:39:34,793 --> 00:39:37,918
We have mere suns
before our world is ripped apart.
474
00:39:39,709 --> 00:39:41,876
The end of our world is upon us unless…
475
00:39:41,959 --> 00:39:46,084
We need to destroy the master monolith
in Xin'trea. Ard Gaeth.
476
00:39:46,168 --> 00:39:47,084
Let us join you.
477
00:39:47,668 --> 00:39:50,334
You want to kill the empress?
Avenge your families?
478
00:39:50,418 --> 00:39:53,209
You'll never make it to Xin'trea
before the world's torn apart.
479
00:39:53,293 --> 00:39:57,293
We are planning on using a monolith
to force a gateway
480
00:39:57,376 --> 00:39:59,709
and jump straight inside
the palace courtyard.
481
00:39:59,793 --> 00:40:01,084
It's how I got here.
482
00:40:01,168 --> 00:40:05,168
Through a monolith a half sun's west.
We could be in the palace tonight.
483
00:40:05,251 --> 00:40:06,584
-Balor will have it protected.
-No.
484
00:40:06,668 --> 00:40:09,959
Balor doesn't know travel between
the monoliths themselves is possible.
485
00:40:10,043 --> 00:40:12,459
We stand a better chance together
than apart.
486
00:40:13,334 --> 00:40:15,168
The gods brought us together.
487
00:40:17,251 --> 00:40:18,793
There's meaning in that.
488
00:40:18,876 --> 00:40:21,834
We've no choice.
We have no sellswords, so…
489
00:40:22,459 --> 00:40:24,418
Fuck's sake. Okay.
490
00:40:24,501 --> 00:40:25,793
We'll protect you.
491
00:40:25,876 --> 00:40:28,959
You destroy the monolith.
We'll take down Merwyn and her beast.
492
00:40:34,668 --> 00:40:38,834
And so four became six.
493
00:40:51,376 --> 00:40:54,043
You hear
they're shipping us down to Xin'trea?
494
00:40:54,126 --> 00:40:56,251
Thought they didn't
let elfyns in their army.
495
00:40:56,334 --> 00:40:58,626
Well, I hear
they eat like kings down there.
496
00:40:59,293 --> 00:41:03,668
Lowborn to highborn,
every one of them as plump as fools.
497
00:41:03,751 --> 00:41:05,584
That's far enough…
498
00:41:05,668 --> 00:41:08,626
There's meat and fish
on every table.
499
00:41:56,834 --> 00:41:58,751
Why are there two moons?
500
00:41:58,834 --> 00:42:01,209
Where have you taken us, sage?
501
00:42:01,293 --> 00:42:04,334
I don't know. It should have worked.
502
00:42:04,418 --> 00:42:06,626
I thought
the palace would be fancier.
503
00:42:06,709 --> 00:42:08,626
Get us back to our world.
504
00:42:15,126 --> 00:42:17,751
So beautiful…
505
00:42:25,626 --> 00:42:26,793
Fuck!
506
00:42:27,543 --> 00:42:29,168
What the fuck is that?
507
00:42:29,251 --> 00:42:30,126
Go! Go!
508
00:42:30,959 --> 00:42:33,543
-No, wait for me!
-Éile! Move!
