Keep moving. The bridge is collapsing.

Get to the boats quickly.

>> Long before the banners gathered beneath

the mountain,

the northern kingdoms believed their

oldest danger had already passed.

For generations,

the ashworm Varakos ruled the skies

above Crown Mount Voggar.

Its shadow darkened the valleys. Its

fire haunted the waters of Lake Naras.

And beneath its ancient throne, a secret

remained forgotten.

When Kalin Rook brought the great beast

down, the people of Meowan called it a

victory.

But deep below the mountain,

something answered its fall.

An ancient [music] seal fractured. The

crown heart prism awakened and the road

beneath the world began to open.

Ordinone [music] returned to the kingdom

of his ancestors

where halls of black stone guarded

endless gold. He believed the mountain

was his inheritance.

Yet the crown whispered of betrayal.

The treasure fed his fear,

and the ruler who had once dreamed of

restoring his people slowly closed his

gates against the world.

Outside Velgar,

three armies approached.

The survivors of Vera came seeking

shelter. The silven carried medicine,

ancient promises, and forgotten claims.

The warriors of Black Forge marched

beneath bronze banners, demanding that

no single king control the fate of the

north.

While they argued over gold, water, and

broken [music] oaths,

vared

beneath their feet.

Through the night road came ashore

legions, [music] siege beasts bound in

iron, and stone giants carrying the

weapons of a buried war.

The earth opened,

and every kingdom [music] finally

understood.

The enemy was never the army standing

across the snow.

It was the [music] darkness rising

beneath them.

Five banners entered the war,

but only four could choose unity.

[music]

Kalin defended the living.

Heron carried the crown through fire and

ruin.

Sylvvarum and Branic place survile above

pride.

And Ordin

at last understood

that a kingdom is not the gold beneath a

throne,

nor the crown upon a ruler's head.

A kingdom is a promise

that its people choose to protect

together.

Before the night road could consume the

mountain,

Ordin broke the circle of the crown,

[bell]

opened the gates of Valear,

and walked toward his final battle.

He did not return as a king.

He returned as a guardian.

And beneath five banners, [music] united

by sacrifice,

the first light of a new age rose over

Valder.

[music]

State your purpose, messenger.

The look on your face suggests ill

tidings.

>> [music]

>> Is anyone here? Maroin rescue. Can

anyone hear my voice? Say something.

[groaning]

Pull together now. Pull. [groaning]

>> Hold the line steady. Keep it tight.

[groaning]

>> Ordan's winter covenant means nothing.

While they feast in Veilgar, and we

starve down here.

All

right.

>> [music]

>> See to it the reserves are inventoried.

Seal the secondary entrances, but leave

the main gate mechanisms untouched.

>> We must open the granaries for the

people of Meowin, my lord. I will not.

Not while the war continues.

>> Look at this empty cradle. The prism is

missing. Tell me where it is, Peron,

before my patience runs out.

Have you found anything in this mess,

Pin?

As a matter of fact,

I have

Hold it steady right there. Securing

this side now.

Make sure it's tied tight to the stone.

[groaning]

>> Watch your step here. The stones are

slick.

>> I am all right. Just keep moving.

We are almost there.

Ride hard. Deliver this token to Vgar

and demand the Winter Covenant. We need

his answer by dawn.

My lord, Varicos is dead. And as you can

see, Veilgar's seal is weakening.

These samples confirm the contamination,

and the blankets show the severity of

their injuries. They have nothing left.

This is what remains of the town hall.

I want these relief crates loaded

immediately. Sariah, take the forward

team. Elrich, ensure the engineers have

their tools. Move swiftly.

>> Tighten the sternum strap.

>> Does that pinch?

>> No, it feels secure. Ready for the

clasp.

Heat.

Heat.

Oh. Oh,

>> [groaning]

>> Heat.

Heat.

Varicos set this trap before he died.

They are marching straight into it and

we cannot warn them in time.

Do you forget how we reached Veilgar?

Meowin guided us here, and this token is

proof of the debt we still owe them.

>> Hear me now. By right of might, I claim

the reserves and Crownheart authority.

Veilgar belongs to the Stoneborn.

>> The strength of the throne rests not in

ancient relics, but in unwavering unity

and obedience to the crown.

>> I want those secondary braces locked

tight.

Move, engineers, move.

This is all that remains. Divide it

evenly.

Pray it sees us through the night.

Here

[music]

is a blanket for you, sir. Stay warm.

Thank you. Your help means everything to

us.

We require the moon seed jewels and

immediate access to the ancient water

channels. This drought affects us all.

We fight together now, but saving these

people is the priority. Agreed. Let's

make this count.

This is herbal medicine.

Drink it slowly. It will warm you up.

Or [screaming] done.

[screaming]

Anna

I demand the immediate return of the

Moon Sea jewels and the restoration of

our shared water covenant. This cannot

wait.

I know this weighs heavily on us all,

but we must decide where our true

loyalty lies.

I understand the risk, but we cannot let

traditions starve our people. The seal

must be inspected. Look at it, Varic.

The granary is sealed. Ordan has gone

too far. I know, but I cannot betray my

oath, Hadrim. I cannot.

The armory is sealed. None of you should

be here. Explain yourselves.

>> Empty your bags now. All keys on the

bench. Move.

Ensure the eastern watch is doubled

tonight.

>> I'll secure the relief crates.

>> The stew is almost ready.

The northern pass is vulnerable.

>> We don't have the forces to cover it.

Then we must use the staff to seal the

breach. They've established a forward

camp here at the junction near the seal

lock. We must intercept them before they

breach the channels. He intends to

exhaust the banners.

Then he will use the crown heart to open

the night road.

Patrol teams, split up and secure the

perimeter. Everyone else, move the

civilians into the shelters quickly.

Now, despite the warning, we stand

resolute before Vgar. Send the scouts to

Scan Watch. They must report before

first light.

>> [music]

>> I don't know. [music]

>> [music]

>> No faction will seize Veil Guard. Ah, or

break the ancestral seal.

[screaming]

How many more are left in the square?

This is the last group from the east

barracks. We're securing the entrance

now.

Forward. Keep moving. Pull. You dogs.

Pull. Heave. Ho. Heave. Ho. [groaning]

>> Remain calm everyone. The guards are

securing the entrances now. These

shelters have held strong for

generations. They will hold tonight.

[music]

>> Take one dose every 6 hours. be vigilant

out there.

>> Thank you, Sarah. We will

Raise the shield wall. Place the armored

wagons at the front.

Orders received.

This is the seal zone. I am Branic

Forgeand. Withdraw your forces

immediately.

You broke your promise, Branic. Look at

the smoke from Vera's fires. Your honor

is stained by the blood of those

refugees.

[music]

Ash orcs are tunneling beneath us right

now. We must stop them.

[sighs and gasps]

>> Hold the gate, Branic. Maintain the

line. We secure this passage now.

>> [groaning and screaming]

>> Hold formation. Keep moving.

>> [music]

[groaning]

>> Stand down. Hold your fire. All of you.

Wait for my command.

>> Hold your fire. Stand down. Men, hold

the line.

[sighs and panting]

[panting]

>> Do you truly understand the

consequences, Perin?

Taking the prism is no small matter.

A civil war here means we surrender the

prism and the night road to Vargas.

The prism,

it's the key.

We can reseal the night road.

[music]

>> It is not safe here. Peron, you must

withdraw to the rear camp. No, my place

is here. I will not move.

He betrayed you. Orvin,

Ordan needs to hear the truth from you,

his friend.

Who removed the prism from Veilgar?

Your betrayal of the ember crown oath

will not be forgiven. Peron, you are a

traitor to us all.

I am preventing you from turning Veilgar

into the key to the night road.

Withdraw your archers now, Silver, or

Forgive me, old friend. I was wrong. The

just move forward.

We must install the Crown Hart before

Vargas reaches the upper seal station.

He's heading for the fortress seal. I

see it.

The Crown Heart can only close the Night

Road if someone reaches the central

anchor.

>> Take the Vera road, Pin. It's madness to

risk the Crown Heart on this ascent.

Then it is a madness we share. We go up

That's the way up.
