astrologist that can read the stars tyr and his friends are to seek her out and retrieve her readings because there are no boats to the island craze arranged a dragon knight futch to allow them safe travel upon his dragon black as ted gets into an argument with the dragon knight he inadvertently reveals that he is 300 years old the group is lifted away on the dragon and soars through the sky toward the magician's island there they fight through a series of woods and defeat various enemies at the end of the area they come across luke who says he will prepare an appropriate challenge luke summons gollum a powerful adversary to oppose the team impressed with the power of the group luke realizes that tyr and his friends have come to see lechnaut and instructs them to proceed inward after climbing the stairs of the palace the group finally reaches the seer she says she has prepared the astral conclusions and asked the team to follow as tear enters the chamber leknat is seen preparing her readings after she learns tyr's name she explains that while she can see the future she admits the future is not unchangeable she adds that tear has a significant role to play in the development of the future and that he will have to make several painful choices and experience a great deal of sorrow after declaring that destiny is in his hands she gives him the astral conclusions before they all leave leknot gives cleo the fire crystal and says her job is to protect tear luke then takes them all to the shore by way of the wind rune and they all fly back to gregminster together on the dragon tyr delivers the astral conclusions to craze who asks him to prepare for his next task they are all to travel to rockland a town to the east of gregminster where the people are refusing to pay taxes to the empire they are to seek out the military commander of rockland grady to better understand the situation known one of crazy's subordinates will accompany tyr and his friends on the journey after making their way to rockland canaan demands to talk to grady grady says the town has failed to pay its taxes because bandits on the nearby mount saifu have been pillaging the villagers grady asks if the party can dispose of the bandits so that the town's obligation can be fulfilled within the cavern to the mountain they find the queen ant a giant menace that stands in the party's way gremio advises running but ted says he has an idea and instructs everyone to stand back as they do ted uses a rune that obliterates the monster stunning everyone and causing kanan to take notice on the top of the mountain the party encounters the two bandits varkus and sidonia after defeating them in combat they reluctantly surrender and are brought back to rockland there grady accuses them of being tax thieves but varkus blames grady of the same grady hands over ten thousand bits to canon who tells the team to head back to gregminster to report to craze when they return kanan says he will report to craze alone and tells everyone to go home and rest pawn suggests kanan intends to take credit for the mission but the group agrees to head to the mcdoll home nonetheless however canon asked ted to come with him although he doesn't understand why he agrees later that night as tyr pon gremio and cleo dine they are interrupted by the alarm that ted has found bloody lying in the entryway of the home as they take notice of a magic wound upon him he awakens and explains that he was brought into the imperial palace by craze who introduced him to windy wendy seems to know who he is and says ted hasn't changed in 300 years ted responds an alarm apparently knowing her identity as a witch from his past when she demanded that ted hand over the rune on his hand he resisted he then held up his arm using the soul leader rune to escape the predicament after concluding the story he passes out again and the group wonders why the imperial guard is so interested in him when ted finally wakes up he asks tyr to take off his right glove he admits that he carries the soul eater one of the 27 true runes the reason for which wendy is after him when gremio asks why she wishes to obtain the rune he says he doesn't know but he's been trying to escape her clutches for 300 years ted says he'll never escape wendy with the wound she has caused so he decides to give the soul eater to tear for protection even though he says it may bring him suffering tyr then extends his hand and the soul eater is transferred to him just then craze kanan and the imperial guards force their way into the mcdole household they say that pond tipped them off who responds that he couldn't allow trouble to occur while master teo is gone craze commands the guard to drag ted out of the house cleo and gremio stand up for ted who volunteers to be taken away peacefully because they still think he has the soul eater ted advises tyr gremio and cleo to escape through the back of the house and they agree they make their way to the gregminster inn as it is raining and spend the night there upon the invitation of marie the innkeeper the next morning tier and his friends awakened to an imperial search party they learned that tears now considered a fugitive having escaped the clutches of craze and his minions as they're given trouble by the imperial troops a man emerges from a side room to convince them that the fugitives would never be so stupid as to hide within gregminster in a ruse he volunteers to kick them out and takes them outside introducing himself as victor he says he knows the true identity of tyr and asks how the group plans to escape victor volunteers to help them out of the city upon the condition that he can introduce them all to a friend of his tyr and his friends agree and victor joins the party after victor bribes a guard the group hides their faces and exits the city gates the adventurers then proceed to meet victor's friend in lenin camp to the south victor leaves to make some arrangements and the party goes to the inn after agreeing to stay the night they question why pond betrayed them in that moment guards swarm in under the information that fugitives are being harbored inside taken by surprise tyr and his friends contemplate their next move but a figure appears behind the clock in the room and tells them to enter through a secret passageway after entering they find that the woman who saved them odessa knows that they are acquainted with victor they soon learn that they are inside the headquarters of the liberation army where odessa introduces herself as the leader flick victor sanchez and humphrey are all part of the group which opposes the empire as the son of an imperial general victor says tyr would make a great addition gremio thinks it is a crazy consideration but cleo thinks tears should consider joining the conversation is interrupted by a wounded man who reveals that the mount saifu bandits are working to undermine the empire but their leaders varkas and sedonia were captured by imperials grady now has them strung up and starving to death in rockland knowing they are the same bandits they help to capture tyr and his friends agree to assist them to right they're wrong and flix says they'll have to keep a low profile victor agrees to join the party and they make their way out of the hideout back in rocklin the crew finds that grady has set up security to prevent entry into his house victor lights the house on fire giving tyr and his friends a diversion to enter fighting their way through guards they eventually make it outside where they help free the two bandit leaders from their bondage grady realizes the group has betrayed the emperor and freed the bandits and promises to tell craze about their treachery as they leave town varkus says to tell lady odessa of his intention to repay the liberation army back in lenin camp odessa learns of tyr's success the party is also informed of the liberation army's plans to develop a fire spear which can be used in the future to overcome the imperial army odessa tells tyr that the blueprint for the weapon must reach the secret factory of the rebellion and wants him to deliver it gremio backs at the prospect of betraying the empire and tyr's father and warns him to turn down the mission however cleo intends to let tear decide their fate and says she will protect him regardless ultimately tyr decides to take the mission sanchez says that over mount tiger wolf is a village called sarady where a factory contact will accept the plans odessa decides to join the party to assist and flick is told to remain to protect the headquarters after climbing mount tigerwolf with odessa tyr and his friends are stopped by leiden who encourages them to spend the night at his inn the group agrees and is offered some tea after they taste it they all pass out and it is revealed that leyden drugged the tea he then robs the group stealing all the money from the party just then kessler comes in who leiden refers to as boss he then realizes that leiden has stolen from odessa the leader of the liberation army and orders leiden to prepare an antidote when they awaken kessler apologizes for the deed and the team stays the night the next morning they continue their journey through the mountain and eventually reach saraty odessa says to meet the contact at the inn so they enter and stay the night tear awakens and finds odessa on the patio she tells him that she feels overwhelmed by her responsibility as the leader of the rebellion and admits the desire to run from the conflict at times when tier says he intends to rejoin the empire odessa laments that the next time they'll meet they'll likely be enemies even still she tells tyr to follow his heart regardless of the circumstances as they converse the ninja cage appears to receive the plans for the fire spear back in london camp they find the innkeeper dead odessa discovers that the imperials have broken into the liberation army headquarters and heads down through the secret entrance after tyr and his friends defeat several groups of guards odessa is found wounded on the ground as the group tends to her health she lifts her cloak to reveal a child who she saved from the slaughter realizing that she has been mortally wounded she admits to failing as a leader knowing that she is about to die she makes two final requests first she asked here to deliver an earring to a man named matthew in the village of psycha secondly she asked that her body be thrown into the nearby stream so that rebel sympathizers don't despair in her death she says to tell flick that his kindness always saw her through hard times and hopes tyr will get to realize the free world that she never had a chance to see to get to psycha the team must traverse the fortress of cuaba which victor says will pose a challenge when they arrive cleo says the fortress is guarded by lord ein guide an old friend of master taos to pass through undetected they decide to take assumed names by way of victor and gremio's acting skills the ruse works and ein guide is convinced to allow tier and his friends through in psycha a man says that matthew lives in a home up the steps to the northeast inside the children say that master matthew is outside taking a walk when the man they talked to earlier admits to being matthew gremio offers him the earring odessa wanted him to have matthew then realizes she has died and regrets that she got caught up in the struggle with the empire and calls her a fool after telling tyr and his friends to leave imperial soldiers swarm into his home they say they have orders from kasim hazel to seize him and make him assist the empire in the war but matthew says he'll have nothing to do with it when the guards threaten to punish a child at matthew's house if he refuses tyr and the others intervene on his behalf after the guards are defeated matthew says he knows tears the son of teo and reveals he is matthew silverberg the brother of odessa though the two had their differences matthew admits to being a coward by avoiding involvement in the resistance however he realizes that his desire to escape would never change the world and commits himself now to odessa's cause matthew gives tear the earring odessa left to him and proclaims him the new leader of the liberation army in her stead though gremio and cleo realize following tyr means being traitors they agree to do so matthew instructs the team to recruit followers throughout the world and says that a new liberation army headquarters will need to be established to withstand imperial attacks he consequently advises tyr to seek out the abandoned castle in the middle of lake toron for that purpose in the harbor town of kaku tier learns that gremio is in debt to a woman named camille for casa crude from a banquet though they cannot pay at the moment camille demands to join the party until they can repair downstairs they find tai ho who says that tyr and his friends must be mad to venture to the castle in the middle of the lake because it is infested with monsters however he's willing to risk his life to make the trip with his ship if tyr bets all the money on a dice game after tai ho is beaten he agrees to prepare the boat and they all set sail for the castle after approaching it the group disembarks and fights their way through the inside with tai ho accompanying tyr in the heart of the castle they are surprised to discover a slumbering dragon when they get close he attacks with the help of his friends tyr defeats the dragon and lays claim to the structure they decide to name it tauran castle which will now serve as the headquarters to the liberation army inside matthew congratulates tyr leknot suddenly appears and gives tear the stone tablet of promise which contains the names of those who join the liberation army 108 in total they are called the stars of destiny in addition leknot summons luke who says he will serve tier as part of the new liberation army matthew recommends that tyr track down some recruits including a man named lapont in the village of kuan le ponte's attendant giovanni says that he is busy at the moment and will not allow the group to meet him a man named crin says the only way to draw lepant into meeting is by sneaking into his house and stealing his prized sword karingy with crin's help tyr and the party sneak into lapont's house inside they find the sword and take it outside that night crin admits that he divulged their location to lapont who barges into the inn and demands the return of his sword the only thing that calms him is learning that matthew led tear to him after tyr returns kering giovanni frantically warns that a new military commander of the town craze kidnapped lepant's wife eileen in a rage lapont quickly dispatches some guards and with the help of tyr fights his way through more when they reach craze he says that he's been reassigned to the home due to tears misdeeds as craze threatens eileen he calls upon pond to enter and instructs him to capture his former friends at first pawn seems torn about what to do but ultimately charges forward throws craze to the side and saves eileen tyr allows craze to escape but talks with pawn who apologizes to everyone for tipping off the imperials to their location still he now wishes to join the liberation army and they all agree to take him in lapont and his wife now realizing their fugitives as well also agree to join the cause back at tehran castle varkus and sedonia have arrived to join the liberation army in order to repay tyr and his friends for their assistance farkas wishes to speak to odessa but matthew tells him she has gone north on a mission and informs him that tyr is now the leader the liberation army holds a banquet to celebrate the addition of new friends and everyone converses as tyr leaves the dining hall though a ninja demands the rune on his hand and attacks after he is defeated he says that the liberation army has no chance against the empire and that wendy is prepared to destroy the rebellion after he flees pawn and gremio argue over who will stand guard over him as tyr heads to the boat he finds an elf named kirkus that is washed upon the shore he is helped by the liberation army and when he awakens he asks to speak to odessa when he has told tears the new leader he reveals that the great imperial general quanda rossman has launched a plan to exterminate the elves he asked for assistance but matthew says the liberation army's forces are currently insufficient nevertheless he recommends a reconnaissance mission to aid kirkus and the elves when tier and his friends reach the great forest kirkus guides them to a trail nearby when they reach the kobold village they realize that all the kobolds are missing except for one kuru mimi who says that his friends have been taken away when they finally arrive in the village of the elves a woman named valeria is warning of kwanda's plans to burn down the forest and destroy the elves kirkus informs the village elder that tyr and his friends are part of the liberation army and have arrived to protect the village even still the elder proclaims that humans should not be trusted kirkus is put under arrest for leaving the village without permission and tyr and his friends are jailed with him within the cell they talked to valeria who says she left her post in the empire and was caught up in the same trouble she says that kwanda has commissioned a powerful weapon the burning mirror to exterminate the elves and says that it has the power to burn down an entire village eventually sylvina questions kirkus's desire to bring in the humans but permits them all to escape kirkus says that the dwarves to the northeast should be contacted for more information on kwanda's plans when they all get there they ask the dwarven chief about his knowledge of the burning mirror and he answers that the device is a dwarven treasure when he hears that kwanda plans to use it to exterminate the elves he cheers the prospect on the chief doubts there and dares the party to steal the running water route from the dwarven vault to the north to do so they enter the vault and fight their way through its monsters deep inside they run into gigantis a terrifying foe after he is defeated they obtain the running water route when they bring the item back to the dwarven chief he agrees to assist the elves and says he will instruct the dwarves to build a weapon that can destroy the burning mirror as they head back to the elven village they notice a huge inferno in the distance as it turns out kirkus former home has been completely charred as kirkus laments the annihilation of his people he says that he intended to give salvina a ring believing it futile now he tosses it to the ground gremio attempts to lift his spirits and suggest returning to tehran castle to plan a campaign against kwanda rossman's army back in the kobold village kuru mimi is being hunted down by imperial troopers valeria offers to turn herself in if tyr and others will not be hurt and the imperials agree after she does so though they immediately order the execution of the rest of them kuru mimi joins the party and they attack afterward matthew arrives with the liberation army in the soldiers retreat sylvina arrives to hug kirkus having been rescued in time by stallion after learning about the burning mirror matthew says that survivors from the old

burning mirror matthew orders all forces to disperse but kwanda says it is too late as he prepares to unleash the mirror's destructive power it shatters into pieces and quanda is left stunned as it turns out the dwarven chief has deployed the power of the wildfire cannon just in time victor recommends seizing the moment to storm the castle and confront kwanda himself inside they encounter a giant dragon that guards the balcony after it is defeated the party corners kwanda outside realizing that tyr's the son of tao he pledges to protect the emperor and take on tyr with the power of the

zombies and skeletons he threatened the locals and demanded tengar zorak adds that the warriors village has a proud heritage of resilience against danger hicks expresses doubts in his strength but cleo gives him reassurance victor says that necklord used the rune to become a vampire and destroyed the village where he was from ever since he has sought vengeance for his family the next morning necklord has arrived in the village with his zombies causing incredible alarm he again demands tengar but zorak refuses zorak and the villagers charge against necklord but they are quickly vanquished by the might of the vampire victor courageously provokes him and attacks despite their best effort necklord destroys tyr and his friends with his immense power and boasts of his triumph hicks is too timid to oppose necklord and tengar is taken away he says he will not hurt the villagers and hicks promises to rescue her when tear awakens victor says a special weapon is necessary to defeat necklord zordek suggests they venture to the temple of klon to the west which holds a secret fukin the head monk of the temple guides them to the cave of the past where he says their destiny lies deep inside they find a magical sword standing upright as they approach it starts to speak and says whoever awakens it will be cursed with its magic it swallows the party into a void inside they arrive at an unknown location as they search around they find a young boy run through the village when he has spoken to he asks if tyr and his friends have come to take away the treasure the boy answers to the name ted and runs into his grandpa's home surprised that the boy answers to the same name as tyr's best friend they scout around more the village chief commands them to leave the place and instructs ted to go inside the chief continues to be evasive but speaks of hiding from a woman in abrupt fashion wendy appears outside and they all run out of the home with her is necklord and the party watches as wendy demands the chief's rune the soul eater the chief pretends to not know of what she speaks of so she threatens to burn the village of the hidden rune entirely as tyr and his friends look on the village suddenly bursts into flames and windy scoffs that uber has struck due to the chief's denial she again insists that the rune is given to her in response the chief utilizes the full power of the soul eater and the rune's power opens a gigantic void that brings the party to safety inside the home again the village elder apologizes for embroiling the party in danger and calls for ted to approach him he asks ted to extend his right hand and commands the soul eater depart from his own body and go into ted's the rune's magical force then illuminates and transfers its incredible power from the chief to ted the elder apologizes to ted for passing the burden to him and warns that the power of the rune should never be unleashed the chief asks tyr and his friends to take ted and run while he distracts wendy when they sneak out the back of the home they encounter uber an incredibly powerful knight victor can feel his terrible power and cautions his friends as uber attempts to attack necklord appears and instructs him to attend to wendy when victor tries to stop him necklord says he will take him on another time ted wonders what happened but cleo tells him he'll have to depend on himself from now on tyr and his friends now realize that the incident they just witnessed transpired 300 years in the past and that ted is the same one they know though he wishes to travel with them ted is told he must stay behind while the rest return to their time he is also instructed to remain strong and guard the rune after they all return to their own time they again approach the sword when victor tells it that he intends to kill necklord the sword offers to assist him and tells him to take hold of it victor then picks up the star dragon sword and the group returns to the warriors village there zorak learns that victor has discovered a method to defeat necklord and meets the star dragon's sword the villagers say they have been invited to necklord and tengar's wedding inspiring them to strike the vampire ahead of tyr at necklord's castle zorak and his men organize at the gates and necklord himself steps outside and heckles them he refuses to return tengar and says their wedding will commence when the sun sets he seals the gate with a magical force but victor says they must attempt to proceed anyway hicks begs to join them but sorak warns that he has not yet proven himself as a warrior even so hicks says he must keep his promise to tengar and tyr allows him to join realizing his newfound courage zorak grants him permission to name his sword and assist the

Thanks bookmarked. Played 1 2 3 5 and still confused about some timeline 😂

This guy makes great videos.

Good plot summary, but the guy narrating uses the same intonation on every single line. He ends every sentence with an upwards inflection, which sounds completely unnatural.
