Synopsis

Varic's brother took the crown and left him to die at the Wall. Varic survived, and now he is coming home to reclaim his kingdom.

While one king fights to take back his throne, another figure elsewhere is moving to awaken something the world buried long ago, so the return of the exiled ruler runs alongside the stirring of an ancient threat.

The film is a long-form fantasy epic of betrayal, exile and war, set in the world of Age of Kingdoms. It is the fourth part of the first season of that series and follows The Last King Of Men Went Into The Forest Alone.
