He makes up for it with his empathy towards others, and his protectiveness over his little brother Ezran. Predisposed to distrust each other, they don’t have the immediate chemistry of Avatar's Aang, Sokka, and Katara, but they’re given just enough time in the spotlight for us to root for them.Ĭallum begins his journey much like Sokka began his (he’s even voiced by the same actor, Jack De Sena) in that he’s unsure of his abilities, and lacks confidence. They eventually team up with an Elven Assassin, Rayla, and endeavor to return a lost dragon egg to where it belongs, which will supposedly end the war.

Now Playing: Netflix's The Dragon Prince Season 1 Reviewīut thankfully, the setup is unique enough to set itself apart for a whole new tale. The Dragon Prince is currently streaming on Netflix.By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's So how much of the story at hand does Aaravos know? Is he a force for good, or an unreliable narrator sowing evil in the world? Viren isn’t the type of person who would normally take advice from an elf - it’s only after the human kingdoms refuse to listen to him that he does.īut what does Aaravos gain out of teaching Viren? It could be that his hands contribute to the show’s framing device, opening the book in every episode. Aaravos encourages Viren to sow fear and dissent among the human kingdoms, so that he may take control. Though Aaravos is trapped within the mirror he manages to communicate with Viren after a magic ritual allows him to use a glowing worm to whisper in Viren’s ear. Throughout season 2, Aaravos teaches Viren some more complicated dark magic spells. “We don’t entirely understand what his role is or what his role has been.” Aavaros using magic Wonderstorm/Netflix “The person who you thought was the omniscient narrator is in fact a character, an active player in this world, right? Or is some kind of player,” Ehasz continued. The Dragon Prince creators unravel the mythology of season 2’s human kingdoms The end of The Dragon Prince season 2 forces everyone to grow up for season 3 According to the lore page on the Dragon Prince website, star magic “draws on the vast and timeless power of the cosmos, and involves divination, cosmic vision, and seeing into the ‘beyond.’” This describes an omniscient-sort of narrator, but the fact that Aaravos has now made an actual appearance indicates that his role stretches beyond just telling us the story of Xadia and the Human Kingdoms. Startouch elves are elusive and mysterious, even more so than other types of elves. Someone asked me early on and they were like, hey, you got Eric Todd Dellums to do the narrator you have something more in mind for the narrator,” Aaron Ehasz told Polygon. Though we only got our first glimpse of Aaravos in season 2, sharp-eyed fans (who use subtitles) will notice that Aaravos isn’t just a mysterious and possibly evil elf - he also narrated the intro to the first episode.
He plants himself in front of the mirror, until, finally, a Startouch elf named Aaravos appears.ĭoes that name sound familiar? It just might. When he interrogated Moonshadow elf Runaan about it, the elf’s eyes widened, and he replied that it is “something worse than death.”Īfter Viren nearly destroys the mirror in a fit of rage in the second episode of season two, it begins to glow, revealing some sort of pocket dimension, which contains a room with a bookshelf, huge window, and a desk. But no matter what he tried, the mirror never revealed anything. He explained to his daughter Claudia that the Dragon King and Queen kept it in their bedroom, and that he has been trying to figure out what secrets it holds since the humans snatched it up. The mystery of the magic mirror plagued dark mage Viren for most of the first season. Head writer Aaron Ehasz talked to Polygon about the big reveal, and how the fans who caught on that a brief tease in season one might mean something weighter for the world. As it turns it out, the showrunners planted this mystery very early on in the series. One of the most ominous and thrilling parts of The Dragon Prince season 2 is the reveal of Aaravos and what lies beyond the mysterious magic mirror.
