Some think he’s pushing too hard while others are outright hostile toward his progressive efforts. Elven customs and human pragmatism don’t always mix, and here-as well in Katolis-there are signs of trouble brewing.Įzran is the great champion of peace and cooperation, but his enthusiasm for change isn’t always shared by everyone. They live in a refugee camp alongside humans now, and as we learn in the first few episodes of the season, tensions are running high. The Sunfire Elves became homeless refugees after Viren and Aaravos (Erik Dellums) destroyed the city, killing the Queen and High Priest. The Dragon Prince Credit: Wonderstorm / Netflix
Hundreds of years of tension and mistrust don’t simply disappear overnight, as our heroes soon learn. Amaya and Janai (Rena Anakwe) find themselves at the symbolic center of this new era of goodwill and friendship, when Janai asks Amaya for her hand in marriage (after a rather unfortunate tangle with some Sunfire Elf dancers Amaya mistakes for attackers).īut the peace is a fragile one. This begins the reunification of Xadia after centuries of war and strife. Victorious, the united elves and humans were finally able to speak with the Dragon Queen Zubeia (Nicole Oliver), mother of Zym, the titular Dragon Prince. When we last encountered our heroes, they’d joined forces to defeat Viren and Claudia (Racquel Belmonte) and their dark magic army. It’s the first time we meet an Earthblood Elf for one thing, but I suspect there are other crucial reasons why this season is being associated with Earth specifically.
The first three “Books” were Moon, Sky and Sun respectively. Each season has its own element attached to it. I’ve only seen the first four episodes-or Chapters-of Season 4 and I’m itching to see the remaining five. You can find Through The Moon and Bloodmoon Huntress on Amazon. (Fans and newcomers alike should absolutely read the two graphic novels that Wonderstorm has released, as these have important stories about some of the show’s key characters, and will definitely help with the gap between seasons. If you enjoy shows about dragons and wizards and magical creatures with complicated characters that you want to root for even when they’re doing bad things, The Dragon Prince is a great choice for older and younger viewers. Like the best characters in Avatar and Korra, many of the ‘villains’ in The Dragon Prince are much more morally grey and complex than you’d expect. There’s lots of fun and humor but there are also deeper themes, political scheming and even some moments of tragedy and violence.
What I love about this show is that it’s great for the whole family in much the same way Avatar and Legend of Korra were. The first three seasons (which you should watch before you come to Season 4!) tell a complete arc about the adventures of a pair of young human boys, a young Moonshadow Elf assassin, and the dragon egg that’s in their care. But it’s also a world that has been torn apart by ancient feuds between the realm of Humans in the west and the magical realm of Elves and Dragons in the east. This is a world of magical elves and dragons and other strange creatures. Along with a team of writers, animators and game designers, they’ve been building out the magical world of Xadia into a television series, comic books, a mysterious video game, and some tabletop games.

The Dragon Prince is a fantasy series created by Wonderstorm, a studio led by Aaron Ehasz (former head writer on Avatar: The Last Airbender) and Justin Richmond (game director of Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception). (Skip ahead if you are familiar with all this). If you’re new to The Dragon Prince, here’s a brief primer. Where the fledgling peace between the humans and their neighboring elves and dragons will go next is a bigger mystery still.
