Willow Lore transcripts

(&other interesting tidbits, cutting out less important bits)

Ep1: The Gales

Story of Taramis

Kit:

Have you ever heard the story of Taramis? She was a princess of Cashmere thousands of years ago, and she was, by all accounts, the most gorgeous woman that ever lived. So the King invited all the knights and all of the princes to complete for her hand. The winner of each event advancing to the next until two remained. This cocky young knight of Galladoorn and this helmeted warrior from some far off distant land who's face no one had yet seen. After a fierce battle, our mysterious stranger bested the knight, then removed his helmet. ..... It was princess Taramis.

Writing on the wall scene

Graydon:

"We stand at the threshold. We peer into the void. We bear witness to his glory. The Eternal One, the healer of worlds. (Rumbling) As he stirs from his deathless slumber deep below the surface, the Harbinger of the Wyrm will come." (Rumbling)

Meeting Willow

Willow:

Your brother is alive. A prisoner of The Withered Crone, who dwells in the Immemorial City that lies beyond the Shattered Sea. The four who came to Tir Asleen are her servants.

Willow:

You are Elora Danan, Last Blood of Kymeria, future Empress, High Priestess, Semprum Sorceress of the Nine Realms, and the worlds last, best hope against the evil coming to destroy us all.

*****

Ep2: The High Aldwin

Boorman about Madmartigan &the cuirass

...he spent five years searching the world for it.

*****

Ep3: The Battle of the Slaughtered Lamb

Cuirass story intro scene

Boorman:

It was ten thousand years, and about three weeks ago.. Thuul, heir to the Kymerian Empire, had been sick as a child. When his father died, his younger brother, Tiberius, felt he'd make the stronger king. For forty days, Tiberius lay siege to the capital (capitol in subs?), starving his own people to force his brother to abdicate his throne. So, their mother, Annabel, a fay of the Grove, forged for her son, Thuul, a cuirass of pure Khromium. Then she assembled the Lux Arcana, a magical key that activated the enchanted armor, so it would only serve he who was worthy of it's power.

Watching the storm scene

*The Crone speaking pnakotic*

Graydon:

The stars align, the door is open. The sphere turns, a God is awoken. Extinguish the flame, snuff out the light, and exile the child to the Thirteenth Night.

Willow:

Ah, so you speak cursed Pnakotic?

Graydon:

They're gonna kill her, aren't they?

Willow:

No, if they killed her, her spirit would endure, be reborn. But if they banish her, they can imprison her soul for all eternity. It's what Bavmorda was trying to do when I stopped her.

Rain fight

Ballantine:

I've seen the future, Jade. Looked into the void. The Eternal One will cleanse this world of all disease and pain. We shall be free.

*****

Ep4: The Whispers of Nockmaar

Tapestry scene

The Crone:

Do you renounce your name, your family?

Young Bavmorda:

I do.

The Crone:

Will you embrace the light of the Eternal One? Pledge your life to our endeavour, that we might deliver this world from suffering, into his warm embrace?

Young Bavmorda:

I will.

The Crone:

The Blood of the Six runs in your veins. You shall be his harbinger. Primal Priestess of the Wyrm, Queen Bavmorda.

~*~

End scene:

Kit:

What is the Blood of the Six?

Willow:

In the beginning, in the Grove, six fays betrayed the Mothers to serve the dark power. That line continued through the ages, strong magic but corrupt. The Blood of the Six.

Kit:

So Bavmorda, she was the Blood of the Six. Which means so am I. - And so is Airk.

*****

Ep5: Wildwood

Wand&magic talk scene

Willow:

This wand is a splinter from the Great Tree at the centre of all things. ...

In the wrong hands, Cherlindrea's wand is a powerful instrument of unimaginable destruction.

Scorpia interrogates Boorman scene

Scorpia:

The relic? You didn't find it?

Boorman:

*shakes head*

Scorpia:

And the others? Allagash?

Boorman:

Trolls got him. I only hope he suffered as much as possible before they killed him. Long story.

Scorpia:

And Madmartigan? They got him, too?

Scorpia/Jade mark scene

Scorpia:

Here, by the child's hundredth day, they get seared with it's family's mark, so they remember where they came from. This is my father's mark. The mark of Kael.

Jade:

General Kael.

Scorpia:

You've heard of him? He was the first Bone Reaver. ....

Jade:

My father was a free man, killed by your people.

Scorpia:

He was killed by Madmartigan at the Battle of Nockmaar. Your mother was killed by the rangers that kidnapped you and took you to Tir Asleen. ......

Jade:

Kael served Bavmorda. Bavmorda served the Crone.

Scorpia:

Bavmorda made a pact with the slaves of Galladoorn. She'd help them overthrow their masters in exchange for their loyalty. People do whatever's necessary to be free.

(After Nockmaar fell)

Those who survived, fled. The armies of Tir Asleen and Galladoorn, they persued us. They feared us. As they should.

*****

Ep6: Prisoners of Skellin

Door riddles scene:

Wiggleheim:

So I pass from sire to heir, and each of brothers takes his share. A gift or curse I may be, used by others more than thee. (A: Name)

Beggars have what wise men crave, but both shall take it to their grave. (A: Nothing)

*****

Ep7: Beyond the Shattered Sea

Dinner scene:

Kit:

What are you doing out here all alone?

Zeb:

Uh, well, I was a warrior. Paladin of Cashmere.

One of three sent to rescue the princess who was taken by servants of a dark power and whom I loved, though she was betrothed to...

-This one was to find an enchanted pool, that granted whosoever drank of its water...

-Years, wandering the Shattered Sea. Our boots rotting, our swords rusting in their scabbards. Till we forgot who we were, what we were searching for. And in the end, turned on each other. Murdered each other.

Kit:

What's beyond the Shattered Sea?

Zeb:

Some say that, uh, eventually you reach the edge of the world and get swept off. Others speak of a leviathan, so monstrous that even to see it is to lose your mind.

2nd Airk/Crone (aka "Lili") scene:

Crone:

I think, maybe, I know why we're here. How much do you know about Cashmere?

Airk:

Just what everybody knows. The Paladin Circle, Ivory Tower, streets lined with moonstones.

Crone:

It's very beautiful. High walls that keep us safe, isolated. There are rules, and so long as you follow them, you'll never want for anything. Except...

There were rumours of a secret sect that worshipped some sort of ancient blood magic, called The Order of the Wyrm. Their acts of sedition were small, at first. Desecrations, fires, crimes without culprits, but they'd always leave their mark.

One night, they fought their way into the tower, killing the guards and kidnapping the princess.

Airk:

Why? To what end? To seize power?

Crone:

Maybe. I don't know. I woke up here.

Willow & Kit inside the sled

Kit:

What is the Wyrm?

Willow:

If magic is the bloodstream of the universe, the Wyrm feeds on it. Imprisoned a long time ago beneath the surface of the world, it waits, sleeping.

Kit:

When it wakes up?

Willow:

Stares at Kit, haunted... sounds/echoes of screams leading into a vision of Mims..

Vision:

Mims looking bloodied, pressing her hands to an equally bloodied, wounded Karthy's side.

Da! I really need you right now. I wasn't strong enough to keep him out. Please!

Season Finale

Ep8: Children of the Wyrm

Kit hearing her father's voice

Madmartigan:

Kit... Can you hear me?

Kit:

Dad?

Madmartigan:

I need you to listen. I don't know how much time we've got.

Kit:

Is that really you?

Madmartigan:

I need your help.

Kit:

Are you here? Where are you?

Madmartigan:

I'm with you. Always.

Kit:

You kinda left a while ago.

Madmartigan:

It was the hardest thing I've ever done. But love is sacrifice. You've gotta be willing to give up what you want for what you believe in. It's the only way to save Elora.

Kit:

Dad, I'm not you.

Madmartigan:

Yes, you are.

Kit:

No, really, I'm not.

Madmartigan:

All right, you're not. You're better. You are her shield. You are her sword. And I am already so proud of you. Now go.

****Fin****

Wip will updated. Please lemme know if I forgot something important. 💜😊

The illustration of Salome from Robert E. Howard's tale "A Witch Shall Be Born" | Art by Stephen Fabian

The story is about a witch named Salome who replaces her twin sister Taramis as the queen of Khauran, a city-state in the Hyborian Age. Salome is aided by Constantius, a mercenary leader who becomes her consort. Conan, who was the captain of Taramis’ guard, is captured and crucified by Salome for resisting her coup. He is rescued by a band of desert raiders led by Olgerd Vladislav, who makes him his second-in-command. Conan then plots his revenge against Salome and Constantius, while Taramis suffers in the dungeon.

My note: The story is notable for its scene of Conan’s crucifixion, which was adapted into the 1982 film Conan the Barbarian starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Conan The Destroyer (1984)

THE MOST POWERFUL LEGEND OF ALL IS BACK IN A NEW ADVENTURE.

Conan is commissioned by the evil queen Taramis to safely escort a teen princess and her powerful bodyguard to a far away castle to retrieve the magic Horn of Dagoth. Unknown to Conan, the queen plans to sacrifice the princess when she returns and inherit her kingdom after the bodyguard kills Conan. The queen’s plans fail to take into consideration Conan’s strength and cunning and the abilities of his sidekicks: the eccentric wizard Akiro, the warrior woman Zula, and the inept Malak. Together the hero and his allies must defeat both mortal and supernatural foes in this voyage to sword-and-sorcery land.
