We learn quickly that a group of Moon Shadow Elves, including the young Rayla (Paula Burrows), have come to kill King Harrow and his sons as retribution for the death of the dragon king and the destruction of the egg.

The younger prince Ezran is the birth son of King Harrow (Luc Roderique) and the older prince Callum is his step-brother.

Somehow humans use REALLY dark magic to kill the dragon king and destroy his only son’s egg to destroy the titular dragon prince.Ĭut to some time later, where we meet Princes Callum (Jack De Sena) and Ezran (Saha Rojen). Wars break out (I think), and for a while they are quelled by the border’s ultimate guardian, the dragon king Thunder (Insert AC/DC sting here). The elves and other magical creatures live on one side of the border, and humanity lives on the other, with the border being guarded by the dragons. The other two magical races in this world, dragons and elves, are so appalled by this dark magic that they banish all of humanity to the Western side of the continent. The new magic source is extremely powerful, but it feeds on the life force of living creatures to work.

At some point in history (It’s annoyingly unclear) humanity discovered a new source for magic: DARK MAGIC (dun dun DUN!). In this world, there are six sources of magic: the earth, the sky, the sea, the stars, the sun and the moon. The series starts with a somewhat overlong narration of this world’s backstory. Now it is here, and I am going to struggle to talk about it.

With the pedigree of people working on it, its release on Netflix was highly anticipated. In this case, creators from the original Avatar the Last Airbender bring us a new original fantasy series: The Dragon Prince. Continuing its trend of supporting creative talents with visions that mainstream television shows no interest in, Netflix has funded the creation of another original animated series from beloved creators.
