0:02
understand the shield isn't an
0:06
object It's the bloodline
0:12
remember the shield was meant to
0:16
resist Not enemies not
0:26
cowardice Palamedes understood that
0:30
Nothing I've seen here reminds me of
0:33
him Nothing resembles the kingdom we
0:48
man nor of leading his people
0:55
I tried to build something
0:58
lasting something that wouldn't depend
1:02
survive I distributed power tied it to
1:06
oaths not blood gave regions autonomy
1:11
left behind symbols to bind them But
1:17
far that's not a kingdom
1:23
theater People playing at being lords
1:27
and commanders taking on roles they
1:33
understand All I've seen here is
1:37
fear Indecisive men wearing the mask of
1:41
power But their power comes from symbols
1:47
understand And when a decision needs to
1:50
be made they hesitate When danger
1:55
flinch Denhon commander of Camelot's
1:59
forces is incapable of acting without
2:03
orders Evane a descendant of
2:07
Palamedes yet too weak to stand against
2:11
choices that harm his
2:13
people Their fear breeds
2:17
indecision If you cannot choose you
2:31
rots It was you the men here responded
2:34
to and you who rekindled it You did all
2:39
the work Turned the situation into
2:44
exploit Without that Kuan would still be
2:51
miracle That's why I have to come back
2:56
Without us without hands that act this
3:06
rots Merlin wanted me to become a
3:10
symbol But I realized that one person
3:14
one myth won't be enough
3:18
This kingdom needed more It needed to
3:27
so I left mmentotos behind to serve as
3:31
cornerstones for various facets of the
3:35
kingdom It seems we were both wrong
3:48
complex but that is precisely the burden
3:52
leader Complexity does not excuse
3:56
paralysis and yet they sit in deadlock
3:59
doing nothing while the world around
4:06
Turn every resource toward understanding
4:09
why the weirdness is returning and
4:12
stopping it Hiding in Camelot is
4:21
stupidity But what I would do doesn't
4:24
matter This is precisely why Palamedes
4:27
was made Avalon's shield to judge for
4:30
himself what serves the
4:33
people even if it meant standing against
4:42
me We gave our people peace but they've
4:46
come to take it for granted Perhaps
4:49
those who live without struggle grow
4:52
soft and in comfort they let go of their
4:58
symbols without the will to uphold them
5:07
ornament I named his bloodline the
5:09
shield of Konach and granted them
5:12
dominion over this men here with full
5:16
autonomy The land here is among the
5:20
Avalon This place was meant to stand as
5:23
a counterweight to Camelot's rising
5:31
friend they still call me the once and
5:36
king Still hold feasts in my
5:40
name Feasts won't save them but action
5:45
might We've wasted enough
5:48
time Let's move to the fourlorn swords
5:57
whole It's the last hope for this
6:00
wretched kingdom of ruin
