Season 3, Runaans Plan, and Aaravos Speech! The Dragon Prince Interview with Creators

[@aster8620]

What should fans expect from season three? 1:10 What type of elf are you most excited for us to see next? 2:10 Does Elarion still exist? 3:01 Will there be books for adults as well as kids? 3:50 How is the Xadian government structured? 5:37 Are there elves of mixed lineage? 6:33 Is magic its own force? Or are the primal forces independent of one another? 8:28 Are non-magical species able to evolve into one that can use magic? 10:42 Why do we see more magical creatures in the West but not the East? 11:45 What are your plans for Runaan? 12:16 Is there a story for how Gren became Amaya's translator? 14:29 Do you have any fun facts about Corvus? 15:32 If Soren and Corvus were friends, why did Soren tie him up? 16:17 What is Aaravos' fascination with humans? 17:04 What inspired you to include such diverse characters without limiting them to that identity trait? 19:12 Which character has your favorite design? 24:17 Which character was the first one created for the show? 25:11

[@brittanyboyer3891]

KaijuRizard well the creators already confirmed the existence of primal gems, rare stones that are made up of concentrated primal magic. They also confirmed that Runaans pendant was one of these gems, a so called “moon opal”. So the magic that he used for that “mystica arbora” spell came from the stone itself, not from the crafter.

[@emeraldflask8865]

Since Corvus attacked Claudia, I don't think Soren cares this was a guy he went to camp together with. Corvus stopped Claudia from using the spell to get to Callum and Ezran but he did use some show of force to do it. And if I were Soren I would have knocked him out too had it been someone hurting my sister. I always saw it as an example of Soren being a good brother.

What is deep magic? Is it star magic?

[@ilo3456]

I always love that the show is still a mature enough show for everyone to enjoy. It was the same with Avatar, me and my mum used to watch the show on Nickelodeon back in the day, and I still very much so love the show to this day. I think that the reason I dislike so many new cartoons and shows out there is because they made such great shows of fantastic quality that were speaking about mature topics with great and 3-Dimensional characters who were flawed and really moved me and made me love them as a kid, and many shows are just the same things we have seen a thousand times without any really interesting details or maturity to them, and that is why I just can't get into them as a now adult, they lack that thing to get me invested, I can get invested in the Dragon Prince because we can see characters dealing with grief, love, betrayal, mixed loyalties, abuse, hate, compassion, friendship. I loved the way they handled Soren, because he was just like Zuko he wanted his father's approval and affection but he realised that his dad just was a bad dude and his simple minded nature (and a certain disabling incident) let him reflect about himself, about how he was doing bad things, about how it was his fault people were in danger, that his recklessness was bad, and he was humbled and changed by believing he was no longer able to lead a normal life, and we know that Viren is an abusive father and most likely was an abusive husband too, the way that Claudia clings on to him for love and family to the point she blatantly ignores the fact he is evil, because she is afraid about breaking the family and having to choose between people like when their mother left, it is sad to see Claudia like that because we know she is not inherently a bad person but rather is locked in a belief system that leads her to do bad things because she believes it is right, and Soren was the same except that he was not the prodigal son, he was the idiot, the one their father mocked for not being like him, and disregarded; Soren has a more strict sense of morality that led him to be conflicted about the idea of killing the princes, yet his simple minded approach to life allowed him to reconcile the idea of doing it if he didn't directly killed them and to him this way he would earn his father's approval and love, but he realised that it wasn't right it only took being paralysed to realize it but you know he is not the sharpest tool in the shed; but even he can start to see how much Viren doesn't care about either him or Claudia and only wants to use them as tools for his own goals, and he leaves him to go and join the only people that have treated him like family, the same princes he was before ordered to kill, Callum and Ezran were like his brothers and they treated Soren like a brother too, we know this by the fact that him and Callum often practiced together and got into mischief, and to Soren's good luck Ezran forgave him and treated him like his own person despite the fact that Soren was the one that tried to kill Ezran before, and that they welcomed him to their side with open arms, I think it also helps that Soren was never the plotting sort, he is too straight-forwards to do anything like that, on the other hand Claudia is much more deceitful and smart, so she is the type of person to trick you into doing things. That is only 1 thing in this show I really like and also the animation has gotten smoother and better, and the attention to little details of the character's facial expressions that let us clearly see their emotional state helps to convey more in an image than just what the dialogue shows.

AARAVOS LEGIT HAS A SPEECH RELATING TO THE INDEPENDENT KINDS OF MAGIC FROM THE ORIGINAL SOURCE WAIT WHUT Also... this gives us a lot of.... insight... to him as a character and his motivations for what he does... And let's hope he is more Prometheus and less Lucifer... (esp seeing as Lucifer is, well... real and not exactly a sundae with a cherry on top)

[@joshuahogberg1212]

@OriginalTharios Jesus died to cleanse the whole of mankind of their sin, which had progressed far beyond Adam, Soddom and Gammorah were filled to the brim with irredeemable assholes, same with the victims of the flood, and afterwards made it clear that he would never turn to such methods again aand did it only because the globe had gone completely to hell in a handbasket, and Lucifer was thrown out for directly rebelling against God. Also, bringing pain, trauma, misery and death unto your fellow man is considered "not kissing up to his ass enough"?

[@crimsonking7179]

@OriginalTharios You don't have be a believer but there are many things wrong with your statement. I suggest you reread the bible again and gain a better understanding or don't it's your choice.

[@crimsonking7179]

@OriginalTharios like I said your choice but I disagree

[@princessrobyn8592]

Lucifer was a good guy. He rebelled from a tyrannical overlord for his and the other angel's freedom. Also, the Christian god is just a crappy character. He created people for the sole purpose of kissing his ass and if you don't, eternal hellfire. He decided to drown almost all his supposed children cus he didnt like how they turned out. And dont get me started on how he sent himself to be sacrificed to himself to save us from....himself? Cus that makes sense. The bible is a book written by awful people claiming its the word of god so they could do awful things.

13:05 "He's not FULLY gone." I don't have much hope for Runaan. :( Think of that ritual where Lord Vapetricks invoked those spooky shade moonshadow elves with "Ash of the Fallen" or something. It seems like he cremated the bodies of the moonshadow elves for dark magic, Runaan's included. And them talking about his "fate" makes it seem pretty final-ish. I think at best, he's about as gone as King Harrow. You know, with the bird theory ;)

Theory time: What if the humans could do magic through hard work but discovering dark magic caused them to take a “short cut” and the elves and dragons were mad so they pushed them into the non magical lands and because of that they lost and forgot how to connect to the primal sources Callum is just rediscovering the part of themselves humans lost by not being in Xadia any more

[@aronnemcsik]

What if dark Magic is actually that misterious force all the other magic orginates from and when you use dark magic you basically turn the primoldial beings into their pre magic form. What if humans born with natural connection to dark magic and because of that they can't use other type unless they themsleves separate it into a sub category

All I care about is the released date and the romance with callum. (Been awhile forgot the names) Will he go for the witchgirl who slightly going the wrong path with dark magic. My theory dark magic makes you used life force so if used too much can make you old. Explain the butterfly of life. Or will he go with the elf girl (My ship btw) makes sense with the scene she almost lost him and almost said he love him but didn't lmao Also my theory that if they become a couple and show everyone that it could happen. It might show that war should stop and live for peace. Hope it true btw season 3 would be perfect cuz they will alone just saying :)

But the question would be how exactly he is the 1st one in history. caelum is a fun caracter but he isnt extremely knologeble, to buy the he had the rigth ingredients to forge a arcanum all along, so you had to made him abnormal to it work, ho imo detracts from him. But if is a lost art, then you got the oportunity to tell why its a lost art in the 1st place, and tie it to how humans adopted dark magic as a comon pratice, and a political drama can aways be more fun to wach.
