We are taken on a side trip of sorts. We meet the characters of Uther and Merlin the magician in guises other than uncaring tyrant and all knowing mage. Uther is given passion and doubt, Merlin, in the character of Uther cousin Prince Myrddin Emrys is an eccentric man with visions and unknown talents.
