This newfound power was gifted to them by the ancient Startouch Elf Aaravos as the start of a millennia long plan to get revenge for his daughter who was executed after unintentionally showing magic to humans.

Together, unaware of Harrow's death, Callum, Rayla, and Ezran undertake the dangerous mission to travel to Xadia and return the egg to its mother, the queen of the dragons, to end the conflict between the humans and elves.

Callum, Rayla, and Ezran successfully reach the Moon Nexus atop the Cursed Caldera on their journey east where the Dragon Prince's egg hatches, and Azymondias "Zym" is born.

Callum, Rayla, Ezran, and the newly hatched Prince Azymondias leave the Cursed Caldera and embark on a journey across the sea towards the border between the human kingdoms and Xadia.

In an attempt to scare the other monarchs into action, Viren, with Aaravos' help, summons elf-like shadow creatures to attack the other kingdoms and the Katolian high council soon arrests him.

Callum, Rayla, and Azymondias successfully reach the border but are confronted by Sol Regem, the blind Archdragon of the Sun, who has a strong hatred for humans which was exacerbated by their use of dark magic.

Callum and Rayla manage to escape from Sol Regem and develop a romantic relationship during their journey to the Storm Spire, the home of Azymondias' mother, Queen Zubeia.

Viren is released from prison and leads the combined human armies across the border whilst continuing to receive aid from the deceitful Aaravos.

Ezran reunites with Callum and Rayla, and together they reach the Storm Spire and ally with Amaya, Janai, and the Sunfire Elf army while Soren, shocked by his father's actions, soon joins them.

Having taken two years to resurrect Viren, albeit only for thirty days, Claudia is convinced by Aaravos that he can permanently extend her father's life if he is freed from his prison.

Callum, now the High Mage of Katolis, and King Ezran reunite with Rayla, who spent two years searching for confirmation of Viren's demise.

Callum, Rayla, Ezran, and Soren begin a new quest to recover key information about Aaravos' prison that was previously divided amongst the Archdragons to prevent his escape.

Together they journey to Umber Tor, home to Rex Igneous, the Archdragon of the Earth, while Viren, Claudia, and her Earthblood Elf boyfriend Terrestrius head there themselves, guided by a homunculus called "The Being" which was created by Aaravos.

Claudia and Terrestrius use the map stolen from Rex Igneous to guide their way towards Aaravos' prison but are slowed down by Viren going into a comatose and later catatonic state after he used dark magic for the first time since his resurrection to escape Umber Tor.

Callum learns that the Novablade, a weapon that can kill Aaravos, is held within the Starscraper along with the rare quasar diamonds, which can be used to free Rayla's loved ones from the cursed coins.

In Amaya's absence, Karim, who had been banished from the Sunfire Elf domain, summons the Bloodmoon Huntress to steal a sacred Sun Seed from Janai, intending to use it to heal Sol Regem's vision and overthrow his sister.

While this effort is thwarted by Amaya on her return, one of Janai's generals betrays her and gives Karim the Sun Seed, as well as an army of defecting Sunfire Elves.

After awakening from his catatonia on the final day of his life, Viren has an epiphany and decides to accept his fate out of remorse for his actions which led Claudia down a dark path.

After deciding to destroy Aaravos' prison for good, Callum and Rayla journey to the Starscraper to seek the wisdom of the Celestial Elves but find it surrounded by a perpetual ice storm.

They discover that while Aaravos' body can be destroyed, his physical form returns when his stars align, meaning that keeping him imprisoned is the only way to stop him.

Karim's advisor Pharos, who had become corrupted by Aaravos, rides Sol Regem to attack Katolis instead, and Soren frees Viren before helping to evacuate the city.

To potentially bring her father back, Aaravos instructs Claudia on how to invert the Moon Nexus to release the spirits of the dead and get his revenge on the world by breaking the cosmic order.

In the aftermath of the battle, the inhabitants of Xadia work together to rebuild the world, beginning with the development of the city Evrkynd and start making preparations for Aaravos' return in seven years time when his stars align.

[14] In July 2020, at the virtual ComicCon@Home panel "Zoom into Xadia", the series was renewed for four additional seasons (seven total) as part of a second saga subtitled Mystery of Aaravos.

[15][16] In July 2024, at San Diego Comic-Con, Ehasz announced that three additional seasons (ten total) as part of a potential third saga were being considered, although they had yet to enter development or be green-lit by Netflix.

"[38] Reviewing the first three episodes, Alex Barasch of Slate was also positive towards the series, saying that despite the "slightly shaky animation and some markedly shakier accents", fans of fantasy or Avatar: The Last Airbender will like it.

[40] Emily Ashby of Common Sense Media described the series as a "captivating fantasy tale" with positive themes and broad appeal.

[47] Despite this statement, in a pre-release review of the season, Michal Schick of Hypable discussed how the show's representation of these characters would likely cause debate, given that they can be viewed as falling under the "Bury your gays" trope.

[45] Similarly, The Mary Sue's Caroline Cao argued that while their depiction adheres to the "bury your gay" trope, there are still positives to be found within these characters.

[55] The fourth season makes the romantic relationship between General Amaya and Queen Janai official in the premiere via engagement, which the former happily accepts.
