Tears to Tiara

Drwc invades Gael village to sacrifice Riannon for Arawn's revival while Arthur launches rescue

High priest Drwc leads imperial soldiers to invade the Gael village at Erin, discovering only Princess Riannon remains. He dismisses her claim that villagers are hunting and intends to use her as a living sacrifice to revive the demon king Arawn, leveraging her lineage as a descendant of elf king Pwyll to rule the world. After threatening torture, Drwc forces Riannon to cooperate by endangering two captured children. She reveals her true name, allowing him to cast a mind control spell. Meanwhile, warrior Arthur returns from hunting and learns of the abduction. He assembles a small task force to rescue his younger sister at the tomb. Arthur fights through imperial guards to reach the inner sanctum, arriving just as Drwc and his mages complete the ritual. Arawn revives in the form of an albino man and approaches the controlled Riannon.

Arawn rescues Riannon from Drwc, leading to a conflict with Arthur and an alliance with Ogam.

Drwc holds Riannon hostage to stop Arthur, unaware that Arawn has entered her mind to break the spell. Arawn saves Riannon and kills Drwc, but Arthur refuses to trust him and attacks. Riannon stops the fight by wrapping her red scarf around Arawn, selecting him as her husband and chieftain, which angers Arthur. Skeleton warriors appear, forcing the trio to flee. They encounter an elderly wizard named Ogam, who guides them and the remaining task force to safety. Arthur prepares his people for inevitable war after the Divine Empire discovers Drwc’s death. Meanwhile, Gaius, commander of the imperial army, learns of the death and resolves to crush the growing rebellion.
