Quest for Power

Blood pools beneath the High King's corpse as his own brother clutches the fatal dagger, still warm with betrayal. In ancient Ireland, where oaths were sacred and kinship divine, Ugaine Mor's murder unleashes a tale of passionate love, horrific brutality, savage vengeance, and the terrible price of breaking an unbreakable vow. Some debts can only be paid in fire & blood.

Note: When this episode was recorded, it originally was meant to be for season 6. However, as a result of further research, we decided to start with the Mythological Cycle in Season 6. This is now considered the Irish Kingdoms Pilot Season.
