The Dragon Prince is an upcoming series from Wonderstorm, a new TV company helmed by gaming veterans who have worked on large franchises such as League of Legends and Uncharted. Co-written by The Last Airbender head writer Aaron Ehasz, this computer-animated show has an undeniable Avatar influence: The Dragon Prince is divided into “books” that correspond with magic elements, just like Avatar. There’s a lot of action, just like in Avatar. And bizarre magical animals abound, just like in Avatar. One of the main characters is voiced by Jack De Sena, who voices Avatar’s Sokka fame, so every line out of his mouth is a reminder of his previous show. Most importantly, the new show’s myth-building is masterful. The Dragon Prince offers viewers a rich and suggestive world that’s teeming with possibilities about what might be happening beyond the frame.

Wonderstorm takes us to the world of Xadia where nature has created six prime sources of magic: the sun, the moon, the stars, the earth, the sky, and the ocean. A thousand years ago, humans created a new element, dark magic, which feeds off the essence of magical creatures. Dark magic is powerful, but its parasitic nature horrified the elves and dragons of the land who pushed humans into the west of the continent. To defend the border between the magical lands and the human kingdom, a mighty dragon king once stood watch, but humans eventually killed it and its dragon heir. This is where The Dragon Prince begins: tensions between the factions are high, and the world is on the precipice of an all-out war.

All this backstory is explained within the first few minutes of the show so viewers understand the stakes, but, more importantly, to establish the myth. The story revealed in the show’s opening is Xadian history as the average citizen knows it, but as The Dragon Prince progresses, it emerges that — as with the written versus actual histories of most nations — there’s a gap between how the story is officially told and what actually happened. It’s fitting, then, that the main cast is composed of kids who don’t yet fully grasp the politics that torment their parents. The audience starts out as naïve as the unreliable protagonists, which means that when they’re surprised, we’re surprised, too. The constant upending of expectation is one of The Dragon Prince’s biggest delights

The human realm is led by King Harrow, a widowed monarch with two sons, the jovial Callum and jelly-loving Ezran. Even in such a small family unit, there’s friction. We don’t know what happened to their mother, but without her, the boys don’t know how to regard one another. When the elves plan Harrow’s assassination, the drama isn’t fueled by the epic shaping of an as-yet-unknown kingdom and its future, but rather how this set of circumstances influences the characters’ interpersonal relationships. This web of relationships permeates the show’s universe, with related characters having differing or conflicting motivations.

The plight of the elves, for example, is filtered through Reyla, a gifted young woman who belongs to a coven of assassins. The problem is that Reyla, unlike her family, is burdened with a conscience.
