Awesome / Songs of War

Since this subpage describes very important events throughout Songs of War, there are many Unmarked Spoilers ahead. You have been warned.

The Main Series

Season 1

Episode 1

• From the Prologue:
  • The very sight of the Deathsinger taking on several Ardoni warriors and human soldiers, utilizing the power of the Prime Songs to his maximum ability, and managing to shield himself from the Ender Dragon's breath attack with Prote-sphere.
  • Pythus' Early-Bird Cameo, where he very quickly battles and beheads an Enderknight in Hydraphel, while its Ender Dragon pulls off a Wither's head behind them.
  • The fact that the Deathsinger managed to steamroll to get three Prime Songs, and destroying a good portion of Nestoria, shows just how powerful he really is, without all of the Primes at his disposal. His subsequent alliance with King Chronos also shows the sheer power of the alliance, and how it took the Tidesinger in order to make things equal, proves how strong the team-up truly was.
  • Tidesinger's introduction into the war, where he uses his Aggressium Song (Aggro-beam) in order to slice clean through a group of skeletons with ease, showing how his is just as skilled with the Songs as the Deathsinger was, without the need to wield the Prime Songs.
• Thalleous and Tygren's battle at the peak of Mount Velgrin is the first and one of the best fights in the series, with the two Ardoni showing their proficiency with their respective Greatswords and their Songs.
  • Hawken blocking Tygren's Aggro-sphere from hitting Thalleous, and standing his ground against Tygren. While Tygren did end up killing Hawken, Thalleous was able to escape with news of the Voltaris' return, and was able to prepare for whatever plans that they had in mind.

Episode 2

• From the Dragon Egg heist at the beginning of the episode:
  • Jalkar swiftly taking out any guards that come across his path, with barely a flick of his knife.
  • Grim getting to test out his newly-acquired enchanted iron scythe on some guards that intercept Jalkar, taking them out in around 3 seconds.
  • Just the fact that this was improvised after Grim didn't get the right schematics for the castle, showing how intelligent of a mercenary Jalkar is, especially in situations like this.
• The fact that Senn and Ria are training together behind Osivian's back to become pretty good fighters, foreshadowing their experiences later in the series.

Episode 3

• The Necromancers are introduced in this episode, and they do so by sending an army of undead into the Basalt Mines, leaving only Lucan as the survivor, and making it clear that this attack (as well as the ones to precede this), makes them a very dangerous force against the kingdom of Felden.
• The journey that Thalleous and Senn take to move [what's later revealed to be] the Mobilium Prime Song away from Sendaria, showing incredible views of the landscapes of Ardonia, and giving us a sense of just how large this world really is.
• Just the fact that Lucan was able to escape from the Necromancer attack on the Basalt Mines, losing both a sword and pickaxe in the process, have two arrows embedded in his back, and was able to walk all the way back to Riverstead in one piece. Seriously, this guy is Made of Iron!!!!
• A minor one in the context of the story, but Abbigail and Sam were able to harvest and bale all of the wheat and hay on the farm, which was just a great look at some of the more normal activities of civilian life in Ardonia.

Episode 4

• Mr Finch having the nerves to talk down Jalkar and Grim after they retrieve the Dragon Egg from his house. While it may border on Too Dumb to Live for Mr Finch, it's nonetheless cool to see him get under Jalkar's skin to the point where Jalkar knocks him out for convenience.
• Abbigail defiantly warning Jalkar and Grim to put the Egg down and leave, leading Jalkar to threaten and then fight her just outside the house. Throughout the fight, Jalkar's prowess as a fighter shine clearly as he overpowers Abbigail whilst simply toying with her, before Abbigail successfully catches him off-guard, surprising everyone in the vicinity. Even though Jalkar quickly knocks her out like he just did with Mr Finch, Abbigail proves that she's more than capable of handling herself in a fight.
• Niika quietly ambushing Lucan in his Necromancer trap, showing how much better of a fighter she is than him, and why the Necromancers truly fear.
• Beacons, instead of being objects that simply give a Status Buff to those around it, are used as means of transportation via Teleportation between the capitals of Ardonia, and the transportation of Thalleous and Senn to Crown Peak is simply incredible to witness.
• Abbigail deciding to go after the Dragon Egg and hunt down Jalkar and Grim, recognising the importance of making sure that the Egg is safe after the dream she had at the beginning of the episode.

Episode 5

• The new and improved trap that Lucan and Niika use to lure out a Necromancer:
  • Lucan distracting (and briefly immobilising) the Necromancer long enough for Niika to clear out the undead.
  • Niika confidently knocking down the Necromancer to get questions out of him, and then knocking him out when he refused to talk.
• Abbigail and Sam foiling Jalkar and Grim's attempted horse theft. Abbigail shoots enough arrows at Grim to get him tackled by Sam, stalling them long enough for the horses' owner Darlene to notice the theft, and shooting an arrow into Grim's armour, which he doesn't get out for a while after.

Episode 6

• The Deal for the Dragon Egg in the Tabora Crags:
  • The Reveal that it was the Voltaris who hired Jalkar to get the Egg from Etherea, with Jalkar effortlessly brokering a deal in his favour.
  • We hear and then see why Grim is not to messed with, with Zinaida's second-in-command, Lucidius, knowing his reputation as "The Reaper". Grim then killing the three other Voltaris in the vicinity with relative ease then reinforces this sentiment.
  • Zinaida managing to hold his own against Jalkar for much of their battle, wisely knocking away Jalkar's knife. After he sees he's on the losing side, he activates his Aggressium Song (Aggro-storm), making Jalkar and Grim genuinely afraid for the first time in this whole fight.
  • Jalkar then demonstrates how capable he is with his knife; Using Zinaida's Song against him, he throws his knife into Zinaida's tornado, with the knife spinning in such a way that it stabs Zinaida in the side of the head, killing him. Jalkar is not one to be trifled with.
• The Necrobase:
  • Xaria's Dynamic Entry, stopping the undead in their tracks, and luring them away with his sword and Wither Skeleton Skull, demonstrating how the Necromancers tame the undead, and how dangerous they truly are.
  • The commanding presence of the Necrolord. His silent demeanour, his glowing red eyes, his axe, all themselves a terrifying thing to behold: and this is before he stirs the undead into a frenzy with his Necrostaff, and then glares suspiciously at Lucan. This alone is enough to make anyone not affiliated with this strange being to start running for the hills.
• The Battle of Sendaria at the episode's climax:
  • Thalleous fighting against multiple Voltaris at the same time, showing how skills of a warrior he really is, and why he is a champion of the Sendaris clan, succeeding in killing said Voltaris with his own sword, as well as their own weapons.
  • Timber arriving to save Senn from a particularly threatening Voltaris, kicking the Voltaris hard enough to kill him, and riding to Thalleous' battle.
  • Tygren's villainous boast about the destruction of Osivian's Sendaria home, his presence dominating all of the other Ardoni present. His dialogue with Thalleous during this really shows in detail how dangerous both of them are.
  Tygren: I noticed you moved the Prime Songs. I need them. Can you not see? Look... look what you made me do.
  Thalleous: I have fought against your kind for over two hundred years Tygren. Whatever the Voltaris are planning... I will stop it.
  Tygren: You won't escape this time old man.
  • Thalleous then shows that he still has a trick up his sleeve, activating an Aggressium Song that sends all the nearby Voltaris flying, before killing a survivor with his sword, and using his Mobili-flash to kill another.
  • The final battle between Thalleous and Tygren, the ferocity between the two is immense, with both duelling each other like true warriors, before Thalleous knocks Tygren far enough away so that he can flee.
  • Tygren then uses the spear that Thalleous used to impale a Voltaris, sending it right through Thalleous' chest. Senn's shock, Tygren's smile, and Thalleous' pain are pronounced in high detail. As the remaining Voltaris fire on a fleeing Senn and Timber, Tygren triumphantly walks towards Thalleous' dead body, taking his sword, just as he promised back in their first encounter.

Episode 7

• Xaria the Necromancer at the beginning of the episode proving how dedicated he is to the Necromancer's cause:
  • Upon arriving at the base of Niika's treefort, he forces the disguised Lucan to set it ablaze. When Lucan is exposed, Xaria does the deed himself. Giving an incredible Badass Boast to Lucan as he's about to do it:
  Xaria: You will watch helplessly, as everything you fought for is destroyed and burned. And after we're finished, we will find the Felina... and we will kill her.
  • The fight between Lucan and Xaria is incredible to behold, with the flames quickly engulfing the surrounding jungle, and the two fighting with all they can, until Xaria delivers a Roundhouse Kick to his chest, sending him flying. He then taunts Lucan with what they may do to Niika after they capture her:
  Xaria: Perhaps we'll feed her to the spiders. They have quite the appetite.
• Niika's Dynamic Entry into the battle and what it entails:
  • She kills the Necromancer that accompanied Xaria from the Necrobase with an arrow to the head, before leaping into battle by slicing the heads off of three zombies in one swoop, and then engages Xaria in battle.
  • Niika's fight against Xaria, is far more high-stakes than Lucan's fight against Xaria. The fire is now all around them, and both combatants are equally matched, showing not just how good the two of them are at close-quarters combat, but that the Necromancers are far more prepared for an invasion than anyone previously thought.
• A minor one, but the fact that Timber and Senn kept on riding away from Sendaria throughout the night, without ever stopping, just so that they could find a safe place to find any survivors and get help in general.
• The fight against the Enderman in Tabora Crags.
  • Whilst Jalkar is ultimately defeated, he was able to get a few good hits on the Enderman before it used its Teleport Spam to best him. Something that very few people in this world can do.
  • Grim then gets back at said Enderman (who ambushed him earlier) by activating his enchanted scythe and slicing part of his arm off, causing the Enderman to teleport away in pain.
• The sequence of events that come about as Jalkar and Grim try to get out of the ravine:
  • Abbigail manages to shoot Grim off balance with a well-aimed arrow, knocking him onto a small ledge. Jalkar then abandons him out of frustration, making Grim very angry at Abbigail.
  • Grim then leaps into the water at the bottom of the ravine, and ambushes Abbigail. With Grim being somewhat injured (making the fight fairly even), he's able to get the best of Abbigail and knocks her bow away.
  • Eventually, Grim's anger gets the better of him, and he stabs the water, the enchantment feedback knocking him away. What does Abbigail do? She stares him down, and lowers her bow. She lets Grim know that she could have easily killed him then and there, but she has the morals to carry on with the mission at hand.
    • After this sequence, we see three Endermen, including the one that lost part of his arm to Grim, teleport away, respecting that Abbigail wants to protect the Dragon Egg.

Episode 8

• After Jalkar attempts to stab Igneous (a Magnorite), Igneous then punches Jalkar to a nearby treeline, with Senn and Timber in total shock as to what just happened. Jalkar knowing the danger then just decides to run away from the area.
  • This become a Funny Moment when Igneous attempts to apologise to Jalkar for punching him.
• Kiyoshi's Establishing Character Moment at Fort Zuka: He's sparring against two Human soldiers and a Felina soldier, each with a wooden sword in hand; Kiyoshi has two wooden swords and he proceeds to knock them to the floor within seconds, showing why he is the Captain of the Felden Guard.
• The guardians at the river is an Awesome moment for Igneous and the Guardians. The pull of the guardians' Tractor Beam is shown to be very strong, and Igneous is shown only just be able to hold onto Senn from the Beam of one Guardian, displaying how strong Guardians are in this universe.

Episode 9

• The montage of the Felden fleet setting sail for Mount Tempus to eradicate the Necromancers. The entire army is packing their ships with as many weapons as they can, knowing full well that the Necromancers are not to be messed with. When the fleet finally sets sail, the majestic flagship with the Felden banner and the dolphins in the wake of the ships make the fleet a sight to behold.
• After the Voltaris decimate a village in each one of the Ardoni Territories, Zulius Kaltaris, recalling when Thalleous told him where the Voltaris are hiding, vows to eliminate the Voltaris for what they've done, for good. Despite facing some opposition from Master Siderian of the Mendoris clan, Galadar and Hadion almost immediately join Zulius to exact revenge on the Voltaris. Zulius Kaltaris just organised the first Ardoni war party in centuries, in just a matter of minutes.
• Abbigail killing Jalkar over the death of Sam. After crying over the body of her dog, she steels her nerves, going after Jalkar by firing an arrow directly into his back, before firing another arrow into his chest right after. With Jalkar now at her mercy, she fires a third and final arrow right through his heart at point blanc range, finally killing him. After being beaten up by Jalkar twice in the season, she finally reaches the end of her journey tracking him down. With the death of her beloved dog Sam, this makes it very personal to Abbigail, and goes to show that no bond is stronger than that between a human and their dog.

Episode 10

• The sheer sight of Ataraxia at the beginning of the episode. Whilst the characters (and the viewers) knew they'd be in for a surprise, nobody was expecting Ataraxia to be a city in the sky powered by active redstone. The fact that it has been a successful hidden city for Humans, Felina and Ardoni since the Great War is also an extraordinary feat.
  • The backstory for the city is also incredible: It was founded by Galleous and many others as a refuge for those fleeing the violence of the Great War, and a bastion as a last resort, having never been discovered by the Nether or the Voltaris.
• Senn, Igneous and Galleous quickly and successfully formulating a plan to solve the K'arthen-Cydonia conflict, and bring the kingdoms of Ardonia together. This crosses over into Heartwarming when Igneous says that he wants to go in order to end the oppression of Magnorites across Ardonia, and plays a central role in the events of Season 2.
• The Etherean Dragon Egg hatching in glorius fashion, the first one in over a hundred years, and immediately becoming attatched to Abbigail, setting the stage for the return of the Enderknights.
• The fact that the Necromancers were quickly able to evacuate from their base beneath Mount Tempus (undead and creepers included), outflanking the Felden fleet sent to eradicate them, set Riverstead ablaze and fall back to the tunnels they've dug, shows just how prepared they are in their quest to conquer Felden, and how badass the Necrolord is at leading them.
• Galleous', despite ignoring Thalleous' initial warnings of a war, believed in his brother enough to have a large secret bunker full of weapons in preparation for the return of the Voltaris.
• The Battle atop Mount Velgrin has many, many moments worth mentioning:
  • After the two sides display the force at the scene, a battle of the Songs ensues, where Zulius and two other Ardoni fire off their Aggressium Songs (Aggro-vortex, Aggro-shock and Aggro-shard), which then collide with a random Voltaris' Protisium Song (Prote-barrier). After that, Tygren fires his Aggro-sphere, which is stopped by a random Nestoris' Suppori-kinesis (the display of a Supporium Song up close).
  • The Aggressium Songs used by the random Sendaris and Kaltaris on the ledge above the battlefield, as they deal serious casualties to the Voltaris below, something that forces Tygren to intervene (using Thalleous' Mobili-flash to get up to the ledge). Tygren then quickly takes down the Ardoni on the ledge before returning to the main battle.
  • Tygren and Zulius managing to rake up the largest body counts on their respective sides (Tygren getting at least 5 and Zulius at least 3), before they battle each other in what is a Signature Scene for the first season. Zulius then manages to best Tygren, only stopped from killing him with the portal opening.
  • The fact that Galadar, Hadion and Lucidius surviving the battle as the Badass Normal combatants on their respective sides, when there were some serious disadvantages to them with the Songs from both sides.
• The Reveal of what the obsidian frame on Mount Velgrin really is: A Portal to the Past showing the final battle between the Deathsinger and the Tidesinger, built so that the Deathsinger can return to a weakened Ardonia and finally win. Ingressus Voltaris made sure that the Voltaris had everything prepared for his return, and even though they failed, it is still amazing that he had at least that much foresight.
  • The fight between the two is just incredible to witness. Even though the Deathsinger knows he's lost The Great War, he's still fighting on against the Tidesinger, who's equally determined to bring Ingressus down because of everything he's done to Ardonia.
  • The Songs that the two of them use to get the upper hand over each other:
    • With the Tidesinger holding his own against a Prime Song-charged Deathsinger, using his Mobili-bounce and Aggro-beam to get the better of him. Achillean Nestoris may not have the Prime Songs, but that never meant he was a slouch in combat.
    • The Deathinger using the Prime Songs, particularly the Mobilium and Protisium Prime to his advantage. He even gets to use Supporium Prime to launch Achillean into the air and ram him off the mountain!
  • After ensuring that the portal stripped him of his Songs, Ingressus was more than ready to battle the Ardoni war party alongside the surviving Voltaris, even if he's not that happy over it.
