Parent Guide

Characters are sometimes attacked via magic, elements, or mythical beasts. Characters are sometimes seen sword fighting, preparing to be executed (execution isn't shown on screen) via guillotine, being chained to a device whereby they are 'stoned' with soft vegetables (for humor), or being chased. Characters also are scene training to fight using swords or showing alligence via raising their swords.

Illness, wounding or death is sometimes seen resulting in mild abrasions, warting and abecess, sweating, abnormally blackened veins on white bodies, and corpses.

There is no blood, gaping wounds, or severed body parts showing during battle scenes.

Characters are sometimes thrown in a prison holding cell.

The king is verbally and decisively hostile towards races or classes of people whom he fears or knows wields magical powers, thus displaying a sort of violent prejudice.

Characters are sometimes shown to be in disagreement with each other where they yell or make threats at one another.

A dragon is held captive in a dark, underground area, where one of his legs is always chained.

Scenes Specific to Season 1:

There is a scene where a male character grabs the throat of a female character in a hostile manner and verbally threatens her.

A small boy screams when he hears/feels that his father is being executed in the public square.

A daughter witnesses her father die by magic and then she is subsequently killed via magic, the result being that she shatters and disappears.

During a sword duel, a character that was risen from the dead is seen with black, charred and mangled skin.

A female character is electrocuted via lightening conjured from the sky.

A male character is hit in the chest with a ball of fire and one can see an empty, dark hole and smoke raising from his chest at the center of impact.

After killing a woman (not seen on screen), another character then assumes the identity of the dead woman and uses this false identity to deceive and cause harm upon people she has ill regard for.

Violence is nearly every episode. There is sword fights, fist fights and tipical medievil battles.

A lady is set to be executed. Her head is sliced off - not shown.

Many people die; Many dead bodies are shown, but not briefly.
