Spoilers ahead
Kull [Kevin Sorbo] fights to earn a place among Valusia’s elite Dragon Legion, but is warned by Thomas Ian Griffith as General Taligaro that, as a barbarian from Atlantis, he will never belong to a noble-blooded crowd. Taligaro then uncovers a shocking truth: the Valusian King Sven-Ole Thorsen Borna has fallen into madness and is slaughtering his own heirs, riding toward Valusia with Kull on his heels. The confrontation that follows ends with Kull mortally wounding Borna, who, with his last breath, names Kull as his successor—a decree that stirs dismay among Taligaro and most of the assembled nobles.
