Synopsis
A powerful ruler from the north, King Ian, is at Camelot negotiating a treaty with Arthur. One of the last holdouts in the region, Ian still believes that might makes right, and gives Arthur one last chance to convince him that the New Order can work.
The banished Baron Duncan Draconarius arrives at Camelot, seeking shelter at the same time. He secretly attempts to see Ian and convince him not to align with Arthur. When Ian's valued aide, Derrik, catches Duncan in the corridor, the frightened Baron, rushing to avoid detection, knocks Derrik over a balustrade.
Even though all signs point to Duncan, there is no real evidence to convict him, and Arthur releases him. Furious that Derrik's murder has gone unpunished, Ian leaves Camelot without a signed treaty.
In a fury, Arthur rides after the Baron to mete out his own personal form of justice, but Valiant, riding after him, convinces him not to go against the principles of Camelot. Duncan finally sees the true value of Camelot and yields to Arthur. Although he will be handed over to Ian, and probably executed, he can no longer fight the ideal that spared him his life.
