Plot Summaries:

SEASON ONE

OVERVIEW

Daughters of Time (written by Adam Farouk), the inaugural series set in the Faerworld Universe, is a fantasy superhero epic chronicling the adventures and coming-of-age of four extraordinary young women, each chosen to assume the mantle of a season's Essence, as members of an alliance of heroic teams known as the Eyrovan Legionarium. Plucked from safe, orderly lives, Gwen, Cameron, Roya, and Anneka soon find themselves on the front lines of cataclysmic events as galactic invaders threaten to destroy time itself in a quest for perfection. Ready or not, these young Avatars must bring to bear all their courage, power, strength, and compassion to become the heroes and leaders Faerworld needs to defeat an enemy unlike any before and save itself from total destruction.

DoT S1E01: PRINCESS

When we first meet the Daughters of Time, one of the eight teams comprising the mighty Legionarium—protectors of the realm of Eyrova, their roles require little more than wrangling rogue warlocks and the occasional goblin. The Avatars Mai Lin, Caela, and Jannica have ample time to train the team’s newbie, Princess Gwendolyn of Caderas. When she’s not excelling on the arodega field or discharging her royal duties, she’s wrestling with the demons of her mysterious past or hanging out with her BFF Anneka. But all too soon, a new and far more dangerous opponent appears who will threaten Faerworld in its entirety, and change the Daughters of Time's story forever.

DoT S1E02: SNOWMAKER

Faerworld: Daughters of Time continues with the introduction of the Snowmaker, a powerful winter goddess of the northern kingdoms, whose rare appearance—once every five hundred years—should be nothing if not cause for joy. Alas, the latest embodiment of winter’s precious gifts is a girl named Roya, a wayward rebel-without-a-cause troublemaker and heir to the Amandine throne who knows nothing of the Daughters of Time and wants only to be left to her own pleasures. But then a mysterious visitor intercedes, showing her visions—corrupt operatives in the highest echelons of Caderasi government conspiring against Princess Gwen, schisms in the Legionarium as a powerful enemy obliterates the Kingdom of Somerisle—and entreats Roya to do her duty and use her powers for good. But will she?

DoT S1E03: CHAMPION

The emergent peril facing Eyrova takes a deadly turn, forcing Gwen to confront her mentor and leader, Spring Avatar Mai Lin. Although Anneka feels betrayed by her friend’s secrets, she helps Gwen complete a critical mission that lands her aboard the skyship Orbus with a reluctant Roya just before their adversary, an individual known as Arcturus, launches a merciless attack. Gwen must make sacrifices to save the ship and her friends by summoning the iron-willed ranger known as Cameron, the Autumn Prime, who may be their only hope for survival.

DoT S1E04: FORGED

Forced to take charge before she feels ready, Gwen leads the Daughters of Time in an epic battle against Arcturus’s aerial strike force, fighting to coalesce a handful of antagonistic misfits into a formidable team through deft diplomacy, sheer nerve, and necessity. Anneka’s promise to take refuge in the mountainous Morundine goes awry, Arcturus recruits an unlikely ally, Piers deals with a heavy dose of survivor guilt, and we learn more of Cameron’s mysterious past.

DoT S1E05: THE WIZARD

When the Daughters of Time rescue Thomas, a young denizen of Glenmarin, from his death sentence by the gnomophobic population of Danaewyth, they discover he’s a wizari - and the key to Grampian’s Grotto and the secret portal they seek. But dangers lurk: a dark creature stalks the grotto with nefarious intent, and the vengeful Volcanite Dagg decimates a densely populated village as agents of villainy assemble with frightful efficiency.

DoT S1E06: INCURVATE

Faerworld: Daughters of Time descends into the Eyrovan netherworld - but surviving the fall is just the beginning. The Incurvate is dark, desolate, and no place for the unprepared. Dogged by unending night, and a quiet that, far from bringing peace and repose, instead unsettles the mind and rattles the will to progress, they are haunted by spectral visitors from a mystical pool who tempt them and send Gwen on a solitary quest that threatens to destroy the team. With Arcturus’s troops advancing, confrontation is not a question of if but when.

DoT S1E07: HOLOWORLD

The Daughters of Time grapple with what happens when you meet your gods and discover who and what they really are. Mindjacked by the deities she’s worshipped all her life, Gwen finds her powers abused in ways that threaten to irreversibly destroy her mind - and her team. Cameron and Anneka wrestle with shocking self-discoveries as they and Roya forge strange new alliances to rescue Gwen, reclaim Holoworld, and expunge the monomaniacal “god” who’s been tinkering with Time - and helping Arcturus. But is it too late?

DoT S1E08: DEMAGOG

The team’s early victories seem pyrrhic, with Piers seemingly deranged and a guilt-ridden Gwen in self-imposed exile. As the team regroups and prepares to leave Holoworld to confront Arcturus, they learn of a dangerous and world-altering weapon that threatens the fabric of reality and could monumentally alter the future of Faerworld. The Daughters of Time must gamble that a former nemesis can be trusted to infiltrate Arcturus’s ranks and help them thwart his evil plan.

DoT S1E09: ASCENSION

Determined to stop Arcturus whatever the cost, the newly accoutred Daughters of Time ascend from Holoworld to the surface world, where the enemy’s armies besiege Eyrova’s beloved cities to steal the three legendary magical stones Arcturus needs for his superweapon. Faced with the secrets of her past, Anneka must make a difficult decision. Gwen is reunited with an old friend and ally, while Roya and Cameron become unlikely protectors for refugee children fleeing the enemy’s firestorms. All is chaos, but one thing is clear: the inevitable showdown is imminent.

DoT S1E10: SHOWDOWN

Arcturus bears down on the Kingdom of Caderas, testing the nerve of King Alejandro and his bulwark of seasoned advisors, fooled into planning a first strike. While Cameron and Roya scour the Marin Delta State for clues and Anneka’s world is turned inside out, only Gwen’s last-minute intervention prevents their total annihilation, as she does the unthinkable, laying down her weapons and riding out to meet Arcturus face to face.
