The Sword of Aramoon is scheduled to premiere on tvN, TVING, Disney Plus, Hulu and Star Plus on 9 September 2023 at 9:20 pm. Set 8 years after Season 1, The Sword of Aramoon speaks of conflicts which will lead to a great battle on land between Eun Seom and Tagon. Both leaders seek to obtain The Sword of Aramoon Haesulla. Directed by the brilliant Director Kim Kwang Sik, the Saturday-Sunday television series is written by multiple-award winning screen-writing partners, Kim Young Hyun and Park Sang Yeon. The stunning scenes in the Eun Seom (Lee Joon Gi) character teaser is the work of many talented team members including the renowned Choi Chan Min, the Director of Photography / Cinematographer who is assisted by experienced Lighting Director, You Seok Moon. The
12-episode high fantasy-saguek-action tale features thrilling action scenes
involving Lee Joon Gi whose electrifying performance in the teaser must be lauded. The
viewers of The Sword of Aramoon are told that the Master of the Sword is the Chronicler
of the Tale. The person, we are also told, is Eun Seom who details his
exploits, adventures, fights and accomplishments and also those of his twin
brother, Saya.
War has come to Arth. The
first promotional poster of The Sword of Aramoon, which was released not long
ago shows Eun Seom and Tagon confronting each other in the final battle for
supremacy.
 The question on the poster
reads, ‘WHO WILL WIN THE FINAL WAR, WHO WILL TAKE ARTHDAL?’ It is quite obvious that
Tagon is the king of Arthdal and he is defending his kingdom against Eun
Seom. After he killed his father,
he declares that he is a living god, the reincarnation of Aramoon Haesulla.
But, now with the rise of Eun
Seom who seeks to conquer Arthdal and with rebellion brewing within Arthdal,
Tagon has to get legitimacy as king to rule over his own kingdom.
 Eun Seom, the formidable leader
of the Ago Union with brains, brawn and good looks, builds a coalition of 30
tribes in Arth. The athletic warrior, known for his consumate martial skill, is
an accomplished horseman, a skillful archer and expert swordsman. All these
make him an awe-inspiring warrior who appeals to all he leads. He and his army
sweep with hurricane force towards Arthdal. 
It should be exceedingly
clear that Tagon, even if he wins the war, is not taking what is already
his.
It is only logical that Eun
Seom will take Arthdal – he will win the final war and he will conquer
Arthdal and triumph over Tagon and will
be the ruler of the whole of the Arth continent.
That being said, it must be
emphasized that both leaders fight the war on an equal basis. Or, perhaps, as we shall see, the circumstances should tilt in Eun Seom's, not Tagon's, favour.
 THE WRITING ON THE WALL
The winds of change are on
Eun Seom’s side. Tagon is weighed down by many weaknesses and faces many
challenges.
EUN SEOM A LIVING GOD THE REINCARNATION OF INAISHINGI AND THE REINCARNATION OF ARAMOON HAESULLA  Tagon already declared he is
a living god, or the reincarnation of Aramoon Haesulla but Eun Seom challenges
him. Eun Seom, the reincarnation
of Inaishingi, is also a living god. He aims to unmask the great pretender and claims
what is his, the title of Aramoon Haesulla, the god of harmony and unification of Arthdal.
Eun Seom wears confidence
like his crown. He looks dignified and majestic with his bearing and demeanour.
His regal air lends him the stature of a god-king. He is a god to the manner
born. And, he is dressed for the role. His clothes are really
special with their unique design and texture. His sword in its scabbard which
hangs by his waist adds interest to his appearance. In the original image, the
lovely blue tint of Eun Seom’s attire matches the darker blue of his belt. The
brown part of his clothing gives him an added look of masculinity. The enchanting attire and the
colours suit him and make him stand out. He looks kingly and has the
commanding authority of a king - like a heroic fantasy hero or god. An iconic
look.
 
Eun Seom, born on the day of
the Azure Comet, is destined to destroy the old Arthdal and bring about a new
dawn in the ancient land of Arth.
Eun Seom and Saya, his older
twin brother are born from the union of Ragaz, a Neanthal, and Asa Hon, a Saram
or human.
 There is a growing discontent
among the people of Arth as there is a fear that the continent would be overrun
by the Arthdal army led by the power-hungry and war-mongering king and queen. There is a surge in support
for Eun Seom because he is thought to be a living god, the reincarnation of
Inaishingi. He is the only one who has survived Ago’s deadliest waterfall in a
thousand years. The original Inaishingi, who had also survived the waterfall,
is the unifying god of the Ago tribe, the god of the waterfall and god of
justice.
 Eun Seom successfully unites 300,000 people and forms a grand coalition of 30 clans, known as the Ago tribe, under his leadership to challenge Tagon. He is totally geared for war. The people are convinced that
the courageous leader is the
reincarnation of Aramoon Haesulla or Aramoon Haesulla in his Second Coming.
Eun Seom, an Igutu, has
purple blood and eyes that glow purple when agitated. Strangely, it is believed that Aramoon Haesulla is also an Igutu. It is prophesized that the god, Aramoon Haesulla, a god of two voices, will in his Second Coming to Arth, hold an ionicera flower.
The magical Sword of Aramoon is
sent down from heaven for Eun Seom but Tagon tries to wrest it from his grasp.
What Tagon doesn’t know is Magic chooses
who may wield it.
  SAYA AN ENEMY-IN-WAITING
 Saya, who is the twin brother
of Eun Seom, was adopted by Tagon and Taealha but kept in isolation in a tower
named the Fortress of Fire for 20 years. He is an Igutu and so is Tagon. They have purple blood and eyes that glow purple when driven to anger or under duress. The people of Arthdal hate Igutus.
The young man, who has a
grudge against Taealha because she had murdered his beloved servant and lover,
Senaere, seeks vengeance against her. Saya will also hate his
adoptive father, Tagon, if he knew the truth about the king. Tagon was the one
who led Arthdal’s Daekan Force in The Great Hunt that nearly annihillated the
Neanthdals, including his father, Ragaz. The Great Hunt should instead be
called The Great Massacre. Tagon lives in mortal fear that his secrets will be
revealed by Saya. Saya, through years of harsh discipline and unscrupulous brainwashing, might prove to be Machiavellian. The immoral and cruel prince might even fight his twin brother. But, who knows when he might
switch sides and prove to be a destructive force to the Arthdal throne.
TANYA  The people of Arthdal are deeply religious and respect Tanya, the
High Priest of Arthdal, who can cast spells and read the minds of others. Athough the beautiful and peace-loving Tanya is able to
consolidate her position by using the name of god, she is beset with many
worries and is compelled to cooperate with Tagon and Taealha in order to
protect her people, the Wahans. Using the name of god, she exerts a moderating influence on the
tyrannical and ambitious king and queen.
 TAEALHA THE OVERAMBITIOUS QUEEN 
Tagon and Taealha, his queen, are similar. Both are ruthless and would stop at nothing to achieve power. They both killed their own fathers for gain. Lusting
for power, the queen wants to unify the Arth continent and make a name for
herself. The
power-crazy Taealha is the reason for Tagon’s rise but might also be the reason
for his downfall. She
possesses the secret of making bronze. But, the Iron Age has come to Arthdal.
 Yeolson,
the father of Tanya, develops a technique to make steel blades. He is
indispensible to Taealha, who wants to use the latest technology to advance her
ambition.
MUBECK AND THE DAEKAN FORCE  Mubeck, the military stalwart,
had in the past revealed to Tanya that three babies were born at the time of
the Azure Comet. They are The Bell, The Sword and The Mirror who will bring about
a new and better world. She is the Bell, Eun Seom is the Sword and Saya, the Mirror. Mubeck is disappointed in Tagon; he knows the wickness of the king. Tagon had killed Asa Ron without any trial and Harim, the doctor who saved his life. What Mubeck does not know is Tagon kills those who know his secret that he is an igutu with purple blood.
It seems Tagon has to brace
for a revolt of the Daekan Forces under the leadership of Mubeck. He has to starve off their impending coup by going to
war with Eun Seom to legitimize his rule over Arthdal.
 NEANTHALS THE MORTAL ENEMIES OF  During the Great Hunt, a
horrible massacre was carried out by Tagon. Almost all except 5 Neanthdals were exterminated. 4
males and I female (Nunbyeol) barely escaped with their lives. The
extremely strong Neanthdals have blue blood and eyes that glow blue when
agitated. Their signature killing move is to pull out the hearts of their
enemies with their bare hands. The Neanthals would come for
Tagon’s blood. They know that Eun Seom is an Igutu and the son of Ragaz and Asa
Hon and they would surely come to his aid, if necessary.
XABARA AND THE MOMO TRIBE
 Eun Seom had saved Xabara and
her baby in a conflict. Xabara and her army swear to repay his kindness. If Eun
Seom summons them to the battlefield, they would readily lend a hand.
TAGON A TYRANNICAL KING WHO CLAIMS TO BE THE REINCARNATION OF THE GOD ARAMOON HAESULLA (THE GREAT PRETENDER)
The tyrannical king, Tagon is
his own enemy. He is overly greedy for power. 
With his power-hungry queen
to drive him forward, the first king of Arthdal, aspires to rule the continent
of Arth. Tagon, the despot, inspires dread. Compared to the people whom he
rules with an iron hand, he is barbaric. He may sometimes treat his subjects
well but he is barbaric with his enemies. 
Harbouring a terrible secret -
a personal setback, Tagon is forced to kill those who discovers what he staunchly
keeps hidden. He, an igutu with purple blood and eyes that glow purple when
agitated, is Arthdal’s public enemy.
 His claim to be Aramun Haesulla,
a divine status, is endorsed by Tanya, the High Priest and all are expected to
recognise his supreme authority.
DIVINE INTERVENTION
So, all these circumstances will
lead Tagon to ruin. Who knows what might happen? It wouldn’t be surprising if
there is also divine intervention.
