Quest for Power is a character-driven storytelling podcast that weaves together entire mythologies, legendary cycles, and real history into one sprawling epic saga, then judges the characters who lived it.
The legendary earn immortality in the Hall of Legends. The forgettable get cast aside as mere NPCs of history. The wretched are burned at the stake, their existence reduced to ashes in the wind.
From the gods and heroes of Irish mythology to the knights of Arthurian legend to the kings and warlords of post-Roman Europe, every story is connected, every character matters, and no one escapes judgment.
S6 E7 The Second Battle of Moytura: Macha, Nuada, & Balor of the Evil Eye (Part II)
This is part two of the saga of The Second Battle of Moytura.
Two prophecies set everything in motion. A Fomorian king seduces a Tuatha Dé princess on a sexy sandy beach and tells her their son will be the most beautiful thing Ireland ever sees.
Meanwhile, a different Fomorian king locks his daughter in a crystal tower because a druid prophesied his grandson would kill him, but prophecy has a twisted way of outsmarting powerful kings.
These two children of prophecy will become foes as they battle on opposite sides of an ancient battle that will end a generational war.

S6 E5 The First Battle of Moytura: Eochaid mac Eirc
The gods are celebrating their king when the lights suddenly die and a seer's voice fills the darkness: take Ireland or fade to nothing beneath forgotten stars. So the Tuatha Dé grab their four most powerful artifacts and sail west wrapped in supernatural mist, carrying a stone that screams under rightful kings, a spear that never misses its target, a sword made of pure light, and a cauldron that brings the dead back to life.
Here's the problem: Ireland already belongs to someone else. The Fir Bolg spent two centuries as slaves in Greece, carrying mountains of soil by hand in leather bags, building fertile land just to get kicked off it again and again by their masters. When they finally snapped, they slaughtered entire Greek towns, stole their ships, and sailed home to claim Ireland for themselves. When Eochaid, son of Eirc becomes their high king, the Fir Bolg are lifted into a new golden age where crops grow perfectly from morning dew alone and his justice is so perfect that lies have no place in his kingdom. Then one night he has a dream that changes everything - black birds rising from the ocean to destroy his people.
