Willow Storyline
Seers have predicted that the birth of a child will lead to the downfall of the strong Queen Banmorda, who has vowed to destroy the kid. If and when the kid is discovered, her midwife is forced to go with her as well. As a result, she hides the baby on a wooden raft and floats it down the river to safety. Willow Ufgood’s Nelwyn (dwarf) family discovers a Daikin (human) child and decides to raise her as their own.
Willow, however, tells the council about the baby when the canine-like animals attack the Nelwyn community. High Aldwin, the sorcerer, orders Willow to lead a small group of Daikini to the crossroads of Daikini territory, where they will hand over the infant to a trustworthy Daikin. For this reason, he doesn’t trust the thief Madmartigan who he encounters when imprisoned in a cage. His friend persuades him to deliver the baby, though. Elora Dana, the omen’s special baby, is revealed to be Elora Dana by the fairy Cherlindrea.
Elora must be protected and delivered to the witch Fin Raziel, who will raise her, according to her instructions. Also, she hands him a magic wand to send to Fin Raziel. As he sets out on his adventure, Willow is pursued by Queen Bavmorda’s daughter Sorsha and the villainous General Kael, together with Madmartigan and the Brownies Franjean and Rool. The conflict between good and evil is about to commence.

Prisoner Bavmorda gives birth to a kid that, according to an ancient prophecy, would destroy the reign of the evil Queen-sorceress. The midwife protects the kid from Bavmorda’s fury but is forced to throw her cradle into a river by the Hounds of the Queen when they come across her. Willow, a new from the river, discovers the infant and takes her in. Willow begins a long trek to bring the baby back to her people and fulfill the prophecy as the Hounds arrive in the village.
