| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to Chronicles, where today we're going to be discussing part two of the |
| 0:22.1 | Niebelungen lead. In part one, as many of you will remember, if you're not jumping into |
| 0:27.7 | part two without watching part one, in which case, go back, do as you're told. We're going to be |
| 0:33.3 | basically discussing the fallout from everything that happened there. Of course, we had the great |
| 0:38.4 | quest, the great warrior, the great king, Siegfried of the Netherlands, Lord of Lenebelungs. He was murdered |
