The story

The short version. Drama, 40 episodes on YourChannel. Kyle, a poor fisherman, faces a devastating fate: unable to pay the exorbitant Magic Tax, his entire family will be reduced to slavery by the lord. In his darkest hour, he rescues the mysterious Mira from the sea.

Tides of the Forgotten runs 40 episodes on YourChannel and reads as a short drama. Kyle, a poor fisherman, faces a devastating fate: unable to pay the exorbitant Magic Tax, his entire family will be reduced to slavery by the lord. In his darkest hour, he rescues the mysterious Mira from the sea. She carries the blood of sea elves and can hear the whispers of the waters.

Guided by Mira, Kyle ventures into the cursed Black Mist Marsh. He emerges unharmed, hauling up rare magical sea creatures and gold from sunken shipwrecks. The brutal Lord Vane sets deadly blockades and sends assassins to hunt them down.

With Mira’s magical warnings, Kyle navigates the treacherous underground crystal rivers lined with hidden reefs and recovers the long-lost Rune Stone of Frigid Frost. Time and again, he shatters the nobles’ schemes. Eventually, Kyle’s rebellion draws the attention of the kingdom’s highest powers. He tears up the noble privilege treaty, builds a commoner workshop for magical seafood, and witnesses Mira awaken the power of the entire ocean beneath the starry sky. A fantasy tale of protection, revenge, and breaking the chains of class oppression!
