Episode 2 – Mandate of Heaven



For over a thousand years, whoever held the Heirloom Seal of the Realm, held the power over the nation of China. The dynastic Emperors used the jade seal to enact the laws that would shape Chinese history for generations–and many died by its decree. Did the Imperial Seal vanish with the dynasties? Was it stolen during revolt? Or does someone–knowingly or unknowingly–have it in their private collection?

Music in this episode comes from several brilliant artists via YouTube, including Derek Fiechter, Teresa Tan, and Jess D.
