Description:
Galtar and the Golden Lance is a 1985 animated fantasy series about the warrior Galtar, who teams up with Princess Goleeta and her younger brother Zorn to defeat the tyrannical ruler Tormack. The group battles Tormack to avenge the deaths of their families and to prevent Tormack from combining the Golden Lance with Goleeta's stolen Sacred Shield to gain ultimate power.
Plot: After Tormack destroys his village and kills his parents, Galtar seeks revenge. He allies with Princess Goleeta, whose parents were also killed by Tormack, and her brother Zorn, who has telekinetic abilities. Their shared goal is to stop Tormack from conquering their world.
The Golden Lance: Galtar obtains the Golden Lance, a magical weapon that can split into two swords, from a hermit. Tormack is desperate to get it because, when combined with Goleeta's Sacred Shield, it would make him invincible.
