This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 18.206.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Hercules and the Lost Kingdom''''' is the second [[television movie]] in the [[Broadcast syndication|syndicated]] fantasy series ''[[Hercules: The Legendary Journeys]]''.

In the film, [[Hercules]] comes to the aid of a young woman who is seeking the lost city of [[Troy]].  Eventually, Hercules leads her to a camp of refugees from the city, which has been taken over by [[Hera]]'s Blue Priests.  Hercules helps the refugees take back the city.

==Plot==
Three [[courier|foot messengers]] are running along the riverside, one of them stops to take a drink from the river. As he stoops down to quench his thirst, a female figure composed of water rises out of the river and pulls him under, drowning him.  While the other two men run on, one man is hit by a boulder and killed, and the remaining man escapes.

Elsewhere, a young woman is collecting flowers when the ground begins to shake.  She flees back to the village to warn them that a [[Giant (mythology)|giant]] is coming.  The giant follows the woman to the village and rips the roof of the [[tavern]].  Hercules presents himself to the giant and the giant challenges Hercules to a fight.  Hercules goes outside and he beats the giant.  As the village celebrates the giant's defeat, the exhausted messenger from earlier in the film arrives in the village, and asks for Hercules' help.  He explains to Hercules that his people have been driven from their city, the lost city of Troy.

[[Zeus]] appears and Hercules asks him if he will help him.  He asks his father how to find Troy and is told that [[Hera]] vanished it, and to find it Hercules must find the one true [[compass]] which will point the way to Troy.  Hercules heads off to find the compass, he finds a tribe of men preparing to [[sacrifice]] a young [[virgin]] woman to their [[water god]].  Hercules saves the girl from being sacrificed, while unknowingly being watched by a mysterious robed figure. The woman tells Hercules that her name is [[Deianira|Deianeira]].  Later in the evening as they camp for the night, Deianeira tells him a story that she is the daughter of a King.  She sees the dark figure and asks who he is and why she is being followed, but the figure does not answer.  Later Hercules and Deianeira arrive at the [[slavery|slave market]] looking for Queen [[Omphale]] of [[Lydia]], the last person to have possessed the compass.  In order to get to see the Queen, Hercules sells himself as a slave, and the Queen buys him.  After spending the night with the Queen Hercules gets the compass, and he and Deianeira continue searching for Troy.  Deianeira gets attacked by some men, but the figure in the dark robe saves her and tells her to follow her destiny.

Hercules and Deianeira head on to Troy, they arrive at the ocean and the figure standing on the cliffs summons a [[sea serpent]] to do Hera's bidding.  It swallows Hercules and Deianeira, but Hercules kills the monster from inside and they are washed up on the shore.  Deianeira sees Troy in the distance and tells Hercules that she now remembers this is where she is from.  Deianeira and Hercules get caught in a trap and taken to the [[Laomedon|king]].  The king is ill and he and his daughter are reunited.  He tells Deianeira that the Cult of the Blue Priests have taken over the city and the people have taken refuge in the woods.  He tells her to rule them well, and then dies.

Hercules tutors the people of Troy and prepares them to battle to take back Troy.  Deianeira realizes that the people cannot beat the Cult of the Blue Priests and goes looking for the Blue Priest.  The people notice that Deianeira is missing and Hercules and the people use a tunnel to get into the city.  As the people fight the cult members Hercules goes looking for Deianeira, he finds her about to be sacrificed to Hera and saves her.  The Blue Priest and Hercules fight and Hercules cuts off the Priest's head.  A huge storm approaches, and Zeus tells Hercules that Hera is coming for Deianeira, Hercules saves her and Hera takes Hercules instead.  As Deianeira is crowned Queen of Troy, Hercules is thrown down from the sky elsewhere.  A man approaches him asking him for help, Hercules agrees and the two men walk off to the next adventure.

==Cast==
* [[Kevin Sorbo]] as [[Hercules]]
* [[Renee O'Connor]] as Deianeira
* [[Anthony Quinn]] as [[Zeus]]
* [[Robert Trebor]] as Waylin
* [[Eric Close]] as Telamon
* [[Elizabeth Hawthorne]] as Queen Omphale
* [[Nathaniel Lees]] as Blue Priest
* [[Onno Boelee]] as Gargan the Giant

==Production==
===Casting===
Waylin ([[Robert Trebor]]) was originally intended to become a recurring character in the television series, but the producers felt that the character runs its course in the movie and had limited potential after, so the character of money-making Salmoneus was created for Trebor instead.

This is [[Renee O'Connor]]'s first appearance in the shared Hercules-[[Xena: Warrior Princess|Xena]] universe

[[Elizabeth Hawthorne]], who played Queen [[Omphale]], went on to play [[Alcmene|Hercules' mother]] in the TV series.

[[Nathaniel Lees]] went on to have numerous different roles in ''[[Hercules: The Legendary Journeys]]'', ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess]]'' and ''[[Young Hercules]]''.

===Characters===
The "Deianeira" character (played by Renee O'Connor) is not the same character as Hercules' future wife Deianeira (portrayed by [[Tawny Kitaen]]) in the succeeding movies/series, also in the mythology the real name of [[Troy|Trojan]] King [[Laomedon]]'s daughter is [[Hesione]].
