Arthur Pendragon

Lore & Background

The specifics of his final days are shrouded in mystery, with some texts suggesting he vanished into legend rather than dying a mortal death. This ambiguity fuels hope among the people that the King may return during times of crisis, a prophecy often invoked by those seeking to restore order, such as Princess Elizabeth Pendragon. His legacy serves as a moral compass for the current generation of knights and sins alike.

In Their Own Story

Dust motes danced in the shafts of afternoon light within the royal library, illuminating an ancient tome bound in cracked leather. The scholar traced the faded illustration of a crowned figure holding a glowing blade aloft against a darkened sky. Outside, the wind howled through the castle ruins, but here, the silence felt heavy with expectation. He whispered the name to the empty room, wondering if the stone walls remembered the king they once served.

Reader's Guide

Historical records indicate King Arthur unified the warring tribes of Britannia centuries prior to the current timeline. This unification established the political framework that eventually allowed for the creation of the Holy Knights order. Key events shaping politics include his alleged treaty with magical beings, which set a precedent for human-demon relations before they soured into war. Modern factions often cite his name to legitimize claims over sacred artifacts like Excalibur. Unresolved mysteries persist regarding his final resting place and the true location of his sword. Some legends claim he sleeps beneath Avalon, waiting for Britannia's darkest hour. Scholars debate whether he was a mortal man or a spirit manifested through magic.
