You find yourself in the midst of the Arthurian legend. The Saxon invasion has been repulsed, and King Arthur quests with his Knights of the Round Table to retrieve the Holy Grail. Ruling in his place from the throne of Camelot, the sovereign king’s trusted friend, Sir Lancelot, works to stabilize Arthur’s claim across the realm, and defend it from the pockets of dissention and foreign resistance that still hide throughout the land.

Yet, the challenges faced by Sir Lancelot, and Arthur’s other sworn knights, will pale to the evil to come. For on the mysterious island of Avalon, a shocking discovery is found; one that will threaten not only King Arthur, but every free citizen of Britain…

Your characters are to be knights in the service of King Arthur, based in the lands around Camelot. While the Knights of the Round Table are off questing with their liege, it has fallen to you to defend the land, and pursue Arthur’s vision of a free and united Britain—regardless of where that evil rears its head.

Will your character be from a long established noble house? Or perhaps a newly knighted warrior who won his title through valor during the Saxon invasion? Whatever your knights’ history, the fate of the realm will fall upon their shoulders.

[P.S.-Both Male and Female knights are welcome and encouraged!]


Now…will you pledge your sword?

Really though, the style of this brief introduction hits so many of my favourite notes, themes and tones, not to mention the setting, it's almost unreal. I'm very much interested.

Bumping because I'm very eager and it's awkward to bump one's own thread.

I'd love to join this but for now I'll just settle to read along. It's a great setting and I believe it has lots of potential to make a memorable story.

@Amongheroes Not sure if you remember, but we wrote together before :)
It was a long time ago, before the guild went down. That roleplay is my favorite one to this day.

@AmongHeroes

Out of curiosity, how do you wish to define a Knight in this setting? Will it be based firmly within the scope of legends and fairy tales, where only the Brave, the Just, the Noble, and the Honorable are granted such titles? A world where the morally good are rewarded through their deeds of courage and determination with such titles - as well as proving themselves physically and / or mentally? Or is it more grounded in reality where titles such as Knight can be bought and sold between the people, one that strikes less of an Arthurian legend and more of a historical overview of Feudal politics? I fully expect the Arthurian method to be the one used in the end but I figured it would be an interesting question to get out of the way, since it can influence character creation quite a bit.

@AmongHeroes
Can I ask for an E.T.A. on the OOC? Tomorrow, next day, day after that?

I'd also like to second @FellowFromNod's question though it'll probably be answered in the OOC.

A Few Notes

[x] First of all, sorry I've been off, and not very responsive of late. I seem to have a curse that whenever I try and get something underway on here, the cosmos aligns to increase my workload. At any rate, I still want to move forward with the RP, it just might take me a bit longer than I expected. Hopefully I'll have the OOC ready by this next Saturday.

[x] To answer the questions of @Roosan and @FluffyOne, the creation of your knights will be covered in detail in the OOC, but overall, I'd like the feel of the story to be more aligned to the legendary, chivalric ideals associated with the tales of King Arthur. This will definitely not be an RP rooted deeply in real history.

[x] Lastly, thank you all again for your interest in this. I hope to see many of you (eventually) in the OOC!
