The King of Briton, Uther Pendragon, is dead. The kingdom he conquered and united is now in disarray. Mordred le Fey, Uther's stepson and Lot, Lord of the Orkney Islands, now war with each other. The lands are ravaged, the people starving and without hope. The only solace the common folk find is in the ways and teachings of the new faith, Christianity. As more and more people accept the dogma of Jesus Christ, the old way has begun to die out. The fey creatures are vanishing, and what little magic there was in the world has begun to wax and wane. Some say that the change is inevitable. Others still say that without the spirits of nature, the land will soon die. The only thing that is known for sure is that Mordred and Lot will turn the land into ash with their war.
But not all is lost.
Every year since Uther's death, a great tournament is held on Easter Sunday. The winner of this tournament is given a chance to pull Uther's sword, Excalibur, from a great stone. With his dying breath, Uther cast the sword into the mighty stone, claiming that only his heir would be able to pull it free. Many have tried, including both Mordred and Lot, but the sword remains.
This year, nearly 18 years after Uther's death, a young boy named Arthur, goes to the tournament as his older brother's squire. Little does he know, that his fate, and that of the realm are to be revealed to him.
------------
This is my newest attempt at this King Arthur RPG idea of mine.
Players can take the roles of either established Knights of the Roundtable or (if you can convince me) original knights. The story will follow the young Arthur, son of Ector and his friends as he learns that he is the son of Uther Pendragon and the rightful king of Briton.
If anyone would like to play a female version of one of the established knights, you are certainly welcome to.
Anyone interested?
