[OOC] King Arthur and the Knights of the Roundtable

[wonderlandalli]

Nobodyman these might be useful to you. Just from googling, here are:

Sites within Cornwall from myth:

The general layout of countries in Authurian legend:

or

Lyonesse, where Tristan is from, is a sort of Atlantis of British mythology which sank into the sea. So imagine the peninsula that is Cornwall extending a bit further with the small kingship on its end, a defense against raiders from southern end of the channel (normans/franks,mostly. What we now as France today if I recall correctly.)

Its up to Nobodyman if we want to use these officially.

Excellent! I especially like the second map there. Other than the fact that it doesn't have the Orkney Islands on it (for Syris). But other than that, it looks great.

I want to thank you all again for sticking with this. I know this has been slow going but I really appreciate you all being part of this.

That was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you! And sorry for being so slow, I really don't know when I'll get around to this! X(
And I think it'll be safe to assume that the islands are just "off to the side" of the second map(which I also think is the best one =) )

[Nobodyman123]

I looked on another map and it looks like Orkney is North of Scotland.

[wonderlandalli]

I don't think there's one correct map, hopefully further googling will result in something that covers all the characters' origins. (Lyonesse can always be added with a dot off the coast of Cornwall's peninsula with Photoshop)

The House of Sauvage



Name: Sir Ector of Sauvage
Age: 53
Description: Tall, overweight but very strong
Personality: Stern, reserved and wise
Weapons and equipment: Verris, an ancient but wicked looking two handed axe that Ector wields with great effect. This weapon has been in the Sauvage family for generations.
Backstory: Ector speaks very little about his past, but all that is known for certain is that he was one of King Uther's most loyal knights and served bravely by his side until his lords death nearly 20 years ago. Since then, he has taught both of his sons in the ways of chivalry and knightly combat.




Name: Kay, son of Ector
Age: 19
Description: Tall, Blonde, but strong
Personality: Strong-Willed, Direct, but not that clever
Equipment: (forth coming)
Backstory: The only child of Sir Ector, Kay is a promising knight in training. Unlike Arthur, he is naturally talented in the use of arms, and being bigger and stronger than his younger brother doesn't hurt either. Despite his natural talent, Kay is occasionally lazy and often takes what he has for granted.

I'll try and have a Ector/Kay post up before the end of the night.

[wonderlandalli]

"Excuse me, milady, but where did you get that blade?"

I see what ya did there. Bait taken.

Gah, you know what I did? I mistook some writing while tired and thought that Kay had unhorsed Mordred. Thus her big win betting "against Mordred in favor of Kay" but I'll write it as if Kay simply broke more lances than Mordred.

[wonderlandalli]

btw your pic for Arthur looks at least 25. Just noticed that. I think its the beard, lol! I saw your pic for Kay and was thinking he looked so much younger than the Arthur pic.

[Nobodyman123]

Also, I forgot to mention that we are officially at 10 posts of IC.

[Nobodyman123]

Blegh, lots of dialouge in that last post. I promse things are gonna pick up when I get my next post.

[Syris Adonasium]

Oh, Jagajac! Question for you m'Lady!

How is this physically possible?

Jagajac said Guinevere carries a valuable Hunting Bow she purchased from a notable guild of assassins in Carhaise's black market

Seems a little...fishy to me.

Also, just noticed something. It says (about Ector)

Nobodyman123 said he was one of King Uther's most loyal knights and served bravely by his side until his lords death nearly 20 years ago

But Arthur is only 18. That's a solid two year gap.
Ghost dad?

[Nobodyman123]

Nearly 20 years Syris. Not Exactly.

I'm glad someone caught that ;)

[jagajac]

Fishy how? I just wanted her to have a weapon and knew her daddy would not approve of it. Hence her buying it in secret. Just another testament to her strong willed personality.

[Nobodyman123]

So who wants to meet Arthur and Kay awkwardly in the middle of the night?

[WitchChild]

I am reading the ic extensively and determining my post.

[Syris Adonasium]

Is it alright if I post next? I have an Idea about what I want to do...I'll prolly be posting tomorrow.

[Nobodyman123]

I'll let the two of you hammer that out.
