+ | ===== The Crux of the World ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | In its prime, before its Fall, Camelot represented the centre of the united kingdoms that made up the known world. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Camelot also demonstrated the prime advancements of the world. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Since the fall, the kingdom has shattered into a hundred quarrelling realms. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Fall of Camelot ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Though Camelot under Arthur was in its prime, every story comes to its end. In the Battle of Camlann, Arthur was defeated by an army of upstart Saxons from the north, betrayed by his close friend Mordred, and mortally wounded. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It is unclear exactly what happened next or why, but several events that followed are common knowledge: | ||
+ | * A dark cloud encapsulated Camelot for months before disappearing. | ||
+ | * The Kingdoms that Arthur had united as Albion no longer had a strong leader to follow and fractured into factions. | ||
+ | * Rumours of Dragons attacking across the world became more frequent, and confirmed Dragon sightings were made across the world. | ||
+ | * Law and order broke down, with each realm enforcing its own law to greater or lesser degrees of success. | ||
+ | * Witches and Sorcerers became increasingly common and their acts increasingly unpredictable - great (and terrible) deeds of magic began to be performed more freely across the world without Merlin there to guide or prevent. | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | ===== The Great Shroud ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Though the dark cloud that enveloped Camelot after the Fall dissipated, the magical effect of it has not. The enchantment on the city, known as the **Great Shroud of Camelot**, prevents all from entering or leaving the city. Arthur' | ||
+ | |||
+ | As of //Tales Untold Chapter Two: The Plot Thickens//, a great magical blow has been struck against the Shroud of Camelot. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As of //Tales Untold Chapter Three: A Twist of Fate//, it is known that the Shroud has been destroyed, though the lasting effects of this are still not fully understood. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== The Knights of the Round Table ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The famed Knights of the Round Table were Arthur' | ||
+ | * Arthur (since the invitation is in the old King's name) | ||
+ | * Guinevere (who is mentioned by name in the invitation) | ||
+ | * Lancelot (the invitation mentions a Tournament, and who else would organise it but Lancelot? | ||
+ | * Merlin (Arthur mentions his Sorceror, that //has// to be Merlin, right?) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Just before the Battle of Camlann, the rest of the Round Table' | ||
+ | * Bors the Younger | ||
+ | * Percival | ||
+ | * Gawain | ||
+ | * Bedivere | ||
+ | * Kay | ||
+ | * Galahad | ||
+ | * Mordred | ||
+ | |||
+ | As of //Tales Untold Chapter Three: A Twist of Fate//, the Knights of Camelot have been free to travel. | ||

+ | ===== The God of Albion ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Before Arthur united the lands under the banner of Albion, religion was a thing of small practice usually influenced by the history of the villages and town's which practiced them. However, with the popularization of King Arthur, the knowledge of his ever lasting quest for the Holy Grail seeped across his Realm and The God of Albion - creator of the Holy Grail - began to be worshiped on a scale never seen before. Said to be a symbol of truth, loyalty and knowledge, people who show devotion through courageous acts, heroic deeds and use of magical sacrifices. | ||
+ | |||
+ | However, as the years drew on the Grail left un-found, many scholars - including Merlin himself - lost faith in the existence of such a cup. With belief on the decline, the fall of Camelot lead to the sanctity and holiness of The God of Albion being called into question. Now, the Realms that follow the old ways are fewer and fewer and it is said that new, more popular religions are popping up in it's stead. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **OC: Please note The God of Albion should always be referred to in the whole. This is not the God of Christianity and should not be referred to as such.** | ||

+ | ===== Artefacts ===== | ||

+ | ==== Excalibur ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Legends tell of Arthur' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== The True Grail ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Long since debunked as make-believe by Merlin and other scholarly Mages, the story of a cup of Pure Magic still excites the imaginations of many across Albion. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== The Oracular Mirror ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | See also [[Conquest]] | ||
+ | |||
+ | Before Camelot, it is said that the world consisted of warring factions that fought tooth and claw for minimal benefit. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Then came Arthur. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Of course, all this changed with the Fall. The Mirror was said to have been broken before the Battle of Camlann, a contributing factor to Arthur' | ||
+ | |||
+ | That is, until Merlin fixed it once more, and invited all leaders of the Hundred Realms to utilise its wisdom: to submit their plans for warfare for the next year to the Mirror and be told the events that will follow - the events that //will come to pass//, so that armed with that knowledge they might return to the kinder warfare of Arthur' | ||
+ | |||
+ | More cautious tellings of the Mirror' | ||
