-Once a great, wide realm, now a single city shrouded in mystery. Camelot is still known as the home of the once King Arthur, Guinevere and their Knights. For many, it is also a holy place - the final connection of The God of Albion. It is assumed that the Knights still practice this old religion.+After the consequences of the doors to the Hundred Realms being flung open for Behemoth and its Lost Worlds by the construction of seven Gateways, the devotion to Camelot held by Eirik and its people was used to create a Lifeline Hook that purged Behemoth's influence from the lands of Albion. In the aftermath, the joining together of Monarch Eirik and General Morgana Pendragon has seen Camelot's armies once again take to the world to unite it under one banner.

 + 
 +  * Goblins must have some sort of green on them - either in the form of a mask or in the form of face paint. 
 +  * Goblins are very interested in unique and interesting items, anything from shiny rocks to meaningful bundles of sticks. They are not hoarders of gold, but of things they themselves find valuable. 
 +  * Goblins are chaotic but passionate creatures - they will throw themselves into things wholeheartedly despite how good they are at it. 
 +  * Goblin traditions vary wildly, but there is an underlying loyalty to being a Goblin at all times. 
 +  * Goblin names are crude and gutteral sounds, e.g. Grot, Splog, Snot, Squeak 
 + 
 +Goblins are, crucially, **not** to be portrayed as any of the following: 
 + 
 +  * Antisemitic stereotypes 
 +  * Inherently evil 
 +  * Mentally impaired

-**Realm Name:** Rhyfel+Sera is renowned for the wealth that comes from its mines of ores and precious gems. Trading of both raw materials and finished products such as weapons and jewellery make for the bulk of the realm's income and Serians pride themselves in their craftsmanship, the beauty of their land and the devotion to their Gods. The Glamorgans have been Sera's royalty since the birth of the realm, and Queen Niniveh is the first to take the throne as Monarch and High Priestess to the Gods. Serians are fervent worshippers of the Grey Shroud, Bringer of Death, and the Silver Well, Giver of Life, possibly the same being with different aspects, possibly siblings or something else. No one is certain, but it is best to keep them on side either way and present tribute when appropriate. Once a year secretive offerings are also made by those of the royal line, to ensure the realm's wealth, to the Nightbeast, a creature or ancient God who is said to dwell in the depths of the mines. The national colours are: black, silver, brown and red.
  
-**Monarch:** [[Character Information#Queen Arianwen|Queen Arianwen]]+After the Queen took the throne and the title of High Priestess, a dream came to her.  She saw how the Saxon Lands were devoid of true purpose, saw the people crying out for direction, for a firm, magnanimous monarch who would lead them. She woke up filled with purpose and declared it a dream, a vision, sent by the Gods of Sera, demanding their Realm spread their worship and their influence over those lands.  And so the Queen sent both priests of the faith and warriors to escort convoys of food and other useful resources to the villages on the border of the Saxon Lands, then they made their way further into those lands, spreading their beliefs and annexing territory, as well as quelling any attempt to fight their advance, until they had enough support within the land to officialise the take over.

-A wet, misbegotten land of eery marshes and unending mudlands, Svobodaskein has been without formal monarchy or power structure since the collapse of Arthur’s rule. In its place, a tenuous alliance of village elders and local barons seek advice from a mysterious authority dwelling deep within the marshes of Thousand Drownings.
