King Arthur of Camelot,
son of Uther Pendragon, is the ruler of all Britain, having defeated
the Saxon invaders and established the legendary Round Table. His court
is the most brilliant in Europe, an outpost of civilization in a dark
world, and all other rulers wish to be like him. He is married
to |
 |
Queen Guinevere of
Cameliard.
Just as Arthur has become the model king, so has his queen become the
model queen, whom all noble ladies wish to imitate, both in her
appearance and in her acts. She loves Arthur dearly, despite his past
relationship with |
 |
Lady
Morgana,
who, unknown to Arthur at the time, was his own blood half-sister.
Their unholy union unfortunately produced Arthur's only child, |
 |
Prince Mordred,
who is, perforce, seen as Arthur’s heir apparent. His
arranged marriage to Lady
Jocelyn of Wales is at the centerpiece of the treaty that
will at last settle Arthur’s rule over that fractious country. |
 |
King Pellinore of
Northumbria
is one of the many lesser kings of Britain who have sworn allegiance to
Arthur. His son, Percival, is a knight in training in Camelot. |
 |
Merlin is
Arthur's chief advisor, and a noted storyteller. |
| Nobility |
 |
Duke Maleagant of Wales,
after many years of struggle against Arthur's rule, has finally
accepted it, on the grounds that Arthur’s son marry his
beloved
sister,
|
 |
Lady Jocelyn,
said to be the only person who can rule her brother. But there is some
question as to whether she will be able to rule Prince Mordred.
