Come my children to Camelot, the birthplace of chivalry and honor. To Camelot, the graveyard of shattered dreams.
King Arthur has been crowed now for several years, and Camelot is prospering under his rule. Merlin the wise Magician is still the young kings counselor and adviser, but others of his knights are also proving to be indispensable to the monarch.
The round table is flourishing, new knights are clamoring to join every day and the deeds of those knights already excepted just serve to spread the fame of the Knights of the Round Table far over the country. Some of the knights stay closer to Camelot serving the king closely, while others go far afield searching for new challenges to test themselves against. For it is well known that the land is still crawling with the unsavory beasts of lore.
The King is betrothed to Guinevere, the daughter of a close ally and is to be married within the month. Many are shocked at his sudden move, and there is a rumor going about that the lady in question may not approve of this turn of events- but as to the truth of this? only the lady herself knows.
The court is also flourishing and growing at an amazing rate. It has grown from just being a gathering of warriors, to being the birthplace of Camelot's more gentle nature and its culture. The ladies of the court are at the heart of this and strive to create a place of chivalry and gentility amid all the marshal gallantry. The arts and learning for the first time are being encouraged. Learned men and women come from all corners of the kingdoms to the great library, to study and exchange ideas.
All seems peaceful within this flourishing and growing utopia of society, but something is very wrong within. As the renown of Camelot spreads, the enemies of the young king begin to move. The game has changed dramatically, throwing those within off their balance and causing many to rethink their loyalties and pick sides.
To add to the chaos the intrigue in the court has flared up, as shocking and horrible rumors circulate. Are they true or false? No one knows but the damage they cause is felt keenly. Friendships will be broken and loves tested as the strain of looming war threatens like a dark cloud on the horizon...
What will happen to Camelot to the dreams of so many? Will they break apart, like a ship upon the rocks- or stand firm and withstand the storm that is fast approaching?
Only time will tell...
