IDK how much you know about D&D, I just want to put this out there bc it's hilarious to me.
Throughout the whole show, Merlin is called a warlock, and is the only one called that, but there's no explanation given as to why.
In D&D, a warlock gets their power from their patron, sometimes a god. And one of the gods in the D&D pantheon?
Balinor.

what
#idk whether to laugh or scream#my knowledge of d&d is very small but i did know that warlocks are similar to clerics in that they both have patrons (that’s it tho right?)#but i never put much thought into Merlin’s title as warlock lol#and idk what’s more hilarious: bbc unintentionally having Merlin’s dad be his magic patron or bbc intentionally doing so lmao#like if it WAS intentional then it was subtle and prob only an Easter egg for themselves????#wait i lied i think it’s more hilarious for it being unintentional#even funnier if none of them played d&d and searched up Balinor and a definition of warlock and thought ‘yeah I’ll use that’ 😂#But imagine merlin post-series believing that his conversations with his dad is like a ghost thing. Like just him finding the most magic-y#place and communing with the dead and having fun father/son bonding time bc it’s what he deserves BUT NOPE ITS BC HIS DAD IS HIS PATRON LOL#even better: Balinor doesn’t know he also thinks it like a dragonlord thing to have a ghostly connection or some shit#idk this is funny to me#bbc merlin#merlin emrys#just another thing on the list if isleldir to geek about after merlin tells him (i think i spelled his name wrong :( )#asks#merlin#ideas
