#pendragons

[the-kingshound]

I wanted to ask more about the lore and world building specifically about the dragons and Pendragon. So I assume that dragons exist but are they alive and how are they connected to the Pendragons? Could you tell us some lore surrounding that?

But of course, my dear anon <3

Dragons do indeed exist in the game universe, you can see that where the wedding took place, the chapel, a place built on the remains of an ancient enormous dragon. Dragons are a specie deeply connected to magic, they are attracted to it and to magic users.

They were for a long time associated with the Pendragons because, contrary to the narrative pushed by Arthur's more recent ancestors, the Pendragons were once a House of mages (just as the Venegard). Dragons were often attracted to their presence and the connection gave the name to the Pendragons.

Then, for reasons that are lost even to Arthur, there was the Purge, where there was a continent-wide hunt not only of mages, but of magic creatures as well: inclucing House mounts and dragons.

There has been no sighting of dragons since then.

The differences between the pendragon siblings in this scene broke me

Morgana got angry when Arthur said she's like uther

While it broke Arthur that that's what she thought of him

Morgana was enjoying the idea that she will kill him

While it broke Arthur's heart when he realised he can actually kill her

THOSE TWO ARE BREAKING ME I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Arthur: So you have magic?

Merlin: Uh… yeah?

Arthur: for how long?

Merlin: Since birth.

Arthur: And you’re a dragon lord?

Merlin: Yeah my father was and it gets passed down.

Arthur: Sounds like royalty.

Merlin: No? I don’t think so.

Arthur: Yes it is, that means you’re a noble, a lord. We can get married now.

Merlin: WHAT???

[yourfavecharacterisqueer]

hypothetical scenario for you all: the real king arthur returns. you meet him and you welcome him into your home. what is the first thing you do with him? keep in mind, this is a man from the 500s (he died in 542), and you are from the 21st century (2024).

"I need to see them suffer" I say about a character who already does nothing but suffer

[merlinemrys]

what i love abt morgana is that she does mean good but she has a cruel streak staining her core. she sees someone she loves suffer and she goes immediately to plan the king's murder 😭

Broke: Merlin is a royalist because he is a class traitor boot licker

Woke: Merlin is a royalist because he was raised a peasant in the sixth century and he has the perspective and values typical of that time period on top of his personal experiences with Arthur to give him faith in the enlightened despotism favored by Catherine the Great and Frederick of Prussia.

Bespoke: Merlin is a royalist because anyone who had to live through both the English Civil War and Voltaire's exile to Britain would come out the other side thinking democracy is stupid.

Transcendent: Merlin is not a royalist. He is the divine right of kings in human form. The avatar of Albion and its magic. He does not believe in kings because of Arthur. He believes in Arthur so Arthur gets to be king.
