Sneak peek for the upcoming public update!

"It's a source of pride for our town," Lot says, speaking entirely for the benefit of his own ego, "to host this Temple, and all its skilled adepts."

Morgana smiles sweetly. It's a bad omen. "Yes, the Temple my mother built. It is a great source of pride for the Le Fay, to have spread the Goddess' faith beyond Avalon." Morgana leans in closer to Raphael and Beatrice, smile turning shrewd as if about to impart some great conspiracy. "Could you believe that it is quite a rarity for my dear husband to visit the Temple? I don't reckon he's stepped foot inside more than once, when it was erected and inaugurated."

"I would have accompanied you," Lot says, "but you only requested Sir Accolon's company."

"Perhaps Sir Accolon was better company," Elaine mutters under her breath, loud enough for you and Gareth and no one else to hear. She eyes the Duke critically, an expression both you and your brother take sharp notice of.

This is simply too good a retort to let pass by in a whisper. You echo Elaine's words for everyone to hear, if only to spite Lot: "Indeed, Sir Accolon is better company."

Sir Accolon: I agreed to kill this guy so that Morgan Le Fay could murder her husband and King Arthur and so I could rule the kingdom, but I didn't know the guy I was killing was YOU, Arthur. Sure I was part of a plot to kill you but I didn't think I'd be the one killing you. Sorry.

Arthur: oh don't worry about it, I forgive you. Since you didn't know.

Le Morte D'Arthur is one of the funniest books I've ever read, but never intentionally.

Court of Morgan La Fey

Have a new chapter up and it's got Maleficent and Morgan La Fey in it. If anyone was waiting for the mentioned trial against Cornelius Fudge then it begins now! Glad I can finally have it up for people to have a look at a Wizard being tried in Avalon when the Laws of Merlin have been ignored and broken for the personal whims of a Minister of Magic.

Knights of Round Table included -

Group one included : 

Sir Accolon of Gaul -- Sir Agravaine -- King Arthur Pendragon -- Sir Mordred — Sir Ectorius -- Sir Caius -- Sir Feirefiz -- King Pellinore -- Sir Aglovale de Galis — Sir Percival -- Sir Galeschin -- Sir Lamorak -- Sir Tor -- Sir Morien — Sir Cador -- Sir Constantine III of Britain.

Group two included :

Sir Calogrenant -- King Urien -- Sir Owain -- Sir Yvain the Bastard & the Adventurous — Sir Bagdemagus -- Sir Maleagant — Sir Bedevere -- Sir Lucan the Butler -- Sir Griflet -- Sir Hector de Maris — Sir Lionel -- Sir Lancelot du Lac -- Sir Galahad

Group three included :  

Sir Bors the Younger -- Sir Elyan the White – Sir Breunor le Noir -- Sir Dinadan — Sir Carados of Scotland -- Sir Esclabor -- Sir Palamedes -- Sir Safir -- Sir Segwarides — Sir Gawain -- Sir Gaheris -- Sir Gingalain, Le Bel Inconnu -- Sir Gareth.  

Group four included :

One day I may get the patience to sketch it up with their names in where they sit. It's more circular in my mind, so the lower half mirrored above around where Morgan La Fey's Throne sits, Maleficent has a seat beside her as the ruler of the Fae in the Fae Realm oc has to travel to during the trial. Gonna be super fun as the trial goes on.

I know in my mutants series trials I've written before have drug on a bit for a few readers but hopefully this dip into another trial won't be as much of a drag and keep up interest. Should be fun to write and for others to read on the other ends of the deal. :)

Sir Accolon...come back Sir Accolon...

[rake-rake]

"Sir Accolon."

It's not a command but a simple name, and yet there's still something to the way it's pronounced, the evidence of a queen even when her kingdom is no more. She speaks his name as to stop him and hold him both, an unspoken command for him to listen thoroughly.

"I am the Queen of faerie Britain, Morgan Le Fae. I am here today in stead of someone else, as to make right on my debt. As gratitude for her assistance, I come before you with an offer. This one time, I shall answer anything you require of me. Nonetheless, only this one time. You are free to accept or decline, as well as take time to think."

[arthurianasuggestion]

I’ve gathered my arthurian shorts that all take place in the same universe in a series on ao3 - a recursive world.

the keeping of falcons - The sun of Camelot’s King has just begun to rise. Lancelot worries. Guinevere notices.

these sainted bones - Lancelot returns to court to find Arthur's duel with Accolon left its mark on the king.

open weaving - One day, the silver knight from Elaine's mirror appears on the grounds of Astolat Castle.

things that number seven - Sir Urry of the Mount, cursed with wounds that will bleed until he finds a righteous knight, does not meet that righteous knight on the road. Instead, he meets Sir Gawain.

along the grain - This is how the Round Table breaks.

They’re loosely written around the consequences of Lancelot’s actions and the toll that being in the hand of fate takes on the knights. Also featuring a healthy dose of stuff I made up - this is my personal take on the Arthurian universe where I pick up bits and bobs that I like an extrapolate a lot between

[ofglories]

Hmm. Sir Accolon, Pretender class servant with a false Excalibur noble phantasm.

[each-uisge-enthusiast]

sometimes when i’m drunk i draw hot people

[rjalker]

When the damsel of the lake beheld Arthur, how full of prowess his body was, and the false treason that was wrought for him to have had him slain, she had great pity that so good a knight and such a man of worship should be destroyed. And at the next stroke Sir Accolon struck him such a stroke, that by the damsel’s enchantment the sword Excalibur fell out of Accolon’s hand to the earth; and therewithal Sir Arthur lightly leapt to it, and got it in his hand,

Okay so her inclusion is definitely helping the story. Now instead of random chance it's doing magic to help. I'm fine with this.

Although it better not just keep happening. They're better still be just random things a luck or skill and she can't just get all the credit.

THE LADY OF THE LAKE.

NOTE : Given the malleable nature of the Lady, I find it more helpful to have a general reference post as opposed to a strict dossier.

As with many figures in and around the mythology of King Arthur and his court, the Lady of the Lake continues to be a woman of mystery, her motivations uncertain and her background debated. To some she is a witch, to some a fae, or just a woman far too sure of herself. She resides in Arthur's court as much as she does without it, appearing at intervals to guide various characters to their fates. Other times she will simply place a test before a knight and leave it to them. She retains neutrality above all, a goddess-like figure, as mischeivous as she is somber, as beautiful as she is dangerous.

I've provided a list of stories I take as canon ( and my particular takes on them ) here, as we all know Arthuriana can get a little wild. Much of this is influenced by Malory's Lady specifically, but inspiration has been drawn from multiple sources. This blog is not overly friendly with BBC Merlin canon, sorry!

FOSTERING OF LANCELOT:ㅤWhether the Lady stole the infant from his mother's arms or answered her cries for help can never really be said - but she plucked the young Lancelot from the battlefield and brought him to live with her in her domain, knowing his destiny to be a great knight.

THE DOLOROUS STROKE:ㅤThough not directly involved, Sir Balin delivers a killing blow to a lady of her court whilst in the presence of King Arthur. It leads her to set up tests for the King and his court that she passes off as mere happenstance.

THE HART, THE BRACHET, THE LADY:ㅤDuring the wedding feast of King Arthur and his lady Guinevere, the Lady appears to the assembled knights chasing a brachet ( a female hunting dog ), which is in turn chasing a white hart. An unknown knight interferes and she begs the king's help. When Arthur does not aid her, she is kidnapped, and thus the quests of Sir Gawain, Sir Tor, and King Pellinore begin to procure the hart, the brachet, and the Lady respectively. Unbeknownst to all, it was orchestrated by the Lady herself.

THE ENTRAPMENT OF MERLIN:ㅤShe entraps Merlin within a stone or a tree, depending on the variation of the story. This was not maliciously done, though few believe that.

ADVISOR TO THE KING:ㅤWith the disappearance of Merlin, the Lady avails herself of the position of the court's resident magician, serving Arthur and his knights in a variety of situations - most notably in a duel against Accolon.

SIR PELLEAS:ㅤThe Lady intervenes to save Sir Pelleas, who lay under enchantment of a sorceress named Ettard. She frees him and in her rescue, becomes . . . a bit taken with him, taking him as her husband and even having a child with him, a boy named Guivret.

LANCELOT & GUINEVERE:ㅤShe supports the affair between the knight and the Queen, even going so far as to aid them on occasion or offer encouragement to both parties.

[sir-borre]

Sagramore: So you're Accolon of Gaul?

Accolon: Yeah.

Sagramore: Are you french?

Accolon: No.

Sagramore: So why do they call you Accolon of Gaul?

Accolon: I don't know.
