A Reign of Kings

King Arthur by way of A Game of Thrones

Fantasy

The Old King had nearly achieved his goal, nearly brought the entire realm to heel. And yet, in his hubris and his lust, he was brought short. Uther failed, and fell, and died, and the realm shattered once again.

A quarter century has passed and the uneasy stalemate brought on by Uther’s death is shifting once again. In the West, the heir of the Pendragon, Arthur, has been crowned by the thrice-cursed sorcerer, Merlin. Though still half a boy, lords and ladies have been flocking to his side. In the hard lands of the North, a grim council of war has been formed by the eleven strongest kings and lords seeking to oppose Arthur’s advance. From the East, Morgana le Fay has made pilgrimage to Arthur’s court swearing her undying love and fealty to her half brother. Yet how undying can the fealty be of a woman who has already seen three husbands pass this mortal realm? And what of the deep South, where an exiled king from the Sunlit Lands has landed? Will they be friend or foe? In recent years the fae courts of the MISTY ISLE have left the world of man to their own devices, but as the balance of power shifts, perhaps Summer or Winter may sense a chance to reign eternal.

Westernesse is a land of deeply divided loyalties and great opportunity. What will you make of it?
