Graveyard of Stone

> *"This militarized fortress city is a place of beauty and strength unlike any other, it’s beauty shining brightly contrasted by the whole of Asgard since it is followed by magic fueled forest. The city itself is a white stone covered masterpiece, cobbled streets act as its backbone, allowing for troop movements around the city with ease, similar to a grid-style city. Nearly all structures within the city are surrounded by a massive 20ft thick, 60ft high stone wall, making it likely the most enclosed space in all of Asgard. Outside the city lies the aforementioned forest, acting as an oasis at the end of the desert, and the Graveyard of Stone, a massive area of ruined castles and structures, the purpose for which, no one knows."* -The Art of War: Camelot

### City Districts

* ***(N side) Helm district***- Holds the main castle, as well as the Uruk and Round table Knight’s headquarters in the region. Nobles and leaders find themselves here
* ***(Center of the City) Breastplate district***- This is where most crafters and farmers are required to stay, the arms and legs of Asgard’s army are built here.
* ***(S side) Shield district***- Contains most visitor quarters and barracks. Their motto is, “Friends close. Enemies, also close, but keep your friends there too.”
* ***(E side) Blade district***- Houses most temples, and greenery. This area is kept mostly open as it’s meant to be a gathering place for forces when readying to set out. When not in use it makes for a good bit of extra farmland, or space for trade in times of peace.

## History

### Early years/Founding

Camelot was founded when explorers came to the desert and found this glorious island of forested area. Deep within this forested area sat in an area of ruined stone, it was ever-expanding, acting as a great natural barrier to enemies. Buttressed against the mountains laid what is now known as Camelot. It was the most intact ruin, and as such, it became these Ancient Asgardian settler’s home.

### Forming of the Round Table

In the years leading up to this time, Camelot established itself as a major power in the area. When talks of calamity coming down upon mankind approaching, and people escaping on strange floating islands, Camelot saw they needed more order. They formed the Round Table of Knights and began making plans to improve their ruin of a home. Shortly afterward regular attacks of ghost-like warriors began attacking Camelot. This was the first test of The Round Table’s unity and the beginnings of calamity that the Halos were made to escape. The first Camelotian Favored Warblades found themselves as the frontline while Camelot was reinforced.

### The Shield of Asgard

After taking some ancient knowledge from the Graveyard of Stone, they began building the Wall at the End of the World. A massive wall that encompassed a huge area of Camelot’s structure. It took the most vital parts of the City and protected it. The wall was only the beginning, as several ideas laid about in The Graveyard of Stone. Eventually at some point, before the world returned to normalcy, Camelot had become the Fortress city that it is today. Certain families distinguished themselves for finding secrets within this Graveyard, those families would go on to inherit the land they searched for generations and generations. During this time Fortune had established itself, and the two joined forces to ensure each other's survival. This alliance eventually led to the two becoming one country.

### Morgan's Rebellion

Many years of peace and war passed. Camelot was the strongest it had ever been. Trade with Mingyun was booming, recovery of knowledge was steady, the people were happy. This all changed with the disappearance of the last wielder of the holy sword Excalibur. In the absence of a leader, The Round Table was at a loss. All but one of them attempted to draw the sword from its stone. This one that did not attempt so was 4th Seat Morgan Pendragon, sister to Arthur Pendragon. She was denied her chance to draw the sword, having been an outlier in the Round Table for quite a few years at that point. Her ideals and vision were much different from the current Knights, as such, battle erupted. The Seats of the Round drew their swords on each other, many falling. Morgan was ultimately killed in the Battle of Castle Guinnion. Though her seat remains unfiled, some say her sacred sword is haunted by her vengeful spirit to this day.
