Grail

The **Holy Grail** was a legendary object and according to legend either the Cup of the last supper, a magical dish, the Cauldron of life created by the old pagan Gods, the stone of Wisdom or an unholy jewel from the crown of Satan. The powers of the grail werere said to include the gift of immortality, ever enduring prosperity and fertility , rebirth , never ending happyness, ultimate wisdom and knowledge.

After Merlin had found outnlegends about the grail,he became ultimately possessed of the idea to use it to create an Utopian realm of peace and harmony without wars or hunger, a Paradise on Earth among the living men, a Kingdom ruled by a chosen Philosopher-king.He created Artus after his vision of the ideal ruler and the Round table as a foreshadow of a future world Order.After Merlin's departure he achieved to let a vision of the Grail appear in Camelot after which a number of Knights, the Grail-seekers left Camelot and began to search for the Grail.The Grail-search only weakened the already fragile and damaged Rule of Artus.When the Grail,was finally found it's discoverer became it' s new Keeper and decided to bring it away from Artus, to a far and hidden place ,out of Reach of easily corruptable men.

## Speculation

It is possible that Merlin did not imagine the many objects he had gathered information on as one single object, but that he wanted them to actually create a most-powerful,object:the Holy Grail.Should this be true the Holy Grail was meant to be Merlin's alchemical Opus magnum.As a Magician he may have searched for the Philospher's stone as a technology or key to the future of mankind.For this it may have made sense to collect the most powerful magic and holy objects and melt them into one new all-powerful artifact.

The Grail-finders might finally have found out this truth and the dangers behind merlin's plan.On the other hand by the time the Grail, or rather the Cup of the last supper, was found Merlin had already been magically imprisoned, Gargantua, merlin's Golem had been taken to Avalon by Morgana or destroyed, Artus had become a fallen and maimed King, the queen, embodyment of the souvereignty, had been ravaged and the Lady of the lake, embodyment of the forces of Nature ,who had replaced Merlin as councilor next to Artus' side, had been murdered.The great plan had already been corrupted and damaged beyond repair!

But thinking of it... maybe this all had been the Devil's plan right from the start, when he created Merlin to be the Antichrist, and Merlin, despite all good intentions and free will , never really had the chance to escape his fate?
Northern Suambria

**Northern Suambria** was the region north of the Suambros or Abus Fluvius Estuary.The land was one of several pettykingdoms that were successors of the Kingdom of Parisia, after the Britannic Parisi tribe who once had ruled these lands.Once part of Britannia secunda in Merlins times the land was ruled by a number of Pettykings, at first Anmedocius and his son Oreorl, Saxons, later Ris and Clarion.Another ruler from these lands was Cador.

By 450 AD Angli already had begun to settle the area, main settlements being Cottaingaham, and former roman Rodastan and Langtun.

Nine Sisters

The **Nine Sisters** were an ancient quasi-druidic order of women who had preserved pagan knowledge.Posing as christian monastics to the outside world they in truth still adhered the old Gods, especially Diana whose head priestess the lady of the Lake presided over the order.

The nine sisters were the keepers of the cauldron of the gods and were among the few who knew the secrets of Aballon.

Viviana, Merlin's lost love of his youth had been destined to become one of the nine maidens, later her pupil columbiana followed her into her footsteps as did Merlins own daughter Inogena. Artus halfsister Morigena also was brought up by the order.She later reconciled with Artus and agreed to bring him to Avalon to tend his mortal wounds, removing him from the world of the living.

Later Artus and his knights, including Cei and Peredur fought and largely destroyed the sisters although some including Morigena escaped to Aballon.

She later reconciled with Artus and agreed to bring him to Aballon to tend his mortal wounds, removing him from the world of the living.

Pagan

**Paganus** refers to the pre-christian tribal or regional religions.In Merlin's lifetime Britannia and Gallia were already largely Christian, though among the roman-britannians deviating forms of early christianity and heresies such as Pelagianism were most common, as well there existed many syncretisms with remnants of the old roman imperial cults and regional pre-roman druidic religion of the Galli and Britanni.The Anglo-saxons still were mostly pagan as well as the Picts.The Hibernians and most of the germanic peoples such as the Franks were in the process of being currently converted to Christianity, but still were in large parts pagan.

The Pagans revered many old gods, demons ,ancestral and and spirits of nature, whose existence the Christians did not deny, but which they refused to worship as Gods because they regarded them lesser demons or even fallen Angels.Yet in the 5th century the relation between the old and the new religion was mostly a period of peaceful coexistence

Red Dragon

The **Red Dragon**, "Vroicos" was an ancient spirit, he had once been a lesser God or a powerful giant serving the gods, herding their sacred swine.He had been in deep friendship with another godly swineherd of equal power, but the people of the heavenly tribe taunted both by claiming to each that the other ones power was greater, and they didn't stop until jealousy began to grow and both eventually became enemies.As great magicians and shapeshifters they fought each other in many forms, as Wolves, Birds of prey and finally Dragons who nearly destroyed the lands until two of the gods, the Britannic god Nodens and the gaulish god Lugobelenos filled a mighty cauldron with a magical beer which the dragons could not withstand to drink and which lulled both into deep slumber.The Gods then took the dragons and imprisoned them in a magic pool benaeth mount Erirosia in Cambria.

When King Vortigern wished to built a fortress on Erirosia to defend the country against pictish and hibernian sea-robbers the Foundations always colapsed.Merlin, the boy who had originally been intended as a sacrifice by Vortigern's druids then revealed the two dragon-spirits and told Vortigern that struggle between two great peoples had awakened them, the Red Dragon sided with the Britanni while his enemy and brother had chosen the newly arrived Saxones, and that both Dragons hatred would posses their peoples and drive them into a terrible and deadly war until the one would devour the other, which would not happen til doomsday as their powers still were equal.
Mailodunus

**Mailodunus** son of Riocallis was a man of Cambrian origin.He was a friend of Merlin in his youth and later served Artus Pendragon as a warrior.Hunting in the mountains of Argeistlia on river Sabrina, went insane from eating poisoned apples that had been intended for Merlin. He and Merlin (who had gone insane for other reasons) were both cured at a fountain in the Caledonian forests. Mailodunus then chose to live in Caledonia with Merlin, Taloesus, and Ganieda.

## Names

* Mael son of Roycol
* Maeldinus
* Maeldin
* Mael Duin
Samodunum

**Samodunum** was the capital of Isca Abalon in Summerland.

## Names

* Schanpfanzun
* Parapanisidon

## Location

Originally Parnassus in Cappadocia or a place named Parapamsidon in bactria, Hindukush, might have been intended, but this contradicts Gawains involvement with Gampfassasche and Askalon after his return to Britain.
Rigardwos

**Rigardwos** was a hibernian count who directed Rudiorix and Lamogenus to Northern Suambria where Merlin the fatherless child could be found.

He was a servant of the Hibernian Nobleman Rivobertos and later briefly accompanied Agravain to find Robert's abducted wife.

At the tournament of Winchester he fought Mador of the Gate and later became a follower of Artus who bestowed several Gaulish lands upon him.He was a removed cousin of Artus' and at first fought on his side in the Roman War but later switched sides and supported Lucius. He was the son of Raudolandos and brother of Regiovalos.
El

**El** was a near-eastern deity often interpreted as the highest god or Pan-deity.
He was sometimes equated with Chronos/Saturn, Poseidon, Helios,Apollon,,Mithras,Sol Invictus, Elagabal,Caelus, Uranos, Jupiter Optimus Maximus or even Jahwe-elohim, the God of the Christians and Jews.There was a "Segedh" or "Masgidion",aTemple to El (and other, lesser, deities), in Camelot, possibly founded or maintained by near-eastern or north-african merchants, mercenaries or the descendants of roman legionaires from these lands.

## Notes

* the Cult of El was introduced as a stand-in for Mahmut and Islam, which did not exist yet in the 5th century.It also reflects the existence of near-eastern Pagan-cults in the late roman-empire even along with early Christianity.
Placidus

**Placidus** was a former Druid who had become a christian monastic.He was keeper of the House of St. Peter in Moridunum where he served as the deacon of a community of devout monachoi and Brides of Christ.He became young Merlin's teacher and later the first of his biographers and chroniclers of his visions and prophecies.

## Names

* Bleheris
* Blaes
* Blaise
* Blasius
* Galapas
Moricantus

**Moricantus** was a son of Viriatus, King of Eboracum.He traveled with young , reckless, rogues and adventurers and eventually found himself in the company of Honoria, fallen princess of Siluria who had become a prostitute in Moridunum.After nights of drinking and drugs Moricantus and Honoria's fellows broke into the House in which Honoria's sister Optima lived, planning to become a nun, Moricantus was eventually possessed by Lucifer and raped Optima, who had fled into the woods, making him Merlin's natural father.
Knights

**Knight** refers to a distinct Class in Society usually building it's power on cavalry warfare.Under Rome the "Equites" were *Patricians* who provided Cavalry units, these Equites eventually rose to the second highest class just below the *Senatores* while the well-equipped Riders themselves were called "Miles".Among the *Celts* the "Epenoi" were the warrior-elite who commanded and fought in Cavalry units along with extremely loyal household-warriors.The Germanic tribes knew similar House-hold warriors who were loyal to a distinct Noble Lord or a whole clan.These were calles "cnihtas" or "Radcnihtas" among the Anglosaxons and "Hridras", "Ridars" or "Riteras" among the Franks,Visigoths and other germanic tribes.

In Merlin's lifetime from these ancient warrior-traditions and the Roman-iranian "cataphracti"-Warfare arose a new class of Mounted Warrior-noble which began to develop a distinct mindset, habit and code of honour they would eventually began to think of as "chivalric".However this evolution had just yet started and the Knights of Merlin's time were still quite distinct and more diverse than the Knights of later Ages.Artus' Knights of the Round Table were for the most part either Princes of small tribal Kingdoms or Petty-kings themselves who had formed a fragile Alliance and Council,under a High-King whose true power was more ceremonial rather than being based on lands or men.As representatives of their local Clans they attended at the Council of the Round table and commanded the fast, heavy armed cavalry forces upon whom the military power of the alliance was built upon.

Z-Kommentar

In diesem schmalen Büchlein wollte ich die Sagen aus Merlins Jugend und Kindheit sammeln und neu erzählen.Natürlich ist der Stoff größtenteils nicht neu sondern wurde vor mir bereits von zahlreichen anderen Autoren geschriebennund weiterbearbeitet. Vor allen sind hier die Werke Geoffrey of Monmouths "Vita Merlini" sowie Robert de Borons "Merlin" zu nennen, weiteres aus Merlins jüngeren Jahren entnahm ich William Shakespeare/William Rowleys "The Birth of Merlin, or The Childe Hath Found His Father" , John Drydens "King Arthur; or, the British Worthy" den "Les Croniques Admirables du Puissant Roy Gargantua sowie Tennysons Idyllen, John Toland, John Veitch, Charles Godfrey Leland, George Parker Bidder, und der italienischen Merlin Tradition wie sie von Paolino Pieris "La Storia di Merlino", Bonamente Aliprandi und Manfredo Bonnelli vertreten wurde.Große Hilfe war mir hier das "Arthurian Name dictionary" von Christopher Bruce ohne welches diese Arbeit kaum denkbar gewesen wäre. Viel Freude hat es gemacht die alten Texte zu durchforsten, in eine chronologie zu bringen, zu Ordnen und neuzuerzählen, wobei ich versuchte den spätantiken und frühmittelalterlichen Kontext des "historischen Merlin" wiederherzustellen und gleichzeitig der Magie des "übernatürlichen Merlin" Rechnung zu tragen. Wenn dies nicht immer zur vollsten Zufriedenheit gelang so mag man mir dies bitte verzeihen, zu widersprüchlich war oft die Quellenlage, ebenso wie man mir mögliche Anachronisnen und historische Ungenauigkeiten bitte nachsehen mag.
Viriatus

In the times before Vortigern's rise, **Viriatus** was a humbrian Pettyking, he ruled Eboracum.He was the father of Moricantus and so Merlin's grandfather.

Ships

**Ships** would have been a major means of transport in Merlin's times, the Romano-british probably would have used both, late roman ship types as well as maybe late descendants of gaulish-british ships as well as possibly more archaic smaller boats in more remote areas, but at least the large cities and seafaring Kingdoms such as the Venedotians would have had access to larger vessels, possibly even war-ships, though likely not the large, more sophisticated Byzantine models of the time.

The Picts and Hibernians possibly made use of various "Curragh"- types, though the irish ( and welsh! ) possibly also had access to ships similar to the older gallo-british Venetii -types and the Picts may also already have used crafts of an early "Birlinn"-type akin to the germanic Longboat.

The Anglo-Saxons probably would have used their typical longboat-longship types, though it is possible that the Anglo-saxons also knew a peculiar and uncommon type of two-masted longboat.

Many of artus' battles happened along rivers or near the coast and would probably have been defenses against sea- or river-raids.

Arbanie

**Arbanie** was a minor pictish tribal-realm on the southwestern Coast of Pictland east of the Island Oriande.Oriandes pagan King Madaglan, a remote kinsman of Ginevras invaded Arbanie twice, but was ultimately defeated by a force of Camelot led by Lancelot and an allied army led by Bran of the Isles.

## Geography

Arbanie corresponds to the pictish settlements around Arduaine and loch melfort in scotland.
Tartar

The **Tartars** were a number of non-related, Turk-mongol or iranic tribes which invaded eastern Europa in the late Antique or early medieval times.Among the very diverse tribal Groups associated with the "Tartars" were the Alani, Amazons, Anthrophagi, Arimaspi, Bolgari, Issedones, Grippi, Hunni, Onoguri, Skythi,Thussagetes, Turci and many others.

The term *Tartars* was believed either to be derived from the Greek Tartaros, because the eastern Romans suspected the Tartars to originate in Hell, or "Underworld", or to be rooted in Turk-mongol-iranian "Tatar" for "Armed horse-messenger".

Round table

The **Round Table** or **Tabula** was a the Council of Petty-Kings and Chieftains under Artus' rule.Originally the local Heads of the Civitates or Cities had formed a senate after the roman withdrawal, and elected a ceremonial High-king, reviving a pre-roman britonic tradition.

For a time the senate met at Londinium, until Vortigern moved the capital to Dorohernia.Under Uter Pendragon the Council met at Caerlegion, where he at first built a great council hall and a round table after the example of the Grail Table, later known as the "old table".After Uter's death the Council only met sporadic and was split into warring factions, Viroconium, Dorohernia, Caerventa, Colnecastra, Londinium and Camulodunum competed as capitals, each being the seat of one of the competing regional councils.

After Artus had been able to re-unite a major faction of the Britonic Kings he moved the official capital to Caerlegion until he chose to re-construct a "new table" in Camelot, which was considered neutral ground.

The Tabula actually consisted of three round tables,one for the Elder Councilors, one for the younger Princes who came to Camelot as temporary ambassadors of their clans and one for the actual Petty-Kings or clan-heads if they were present in person.The Tabula was held in Camelot outside the principia in a former roman amphiteatre,re-fitted as assembly building.While about 1600 persons, in theory, could attend the meetings, the council itself was at maximum a group,of 250 members, of which 13 factions were dominant.The High-king ruled as primus-inter-pares acting only as mediator between the rival clans, he himself was expected to stay neutral and he was dependent on the Clans military support.All 13 Great Clans were interested to have one family member as Spokesperson present in Camelot at any time.

Salmantina

**Salmantina** was a town and Diocese in Hispania, part of Lusitania.It was ruled by Queen Bellacana and later Feirefiz,her son by Gahmuret who had married her after he had saved besieged Salmantina from Scoti and Azacheian or Mauretanian enemies led by King Vridebrant, cousin of Belacane's dead husband Isenhart.

Patelamunt was another town in Salmantina and served as the local capital.

Salmantina also was the home of Lahifilirost and Prothizilas

## Geography

Zazamanc corresponds to Salamanca in Spain
Orcades-Clan

The **Orcades** were a britannic-pictish clan which had it's base on the Orcades islands.During Artus' times they had also seized control of Laudonia in northern Goddoddin.

Lod, head of the Orcades-clan, was one of four Brothers who were the sons of former Roman-Briton Warlord Cunomarcus and Nivena, a pictish Queen.

Loth controlled Laudania and the Orcades, while his brother Urien had made himself King of Rheged, the other two half-brothers Leogedan and Angusel were lesser Pettykings of Cameliard in Cambria and Moray in northernmost pictland.While the Brothers sometimes shared common interests and pretended to be one clan, in fact they were often add odds and especially Lot and Urien often acten as open rivals.

Other notable members of the Orcades-clan were Lots five sons Gavan, Gaheris, Gareth and Agravain as well as Mordred, formally son of Lot , in truth illetimite son of Artus.Lots six daughters were Clarissant, Elain, Soredamors, Cundrie, Perferren and Thenew.

Lots Grandsons were Lovel, Florence and Guinglan (by Gavan), Breuno (Perferren and Bugi), Clegis (by Soredamors and Lacus) and Guigenor (Clarissant and Gramoflanz).

Lots wife was Morcades, daughter of Igerna and Gorlois of Tintogel, half-sister to Artus.
Hibernians

The **Hibernians** or **Iuverni** ("Iverioi" to themselves) were the tribes who inhabited the island of Hibernia or Ivernia.They were distantly related to the Britannians and Picts but were generally looked down upon by the britons as uncivilized, savage pagans, while the Hibernians saw the Britanni as softened would-be Romans.There were more than fourty competing, and often warring, hibernian Tribes or clan-kingdoms divided into five major Kingdoms or provinces, consisting of larger tribal alliances led by a High-King.Two sub-groups not easily to distinguish from each other were the "Scoti" and the "Guoideli".The Scoti were generally Raiders,often outlawed from their original clans, but especially they hailed from the northeastern Clans and were possibly more closely related to the Picts than the other Hibernians.About 500 AD a group of Scotians founded a Kingdom known as Dalreuda, largely on the great islands off the pictlandish coasts , but also partially on both sides of the main islands.The Guoideli were for the most part tribes from Hibernias more southern provinces who had settled along the westcoast of Cambria, Dumnonia and Cumbria, a group of tribal Colonies also collectively known as "little or lesser Ireland".

The Hibernians were largely pagan, but in a process of being slowly converting towards Christianity, yet their older tribal druidic-religion was still strong.

Picts

The **Picts** were a loosely knit group of northern Britannian tribes.While technically britanni and closely related to their southern neighbours, they distinguished themselves from the Roman-Britannians of Loegria, Cambria, Dumnonia and Cumbria by never having been actually been part of or integrated to the former roman province of Britannia.They were generally accepted to have been at last partially the descendants of the older Caledonians.Some of their western tribes were related to the northeastern Hibernians.They did not refer usually to themselves as Picts but rather saw themselves as "Qritani" or "Albidosi",that is "old Britannians" or "real Britannians", but mostly they only applied to themselves their local tribal or clan names, as they did not identify as one single or united people, and especially between the "islanders", the "lowlanders" and the "Highlanders" there was little sense of community but quite the opposite, a lot of quarrel and often even open war.

Like the Hibernians were seen as uncivilized savages by the Britons.They were also still Pagans and revered old ancestors, Water- and mountain spirits or demons as gods, they also had preserved the Druidic-religion.Yet in Merlin's lifetime the christianisation and conversion of some of the southernmost Picts had already begun.The Picts were also famous for their artful woad-bodypaintings, tatoos and scarifications, and their woman-warriors, customs which had once also been known among some of the southern Britons and the Hibernians, but had been largely abandoned during roman rule, though even in Merlin's time it did still exist in some more remote and backward regions.

Surlusia

**Surlusia** was a peninsula in northern Cambria.It was cut off east and south from the mainland by the Deva estuary and the Morafon estuary which could only be crossed by two dangerous bridges, the hibernian bridge and the north-cambria bridge.The straits were also known as the Aberuernia.Both bridges were partially submerged by the sea and guarded by great towers.Straits of Surlusia also was the name of one of it's border fortresses.Another of it's towns or duchies was Arbeleta.

Sorlus was originally ruled by King Galoeus, later it was inherited by his son Gloier until it was conquered by King Loholt.

## Location

Sorlus corresponds to the Wirral peninsula.Originally the scilly islands may have been intended.

Rome

**Rome** could refer to the italian city of **Roma**, the western roman empire or **Hesperium Imperium** , the eastern roman or **Rhomaioi empire**, it's capital **Nea Rhome** or Constantinopolis as well as two other places,the pannonian village of Ruma near the roman town Bassianae and the city of Roma Secunda, originally Colonia Augusta Treverorum in Merlin's times probably ruled by rhineish Franks.

It was Roma Secunda which King Artus was about to conquer before he had to return to Britannia, not the italian Roma.

* romans
* romano-british
Loegria

**Loegria** was the ancient name of southern, central and southeastern Britannia.It's northern borders were defined by the Humber and the dense forests of Cumbria, it's western border was defined by the hill-country of Cambria.The southwestern border was somewhat more vague, but it was largely the severn-estuary and dense forests which separated the Dumnonian peninsula from Logres proper.

Ингибитор МиГо

## Описание

Специальный тип нейроимплантов МиГо, разработанный для совместимости с человеческой нервной системой. Задачей ингибитора является предотвращение выдачи носителем информации о МиГо, а также, в определённых модификациях, предотвращение тех физических действий носителя, которые могут нанести урон интересам МиГо. Ингибиторы имплантируются агентам, рабочим и людям претендующим на выполнение первых контрактов, но ещё не ставших членами контрактной сети, дабы предотвратить распространение информации о присутствии МиГо на Земле.

Имплант ингибитор - это молчаливый наблюдатель в мозге носителя. Физически является небольшим нейромассивом в сочетании с неорганическим чипом. В случае, если носитель собирается любым способом выдать секретную информацию или даже близко подходит к этой теме, ингибитор с помощью нервных импульсов вызывает у него тремор, заикания и наконец судороги. В модификации, пресекающей нанесение урона, может вызвать кратковременный паралич. Данный имплант не обладает функциями чтения мыслей, передачи информации или удалённого контроля носителя. Ингибитор занимает один слот имплантации в мозге среднего человека и полностью безопасен для носителя. Как правило ингибитор извлекают при подключении человека в контрактную сеть, так как считается, что с ним установлены доверительные отношения.

## Принцип работы

Ингибитор крайне простое, но хитроумное устройство, позволяющее МиГо обезопасить себя от поведения ненадёжных помощников из числа людей, при этом продолжая пребывать в практически полном невежестве относительно их психологии. Ингибитор не занимается анализом интенций носителя или чтением его мыслей с последующим сравнением по списку "интересов МиГо" и проверкой угроз. Напротив всю "вычислительную" нагрузку о том, является ли действие угрозой МиГо, выполняет мозг носителя. Расчёт строится на том, что люди осознают свои действия и решения, тем самым прекрасно понимая, чем могут нанести вред МиГо, а чем нет. Ингибитор считывает только самые общие показатели и пресекает действие в том случае, если общая картина мозговой активности примерно соответствует подспудному чувству вины, которое накладывается на обобщённый образ МиГо. Данный принцип хорошо отлажен в лабораторных и натурных экспериментах, и прекрасно работает на психически здоровых людях, несмотря на всю грубость и поверхностность. Само собой МиГо не отождествляют неизвестное им человеческое понятие "чувства вины", с тем набором паттернов нейроактивности, которые закладываются в ингибиторы. Теоретически существует возможность обмануть или вообще свести на нет эффективность ингибитора путем полного контроля сознания. Кроме подобного выдающегося умения, надо также знать принцип работы ингибитора.

## Известные носители

Эрих Хоффмайер носил ингибитор во время своих приключений в Тергене. Имплант поставил МиГо по имени Кашур. После выполнения контракта и подключения к контрактной сети, ингибитор был удалён.

Гельмут Гёдер короткое время носил ингибитор с функцией пресечения физического действия.

Также носителями ингибиторов были агенты Шрига: Фарух Надим, Фархад, Газат и Гирей.

Азим

Азим - лихой джигит и налётчик из Тергена, сын криминального главаря Бахтияра. Боец и хитрец с задатками своего отца. Любит коней, собак, быструю технику и кутить в кабаках с приятелями, удачливый грабитель, контрабандист и бабник. Вооружён двумя пистолетами и саблей, отлично ими владеет, имеет десяток таких же сорвиголов, готовых на любые выходки. Восхищается командиром англичан Джеком Черчилем. Заклятый враг Мансура, они не поделили когда-то то ли бабу, то ли коня. Прирежет того, глазом не моргнув. Вообще кого хочешь прирежет, но добродушен. Недолюбливает бабая Дамира, считает, что тот змея и собака. Якшается с английскими офицерами. В сказки про МиГо не особо верит. Кто тронет его отца или коня или женщину - тот его враг на всю жизнь. Считает Масуда своим другом.
Treveria

**Treveria** was, along with Karedonas, one of two mighty kingdoms ruled by King Gediens and besieged by the heathen King Verangoz of Sorboreste.

The Princess of Trefferin, Dulceflur found Artus' nephew Meleranz to avenge Gediens death and free Trefferin.

Treveria and Karedonas capital was Belfortemunt.A neighbouring land was Terrandes with it's capital Terramunt.

See:

* Roma Secunda

## location

Given that the Author of the Meleranz text, der Pleier, probably was austrian and the geography of his work may reflect regions close to salzburg Trefferin may well be the austrian Trieben, based on slavic "Trebiti", Karedonas may be historical Carantania, in arthurian times probably inhabited by romanized celts and a gothic upper class.Sorboreste may refer to west slavic tribes,the "surbi" or "sorabi" the or the sarmatian "Serboi".In the 5th century the region of Carantania endured a shift of population as slavic tribes started to settle in formerly gallo-roman territory.

On the other hand Meleranz is usually referred to as "Meleranz of Frankreich", hinting to a franconian background. Trefferin may well refer to the celtic Treveri and the city of Trier, in arthurian times a frankish sub-realm.Therefore Karedonas and Sorboreste must be places in Germania or Gaul.Meleranz' arthurian court was located in Brittany and Caredonas was a trip of about two weeks on horseback.A time period of 17-18 days to travel from Aremorica to Augusta Treverorum seems reasonable and could probably be made in fourteen days by a hard rider.A trip to Virunum in Noricum however would have taken about a month.

Rationalized Sorboreste could maybe refer to Saravus, modern day Saar, in arthurian days the region was populated by a mix of gallo-roman and frankish populance and was frequently raided by competing frankish pettykings and warlords and even briefly the Hunns.Karedonas then would be a pettykingdom near Trier and Saarland, perhaps a gallo-roman or treverian place such as modern day Kastel-Staadt, though the placename itself might invoke Carrodunum, a celtic placename in Ptolemaios Germania, which has not yet been identified.Belfortemunt means "beautiful strong mountain" which could imply the Schönberg near Trier or a roman castellum such as Bertradaburg.
