These labourers fulfill their obligations to the Lord with labour time or in-kind produce when things were getting started, and later by cash payment as commercial activity increased.
Dragonlord

> There were once men who could talk to the Dragons, tame them.
>
> Gaius

**Dragonlords** are men who are able to speak to and tame their spiritual brothers, the Dragons. This is an innate, hereditary ability passed down the parental line.

## Overview

Dragonlords were almost entirely wiped out during the Great Purge; only one survived.

Near the end of the Great Purge, Uther convinced Balinor to summon the Great Dragon to Camelot so he could make peace with it. He betrayed him, however, and imprisoned Kilgharrah in a cavern beneath the citadel. He then proceeded to round up and slaughter the remaining Dragonlords, as he believed that their abilities were too close to magic.

Aided by Gaius, Camelot's court physician, Balinor escaped the genocide of his people and sought refuge in the village of Ealdor. He stayed with Hunith, a friend of Gaius's with whom he fell in love, but was forced to leave her when Uther discovered his whereabouts and sent men to capture him.
Neustria

**Neustria** is a territory in Francia that is currently ruled by the current King of the Franks, King Chlothar.

Soissons is the capital of Neustria, but Paris in Neustria is the capital of the whole Kingdom of the Franks.

## History

The predecessor to Neustria was a Roman rump state, the Kingdom of Soissons. In 486 its ruler, Syagrius, lost the Battle of Soissons to the Frankish king Clovis I and the domain was thereafter under the control of the Franks.

The name *Neustria* is mostly explained as "new western land". *Neustria* contrasts with the name *Austrasia* "eastern realm".
Wyverns

> Wyverns. Distant cousins of the dragon. They're creatures of magic, so be careful.
>
> Sir Gwaine

 **Wyverns** are creatures of magic that inhabit the land of Albion.

## Overview

Wyverns are distant cousins of the Dragons. They are known to live in Elmet, specifically the Grail Castle. They are drawn to places with old magic.

## Characteristics

Similar in appearance to dragons, wyverns are slightly larger than the average human with horns, dark scales, and birdlike red eyes. They are capable of fast flight and possessed sharp teeth and claws, but can't breathe fire or perform magic.

Though they seem more animal-like than dragons and lacked the ability to speak, wyverns are capable of understanding of dragon language and are subject to a Dragonlord's command.

## Mythology

**Wyverns** are winged, dragon-like creatures in European mythology. They are usually depicted as bipedal with a diamond or arrow-tipped tail, but in some legends are said to have only wings and a serpent's body. Their behaviour is usually unambiguously malicious.

Though they have the same strength and ferocity as dragons, wyverns lack their grace, intelligence, and ability to breathe fire. They are aggressive predators and typically prey on deer, goats, and other such creatures, but will attack anything thought to be a good meal.

Wyverns are often featured in heraldry and represent war, envy, and pestilence. They are seen as signs of strength by those who bear them.

## Trivia

* Wyverns can be commanded by Dragonlords
* A full grown wyvern is roughly the same size as a three-year-old dragon

The allies included Kings Riderch Hael (the Generous) of Strathclyde and Gwallawc Marchawc Trin (the Battle Horseman) of Elmet, as well as Morcant.

The road joins Akeman Street, Stane Street, Watling Street, and Ermine Street at Lundenwic.

## Etymology

Some have suggested that "Akeman" derives from the Anglo-Saxon words for "oak-man". Others have suggested a connection with Bath, which the Anglo-Saxons called *Acemannesceastre* (*Acemannes* apparently being derived from the Roman name Aquae Sulis).

Morgause Garlot

* 2
* 3
* 4

**Morgause** is the eldest daughter of Vivienne, and a skilled warrior, a powerful sorceress and a High Priestess of the Old Religion.

## Biography

### Birth

Morgause is the first-born daughter of Sir Gorlois and Lady Vivienne. Gorlois held a high position in the Court of Camelot as a close friend of Uther Pendragon.

### Early Life

As her parent's first-born daughter Morgause was spoiled with love and attention from her parents. Her mother even more so, in part out of her buried guilt for promising her daughter to take her place without her knowledge from birth. She knew Morgause would never have the choice of the life that she had with Gorlois so from day one she made sure to teach Morgause about the history of their line, their magic and her own potential, so that when the day came she would see it as a right of passage rather than a duty thrust upon her.

### The Great Purge

During the Great Purge, Uther ordered many people to be drowned, including children who had inherited magic from their parents. Morgause, who was born before the event at a time when magic was still allowed in Camelot, had inherited magical powers from her mother Vivienne. She was smuggled out of Camelot as a baby by Gaius, who gave her to the High Priestesses of the Old Religion.

This is because there is a rule that high priestesses aren’t supposed to marry but Vivienne gave up her position as high priestess to marry Gorlois, out of love. However this meant there was one less high priestess and so she promised the others her first born daughter to take her place. However she knew Gorlois would never agree to this so she faked Morgause’s death and had Gaius take her to the high priestesses to be trained in secret. She would visit her as much as she could which is why Morgause knows what her mother was like and how she has her bracelet.

As an extra measure Vivienne tried to get on Uther’s good side so even if Morgause was exposed as a witch, Vivienne could implore him to spare her. This is how eventually Morgana was born, as Uther interpreted Vivienne's actions as attempts to get close to him and she simply went along with it as to back out would have the opposite effect. Morgause would only learn this later in life shortly before her mother's death.

### The Death of her Parents

Seven years later, Uther sent Gorlois into battle and promised him reinforcements. He later failed to send the reinforcements, resulting in Gorlois's death. Before Gorlois's death, Uther promised him that he would look after Morgana and Elaine as well as his wife.

After hearing the news of her husbands death, Vivienne died from heart break. She passed her magic onto Morgause before she did so, completing the High Priestess tradition. This is also the period in which she confessed the truth of Morgana's birth to Morgause.

Gorlois's resting place is near the Darkling Woods just outside the citadel of the palace and is on a hill where a special stone was placed for him. He never knew his eldest daughter lived, nor that his second-born daughter was not in fact his.
York

**York** is the capital of the kingdom of Deria, which is ruled by Soemil of Deira.

## History

**Eboracum** was a fort and later a city in the Roman province of Britannia. In its prime it was the largest town in northern Britain and a provincial capital. The site remained occupied after the decline of the Western Roman Empire and ultimately developed into the present-day city York.

## Etymology

The first known recorded mention of Eboracum by name is dated c.95–104 AD, and is an address containing the genitive form of the settlement's name, *Eburaci*, on a wooden stylus tablet from the Roman fortress of Vindolanda in what is now the modern Northumberland. During the Roman period, the name was written both *Eboracum* and *Eburacum* (in nominative form).

The name *York* is derived from the Brittonic name *Eburākon*, a combination of eburos "yew tree" and a suffix of appurtenance \*-āko(n), meaning "belonging to,” or “place of". Put together, these old words meant "place of the yew trees".

## Научная классификация

### Род

Кошачьи ящеры

**Кошачий ящер** *(каат. lacertta)* - вид разумных прямоходящих рептилий с острова Калорморам. Обладают собственным языком "кааттус", и на нём именуют себя как "лачертта".

## Описание

### Внешность

Самые маленькие представители своего семейства - длина тела достигает от 52 см до 63 см, хвост - 78 см. В основном покрыты короткой шерстью, шея, загривок и кончик хвоста перьями, помогающими парить во время прыжков с дерева на дерево. Их окраска более теплых цветов, чем у других львиных ящеров, чаще с пятнами, но иногда бывают и спиральные узоры с полосками.

Важно отметить - эти существа прямоходящие, но при потребности могут передвигаться на четырёх конечностях. У кошачьих ящеров анатомия, характерная для других львиных ящеров: хорошо развитые задние лапы, длинные и мощные, помогающие сильно оттолкнуться от земли, уши длинные и чувствительные, а тело короткое.

### Характер и поведение

Кошачьи ящеры - разумные существа. Они осторожны и пугливы, но все же довольно хорошие охотники. Вне леса их встретить нельзя - все представители их вида чувствуют себя комфортно в тени и считают себя истинными обитателями джунглей. Трудолюбивы.

**Раздел не заполнен.**

## Обитание

Живут исключительно на острове Калорорам, являясь единственными львиными ящерами на нем. Селятся и на деревьях, и на земле, в самой чаще тропического леса. Избегают излишне жарких мест, прячась в тени.

### Поселения

Основывают поселения лачертта в самых отдаленных местах леса. Их маленькие дома могут висеть на деревьях и часто соединены мостами, а могут стоять на земле между корней.

**Раздел не заполнен.**

### Численность

Лачертта - совсем молодая цивилизация, однако они построили уже много деревень. Кошачьим ящерам почти ничего не угрожает, и вид процветает. Живут во всех четырёх лесах острова, так что это самые численные рептилии на Калорораме.
Romano-Britons

The **Romano-Britons**, also known as **Romano-British** or **Roman-British** are the main group of people who inhabit Albion.

Romano-British culture arose in Albion under the Roman Empire following the Roman conquest in AD 43 and the creation of the province of Britannia. It arose as a fusion of the imported Roman culture with that of the indigenous Britons, a people of Celtic language and custom.

They speak British Latin, Vulgar Latin, Classical Latin, Old English (from the Anglo Saxons), and Common Brittonic.

Christianity came to Albion in the 3rd century, brought over by the Romans. One early figure was Saint Alban, who was martyred near the Roman town of Verulamium, during the reign of Emperor Decius.

   After the Roman departure from Albion, the Romano-British were advised by Emperor Honorius to "look to their own defences".

In the early stages the lowlands and cities had some organisation or "council", but they were divided politically as former soldiers, mercenaries, nobles, officials and farmers declared themselves kings, fighting amongst each other and leaving Britain open to invasion. Two factions emerged: a pro-Roman faction and an independence faction.

The depredations of the Picts from the north and Scotti (Scots) from Éire forced the Romano-Britons to seek help from pagan Germanic tribes of Angles, Saxons and Jutes, who then decided to settle in Britain.
Llangollen

**Llangollen** is a town in Powys, in the kingdom of Camelot.

## History

Saint Collen is the monk who founded Llangollen's church, beside the river. St Collen is said to have arrived in Llangollen by coracle.

The town of Llangollen has quickly developed around St Collen's church.

## Trivia

* Llangollen takes its name from the Welsh llan meaning "a religious settlement" and Saint Collen.
Rheged

**Rheged** is a kingdom that is ruled by King Urien. The capital of Rheged is Cair Ligualid.

Rheged borders Bernicia in the north, Rheged in the west and Deria in the south.

## History

**Rheged** was one of the kingdoms of the *Hen Ogledd* ("Old North"), the Brittonic-speaking region of what is now Northern England and southern Scotland.

## Trivia

* The people here speak Cumbric, a dialect of Common Brittonic that would eventually become it's own language.
	+ Some of the population also speak Old English.
Romans

The **Romans** are a cultural group, variously referred to as an ethnicity **Romans** or a nationality, **Romans** that in classical antiquity, from the 2nd century BC to the 5th century AD, rule the Near East, North Africa, and large parts of Europe through conquests made during the Roman Republic and the later Roman Empire.

The meaning of "Roman" has beem through considerable changes throughout the long history of Roman civilisation as the borders of the Roman state expanded and contracted. At times, different groups within Roman society also have different ideas as to what it meant to be Roman. Aspects such as geography, language, and ethnicity can be seen as important by some, whereas others see Roman citizenship and culture or behaviour as more important.

At the height of the Roman Empire, Roman identity was a collective geopolitical identity, extended to nearly all subjects of the Roman emperors and encompassing vast regional and ethnic diversity.

Towards the end of the 4th century Roman rule in Britain came under increasing pressure from barbarian attacks. There were not enough troops to mount an effective defence. It is unclear how many troops remained or ever returned to Albion after this.

King Uther Pendragon of Camelot is the only Roman king in Albion. He is not an emperor, but his father, uncle and brother were before they died. He has adopted a more Romano-Briton culture than a Roman one, knowing that Roman rule was in the past.
Mercia

**Mercia** is a kingdom that is ruled by Lord Bayard, and his wife Lady Aefentid. The capital of Mercia is Tamworth.

Legorensis

**Legorensis** is a city in the kingdom of Essetir.

Legorensis is on the Fosse Way, and Jarl's Fortress is located on its outskirts.

## History

Legorensis is one of the oldest cities in Albion, with a history going back at least two millennia. The native Iron Age settlement encountered by the Romans at the site seems to have developed in the 2nd or 1st centuries BC.

It is believed that the Romans arrived in the Leicester area around AD 47, during their conquest of southern Britain.

## Etymology

The name of Leicester comes from Old English. It is first recorded in Latinised form in the early ninth century as Legorensis civitatis and in Old English itself in an Anglo-Saxon Chronicle entry for 924 as Ligera ceastre. In the Domesday Book of 1086, it is recorded as Ledecestre.

The first element of the name is the name of a people, the Ligore (whose name appears in Ligera ceastre in the genitive plural form); their name came in turn from the river Ligor, the origin of whose name is uncertain but thought to be from Brittonic.

The second element of the name is the Old English word ceaster ("(Roman) fort, fortification, town", itself borrowed from Latin castrum).

A list of British cities in the ninth-century History of the Britons includes one Cair Lerion; Leicester has been proposed as the place to which this refers.
Vivian Olafsdatter

> She may be beautiful, but she's incredibly rude.
>
> Arthur on Vivian

**Lady Vivian** is the beautiful, but spoiled daughter of King Olaf.

Watling Street

**Watling Street** is one of the main Roman road networks in Albion.

It was a Roman road built in Britain during the first and second centuries AD that linked Dubris (Dover), Rutupiae (Richborough), Lemanis (Lympne), and Regulbium (Reculver) in Kent to the Roman bridge over the Thames at Londinium (London).

The road joins Stane Street, Portway, Akeman Street, and Ermine Street at Lundenwic.

## Etymology

The original Celtic and Roman name for the road is unknown and the Romans may not have viewed it as a single path at all, dividing it amongst two separate itineraries in one 2nd-century list. The modern name instead derives from the Old English '**Wæcelinga Stræt'**, from a time when "street" referred to any paved road and had no particular association with urban thoroughfares.

The '**Waeclingas'** ("people of *Waecla*") were a tribe in the St Albans area in the early medieval period with an early name of the city being "Waetlingacaester", which would translate into modern English as "Watlingchester".

The original Anglo-Saxon name for the section of the route between Canterbury and London was '**Casingc Stræt'** or Key Street, a name still borne by a hamlet on the road near Sittingbourne. This section only later became considered part of Watling Street

Historically the Danish kings had established dominion over the area. Norwegian royal power began to assert itself in Viken with King Olav Haraldsson, mostly due to a sharp weakening of the Danish royal power.

A **Shade** is a resurrected soul pulled from its rest by a necromancer.

The shade possesses its former body and skills and recalls their original name, but it's in essence no more than a mere shadow of their mortal self. A shade is also resistant to attacks by magic.

Upon Gunthamund's death, he was one of only two living grandsons of Genseric, and inherited the throne in accordance with a law enacted by his grandfather, which bestowed the kingship on the eldest male member of a deceased king's family.

Theoderic the Great married his widowed sister Amalafrida to Thrasamund, providing a dowry consisting of the promontory of Lilybaeum in Sicily, and a retinue of a thousand elite troops and five thousand armed retainers. With Amalafrida he has one child, a daughter called Amalaberga.

Despite this alliance, Thrasamund failed to aid Theoderic when the Byzantine Navy ravaged the coast of southern Italy, preventing him from coming to the assistance of King Alaric of the Visigoths in the Battle of Vouillé, which contributed to Alaric's defeat.

>
> Gaius

The **Questing Beast** is a deadly creature with the magic of the Old Religion that inhabits the land of Albion.

It has the strong body of a leopard and the fearsome head of a snake. Its venom is highly poisonous, where one bite means assured death and there is no cure. Only the Old Religion can bring such an injured person back to life, by sacrificing another in their place.

## History

The beast played an important role in the Old Religion as it is regarded as a terrible omen. It has appeared on at least one known occasions - the death of Queen Ygraine which had caused The Great Purge.

## Legends

The Questing Beast, whose more physically descriptive French name is the "Beste Glatissant" or "The Barking Beast," has a leopard body, a serpent head, a lion's hindquarters, and rabbit's feet. A noise like the barking of a hound pack issues from its stomach. The Questing Beast appears in the Arthurian legends as a powerful creature sought after by King Pellinore.

According to Merlin, the beast was born of a woman who tried to seduce her brother but was manipulated by a demon to lie with him and accused her brother of rape. The beast itself is an omen for violence, incest and chaos. The beast appears twice to Arthur; first after he (unwittingly) sleeps with his sister Anna (or Morgan le Fey in later adaptations), and secondly after he has a dream foreseeing the destruction of his kingdom by Mordred.
