Cluso

**Cluso** was a mountain, castle and valley in northeastern Loegria, not far from Camelot, Lis, Aviria, Bearosche and the flowering valley.

It was home to exotic animals such as Babians and Elephants, possibly leftover by the romans.In Artus' times it was ruled by Matur and his Queen Danise.

Ariconium

**Ariconium** was the capitol of Ariconia minor Kingdom in southeastern Cambria on the borders of Loegria.It was often contested between Glevensia and Ventia but all three often found themselves dominated by Larger Pagus or Demetia.

Vortigern's family originally came from Ariconium.

Besides Ariconium itself, Glevum and Venta Silurum were the largest towns in the region, all of them Silurian petty kingdoms.
Bard

In Merlin's time **Bards** were a highly estimated class in society.Although a destinction between free and unfree bards existed they were all usually highly respected and well-to-do men as they were not merely musicians, poets and entertainers but also scholars, messengers, diplomats and historians.Many were even regarded as seers, prophets and magicians.

They were organized in bardic schools which mirrored the druidic brotherhoods and had a very strict system of ranks, grades and titles.While the single wandering bard who travelled the wilderness between faraway settlements was not rare, wealthy and high-ranking bards travelled with entourage and had many followers.They were , like priests, considered sacrosanct and under the protection of the kings and knights.Every higher ranking nobleman sought to have a house-bard at his court and the royal bards at the king's courts were highly influential and wealthy people.

Britannia

**Britannia** referred both to the Island Britannia and to the former roman Province, though the latter was more accurately referred to as the **Britanniae**, as Emperor Septimus Severus had split Britannia into two sub-provinces, *Britannia Superior* and *Britannia Inferior*.Later Diocletian again split the Britanniae into five Dioceses:*Britannia Prima*, *Britannia Secunda*, *Maxima Caesariensis* ,*Flavia Caesariensis* and *Valentia*.

After Rome had recalled it's Legions and gave Britannia to self-government a Senate was formed and for a while the local Civitates continued to rule Britannia as a still formally roman-allied Regnum until inner strife among the Britanni Clans as well as raids and invasions from neighbouring Hibernians,Picts and Anglo-Saxons destabilized the lands.

Post-roman Britannia was divided into four major regions:Loegria, which encompassed most of "Flavia Caesariensis" and the eastern half of "Britannia prima", Dumnonia, which consisted of western "Britannia Prima", Cambria, which was almost identical with "Britannia Secunda", Cumbria and Northumbria, which were roughly equivalent to the eastern and western half of "Maxima Caesariensis" and "southern Valentia".Caledonia and the Northern half of Valentia were considered Pictland, and never fully integrated into the Regnum Britanniae, although a few of it's more southern Petty-kings had joined the Alliance. 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 Britannic Kings he moved the official capital to Caerlegion until he chose to re-construct a "new table" in Camelot, which was considered neutral ground.

All of the Regnum Britanniae's six parts however were not unified under one ruler but again divided into countless small tribal principalities or Petty-kingdoms.The High-King , who was elected by the senate of the Civitates, or later the Tabula, was a rather ceremonial Position and did only wield little actual power other than his own local Civitas.
Flowering valley

The **flowering** or **blossoming valley** was a fertile region of valleys and hills in southwestern Loegria.It was ruled by the Dobunni King Mandogran, later by his son Garel.The royal seat was at a lake island at Flowering Valley Castle.

## location

The flowering valley corresponds roughly to the cotswolds.Flowering valley Island castle is set in Cotswolds Water park.
Aethelwyn

Ambrosius sought refuge with King Buducius and later returned with a force of 10,000 warriors. He constructed the Giant's Dance and besieged Vortigern at Ganirivus. **Aethelwyn** was the blind daughter of the Duke of Cornwall and the sister of the Saxon Eostoric. She was loved by Oswald, a Saxon. During a war between Aurelius and Oswald, Aethelwyn wandered into the forest, was abducted by the sorcerer Osmund, and later visited in the dungeon by Merlin and Biliodelvos She was healed, freed, and eventually married Aurelius. Aethelwyn married Aurelius to establish peace between Saxones and Britanni. However, she blinded Aurelius for the Saxon settlement and was exposed by Uther. Consequently, she had Aurelius banished from Uther's court. During conflicts against Pascentius and Ciliomanos, Aethelwyn and Eostoric ultimately murdered Aurelius. Aurelius was slain by Eohpád, a Saxon physician who posed as a friend. Uther returned, had Aethelwyn executed, and she died tragically.

Celts

The term **Celts** and **Celtic** was not used in Merlin's time.**Celtae** was an old and obsolete word for the ancestors of the gauls and some balkan- or east-celtic tribes.None of the celtic-speking peoples of this period self-identified as "celtic" or "celts".The natives of the post-roman province Gallia identified as "Gauls", those of Britannia as "Britanni" those of Hibernia as Iuvernoi and the Picts as "Qritanoi" or "Albedosi".
Aviria

**Aviria** was a petty kingdom in northern Loegria.It's capital was
Muntrogin.It was originally ruled by King Avenis and Queen Anfole, later by their daughters
Laudamie and Annore until Laudamie married Garel who then became King.

It was also home to Elimat, Imilot,Olivier
and the Demon Vulganus.

## Location

Averre corresponds roughly to the region around Averham.
Aberuernia

**Aberuernia** was an old name of the mouths and the bay of the mersey.It separated Surlusia from Loegria.

## Notes

Original form:Assurne

Confusingly the same name was sometimes attributed to the Bristol channel, both names may come from celtic "Aber Vernia" or "Aber Durnia" ("Confluence of Alders" or "confluence of the fist").
Durnovaria

**Durnovaria** was a town and civitas,possibly originally a settlement of the Durotriges tribe..After roman withdrawal it was still held up by the local Dumnonii tribe and served as Dumnonias main settlement.During the Saxon-wars it was eventually conquered by Saxons who renamed it **Dornwaraceastra** and the surrounding land as **Dornsaetescyre**.Durnovaria was home to a main sanctuary of the pagan deity Helith.

## Notes

Durnovaria is identical with Dorchester and Dorsetshire.
Ancotoveta

**Ancotoveta** was a petty duchy in Pictland.Before Artus' time it was ruled by Parcival's ancestor Gandin and it was briefly given to Cei before Artus' retreat and finally death after which eventually Parcival became Duke and passed it down to his son Kardeiz.It's capital was Bealzenan.

## Location

Anschouwe corresponds to the region around Auchentiber, north ayrshire ans Bealzenan roughly to Benslie.

Originally Anjou must have been intended, but this contradicts Parcival/Peredur's general connection with northern Britain.

Aballon

**Aballon** was a mystical otherworldl island on which the laws of time and decay of the mortal world did not apply. If was a magical realm to which the old god Abellio, son of the Sea-god Lero or Aceios had withdrawn, a lover of the Goddess Diana. An ancient order of nine women tended the temple of Aballon which was the sectet source of their magical powers.These were the nine sisters who were presided over by a high priestess known as the Lady of the Lake of Diana. Aballon itself was otherworldly but could be accessed from several ancient holy sites, only the Lady of the Lake and the nine sisters knew the secret magic rite and words to summon Barinthus the ferryman of the otherworld. Merlin brought his wounded lover Viviana to Aballon to save her spirit, which banished her forever to the otherworld and broke her heart, making her half lover half enemy of his, having betrayed the trust she had given him on her secrets. Morigena, one of Artus' halfsisters also became one of the nine Sisters and later agreed to bring her dying brother to Aballon too, tending his wounds and removing him from the world of man.
Gallia

In Merlin's younger Years **Gallia**, or the **Galliae**, was still widely inhabited by romanized Gauls and southwestern The Galliae had become pretorian pregectures and were still held by westroman Magister Militum Flavus Aetius on behest of newly crowned Emperor Valentinian.However roman influence over Gallia was diminishing as Visigoths under King Thiudaricis II had established a Kingdom of their own in Aquitania Secunda around the City of Tolosa, the Burgundians under King Gundaharius had established a tribal Kingdom in Germania Secunda around Borbetomagus and the Civitas Vangionum and a growing Kingdom of the Salian Franks under King Clodio around Dispargum on river Rhenus.

Also Aremorica or Litavia had been taken by Britanni exiles led by Budicius son of Aldroenus, great-grandson of Cunomoriodocus.

Gallia was divided into Dioecesis Galliae (formerly Belgicae , Germaniae,  Sequania, Lugdunensis and Alpes Graiae et Poeninae) and the Septem provinciae (formerly Narbonensis and Aquitaniae or Viennsis, Novem Populi and Alpes Maritimae)

The original Capitols were Burdigala, Narbo, Vienna and Civitas Turonum, however as the germanic tribal kingdoms expanded were moved towards Arelate and Augusta Treverorum.

Other important cities included Durocortorum, Massalia, Mediolanum Santonum and Oppidum Senonas.

**Antumnocus** was the son of young Merlin and Gleivia, twin-brother of Inogena.He later entered Artus' service and became a man of the church.Merlin kept his true identity a secret and took him in as one of his scribes.He was later slain by Tristan during a tournament in Ireland.

## Names

* Annynawg
* Anynnawg

Fatae

**Fairies** , **Fatae** or **Fays** were human beings with supernatural, often magical powers.They were seen as the descendants of lesser guardian-deities or of the elder pagan gods, but born among men, possibly either through ancient bloodlines leading back to incarnated or materialised Deities, or through possession of humans by higher beings, or incubi and succubi.

Fairies were sometimes conflated with Elves, but the term "Elf" would more often refer to actual ancestor- and nature-spirits worshiped as lesser gods, though the distinction was not always quite as clear as "Fairy" would not only refer to living humans with magic abilities but also to deceased ones, who then, by definition could indeed become ancestor-spirits or "Elves".Dwarfs and Goblins, sometimes even Ogres and Giants, were by some seen as sub-groups of the Fairies.In the older Pagan-traditions fairies had been revered as living lesser gods or even human incarnations of great gods, the Christians however were often fearful or even hostile to them, either regarding them as Witches, folk in league with demons or fallen Angels, or admiring them as holy people and miracle workers, blessed by the one true god and inspired by the holy ghost.
13 - Afterword

In this small booklet I wanted to collect the legends of Merlin's youth and childhood and retell them. Of course, most of the material is not new but was written before me by numerous other authors and further processed. Above all, the works of Geoffrey of Monmouth's "Vita Merlini" and Robert de Boron's "Merlin" to mention, more from Merlin's younger years I took William Shakespeare / William Rowley's "The Birth of Merlin, or The Childe Hath Found His Father", John Dryden's "King Arthur; or, the British Worthy" the "Les Croniques Admirables du Puissant Roy Gargantua as well as Tennyson's Idylls, John Toland, John Veitch, Charles Godfrey Leland, George Parker Bidder, and the Italian Merlin tradition as represented by Paolino Pieri's "La Storia di Merlino", Bonamente Aliprandi and Manfredo Bonnelli. A great help was the "Arthurian Name dictionary" by Christopher Bruce, without which this work would have been unthinkable. It was a great pleasure to search through the old texts, to bring them into a chronology, to arrange them and to retell them, trying to restore the late antique and early medieval context of the "historical Merlin" and at the same time to take into account the magic of the "supernatural Merlin". If this did not always succeed to the fullest satisfaction so please forgive me this, too contradictory was often the source situation, just as one may forgive me possible anachronisms and historical inaccuracies please.
Armagus

**Armagus** was a britannic King of Camelot and Logres shortly before, or during Vortigern's ascension to High-King.He was the first to break the ancient holy tradition of the Well-fairies who took care for Britannia's springs as he ravished the Fairy-Queen and stole the Holy Grail, breaking the old bond between the spirits of the land and it's people.

He still lived long up into the early days of Artus' reign, as the ruler of Greenland or the land from which noone returns.He had succumbed himself to Artus'rule.

## Names

* Amagons
* Amaugon
* Amaugin
* Amangons
* Amangon
* Amgangon
Africa

In Merlins time former roman province **Africa** had become an independent Kingdom ruled by a germanic-sarmatian tribal coalition or warrior-elite known as the Vandali and Alani though they ruled only Carthago, Numidia and parts of Mauretania.

In the Vandalic War of 533 eastern roman forces under Belisarius reconquered the Barbaria along with Corsica and Sardinia and the Baleares. Emperor Justinian I (r. 527–565) organized the recovered territories as the Praetorian prefecture or "Exarchate" of Africa, which included the provinces of "Africa Proconsularis","Byzacena", "Tripolitania", "Numidia", "Mauretania Caesariensis" and "Mauretania Sitifensis", and was centered at Carthago.

Damnonia

**Damnonia** was a pictish kingdom, remnant of an older caledonian tribal realm.It was ruled by Dumnovallus, later by his grandson Rhodarchus who had married Merlin's twin-sister Ganieda.

Damnonia's capital was Altoclota, other main settlements were Curia and Ovania.

## Location

Damnonia or Altaclota correspond to Alt Clud or Strathclyde.
Druid

The **Druids** were ancient Teachers and Philosophers of the Galli and Britanni.In Merlin's times the Brotherhoods of the Druids were disunited.Many, especially among the Britanni had become Christians, adhering to the Teachings of Pelagius, among the Hiberni and Picti however still many Druids were Pagan, acting as tribal Priests and advisors to the Kings.

Merlin's teacher Blaesus had once been a Druid as had been Vortigerns twelve Advisors, among them Matthaeus, Maugantius, Eli, Joram, Proximus, Dubric, Samson, Tremorinus, Vodinus...The Ladies of the Lake and the Nine Sisters were remnants of pre-christian female -druidic sisterhoods or female orders of fairies closely related to them.

Although Merlin does not seem to have belonged to any druidic brotherhood, beside roman and christian teachings much of his upbringing and Philosophy seems to have been druidic or much influenced by druidid thought.His Role as Artus' advisor owed much to the ancient position of the Druid as the teacher and advisor to the celtic Kings,

## possible Druids

Blaesus
Merlin
Viviana
Deviniocella

**Deviniocella**, the "Diviner's Cover", was a sacred grove near Ambrosiodunum where Vortigern's twelve druids used to meet.At this place they also decided that Vortigern's collapsing new fortress needed a building sacrifice to tame the spirits of the land, a fatherless child.Osmund proposed the boy Merlin.
Caledonians

The **Caledonii** or **Caledones** ("Mountainlanders" or "Hardfeet") were both ancestors and part of the pictish confederacy.They were one of the two main tribal groups and populated mostly the *great glen*, while the other main group of the picts or the "true picts", hailed from the northeast and the eastern coast of Pictavia.The Caledonii, along with the northern *Venatioi*, the southern *Folioi* and the eastern *Verturiones* made up the Highland-clans while most of the other picts either were Coastlanders or Islanders.In contrast to the "true Picts", the *Dicalydones* and *Verturiones*, the Caledonians were not especially known for the blue bodypainting and tatooing the picts were famous for, but they were known for dying their hair fiery-red, which was not very common among the other pictish tribes.

The Caledoni should not be mistaken for the *Dicalydones* , whose name implied "the Non-caledones".
Brobara

**Brobara** was a small tribal Kingdom in southwestern Pictland.It was under constant pressure from invading Scoti and Picts from The Outer Isles and Iserterre as well as Britanni from Canadic and Cumbria.When Clamadeu sent Engygeron to conquer it, Parcival aided Condwiramurs, daughter of Brobara's King Tapenteire.He later married her and Brobara became part of Parcival's northern Britannian Kingdom.

It's capital was Belrepeire which was not far from Brandigan, Limors and Penevric.

## Location

Brobara corresponds to the region around Bearsden in east Dunbartonshire.
Brides of Christ

The **Brides of Christ** were a movement of female monastics.Pious christian women from different social backgrounds who wore simple clothing of the poor and the veils of roman brides to symbolize their devotion to Jesus Christ.They usually lived in special houses for females, alongside with male monastics under a Deacon and did charity work for the poor.

Merlin's mother Optima was a bride of Christ and Merlin did grow up at a monastic house of St.Peter in Moridunum.Morigena and her sisters were brought up by women posing as brides of Christ who were probably just recently converted former Gallisenae or Namnetae, former female pagan priestesses similar to Druids, also known as the nine sisters.

## Notes

Nuns per se did not exist back in the 5th century, but female monastics which could be interpreted as the forerunners of later ecclesial female orders.
Arimaspos

**Arimaspos** of the Cyclopes Islands was a Tartaric King from Sicilia who was in the service of Feirefiz, Parcival's half-brother.

## Geography

Amaspartins and Schipeljonte seems to relate to the Arimaspi or Arimaspea and the Cyclopes, Arimaspea is usually believed to be somewhere in Eastern europe or the kaukasus or to correspond with Kasachstan or Turkmenistan.

## Other Names

* Aspramatinse of Cippelant
* Asprat of Stipolonte
Britannia Minor

**Bertane** , or **Britannia Minor** in latin, referred to the lands in western Aremorica which had been settled by Britanni from Cambria and Dumnonia.It was informally still a part of Britannia and Artus and the Round table traditionally had a pact of mutual support with it's rulers.

As part of Gallia it was originally held by a gallic-roman Duke named Inbalt until he was conquered by Britannian-Roman Emperor Maximus who gave it to Conan Meriadoc.After the Romans began to remove their legions from Britannia the Britanni begged the Aremoricans for help and Meriadocs descendant Aldroen sent his brother Constantine for help who later became High-King of Britannia.When Constantines two young sons Ambrosius and Uther, who were born in Bertane, had to flee from Vortigern they found refuge at the court of Aldroen's descendant Budec whose son Aramont also assisted The Brothers in their reconquest.During Artus' reign Bertane was ruled by several Lords, among them Fflergant,Peissawg, Brian of the Isles who was an enemy of artus' and who harbored Cei after he had falled to disgrace.A Lord who was loyal and friendly with Artus was Hoel, at whose court Tristan lived for a while, but who,shared his power with another Lord named Morgan, presumably a Hibernian.

02 - On the search for the father

My mother Optima, however, was not a weak child.after lying injured and ill for a long time, the solitary ones soon found out that she was expecting a child.not knowing what her future and mine would be, she decided to find her tormentor and assert her rights as a freeborn woman against him. Soon she searched the streets of Moridunum, but found no trace of Moricantus, who she did find was Colonnus, a wandering bard who had often visited her family in Tovius and later Leucodunum when she was a child. Colonnus was an illegitimate son of Mauricus, who as a bastard had been denied the succession of Ariconia and thus had been given by his father to the bard school of Glevum. She urged that distant half-brother, almost a stranger, to take her along on her journey and search for the father of her child. She stole away from the house of St. Peter and urged Colonnus to follow the traces of Moricantus, from Moridunum to Isca and Uriconium, to the court of King Vortigern and to Tamium, but nowhere did they find Moricantus, who at that time had already completely succumbed to madness and was lonely waiting for his death, locked away by his own shame-filled family in the high tower of Eburacum. On the way to the old homeland Leucodunum near Londinium, however, my mother was visited by my true father in a dream who sent her running with the wind, leaving the streets as if out of her mind, to the plain of Sorbiodunum where the ancient giant dance stood, which people fearfully avoided. There Lucifer appeared to her, in various shapes and forms, sometimes as a huge giant, sometimes as an old hermit, sometimes as a handsome young man richly dressed, sometimes in the form of her tormentor Moricantus, sometimes as her half-brother Colonnus. He put her in fear, then he sought to win her trust with kindness and care, finally he promised her to acknowledge his child and to always take good care of both their lives and began to tell her the story of his tribe. He spoke of the creation of the world and the wanderings of ancient demon tribes in a time before the arrival of the first mortal men, of clans of primeval giants to whose kings he and his siblings rose until they became tyrants, of how they built the Giant Dance of magical rock to heal those who were injured and killed in the mighty wars of the elements and to show their children the way to the ancient demon fortresses, the mighty cities beyond the stars. I, their child, was destined to be one of those ancient ones, who would return to the lower human children, put the new gods in their place and lead the people on their way to the stars. In that hour, my mother surrendered, first to deceive Lucifer and escape his greater power, promising herself later to seek forgiveness from God and advice and help from Placidus, to be baptized a Christian and thwart Lucifer's plan, as she told herself and did when she returned to Moridunum with Colonnus, but her old faith had already inevitably died and she often looked up at the stars at night.
Alvernon

**Alvernon** was a castle in Isamnion, on the Green Island.It was ruled by Flois who was besieged by the Giants Galaas and Assiles.Artus sent Gavan who slew the Giants and ended the siege.Alverne also was the home of Blant, a count under Artus , and Flous Squire Giwanet.

**Gallery**

**Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni**, known as Michelangelo, was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, and poet of the High Renaissance. Born in the Republic of Florence, his work was inspired by models from classical antiquity and had a lasting influence on Western art.

He appears in the episode I Am Michelangelo and is voiced by Niko Ceci.

When the time travel trio meets him in 1488, he would have been 13 years old, and then 24 years old during their second meeting, 11 years later.

Castles

**Castles** play a major role in arthurian stories.It seems tempting to interpret many of these as *Motte-bayley castles*, as they often might have been the real foundation for many of the castles which appear in Arthurian literature, however this exact type of early Castle was not really farspread in europe before Norman times.Especially in the early times shortly after the roman withdrawal many roman *Castra* and *Castella* may have been continued in use by the Britons, however there seems to have been quite quickly a shift towards the use and re-use of *Hillforts*, not that different from pre-roman *Dunum*-types.The Picts would of course have used *Brochs* and maybe *Crannogs*, though they also knew large hillfort-like settlements.The Saxons of course immediately call to mind the Anglo-saxon *Burhs*, but again these were largely a later developement from the Anglo-norman wars.In the earliest times they probably would have built fortresses resembling much those of the mainland Germani, which would have been broad wooden towers, not unlike roman watchtowers, or very early "Wallburg" and "Fliehburg" types, again not too far from romano-british hillforts or Celtic Dunums.The Irish would most likely have used late "ringforts" types or structures similarbto very early "mottes",but perhaps the very well defensible irish monasteries could give an idea of how the seats of irish chieftains did look,like.It also might seem temting to interpret the irish "Roundtowers" as castles, but they most likely were storage-buildings with an additional refuge-function.

When I Feel Happy

**When I Feel Happy** is a song featured in I Am Fred Rogers. It's not an actual *Mister Rogers' Neighborhood* song. It is sung to the tune of "The Ants Go Marching", or "When Johnny Comes Marching Home".

## Lyrics

When I feel happy, I sit down and play, I play

When I feel happy, I sit down and play, I play

Golly gee, I’ve got friends with me, my fingers go strolling key by key

And we all feel happy

When we play together

When I feel happy, I sit up and sing, I sing

When I feel happy, I sit up and sing, I sing

Oh golly gee, I’ve got friends with me, my fingers go strolling key by key

And we all feel happy

When we sing together

When I feel happy, I jump up and juggle, I juggle

When I feel happy, I jump up and juggle, I juggle

Oh golly gee, I’ve got friends with me

Come on Brad, let’s juggle all three

And we all feel happy

Judge

In Merlins times official Judges were both the successors of the roman office of the "Iudex" and "Praetor" as well as the heirs of the older celtic profession of the "Bretus", a class of learned Nobles akin to Druids and Bards.The highest judge or Vergobretus was the official court-judge of the King himself, one of his chief advisors and often a member of the royal clan, other lesser judges were the judges of the provinces and tribes who were subortinate to the Royal high judge but members of the same social class.

## Notes

The early welsh Judges probably were similar to the later known medieval welsh judges as well as the known early irish Brehons, although the office may have also been heavily influenced by roman provincial law as well.

A man named Jetakranc of the Gamphasantes served Feirefiz, Parcival's half-brother.

## Geography

Gampfassache probably corresponds to Talmis, modern Kalabsh, Though it is sometimes proposed to correspond to Fezzan in southern Libya or the northern Kanem-bornu empire which was known as Phasania to the romans.
Lamogenus

**Lamogenus** was a Gaulish knight who served King Vortigern.Along with his comrade Rudiorix he was sent to find the fatherless child Osmund spoke of and bring him to Ambrosiodunum. Later he served King Bors the Elder and became a tutor of Bors the younger and Lionel.

He unwillingly came into service of Claudas when Gannes was conquered but joined the rebels until he was betrayed by his uncle Pharien when he joined a conspiracy to kill Claudas.He eventually reconciled with Pharien but fled to Britannia to join Artus and rose to a position at the Round table. Bors later saved his former teacher from execution at the forest of Roevent.When Tristan went to rescue Isold from Palomides he acompanied him and later joined the Grail Quest and was present at Corbenic when Galahad asked the grail Question.He was slain by Lancelot and his men when he saved Guinevere from the stake.
Lucifer

**Lucifer** was an enigmatic spiritual being older than mankind.He was sometimes equated with Satan or the christian Devil while at other times believed to be the son of the older pagan goddess Eostre and a lesser deity himself.He was also known as Diabolos and sometimes equated with the god mars or imposted to be God mars.The Celts had known him as "Dumnovalos" ("Dheubhhwelhos" to their ancestors) and he had been the deity for whom Merlin had once built stonehenge.He may have been identical with the Anglosaxon god "Lok".Before mankind started to inhabit the world Lucifer had led a war against a race of other higher spiritual beings known as the angels, sometimes equated with or believed to be the elder children and people of the christian god or a race of lesser guardian-deities.
Lucifer was the father of an older race known to mankind as Giants ("Cauri" to the ancient Celts), who had inhabited the britannias before the arrival of man ond whose descendants sometimes still were born into the human-race as a kind of taller and stronger demonic-halfbreeds.

Lucifer had a number of Aliases or used humans possessed by him or human-incarnations as his representants in the mortal world.
Some of his forms or aliases included Archimago,the black hermit, the knight of the burning dragon , sarant and possibly Moricantus.

The similar sounding "Lucifera" however was an epiteth or incarnation of Diana or Luna, the moon.Some regions in which he ruled or his power was especially strong were the forest of misadventures, the perilous cemetery and the island of Pamona which had been raised by him and on which he gave Artus a series of challenges or tasks.

Some humans revered Lucifer as a deity, among his followers were Albine,Miraldo, Nabor,Octa, Ragnelle and Rowena.Lucifer also commanded a host of lesser Devils or demons, among his creations were the Devil Cat, Marrien, the Questing beast and Selaphas.

Lucifer was Merlin's spiritual father, as he had possessed the Humbrian prince Moricantus while he raped Merlin's mother Optima.The creation of Merlin, whose soul he already knew from earlier Incarnations, was part of his plan to fulfill the ancient prophecy of the antichrist.He hoped to use Merlin as his tool to bring mankind to downfall or at least battle the christian religion which he saw as a potential rival and threat to,the race of the older pagan gods.Lucifer posed as powerful and mighty but in truth was only a lesser demon who himself only served Hellia, goddess of the Underworld, sometimes seen as his daughter.

## Introduction

In the sixth century the Christian Preacher Cantigernus of Laudonia befriends a half-crazed madman near the village of Perthia in the Caledonian forests... the man names himself as "Aliogenus" or "Merlynus the Wild" and, as he becomes more amenable, starts to reveal weird tales about his earlier incarnation, as a Wizard named Merlinus of Moridunum and how he had once made a young pretender named Artus of Camelot High-king of Loegria and almost conquered the roman empire...

Glevensia

**Glevensia** was a minor cambrian Kingdom around the City of Glevum.It was of Silurian origin but often found itself dominated by the Dobunni.It also was the location of the Flowering valley and the smaller sub-kingdom of Ariconia, home of Mauric's family.Vortigern's family also originally came from Glevensia.
Lemoros

**Lemoros** was a pictish castle and town not far from Brobara and Brandigan.It was first ruled by Linier and his niece or foster-daughter Ade, later by Count Oringle.

Under Liner's clan it had been the custon to present the castles inhabitants an olive branch, if not he would be considered enemy and attacked.

## Location

Limors corresponds roughly to Limekilburn in Hamilton or Limehillock in Grange.
Lady of the Lake

The **Lady of the Lake** was a fairy who tended the otherworldly lake of Diana with the Iskand of Aballon. She was the head priestess who ruled over the order of nine sisters.

Viviana became the new lady of the lake after the dead of the head priestess Orddu. Later eventually Merlins own daughter Inogena followed her.
Mordred

**Mordred** was a pictish prince, son of King Lod of Laudonia and Morcades, younger brother of Gawain, Gaheris, Gareth and Agravain.Officially Artus Pendragon's nephew, in truth his illegitimate son from a brief affair with Morgause although at the time neither he nor Morgause were unaware they were half-siblings and neither of them was actually certain of Artus' fatherhood, though both suspected.

Mordred grew up as loyal follower of his uncle but soon grew apart from him politically.Artus wished to politically dominate picts, Scoti and Saxones and sought closeness to the byzanthine empire, wishing to establish his vision of Britannia as a christian kingdom with dominant romano-british culture and latin language. Mordred however saw that eastern rome was far away, roman culture was dying and began to despise christianity openly embracing a possible celtic-speaking dominance over britain seeking an open scotic-pictish-saxon alliance.

He also was a strong opponent of Artus' political involvement on the mainland and especially Gallia.

Mordred married Vigilia, Ginevra's illetitimite half-sister whom he believed to be the real Ginevra and saw her as his era's incarnation of the goddess of souvereignty or the land.The couple had two sons and one daughter, Melcant, Melleo and Tortolina.
Smith

In Merlin's time **smiths** were regarded as very well-to-do and respected craftsmen. Even simple village smiths were often quite prosperous and influential men, but the great craftsmen who forged swords and armor were wealthy people who often lived removed from the towns and villages and had quite imposing homes and large families, servants and followers.They were under the protection of the Kings and knights and almost regarded as highly as bards or priests and druids. The Pagan tribes attributed magical powers to them and even the christians often still clung to superstitions on the powers of smiths that came close to magic.

The smiths were quite aware of their status and surrounded themselves with an aura of mystique and eccentricism that suited their position.
