Uther Pendragon
During the dreadful war between the Saxons and the Britons, Prince Pendragon,
brother to Uther, was killed in battle. Uther, rising to power, aquired the name of the prince - hence the name Uther Pendragon. Needing comfort in a time of blindness and dispair, Uther took great confidence in his chief advisor, Merlin, whom had also served the former prince. At Uthur's request, Merlin have magically sent enormous stones from Ireland, to form the burial spot of Prince Pendragon. Now known as Stonehenge, on Salibury Plain.
Merlin then went to Carlisle to form the Round Table, seating numerous nobles of the country. They were bound by Oath to serve each other and their country with the most imperial manner possible. Soon after, at the grand festival of Carlisle, Uther became entranced with Igrain, wife of Gerlois, Duke of Tintadiel. Displeased with the King's conduct, Gerlois and Igrain fled the festival, disreguarding etiquette to their king. Uther needing disguise to fight for Igrain, declared Gerlois a rebel. The king then sent battle into Tintadiel, confining Gerlois, and asking another favor of Merlin.
This allowed Uther enough time to enchant the Dutchess. One dark and somber night, Merlin, with magical powers, transformed Uther to mirror Gerlois. The deceitful Uther and Igraine concieved a child. In time, the Duke was killed, Uther wedded Igrain, and produced a son, Arthur.
Arthur, the Chosen King
At the event of his birth, young Arthur was taken by Merlin, as payment for Merlin's sorcery. He was to be raised by another knight, Sir Ector. Ector, a true and noble knight, raised Arthur, alongside of his own son Sir Kay. His childhood was pleasant and free of troubles. At the age of 15, Sir Kay, and Arthur were testing their galant skills, when Arthur saw a sword gleaming from a stone nearby. Drawing closer with excitement and uncertainty, Arthur noticed an inscription on the stone - "He who so ever draws forth this sword from the stone shall be the rightful king of England." Arthur effortlessy pulled the sword from the stone, proclaiming himself the new King of Briton.
The magical sword of King Arthur, formally known as Caliburnus, is known as a mystical power in its own rights, as well a vital part in King Arthur's reign of Camelot. According to legend, this great sword, Excalibur was broken in battle against King Pellinor. It was later returned to Arthur by The Lady of the Lake. The sword aided Arthur, until the event of his death, at the Battle of Camlann.
