Welcome to Legends of Pendragon- A Medieval RPG based very loosely on the BBC TV show "Merlin".
Feel free to have a look around and if you like what you see why not join us?
What role will you play? Royal or Noble at court? Chivalrous Knight or potent Mage for Camelot? Merchant, Peasant or Low struggling to make a living? Peaceful Druid of the forest, or Brotherhood recruit, out to cause trouble?
Camelot awaits...
And don't forget to vote for us at the Merlin Topsite!
Is that Spring I can smell in the air?
Finally Spring is on the horizon and the days are gradually getting warmer. Soon lambing season will arrive and all of the farms will be a hive of activity while in the city everyone is shopping for the change of season. The warmer weather means the Lows begin to show their faces in the city more, but that means there is also more thefts and crime...
Gossip:
Merlin must offer a prestigious Guild position to one of his best mages. Will it be Chase or Dreamer though? Tension is running high and the consequences could be unexpected...
Maid Gillianne Auvray has temporarily resigned her post as castle maid as her family have suddenly regained their wealth.
Whispers of Dante Grixis' resurrection are spreading like wildfire....Is it true?
Upcoming events:
Hi Guys!!!
Its great to see you're all here and active :D
I think Merlin would agree that we have both been rubbish admins over the last couple of months and we are very very sorry (please forgive us? :( )
I'm hoping to be on much more once i've moved into my new flat, because hopefully our project at work will be done by then and that means less working late and being stressed!
We have several new members who i hope are fitting in and feeling welcome! As usual, let me or any other admin know if you need any help :)
Lets also have a bit of a push with RP, and hopefully we'll have some new members soon too!
Barrels of royal-wizard love, Merlin & Arthur
Click on a staff name above to read a little bit about them.
Prince Arthur Pendragon is King Uther's only son, and therefore heir to Camelot's throne. He is young, brave and headstrong, however his boyish behaviour and good looks often lead him to act arrogantly, and he has a lot to learn. He has a close, sometime turbulent relationship, with his magical man-servant- Merlin. Whilst Arthur does not share his father's dislike for magic; he is still wary of the practice. Arthur is acting head of Camelot's Army, and aims to form a strong band of knights on whom he can entrust Camelot's protection.
Romantically, Arthur is hot property. Both the noblewomen at court and visiting princesses from other kingdoms are present with one goal in mind, not to win his heart, but his hand in marriage. Arthur has a close brotherly relationship with Uther's ward, the beautiful Lady Morgana.

One half of LoP admin, 21 years old and male, Arthur spend a lot of his spare time coding, making graphics or just generally keeping the site running smoothly.
He works as a SEO manager/web administrator/photography assistant.
In the small amount of spare time he has left, he plays far too much Xbox360 and reads too many books.
Merlin is a young man with a skinny frame and crop of dark hair. He is awkward, but well meaning with a good heart. He resides in the Castle both as Prince Arthur's manservant and Gaius, the royal apothecary's, assistant. Since Uther's acceptance of magic, Arthur ensured that Merlin was trusted to head the royal Guild and hand select promising young mages, like himself, to train.
Merlin's clumsiness may occasionally anger the Prince, but he is still Arthur's most loyal friend.

The second half of LoP admin, Merlin, is a 20 year old British student, studying for an English degree at university. Whilst they don't see each other much during term time, except in Camelot, Merlin and Arthur go back a long way (well, high school!).
The Dark Knight is a shady figure, and head of the Brotherhood. This underworld band of assassins, rebel mages and petty thieves are unaligned with the laws of Camelot and the Pendragon family. The Dark Knight oversees members' training and controls their activities. Due to the Dark Knight's tight regime, the Brotherhood's existence is not common knowledge amongst citizens and nobility.
~Bio Coming soon~
Morgana was the daughter of Gorlois, an ally of King Uther. Following her father's death in battle when she was ten years old, Uther adopted her as his own and raised her as his daughter. Whilst the Lady Morgana is renowned for her beauty, she is much more than just a pretty face; she is fiery and independent and wouldn't hesitate to stand up to both Uther and Arthur. She possesses psychic magic that she is only just learning to control, and is handy with a sword, having been taught by Arthur himself.
