Explore a rich setting with a modern take on classic tales!
- King Arthur and his bastard son, Mordred, have returned with the rise of Avalon.
- After a short but brutal civil war, they make a fragile peace and form the Kingdom of Avalon.
- Arthur Pendragon rules as High King and Mordred Pendragon is heir apparent as First Prince, jointly ruling House Pendragon.
- The rise of Avalon and Avalonain civil war throws the world into chaos, but most nations come to some accord with the Reborn in the aftermath. Each region and country has its own unique relationship with the Kingdom of Avalon.
Who will you give your vow?
Join the cause of Arthur as a member of Ordo Camelot. Join the cause of Mordred as a member of Ordo Morrigan. Or cast your lot with another Order or Lodge of Avalon.
Ordo Viridis are the Green Knights of lore. The Urban Knights of Ordo DuFleuve worship The City, while the Free Knights of Ordo DuLac venerate Honor above all else. Among the Fallen Lodges, there are the dread necromancers of the Tombknockers and the mad reality crackers of the Phantom Edge. Each has their place and purpose in the great kingdom.
