The following characters are people from Arthurian legends who are available for players. There is no obligation to stick to your character's traditional role so Lancelot does not have to be in love with Guinevere and Galahad doesn't have to be chaste, unless you wish them to be. I as admin will be likely to throw bits of your character's legend at him/her from time to time but it won't necessarily follow the established path.
Knights:
King Pellinore - King of Listeneise aka the Lake District
Sir Lamorak - Pellinore's son and heir
Sir Percival of Listeneise - King Pellinore's bastard son
King Lot of Lothian and Orkney - father to Gawain, betrothed to Morgause
Sir Bors of Gaul - a cousin to Sir Lancelot
Gareth of Orkney - King Lot's younger son by his late wife, a teenager*
Sir Ector - King Arthur's foster father, a friend to Uther
Sir Kay - King Arthur's foster brother and now Seneschal
Sir Alexander - Sir Ector's middle son
Sir Bedivere - a knight
Sir Balin - twin to Sir Balan
Sir Balan - twin to Sir Balin
Sir Palomides - the Saracen knight
Sir Dagonet - the king's fool, was lost in the lands of the fay but could reappeared if needed
Sir Marrok - the knight who was once cursed into becoming a werewolf
Sir Mordred - Arthur's half brother, a bastard son of Uther Pendragon
Sorcerors:
Existing sorcerors taken, but can be created
Courtiers:
Igraine, Queen Dowager - Arthur's mother, widow of Gorlois and Uther
Lady Isolde of Brittany - daughter of King Hoel
Lady Guinevere of Cameliard - daughter of King Leodegrance
Taliesin - court bard
Druids:
Nimue of Avalon - Viviane's apprentice
Niniane of Avalon - Viviane's apprentice
Priests:
Sansum - the bishop of Camelot
Blaise- an elderly priest who raised Merlin since infancy. Rumoured to be a former pagan sorceror, he is considered the oldest man in the world
*Please note that I have altered the history of the following characters so as to include them in the timeline:
Gawain and Gareth are traditionally the sons of Lot and Morgause but I have here named them Lot's sons by a previous wife since I intend the game to begin before Morgause and Lot are married. I have omitted the other brothers for now since they are less well known.
Galahad is traditionally the son of Lancelot and Elaine. I have named him Lancelot's brother instead.
Mordred is most famous as King Arthur's son born of incest with by his sister Morgause (sometimes Morgan). For our purposes he will be another son of Uther Pendragon, a bastard by an unknown woman.
