Avalon Arthur

Lore

Arthur established the kingdom of NeoAvalon, named after the mythical land of Avalon where the ideals of equality, generosity, and justice were paramount. It was an oasis of peace in a war-torn land, yet that peace would not last forever. To defend the people against the monster-led incursions, he established the Round Table, a group of knights sworn to enforce peace around the land no matter what. Yet deep in his heart, Arthur knew that the darkness would return in force. He gave the knights of the Table their greatest quest: to find the mythical Grail that would help him reshape the world completely. Yet as the years went by, more and more of the knights returned empty-handed if they were fortunate enough, while others returned on their shields if they were not fortunate at all. One dark day, a mysterious knight arrived at the throne room and stood before him, silent and accusing. Enraged, Arthur demanded to know his identity. The figure took off its helm, and to his surprise he saw a familiar face looking back at him. His doppelganger called himself Mordred and claimed that Arthur was not worthy to bear Excalibur. The two battled on the spot while Mordred's mechanized legions launched a sneak attack against the capital. Despite his awakening of Excalibur's true power, Arthur's chest was pierced by Mordred's lance, leaving him fatally wounded. Yet all was not in vain, for the power within his sword had allowed him to impale Mordred's formidable armor in return. As the darkness overcame him, Arthur was gripped by sorrow for his failure to realize his dream.
