PendragonSet in post-Roman, Dark Age Britain. The petty British kindoms are beset on all sides: by Picts to the north, Irish pirates to the west, and Saxons to the east. A few, like the efficient but brutal general Artorius, struggle to keep Rome's military legacy alive. Artorius must not only contend with external enemies, but with infighting among the British princes, the machinations of the Druid bard Merddin and the seemingly mad Christian missionary Gildas. More troubling are the problems presented by Princess Gwendaello, recent successor to the ancient title of Pendragon and rulership of all Britain, who refuses to compromise her followers' freedom for the benefits of Artorius' Pax Britannica. |
