Il magnifico Merlino, i cavalieri della Tavola Rotonda che combattono con la spada e i re coraggiosi sono solo alcuni dei motivi per cui non ne abbiamo mai abbastanza delle narrazioni della Leggenda Arturiana nei nostri giochi.
RACCONTI LEGGENDARI RACCONTATI
Quando si parla di Leggenda Arturiana, c'è una pletora di storie da approfondire e non importa quante volte queste storie vengano raccontate, raccontate e raccontate ancora, continuano a tenerci sul filo del rasoio.
Cavalieri cavallereschi che combattono con la spada, re coraggiosi e regni incantati, per non parlare di alcune delle più grandi storie d'amore mai raccontate, basta andare al cinema per assistere a un'epopea di Re Artù o sfogliare la TV per vedere una serie basata su Merlino, uno dei maghi più famosi in circolazione (vediamo Gandalf e Silente, ci siete anche voi).
PERSONAGGI CLASSICI RIVISITATI
One of the most famous kings in the world of fiction, King Arthur will always be known as the man worthy of pulling the sword from the stone and claiming the holy grail. And with The Sword and the Grail in hand, King Arthur is crowned to rule Camelot and protect the Diamonds of the Realm alongside his Queen, Guinevere. Maybe we'll save the epic love triangle between himself, Queen Guinevere and Sir Lancelot for another day.
Speaking of, Sir Lancelot has to be one of the most famous knights of the round table, right? Known for his chivalry, courage and elite sword-fighting skills. And when he wasn’t trying to woo the Queen you could find him in other kingdoms trying to win the hearts of other princesses, much like Princess Elaine in 15 Crystal Roses: A Tale of Love. Although according to legends this pair wasn't quite as loved up as they seem...
Love and magic play a huge part in our Arthurian Legend series, and when we think of magic we of course think, Merlin. When we picture Merlin, we see a bearded wizard with a brow furrowed with wisdom, but this wasn’t always the case. In his youth as a cocky young druid, Merlin wasn’t alone casting spells in his tower, oh no, he had quite the friendship with Vivian, better known as The Lady of the Lake. Although there may have been more than friendship between this mystical pair, their stories eventually take on different chapters.
But Vivian wasn’t the only woman in Merlin’s life, there was his apprentice, sister of the King, Morgana. Feisty and powerful, Morgana’s narrative takes a darker route as she succumbs to jealousy after witnessing the crowning of her brother King Arthur. A coldness seizes her, turning her heart to ice which even her former mentor and friend cannot thaw.
Like other works of fiction, Arthurian Legend isn’t shy of villains, Morgana is just one of them. But one of the most famous has to be The Green Knight, a perplexing character known for his green aesthetic and ghostly appearance. A piece of friendly advice? If he challenges you to a duel, turn the other way.
CAMELOT, CASTELLI E FORESTE INCANTATE
E dove si trova questa collezione di personaggi colorati? Il Regno di Camelot. La casa di Re Artù, dei Cavalieri della Tavola Rotonda e della torre di Merlino. Circondato da un assortimento di foreste incantate e talvolta semplicemente inquietanti che ospitano tesori leggendari e ornamenti maledetti in attesa di essere scoperti da un cavaliere coraggioso o da un re coraggioso.
