King Arthur

In the 5th century AD, the Roman Empire begins its withdrawal from Britannia, leading to instability in the region. This withdrawal creates an opportunity for the native Woads to rise up against Roman authority.

Amidst the chaos, the Woads, led by Merlin, launch a revolt against the dwindling power of the Romans. This marks a significant turning point in the power dynamics of Britannia.

A group of Sarmatian knights, under the command of Artorius Castus (Arthur), are torn between their loyalty to Rome and their desire to return home. They realize the urgency of their situation as they face pressure from both the Romans and the encroaching Saxons.

After the knights save Bishop Germanus from a Woad attack, he orders them to rescue a Roman family threatened by Saxons. This mission becomes imperative due to the potential ransom for Alecto, a candidate for the papacy.

The Sarmatians learn about the Saxons, led by Cerdic and his son Cynric, who pose a severe threat to the safety of the region. The knights feel abandoned by the Romans, realizing they must face this new danger head-on.

In the face of adversity, Arthur gathers a courageous band of knights including Lancelot, Tristan, and Guinevere to embark on their mission. Tensions arise as Lancelot expresses frustration with their Christian mission, foreshadowing internal conflicts.

As they journey to rescue the Roman family, Arthur's party is ambushed by the Woads. However, thanks to Merlin's timely intervention, they manage to escape, demonstrating the intricate web of allegiances they must navigate.

Upon reaching their destination, Arthur confronts Marius, the Roman patriarch, who refuses to leave his estate. Arthur's decision to liberate Guinevere and her brother from Marius's captivity highlights his moral stance and leadership.

Arthur learns of the treachery within the Roman ranks, particularly regarding the betrayal by his mentor. This revelation deepens his estrangement from the Roman ideals he once embraced, forcing him to reevaluate his loyalties.

Arthur's team faces a fierce siege from the Saxons at Badon Hill. Using innovative tactics inspired by Merlin, they fight valiantly, marking a significant struggle between the Britons and Saxons for control of the region.

As the battle rages on, personal sacrifices are made within Arthur's ranks. Dagonet disrupts the Saxon forces heroically, while Lancelot saves Guinevere, but suffers a mortal wound in the process, raising the stakes of loyalty and love.

Arthur ultimately confronts Cerdic in a final showdown. His victory not only signifies the defeat of the Saxons but also establishes him as a leading figure among the Britons.

Following their victories, Arthur pledges to unify the Britons against future threats. This promise marks the beginning of his journey as a leader who seeks to establish peace and stability in a fractured land.

In the aftermath of war, Arthur marries Guinevere and receives the honor of king of Britain from Merlin. This union signals a new era of hope and unity for the people of Britannia.

As Arthur’s story becomes legend, the spirits of the fallen knights are immortalized in tales shared across generations. The imagery of untamed horses galloping through the land symbolizes their enduring legacy and the resilience of the Britons.
