It is the year 510. Uther Pendragon, High King of England, lies dead from a Saxon sword and you, Arthur, are the rightful heir to his throne. Your country is ravaged by war but the Council of Nobles do not want a mere boy to lead them in battle. At last it is decided that you will be cast out into the wilds. If you die it will be of concern to no-one, but if you survive it will be a sign that you are the rightful King. Merlin, the greatest magician in all the world, leads you to the town gate to begin your journey.
