Mordred

Medraut · The King’s Doom

majorattestedLegendaryArthurian legend

Arthur’s son by his own half-sister, begotten in ignorance and prophesied from birth as the king’s destroyer. Raised outside Camelot, he returns as the serpent inside it — seizing the throne and the queen while Arthur wars abroad, and meeting his father at last on the field of Camlann, where each deals the other a death-blow. The doom the king made before he knew he was making it.
