Albion, Land of Arthur's Heirs
From the rolling hills of Camelot
to the mountainous peaks of Snowdonia, Albion is through and through
the land of Arthur. Forged from his iron will, paid for by the blood
of Knights and commoner alike, Albion encompasses the ideals, the
laws, and the heritage of its most famous King. The people of Albion
are a mostly homogenous lot - sturdy Britons, hulking Highlanders,
graceful swift Saracens, the tall intelligent Avalonians, and the small
mysterious Inconnu make up the
different races in the Realm.
Geography of Albion
The center of culture and
government in Albion is the city of Camelot, the former seat of the
throne of Arthur. From there stretch the forests and plains of the
Realm: to the west of Camelot lie huge plains, deep dark forests,
trackless swamps, and haunted hills. To the north loom the mountains
of Snowdonia, and frontier lands, dangerous and unpredictable. The
geography of Albion is varied and rolling, and is home to many
dangerous creatures. Especially of note are the disturbing stories
of the legions of undead Roman soldiers, long in their graves, now
risen to walk the land once more. More mundane creatures lie in wait
for the unwary traveler of the Realm, grown ever more bold in the
years since Arthur's demise.
Join Albion in their Quest for
Supremacy!
For those who choose to join the
fight to reclaim Arthur's glory, Albion has much to offer the
intrepid adventurer. Albion specializes in a diverse mix of player
classes; from doughty weapon-users to magicians of many types, to
Clerics to longbow-proficient Scouts - these and more rally in
defense of the Realm.
