A letter to the surviving kings, counts, and knights of Britain:

I am Malahan Pendragon, the bastard son of Mordred, himself the bastard son of Arthur Pendragon, the High King of all Britain.

You know the grievous disasters that have befallen our fair isle. My father betrayed my grandfather, and both slew the other upon the bloody field of Camlann, along with many of the mightiest knights and kings who pledged to follow the banner of the Pendragons. Before that came the sorrow of Sir Lancelot’s treachery and the Queen’s adultery, and the High King’s war against Lancelot that slew many noble and valiant knights.

Now there is no High King in Britain, Camelot lies waste and deserted, and the pagan Saxons ravage our shores. Every day the Saxons advance further, lay waste to our fields and flocks, butcher our men, make slaves of our womenfolk, and desecrate holy churches and monasteries. Soon all of Britain shall lie under their tyranny, just as the barbarians overthrew the rule of Old Rome.

My lords, I write to you not to claim the High Kingship of Britain – for Britain is lost to the Saxons – but to offer hope. My grandfather the High King is slain, and his true heir Galahad was slain seeking the grail, so therefore this burden has fallen upon me, for there is no one else who can bear it. Britain is lost, but we may yet escape with our lives.

For I have spoken with the last Keepers of Avalon, and by their arts they have shown me how to save our people – a gate wrought of magic, leading to a far distant world, beyond the circles of this world, and certainly beyond the reach of the heathen Saxons. Here we may settle anew, and build homes and lives free from the specter of war.

I urge you to gather your fighting men and all your people, and join me at the stronghold of Caerleon. We shall celebrate the feast of Easter one final time, and then march to a new home.

Sealed in the name of Malahan Pendragon.
