King Arthur is the king of Camelot Castle which is east of Seers' Village. Arthur is the leader of the Knights of the Round Table and an ally of the White Knights.[1] King Arthur is found on the ground floor and is involved in three quests: Holy Grail, Merlin's Crystal, and King's Ransom.

After completing the Holy Grail, players can mount a painting of King Arthur on a wall in their player-owned house.

History

King Arthur arrived to Gielinor in 132 of the Fifth Age, where the Knights of the Round Table were to remain until their aid was needed again in England. At the time, King Ulthas still held the throne of Kandarin. Once in Gielinor, King Arthur sought to find a new castle to house his Knights.

King Ulthas, wishing to aid King Arthur, spoke with Lord Sinclair, an important political figure who had taken up residence in a mansion east of Seers' Village. Sinclair agreed, deciding Arthur's need was greater than his. He left the mansion to Arthur, relocating himself and his children to a small mansion near the southern border of the Fremennik Province. His children, though, never forgave him for leaving their home, eventually leading to his murder. This is later revealed to be just a part of a bigger plot by Anna and David Sinclair to reclaim the mansion, leading in them working with King Arthur's enemy, Morgan Le Faye and her Renegade Knights, to kidnap King Arthur, Merlin, and the Knights of the Round Table. The player foils their plot, rescues King Arthur and the Knights, and reclaims the Holy Grail which was stolen by Morgan.

King Ulthas died shortly after, leaving the throne to his sons Lathas and Tyras. King Lathas, the ruler of East Ardougne, disagreed with his father's decision to give the Knights Camelot, and wished to reclaim the mansion and have the Knights killed. To do this, Lathas has allied himself with Lord Iorwerth and the mourners of the elven Iorwerth Clan, who promised to help him reclaim the mansion in exchange for giving them access to West Ardougne. However, he was later arrested and executed as part of the player's efforts to end the fake plague and stop Lord Iorwerth from summoning the Dark Lord.

Trivia

  • King Arthur is based on the legendary figure of the same name from medieval Welsh mythology, around whom a number of stories revolved.
  • The world that Arthur arrived from is presumably our own, as the characters in Camelot are sourced 'as is' from the Matter of Britain and Arthurian Legends. Arthurian legend also states that King Arthur was not truly killed by Mordred, but carried off to another world, biding his time and ready to return. The 'other world' in this case would be Gielinor.
