Kingdom of Arthur

General Info
The Kingdom of Arthur was a former human nation founded by supporters of King Arthur after his voluntary abdication of command at the end of his long pilgramage from the human homelands in what is now the nation of Central. Arthur was appointed leader despite his complaints, and his concerns were soon proven valid, as the new nation dried up their fresh water supply, known as Lake Guinevere. Only the timely actions of Sir Lancelot and the Witches of the Round Table were able to salvage the situation, leading many to elect Lancelot their new leader and to form a nation in his name, the Republic of Lancelot, instead.

The Kingdom of Arthur lingered on as one of the smaller human nations, only larger than the city state of Hamlet. Its male rulers intermarried with the Witches of the Round Table to produce a line of half-humans, half-dragons, which continued until the rule of King Tram and Queen Ruto. During their rule, the Arthur Tragedy occurred, destroying the city of Arthur and bringing an end to the kingdom's long history. Today, the only occupants of the city of Arthur are a colony of men and women turned to Outlaws against their will, secretly supported by the governments of neighbouring Eden and, more recently, Lancelot.

Arthur was a coastal, desert nation, surrounded by the sea, particularly the volitile Red Sea, on its western and northern shores, and the man-made river used to feed Lake Guinevere to the east. Extremely little is known about day-to-day life in the nation. Presumably they would have to receive most of their water from the Purification Plant in Lancelot. Otherwise their international relations are unknown, although the kingdom's final ruler, King Tram, was a close friend of King Louin Eden and Emperor Viares of Central.

Major Cities and Sites
A small nation, Arthur was home to only two major cities: Arthur itself, and the city of Hector, which is now part of the Republic of Lancelot. The country is now primarily home to monsters, especially Durant. An unexplained sand whirlpool exists in the northwest corner of the former nation. This is currently home to the Megamonster known as Tigris, who many mistakenly believe to be the source of the whirlpool, but this does not appear to be the case.
