VIDEO ⚔️ NPC: Arthur Pendragon

[avalonmods]

As promised.

Arthur Pendragon, ask me anything. AMA, as it's called.

[ MOD NOTE: Arthur will reply to questions as best as he can with a couple responses per person. He has a lot to continue catching up on and learning himself so he can't continue conversations with everyone at leisure, but he wants to let everyone get to know him. New responses will be cut off after the 29th. ]

I was told you are a king, yet the one who told me such also made mention that many details regarding certain individuals are not quite as they remember. What reason have we to trust you and your circle?

[avalonmods]

You have no more than I have reason to trust you. I have faith that none of us want our stories to end, and to that end, I am choosing to have faith in each of you. Whether or not you do the same is a choice I cannot make for you.

[emet_sulk]

And if we choose to help another save their world instead of our own?

I've nothing left for me in my own. No more attachments, no more aspirations.

[avalonmods]

If we save one, we save them all. It will take some time to discuss the process of going home and make agreements with the faeries for a long-term solution, but I intend to bring up the possibility of allowing choice in regards to where one stays or returns to when this is over. I understand no longer having a home to return to more than most. It is not an issue I intend to let fester.

[ Arthur, after all, is from Camelot. Original Camelot. Everything about his home he knew is gone. So he gets it. ]

[emet_sulk]

I see...

[ It seems an honest response. It is, at the very least, not a false reassurance. ]

I suppose we collectively have no choice but to trust one another for the time being then. Do not think, however, that I am above killing kings whose words and deeds prove false.

[avalonmods]

Do not think it is wise to suggest you would kill one.

[ If he goes into any castle grounds or if he's nearby on Arthur's outings, there's sure to be guards watching him after such a statement anyway, even if Arthur isn't going to arrest anyone for crimes they haven't committed yet. Back in his day, you certainly could be imprisoned for speaking ill of your king, but he's both reasonable and aware things aren't the same as they were back then. ]

But I have no intention of lying, and so you should have no intention of violence.

[emet_sulk]

[ One can almost hear the thin smile in his voice. ]

Indeed. I've no reason to want to depose a reasonable king, so fear not, Your Majesty. Let us hope that the salvation of our worlds does not demand too high a price.
