#sidh

full body's hard so i skipped all the apparel and skin but here's sidh, my current avatar and my record keeper! stern, no nonsense, keeps a garden but she's like comically picky about it

A crossover stpry comcept between The Owl House and Arthurian lore where Luz and King find themselves in the much more stable, but none the less dire, Isles of Avalon when one one of her attempts to go home goes wrong. 

Finding themselves in the middle of an eternal war between the legendary Knights of the Round Table, and the Famorian demons from the void, the lost owl residents must help mend the divide thats risen between these legends in hopes of awakening the greatest of them King Arthur himself, from the slumber, Balor, the cruel Famorian King has trapped in, so that Excalibur may again be raised to turn the tide and return them to the Boiling Isle.

(I tried to replicate the shows designs with admittedly mixed results)

Arthurian Legends

The famed Knights of the Round Table, united again in Avalon and gifted with revival by the grace of the Lady to repel the vile Famorians and their endless quest to destroy. However, many remain burdened by their choices in life which remain unresolved or addressed despite their centuries battle together. 

Wounds inflicted on the body by a foe my heal in time but ones which are caused through the breach of trust and kinship, and the betrayal of loved ones, run infinitly deeper. Perhaps a neutral party might see them finally begin to heal?

Merlin: 

The legendary wizard hasn't lost a step in his centuries in Avalon, though his ability to see outside of time continues to cause him some frustration when he looses track of which timeline he's in and gets finer details wrong.  

He was delayed from helping Arthur at Camlenn, due to the actions of her dear Nimue, who was tricked by Morgana to keep the wizard within her sanctuary grove and away from the battle Though aware Morgana was using her, Nimue none the less couldn't stand the idea that fate would part them, all the same, she eventually conceded that the world needed Merlin more then her, and opened the way for him, arriving in time to help escort the wounded Arthur to Avalon. Though Merlin has not seen her since that fateful day, Merlin still thinks of her fondly, and wonders if perhaps they'll meet again.

Often Merlin is seen in the company of a raven, who he converses with regularly and seems to function as a personal agent of his. Not uncommon for an earthly magic user, but what is most curious is the birds name... Muninn, which carries strong implications regarding just who else the ancient Merlin is associated with.

Sir Morian: 

Nephew of Sir Percival, the moorish prince took his father, Aglovale's, place at the roundtable when he returned to Morian's mother after his knightly duties kept him from her for so long. Morian may be one of the roundtables newer members but he's more than come into his own in Avalon. 

Green Knight: 

An enigmatic and atypically valorous Sidhe who seemingly acts independent of the Seelie courts. He's proven himself an enigmatic, if intimidating ally to Camelot since his days of trickery on Sir Gwain, all the same, the knights grant him a wide birth less they find themselves suffering his wrath.

Arthur Pendragon: 

The Once and Future King. While his legends are famed, the man behind them has endured suffering making them long before he was wounded that fatful day at Camlenn. Weighed down by responsibilities thrust upon him when he pulled mystic blade from the stone, and the costs of upholding them, as being king always took precient over being a husband, a father, a brother and a friend. Yet even then his heroic will endures even in slumber.

Queen Guinevere: 

Never forgiving herself for her lapse with Lancelot, which directly led to Arthur forsaking Excalibur when he needed its protection the most, Guinevere sought out the blade to return to her Arthur, which led to her discovering her own potential as arcane warrior. Joining him in Avalon she has protected his form for centuries in hope of one day properly resolving their issues together. 

Sir Percival: 

Most famed for two things; his quest with Galahad to seek an aspect of the grail to cure Arthur of a dreadfuk curse and his personal family drama. While he, his sister, nephew and half brother have since rallied as a unit he continues his errant mission to locate another piece of the Grail he is convinced lay somewhere in the isles and has uncovered many of its secrets in the process. 

Galahad: 

Considered to be the greatest exemplar of the Roundtable's chivalric ideals and the noble aspirations of Camelot, however awakening in Avalon upon his death instead of the heavenly gates of St Peter dampened his spirit considerable. 

Though he has reconciled his predicament by recognizing the treat posed to creation by the Famorians and the nede for champions like him to stand against them, even his indomitable will is not immune to the inevitable fatigue that centuries of war can affect such a earnest soul. 

Morrok:

A longtime loyalist of the Pendragon's, Morrok has mastered the curse placed upon him by his insidious wife, with the help of the talismen made for him by his daughter. Now the knights no longer must wait for a full moon for the wolf knight to come to their aide. 

Mordred Pendragon: 

The formerly embittered son of Arthur and Guinevere. Galvanised by his aunt to rebel against Camelot in a misguided attempt at satisfying his feeling of resentemt by destroying the kingdom he beliived robbed him of his parents love, wielding a magical blade of his own and dark magics to do so as the dread knight. 

Despite his posturing, the battle that decided his and Britannia's fate was not triggered by his wrath but by an Adder and a knight drawning his blade to defend his steed from its bite, misconstrued as an trecherous attack under a flag of truce at Camlenn. While father and son did cross blades in the chaos that followed, no one in fact saw their supposed mutual final blows, in truth neither could bring themselves to strike down the other. Arthur's famed wounds came by other means after admitting his failures to his family.

Despite knowing this the knights have been slow to forgive Mordred for his actions in Britannia despite the dread knight now facing the same voidspawn that besiege Avalon, and for his part Mordred is content with his solitary vigil across the isle.

Morgana Le Fay: 

Half-sister to Arthur she was once counted amongst Camelot's greatest allies in its early days, but with the decline of the Old Faith in favour of the Cross, she became subject to derision from those who she had once mended and healed - prefering the unconditional favour of God to the fair trades required for the druidry she practiced to maintain natural balance.

Labed an apostate in her own home, the resentment she shared with Mordred, when he was given to her as ward while her brother fought the invading Saxons, was cultivated into a plot to ensure the old faiths dominion in Brtiannia by gathering it together into a well of power at Camlenn, cursing Arthur to prevent his interference when the chance arose.

But thanks to the Grail Arthur indeed interfered, and Morgana was forced to trust her spell to her acolytes to face the might of Camelot with Mordred, when Guinevere awakened power joined the fray. This proved a grave error as without her expert guidance the spell tore away from her followers and the great maelstrom of power they had amassed threaten to tear the land apart. 

Putting aside their feud they broken family united once again to try and contain the spell, but it proved an almost impossible task until her brother made a bold gambit by using Excalibur itself to siphon the energy, resulting in a blast which mortally wounded Arthur. Deeply humbled at the sacrifice he made to avert catastrophe Morgana and Mordred vanished from history, eventually arriving in Avalon years later.

Sir Ector:

When Ector took in the baby Arthur when the mysterious Merlin asked it of him, he had no idea he was holding in his arms the future king of Britannia, he was simply glad to have another soul in his house after the passing his wife.  

Raising two sons alone wasn't an easy task, but Ector did what he could, teaching them the values of duty and responsibility hoping it would make Arthur and Kay into honourable knights, but he would later regret not equally stressing the importance of being there for ones loved one's as well. Ector may not have predicted how many responibilities his foster son would go on to have but, all the same, he blamed himself for how bad things became between Arthur and Mordred, feeling his influence contributed to Arthur's tragic flaw of always putting his own desires second to the detriment of his personal relationships.

Seeking redemption of a sorts, he began to study the holy magics of Christendom, hoping to find clarity and wisdom to share with his grandson, unfortunatly, while he held no ill will toward his grandfather, Morderd instead turned to his aunt for guidance, whose own bitterness only increased Morderd's, despite Ector's warnings. He has held strong rivalry with Morgana ever since, which persists even in Avalon, their magic power equal to their faith in deities they've championed.

Champions of the Lady

Famed heroes whose tales sadly ended in tragedy, earning the Lady of the Lake's pity. Given a new purpose as her personal agents on the Isles, they aide the righteous knights of Camelot in their mission and protect the sacred places of Avalon from those who would misuse them.

Beowulf: 

The mighty Dane who slew the mad troll, Grendel, by ripping off his arm, but there is more to the story. Beowulf tracked the wounded troll to his lair hoping to finish him, but instead finding a climatic battle within those caves the only thing he found was the sight of a mother weeping over her lifeless son.

Unwilling to kill a mourning parent, Beowulf slipped out of the cave seemingly unnoticed, but despite this merciful act the dane was not above embellishments, and boasted of a great battle which never happend. Partially to silence questions but mostly to guard and boost his own reputation, as he believed a true warrior would have never avoided a battle, even out of sentiment. 

Despite what he assumed, Grendel's Mother had indeed noticed Beowulf's incursion and in a mixture of appreciation and anger, only understandable to her kin, appeared to him in a dream, as a beautiful women, promising to make him an even greater legend if he sired with her child. After the deal was struck, the King whose Kingdom Beowulf had just saved suddenly died, and being the nations hero had the crown soon placed upon his head, doubts already beginning to form in his mind.

Over the years Beowulf attempted to reach out to the child only to be rebuked by his son again and again, maladjusted over his duel nature as man and monster. Eventually unleashing his wrath upon his fathers people in the form of a dragon. Filled with regret and shame for the selfish actions of his youth, Beowulf faced the dragon in an epic battle, which ended with both father and son perishing. 

Boudicea: 

Leader of one of the most sucessful rebllions against the Roman Empire in history, Queen Boudicea and her two daughters swore bloody revenge against the Romans when they refused to honor the oaths made to her and her husband after his death annexing the kingdom promised to his family. 

Uniting the tribes of Britannia, then known as Albion, her army pushed out the Roman's forces, town, by town, but despite their success they were eventually bested by the ruthless war machine cultivated by Rome's Legions. 

Having no desire to spend the rest of her life on the run from the Empire, Boudicea sought to die honorably in combat, but none of her remaining followers were willing or able to grant her wish. It was then a young druid, who would one day be known as Merlin, appeared before her and guided her to the Lady of the Lake, who brought her to Avalon and named the Warrior Queen the first of her, once mortal, champions.  

Joan D'Arc:

The Maid of Orleons whose strong faith and indomitable spirit inspired the demoralized and downtrodde French army, during an arduous period of the hundred years war with England, after she came across a lone sword amidst a field. Joan interpreted its discovery as a sign from God to help save French from the ravages of war. 

Escorted by a cadre of knights, who rallyed to her due to her grace and wisdom, Joan quickly proved herself an adept to the lessons of warfare they had to teach and personally led a rescue of the Dauphin, the heir to the throne, from his English captors armed with the sword of Charlemagne, the father of France. Her charismatic leadership made her the pride of Franch, but with this fame also came envy. Many nobles resented that a mere girl of sixteen, a peasant to boot, had the ear of the Dauphin, these courtiers began whispering to him lies while Joan was away fighting, undermining his trust in her and leading him to think she sought the throne for herself, which with her popularity and apparent divine sponsorship she'd be able to attain.
