"The lore of the Archon peoples of Urak tells of a golden age of Order...their tales of the sorcerer Merlin, the sword Excalibur, the boy king Arthur, and the noble knights of the Round Table were told long before they became known to this world." Merlin, the first of the Archon mages, wandered the paths of Urak when the land of men was called simply Logres. Even the loremasters don't know precisely how he came into this world. Some say his sire was a Demon, others say he had no father at all. At times he visited the realm of the infamous Lady of the Lake, to the north of Logres, or the Isle of Avelion, in the west. Merlin never sought to rule Logres himself, but instead looked to unite the petty, sundered kingdoms of men under the firm hand of their true King."
