| | Suite No. 1: Arthur Pendragon (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Mordred, the son born of this union, was raised by Morgan with the single aim of wreaking vengeance on Arthur for her father's death. |
 | | It is the combination of her passionate enmity, and the love-affair between Arthur's wife Guinevere and his closest friend and favourite knight Sir Lancelot, that brought about the eventual split in the company of knights assembled by Arthur at the Round Table in his palace at Camelot. |
 | | However, superimposed on the wedding is the Slaughter of the Innocents, as a result of Arthur's decision that all babies should be slaughtered--he is aware that Morgan has born a child as a result of their incestuous union, and aware too that the child will be a threat to the kingdom in the future. |
