Dark clouds hovered over Camelot. Not literally, but metaphorically. For although the sky was at its bluest, the atmosphere enveloping Camelot was far from bright.
Arthur IV Pendragon had been slain on the battlefield. That news had spread throughout Camelot for the past two days.

The Great Kingdom of Camelot, which had almost never suffered a total defeat, had now experienced the greatest loss in its long history.
