This RP is loosely based on the Arthurian Myth and may contain some changes made to the overall legend to suit the roleplay's whole storyline. Nevertheless, enjoy! :)

The Green Knight of the Emerald Chapel
It has been years since Sir Gwayne's first confrontation with the legendary Green Knight and the Sovereignty of Camelot thrived and prospered in peace with the vigilant watch of the great Knights of the Round Table. Yet, all good things must come to an end - or so that's what the elders would say. In the 7th year of Arthur's reign upon the kingdom, the people of Camelot received news that the shores of the Broken Islands were invaded by the tribes of Ma'arn - a small land located northwest of Camelot which lies beyond the Shivering Seas. These tribes were no longer divided but were united under a king of their own whom they called, the King of Skulls.
They raided monasteries, establishing their own settlements and even reaching mainland Camelot to raid the villages that were located near the shores of the kingdom. Arthur and the Round Table made efforts to prevent further attacks of the Ma'arnic people, sending well trained armies stationed at the shores and engaging in several battles that would result in multiple decisive victories for Camelot. But the King of Skulls is more than just a raider from a foreign land, he adapted to the strategies used by Camelot's generals and began gaining small victories in several engagements. Seeing the potential growing threat of the Ma'arnic invaders, Arthur sent Sir Gwayne (or rather, Lord Gwayne because of his efforts in the war against Ma'arn) to find help.
Thus, Lord Gwayne now wanders the land, searching the one man who could help Camelot - the legendary Green Knight.

Lord Gwayne of the Sun's Blade
Lord Gwayne (or Gwaine, Gawain) is a knight of the Round Table, a member of the most prestigious knighthood order established to protect the land of Camelot from the clutches of evil and tyranny. He was known to many as Arthur's cousin, upholding his vows as a knight and is also known as the Maiden's Knight. Like the other knights of the Round Table, he possesses a magical ability that allows his strength and stamina to increase throughout the day and peaks when the clock strikes 12 at noon. At day, he has the ability to passively regenerate minor to less severe wounds while it would completely halt when the sun sets and moon rises.
He was known as the Sun's Blade because of his ability and reputation with the sword as he also wielded the ancestral weapon known as Angheliar (https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/iceandfire/images/6/61/Morningsword.png/revision/latest?cb=20160205022330) which had a blade that reflected light, making it glow like a bright star. Angheliar possesses the sharpness of ancient legendary weapons like Excalibur and is much stronger than iron. Its hilt were coated with brass and a sharp pommel. Gwayne had a brown coat of hair with streaks of gold and eyes that would seem to glitter like ice with a pale skin.
Lord Bertilak of the Emerald Chapel
Not much is known about the Green Knight himself except he resided in a lonely castle located near the Godslake - a lake where the Lady of the Lake resided. His most famous encounter with the Round Table is recorded in the Tale of the Green Knight and the Sun's Champion (https://www.enotes.com/topics/sir-gawain-and-the-green-knight) or otherwise known as "Sir Gwayne and the Green Knight." Nevertheless, he was described as having a large body and a tremendous strength, some would argue that it's equal to the strength of a Giant or even a demigod. He radiates a green, almost ghostly aura which earned him the title itself while wearing a plate armor upon his heavily armored steed. Some said he is a figure of a long forgotten past, others claimed that he is the ghost of the Lord of the Lonely Fort. Some claimed he wielded a battleaxe while others spoke of a greatsword forged by the gods of Godslake themselves.
Lord Percival Dragonstorm, the Black Knight of Dragonspire
A prestigious member of the Round Table, Percival was also a part of the influential noble family known as Dragonstorm. He is deadly with the blade, some noting that he is much deadlier than even Lord Gwayne himself who could even rival the knight's ever growing strength at day with nothing more than just his skills. Though he has the magical ability to conjure black flames that consume almost anything, Percival often chooses not to use it in battle and only call upon his ability as a last resort. His other titles were the Black Dragon and the Butcher of Ma'arn.
He is a handsome young man with a jet black hair and eyes that seemed to carry the color of the blazing flames. Percival was not older than his late 20s and was took up his vows as a knight during the age of 12 before being chosen by Arthur to be in the Round Table just eight years later. He wields a black bladed sword with thin ripple lines of gold upon its steel. It was found in the forests near Camelot and he wielded it since then. He wears a plate armor (https://pluspng.com/img-png/medieval-knight-png-hd-artstation-medieval-knights-models-crowd-turntable-video-david-munoz-velazquez-736.jpg) coated with a brass paint that wears off as time passes. Its left pauldron was shaped in a dragon's head and a sigil of a crimson biting a silver sword was painted upon the right pauldron.
This RP served as a prequel to my Song of Excalibur (https://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=92472) which is set a few years before the beginning of the roleplay itself. I aim to expand the lore and most importantly, detailing the downfall of Arthur's mental state from a benevolent and noble king to one tbat craves for power and control. So, events that happened here are canon to the TSoE-verse.
