Open thread · The Matter of BritainThe survivors of Camlann
A handful of men walked away from Camlann. Write one of them, years later: what work they do now, what they tell people about the battle, and what they tell no one. The ending of the Matter of Britain is fixed. What is open is how anyone lives in the country it left behind.
What would contradict the canon
- Arthur does not return, and no one in the story knows whether he will.
- Do not rewrite who died at Camlann.
- The survivor is not Lancelot, Bedivere or Gawain. Those lives are already written.
