Major Story Arcs

Seven Soldiers of Victory

The Round Table is broken when King Arthur leads his soldiers Sheeda-side to recover the Cauldron of Rebirth and Plenty. King Arthur dies there, or during the Sheeda invasion. The seven surviving Knights are rallied by Lancelot to take a final, doomed charge against the Sheeda. Almost all members are killed in the fighting. One member, Sir Ystin falls through time before the battle concludes. Three members-- Bors, Peredur, and Galahad-- survive to bring an atom bomb against the corrupt rule of Mordredd the Dead. This explosion marks the final death of the Knights of the Broken Table.
