@ferynn replied to your post “How would the ROs be as parents ?👀”:

Fae have ancestral memories? 👀

Yep, full-blooded fae don't generally have the memories of any particular ancestor in specific (... generally) but they are born with a natural knowledge & instinct regarding their own powers, fae hierarchy, & how to be their own specific brand of "fae" and such.

This is why fae 'kids' aren't generally raised by their own parents (unless it's an outlier like Ninianne who totally raised all her own kids and then some). Also how baby changelings instinctively know what their particular mission is supposed to be.

Except for changelings like the MC, apparently. 😏 But Merlin has their own theories regarding the Changeling MC if you care to talk to them about it during the next Free Time event.

#I say 'kids' but it's not like they naturally have baby or kid forms #If a full-blooded fae is appearing as I child it's doing that on purpose #Probably to screw with you #oks-replies #oks-Ninianne

So a 60 year reign + 15 years old when he pulled the sword in the stone = 75 years old grandpa. The next generation after Arthur (Mordred, Lancelot, Gawain* etc) would be 15-25 years younger than him.

So Lancelot and Arthur are different generations? How old are some of the other characters in comparison? Like Guinevere, Morgana, Morgause, Elaine of Corbenic, Galahad, etc.

Yes, it usually gets ignored in modern reinterpretations (except for things like First Knight) but Lancelot is part of Mordred's generation (who was of course young enough to be Arthur's kid in many versions).

Arthur had been aligned with King Ban (Lancelot's father) for many years with them fighting off the the rebelling kings, Saxons & co, King Rience etc before Benoic fell and Lancelot gets yoinked as a baby by the Lady of the Lake (Ninianne in OKS).

I've got a detailed timeline for major events (reigns of rulers, famous battles & invasions, deaths of major players) but I haven't bothered to nail down the exact birth dates of the Camelot characters since that's not really something that's going to come up.

It's more important what generation they belong to than anything else.

Mordred - 15 years younger than Arthur born the same year that he pulled the Sword in the Stone (460 AD - yes, it's plot relevant)

Guinevere - She was betrothed to Arthur as a kid (to secure Leodegrance's troops against the Saxons/rebelling kings/all the clusterfucks at the start of Arthur's reign) so she straddles the line between Arthur & Lancelot's generations. 10-ish years younger than Arthur.

Morgana - She's a fae, so she's old as balls. There are stories where she had a kid with Julius Caesar (who lived 100 BC – 44 BC) to give you an idea how long she's been around.

Morgause - A couple years older than Arthur. Of all the kids of Gorlois & Igraine (Morgause, Elaine, Cador), she's the only one old enough to even remember her biological father. Would've been around 18-20-ish when she met 15-year old Arthur.

Elaine of Corbenic - About five years younger than Lancelot, so that'd be around 25-30 years younger than Arthur.

Galahad - Two generations removed from Arthur. He'd be 37-45 years younger... depending where I end up putting the conclusion of the Grail Quest (sometime between 500-510 AD).

@ferynn replied to your post “Since Viviane had a few lovers in the myths, would...”:

Hmmm. Merlin and Vivian spent 1500 year together. Hmmmmm.

Yep, they were both sealed at the edge of the Veil from before Camelot even fell in 520 AD until Merlin escaped back in 2020. I suppose the most that can be said is that they're kind of sick of each other's faces at this point.

#Meanwhile Merlin bemoans why they couldn't get stuck with Ninianne instead #oks-replies #oks-Vivian #oks-Merlin
