Originally a village that was burnt down shortly before Avalon’s Curse, it later becomes the capital from which King Arthur rules. It is a sophisticated and backstabbing court, with political intrigues and secrets. A large part of the importance of Camelot is the Round Table.
Secrets of Camelot, Chapter 7:
Alone now, next to the Round Table room, I decided to go in. I needed something to distract me.
The thick woven carpet swallowed the sound of my footsteps as I walked in.
The place was bright, with the sun shining in through the large windows. Beautiful, ornamented chairs with tall backs and embroidered cushioned seats were set around a large stone table with a wooden top.
The construction was impressive. The knights’ names were engraved in silver plates on the wood. Gawain’s was right next to Arthur. I let my fingers move on the polished table under my husband’s name.
A vision of Camelot
Merlin’s Creed, Chapter 1:
The sun was very low when they reached the valley behind the hills.
Only a few more minutes. Her torso hurt, and she ached to put her feet in warm water. She hoped there would be a nice place to stop once they arrived.
But when they got there, there was nothing. Old ruins of stone houses that had been destroyed long ago were scattered from the bottom of the valley and up toward the hills. With large gaps between them that may have been used to grow crops. In the middle was a larger building that might have been a gathering place.
She should have known that something wasn’t right! Even with her magically enhanced hearing, she couldn’t detect any people before, but she assumed it was because of the noise from the rain.
But how could this possibly make sense?
Seth had warned her. And she did know the story of Ivan of Camelot. He was her great-ancestor and only his kin could carry the visions of the prophecy. His village had been burned before the Curse, but…she saw it got rebuilt, into a town. That was in the visions.
“I don’t get it,” she heard herself mumble.
“We must have made a mistake.”
“No. This is the place. I recognize the hills.” It was definitely the same valley.
A soft wind spread over the valley. The high grass made a hissing sound. Then, it stopped and the place stood still, apart from the rain.
They dismounted and started to walk.
“Could it be that the Camelot you saw was Ivan’s village, before it was destroyed?” Seth asked.
“It couldn’t be. The buildings were too different. These couldn’t have been the same ones.”
They kept going until they reached the middle of the valley.
“There.” She pointed. “Right there was a small castle. They were adding sections to it. I saw builders. And people moved on paved streets around it.”
“Sweetheart.” Seth stopped and smiled. “I don’t think we made a mistake. I think you saw the future of this place.”Camelot shows up twice in Evans Witches: as the ruined village that Ivan of Camelot comes from, and as Arthur’s capital city.
