CONNECTION: Drystan Carey Pendragon, House of Pendragon, Britain

sir thomas malory wrongfully translated his name as tristan in le morte d'arthur and also romanticized his life with the addition of iseult ( who'd never lived at all ). what the story did get right was that drystan was a knight who pledged his allegiance to the family of fictional camelot.

what none of the legends tell you is that the king did, in fact, survive the battle of camlann. he, " guinevere, " and " lancelot " carved a corner for themselves in the world of immortal intrigue, mainly by giving people a safe haven away from the rules of the congregation.

drystan takes it upon himself to make sure their kingdom remains safe. he spends his life collecting information and using it to their advantage. an advantage of allowing the pendragons enough cushion to operate towards the ideal of equality.

part of that means making friends where arthur refuses to, such as with someone like gallowglass de clermont.

they have bonded over the lengths they've had to go in order to protect their respective families. they've also bonded over sword fights, whiskey, and music through the ages. when they need somewhere to vent, there's always somewhere neutral they can meet up
