How so? I wrote both KaiBedivere and GalahadMordred and I hope I managed to write them differently. In my mind Mordred is completely different from Kay, like, dramatically different. Do you feel like they are the same characters t o you?
I doubt BedivereKay dichotomy can be reduced to secular vs religion? Where does it say that one is religious and the one is secular? I’ve never heard of it. Maybe it’s your headcanon of these two pairings that tend to get mixed?
The Legend of King Arthur Episode 1
Uther decides he is in love with Igrain and reprimands Gorlois for keeping his wife for himself. Igraine and Gorlois, terrified, try to protest, but Uther is unmovable. The war starts and Igraine and Morgana are closed in their castle, waiting and hoping Gorlois will defeat Uther.
Morgana prays to the storm, but her magic is so strong that she calls Merlin to her, but not strong enough to stop the course of events. Uther kills Gorlois and arrive to the castle where he makes Igraine marry him. Morgana meets Merlin again and asks him to teach her magic, promising she will use the powers only for good. Some time passes, Merlin and Morgana are studying together, and Igraine is pregnant with Arthur. At the day of the baby’s birth, Morgana angrily confronts Uther, afraid he is the one who made her mother sick (the pregnancy) and when he chokes on his food, she conveniently lets him die.
Without Uther, Igraine realises no one is safe, so she escapes to Morgause (married to Lot), while Merlin takes baby Arthur away and sends Morgana to a nunnery. Angry because Merlin chose Arthur instead of her, and glad to have played a part in her father’s killer’s death, Morgana picks up the baby and promises him she will kill him too.
Years later, Arthur is a young man and we see him training with his adoptive brother Kay, alongside their father’s Ector. Ector asks Arthur to be Kay’s squire, for a soon to be tournament. They travel to the nearby city, and, of course, Kay realises he forgot his sword. Once arrived to the church, Arthur immediately sees the sword in the stone and picks it up to offer it to Kay. Shocked, Ector and Kay kneel and Ector tells Arthur that he is not their one true king. At the coronation, some of the kings refuse to follow Arthur and they declare him war. Later, Merlin, now at Arthur’s side as his advisor alongside Ector and Kay, tells the king that there is a sword in Avalon for him: Excalibur. They arrive at Avalon where a mysterious lady shows Arthur that there is a sword coming out of the waters, for Arthur to take.

I am finally reading “Airships of Camelot” and I knew it was good, I heard some amazing reviews BUT THIS BOOK IS SO GOOD
I was sold when the author described how Kay had her lungs modified and she could even not sleep for nine days

Kay
“Nighttime hosemanship?” Kay asked.
“Knights – it is a new word, a Saxon word. It means ‘servant’.”
“Servant of horses?” Kay protested jokingly.
