The Age of Promise



                                   and how Arthur’s Name Came to Be





                 Back in the mists of time when chaos sought dominion over our universe, an event
                 unfolded in the constellation known as Draco that would weave its way into our
                 history. An icy ball was knocked off course and slowly began its journey towards our
                 planet. This was no ordinary comet as, deep within it, was an egg and, within this egg,
                 was a secret.


                 As this lonely traveller roamed the vastness of space and approached our Earth, the

                 heat of the sun made it expand into a spectacular flaming comet. This transformation
                 was observed by the wise men of the small island nation of Britannia and they
                 watched its progress for weeks with awe and wonder.


                 Throughout history comets have been the harbingers of change; they can bring about
                 either the rise or fall of fortunes. The young King Uther watched nervously from
                 Tintagel, his castle fortress in the South West of his kingdom. This celestial display
                 was unlike anything that Uther had seen before, and the comet had a strange shape
                 that had him perplexed. What could it mean? Would it bring him power and prosperity
                 or war and destruction?


                 Uther urgently demanded that his most trusted advisers and astrologers ascertain
                 what the timing and shape of the comet could portend, as it appeared to be that of a
                 blazing Dragon. This was a momentous observation that required immediate action
                 to ensure that this astronomical herald would not bring about disaster for their young                                                   The Age of Promise Puzzle

                 Uther decreed that he would take the name of Pendragon, meaning Chief Dragon or
                 Leader. Then Uther Pendragon emblazoned his banners, crests and his armoured                                                Make sure that you have downloaded and installed the Pen Dragon AR app

                 The name Pendragon was not really meant for him, however, as the true title of Pen                                                  Rearrange the letters below to reveal the First magical Name

                 With a mighty roar, the comet crashed close to an abandoned watchtower. In time
                 the impact settled and the earth cooled, revealing the egg. The little star child within
                 knew it had finally reached its home.
