The Age of Promise
and how Arthur’s Name Came to Be

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

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.
