Evony General Merlin’s Backstory

“Merlin, a name shrouded in the mists of ancient Britain. It is said that Merlin emerged in the 5th century, an era of chaos and strife. With his extraordinary wisdom and profound insight, he became a revered advisor among kings and lords.

Merlin’s most legendary feat is his prophecy and guidance of King Arthur’s ascent to the throne, helping him achieve greatness. He is depicted as the unseen hand behind Arthur’s early growth, using his wisdom to help Arthur rise above the chaos and become the heroic king who united the tribes of Britain and defended against formidable enemies. In the tales of the Knights of the Round Table, Merlin deeply ingrained the values of honor, justice, and unity in the hearts of men.

Merlin’s saga has been endlessly reimagined in literature and art, and he remains a timeless symbol of wisdom and power, igniting countless imaginations about the realm of fantasy. Merlin’s legend transcends the boundaries of time, proving that wisdom and ideals are the true magic, a magic that can span ages and forever illuminate the human spirit.”
