The legend of King Jon I "the Great," the perfect king who ruled during a Golden Age with the Druid, TBD, at his side, but fell to treachery, and now sleeps, waiting for Generica's hour of greatest need.

Tropes

Arthurian Legend; Shrouded In Myth

Story Basics

  • Son of a previous great-but-flawed king who failed, tragically, to unite the kingdoms, before being murdered
  • Jon was carried off by [Druid] and hidden with a foster family, raised as a normal kid
  • Jon accidentally identified as king—something to do with the Sword ("Sword in the Tree"?)
  • Jon leads the Genericans against the Northraiders and drives them out of Imperia; declared king
  • The Golden Age: Castle Royal built; the Capital founded; Knights of the Ring formed (Ring-Table, &c.); Jon married
  • Quest for the Holy Artifact
  • Treachery involving the queen
  • Final battle, and Jon's death

Notes

  • King Jon the Great = King Arthur
  • Holy Artifact = Holy Grail
  • Sword of Kings = Excalibur
  • Knights of the Ring = Knights of the Round Table
    • Each wore a ring to signify membership
    • The Ring Table (round table w/ "hole" in the middle)
  • Castle Royal = Camelot
  • [Druid] = Merlin—maybe still alive?
