Requirements:
A wizened
druid who has spent too long on the Other Side and fallen into the
manipulations of the fairy queen Morgan le Fay.
Background:Cynwal comes from a long line of Druids. Perhaps it is this deep
history with the Other Side that has made him so easy for Morgan le
Fay to turn to her service. Then again, it could be his small size,
cowardly personality and suspicious nature. Cynwal first encountered
Morgan while searching the Other Side for tools of vengeance to use on
a knight who had offended Cynwal's pride. Morgan supplied those tools
and as easy as that, Cynwal was hers to control. For one of such
unredeeming character as Cynwal, his loyalty has been surpising, and
he seldom shirks the duties she gives him.Stats:

Adventure Seeds:* Cynwal has managed to sneak away with a clipping of Arthur's hair.
Merlin insists that hair be returned, for Morgan could do great evil
with it. The player knights must try to chase down Cynwal and a band
of Morgan's evil knights before Cynwal retreats to the Other Side with
his treasure. This will be difficult as Cynwal has had a few days to
prepare some spells for those following his trail.
* A strange wolf has been seen haunting a local castle. Several
babies have disappeared and the populace is looking to their lord for
aid. Will his knights be able to discover the wolf is in fact Cynwal,
stealing children for his mistress? And if they do, will they be able
to confront him in his sacred space, where many Glamourous creations
await the unwary.
* Arthur has been seen riding about the countyside causing all kinds
of havoc by making strange demands of the people. This seems odd to
everyone at Camelot, for Arthur hasn't left the castle in weeks.
Loyal knights are needed to track down this false Arthur and stop him
from destroying the people's faith in their leader. They must also
try to repair the damage to Arthur's name that has already been done.
Will the knights be able to stop Cynwal from this terrible deed? This
will be hard, for Cynwal is rumored to be able to take the form of any
man. He could even be disguised as one of the loyal knights out
hunting him.
