Romance of the Five Kingdoms; Water Kingdom

[MelkorsHubris]

Howdy y'all, Bleobaris of Judea here. For the past couple years I've been working on an animated series which heavily incorporates European folklore, mythology and fairytales into the world-building. Think "Avatar the Last Airbender" but without the Orientalism.

I'm here to discuss the plot/story arcs involving the Water Kingdom, which thanks to Dr.Corey Olsen I have been able to flesh out with Arthurian life. Although heavily leaning on Malory's penultimate version, Gaelic and other versions also have their influences.
