Interesting take on Uther and what led him to turn to magic for a son. Well done.

Thanks so much! I do love Uther. He's such an interesting character.

That fits Uther's character to a T. Goodness, what an arrogant jerk.

Thanks so much. He really was so arrogant.

If it wasn't for the horrific purge, I'd say this über-arrogant prick had it coming...

archaeologist_d February 9 2022, 00:16:02 UTC

Unfortunately, everyone else got hurt. Thanks.

People will do desperate things to get what they want that badly. If he knew the cost would be Ygraine's life I wonder if he would have went through with it...

Well done!

Uther was more desperate to prove himself than anything else. He probably thought that the cost wouldn't touch him and his. I think he probably wouldn't have gone through with it had he known but he was too arrogant to accept any cost. Thanks.
