♠ The Community
Who's this Mordred fellow, anyway?
"Mordred or Modred (Welsh: Medraut, Medrod, etc.) is a character in the Arthurian legend, known as a notorious traitor who fought King Arthur at the Battle of Camlann, where he was killed and Arthur fatally wounded. Tradition varies on his relationship to Arthur, but he is best known today as Arthur's illegitimate son by his half-sister Morgause. In earlier literature, he was considered the legitimate son of Morgause, also known as Anna, with her husband King Lot of Orkney. His brothers or half-brothers are Gawain, Agravain, Gaheris, and Gareth." -- Wikipedia

Why "Drawn from the Sea"?
The name is taken from an origin story in which a young King Arthur, upon hearing a prophecy that a child born on May Day will bring about all manner of unpleasantness to him and his kingdom, orders all the babies to which said prophecy could apply rounded up, put in a boat, and cast out to sea. Li'l Mordred is the only survivor.
