I honestly had no idea that Morgana was central to the storyline. I was beginning to suspect she was important now but I merely saw her as
La Belle Dame sans Merci. The Arthurian idea of a strong woman being the downfall of all good men. As a player I merely enjoyed seeing this campaign's Sorceress shine, like in our previous campaign where another Sorceress quickly became someone to fear.
My character is deeply afraid of her. Not because he sees her as wrong or evil. But because he sense her anger and knows how powerful she is and that makes her a very very dangerous person. But he also knows that right know she is their only hope so an alliance is neccessary. As a player I love her character and cant wait to see how she is going to be our doom :)
And I agree. Recruiting new players has met with little success in the past. It is rare to find players like you and I will
hate to see our little merry band of brothers go our seperate ways.

Also, it's fun for me to write in really lofty English, but would everyone prefer that we write the story in more conversational modern English? Would that make participating a little easier?
Not at all! It will ruin the fun if you ask me. If my character is challenged by another knight then I want him to speak lofty English and not just say "I am going to cut you up, booooi!". Personally my English is good enough to storm a castle but not really good enough to play the great diplomat and emmissary to foreign courts. I love the quests though and see it as part of the story but I am out of my element so I am just trying to remember the old Ivanhoe and Robin Hood movies and see how you guys write. I love it :)
