Small wonder that some of them are upset about it, even though I don't condone personal attacks about anyone's beliefs.

I've been struggling with this attitude ever since I became active in online fandoms more than a decade ago.

Arthur's Quest update

Chapter 14: The Legacy of the Lady of the Lake has been posted to FF.Net and to hiddenrealms. Lancelot conquers the cursed castle of Dolorous Guard and learns something about his own destiny. Enjoy!
