Salisbury is one of the most exciting places
to live in Arthurian Britain. It is densely pop-
ulated, and many of the great events of the
campaign occur here: The cataclysmic Battle
of Badon, which ends the Saxon threat for the
remainder of Arthur’s reign, happens nearby,
and so does the Battle of Camlann that results
in the death of Arthur and his knights.
Many interesting places are within an easy
ride of Underditch: Stonehenge—most famous
of the ancient monuments—and Amesbury
Abbey, where Arthur’s mother retires early
in the campaign, and where Queen Guenever
retires near its end. Many ancient landmarks lie
further afield, notably the dozens of prehistoric
mounds, stone circles, and the unusual White
Horse. The site of Camelot, the future capital
city, is also nearby. Salisbury is thus a good
county for new knights.
Remember that your characters do not
know this much about other regions; characters
who hail from other parts of Britain do not
know this much about your home, either. This
ability to separate personal knowledge from
character knowledge is one of the hallmarks
of good roleplaying.
Details
The Count of Salisbury keeps a personal
household of at least a half-dozen knights and
may call upon many more in times of war. At
any given time, a patrol of his knights roams
the county, keeping an eye out for Saxon ban-
dits and foreign knights and administering low
justice as required.
Hard-riding knights can reach Sarum from
any location within the county (Uffington
excepted) within one day. In an emergency,
it takes one day for messengers to go out and
another for the knights to ride in, assuming
they are at home. Thus, within two days most of
the county’s knights can be mustered at Sarum.
Certainly within four days of sending out word,
almost all the knights can reach Sarum.
Special Holdings
St. Stephen’s Abbey in Sarum, Ogbury.
Distant Parcels
Count Salisbury holds much of the county
outright, mostly since Time Immemorial; after
his marriage to Lady Catherine in 517, he adds
Uffington to his demesne.
Salisbury County consists of all the hold-
ings of the Count of Salisbury along with
his vavasours.
