The Great Purge

The Great Purge
The Great Purge was an event in which Uther Pendragon banned magic from Albion.

History
When his barren wife, Igraine, could not have an heir to the Camelot throne, he had Nimueh concieve him one. But this meant that for a life to be given, another life must be taken and Igraine perished in childbirth. Uther banned all practises of magic, exiling Nimeuh from the court. He then began the Great Purge.
