User blog comment:Morgana High Priestess/Which reign is better: Uther's or Arthur's?/@comment-5591912-20130120115900/@comment-5674726-20130121000004

he didn't achieve anything except for the Round Table and freedom for the druids.

I wouldn't be so sure about the latter.

Arthur has claimed that the Druids are treated with respect but Merlin - who we can safely assume would be up to date on any developments re. Arthur's attitude towards magic - still found Daegal's story about how he couldn't seek help for his ill sister except in secret because Druids weren't welcome credible, and Kara sided with Morgana and chose to die rather than submit to Arthur, viewing him as a tyrant.

I'd say that the most probable scenario is that, while Arthur doesn't hunt down Druid camps or execute people if they have the Druid tattoo, Druids are still forbidden to use magic and will be executed if they do.

That's not freedom.
