Destiny

Destiny is a foretold future by the old religion, known by select few throughout Albion.

Individuals with a foretold destiny:
 * Merlin: To aid King Arthur to unite the land of Albion. Also, to walk in Morgana's shadow. He is her destiny and doom.
 * Morgana: To bring back the old ways.
 * Arthur: To unite the land of Albion and become the greatest king the world has ever known.
 * Mordred: To kill King Arthur.
 * Guinevere:To marry Arthur.
 * An alliance between Morgana and Mordred that will be Arthur's downfall.

Creatures capable of knowing one's destiny:


 * Kilgharrah has the ability to know someone's destiny and does his best to help Merlin fufill his. It is unknown if all dragons have this ability.
 * The Druids also have the ability to know ones destiny, namely Merlin's, who is called Emrys by them.
 * The Cailleach told Morgana about her and Emrys' future, which means that she too is aware of the mortals' destinies.
 * Nimueh told Arthur it was not his destiny to die by her hand, although she did not seem to know Merlin's destiny.
 * Taliesin said that he and Merlin were destined to meet, meaning that he is was also aware of the young warlock's, and possibly Arthur and Morgana's futures.
 * After Morgana caused Gwen's banishment from Camelot, Merlin said that she was destined to marry Arthur. However he is most likely not a creature that knows ones destiny, since he could not foresee Mordred and Morgana's future.
