Really? Uther conquered the kingdom? Now that I think about it, they do say that. Of course, that's extremely vague and could mean pretty much anything. Was he just walking along one day when he was like, hey look it's a kingdom I think I'll conquer it? That seems implausible. So it's likely that perhaps he was a high nobleman or of royal blood but there was conflict during the sucession and Uther ended up seizing the throne by force. Perhaps it is similar to the Tudor dynasty, a dynasty which really had no legitimate claim to the throne but became king by seizing the throne by force after the chaos of the War of the Roses. That would be my guess but who knows! And as for Uther being a tyrant... the line between a monarch and tyrant is thin and often hard to discern. He was certainly tyrannical toward any user of magic, but in other aspects he was not a terrible king.

Also, thanks for complimenting my punction. I'm glad that all my years of sitting through english class has paid off! I apologize for some of my spelling mistakes though! I know that there were a few. :P
