Maybe it's some kind of metephorical ssync with the legends. At the end of the legend, Arthur dies and everyone dies, is imprisoned, or is so swallowed up in misery that they go to a church until they die of old age. Maybe the point of the last series is to destroy the characters so that when the death of the "golden age that hasn't happened yet" comes around, we will actually feel good about everyone on the show being absolutely miserable cuz they were so terrible to each other.
