What actually is Albion and when did it happen?
Albion is either a land or a time that may or may not exist by the last episode and possibly needs uniting or has been united... I used to assume it was just the basic setting of the show, but recently I've discovered it actually isn’t and now I’ve no idea what it actually is. Does anyone actually know?

Albion is a distant future that Merlin and Arthur were destined to bring about. It is something mentioned by Kilgharrah and repeated by Merlin.
“Without you [Merlin], Arthur will never succeed. Without you, there will be no Albion.” Kilgharrah to Merlin (1:01 Dragons Call)

Ashley Way Badge
Hello all!
I was hoping someone would be able to help me. Recently, I've been trying to earn the Ashley Way Badge (make one edit on a Personnel article), but have been unsuccessful. Does anybody know what I have to do to earn it? Or is it an inactive badge now??
Merlin 15th anniversary interview
Merlin's 15th anniversary has passed right by us!
To acknowledge it, Radio Times interviewed Merlin's co-creator Johnny Capps. This is really well worth a read and it's amazing to hear from one of the minds behind Merlin 15 years after its brilliant inception.
Changes
As the heading states. These are changes I would have done to the series.
- Magic: First off while extremely detailed in someways in others it’s extremely vague. This is what I would have done. That according to Gaius he would state that. “Merlin do you even know what Magic is? It’s the power and essence of the world. The infinite and everlasting arcane energy that surrounds and penetrates the world. There is nothing Uther or anyone can do to truly remove it. It is eternal and isn’t bound to time or place. At least the sorcerers of the Old Religion described it as such.” But as far as changes to specific.
- Spells Types: I would have like the series made Telekinesis the most basic forms of magic but also one of the strongest. That it can push, p…
My least favorite Character
I have to tell you guys who my least favorite character in Merlin is, and that is Uther. Here are the reasons, why Uther is my least favorite character. First off, he killed everyone, even children who could use magic, even though Ygraine's death, was HIS own fault, I mean, Nimueh even told him someone would die, meaning he knew someone would die, and it's HIS fault. Not Nimueh's, not Magic's, HIS!!!!!! He blames magic, for HIS mistake, and killed men, women, even children, just because they were sorcerers. Second, he was nothing but a stubborn GOAT, once that a**hole here's the word "magic", he is impossible to talk to. Finally, he forced his, PETTY, hatred of magic, onto everyone around him, so that is all the reasons in which I hate th…
Merlin
I'm currently rewatching Merlin for the like 10th time and I'm going to write a blog about each episode so
Ep 1- So i literally love young Merlin he's so cute and I forgot how much of an ass Arthur was in the beginning, but Gwen is like so smiley with Merlin its cute. Now Uther on the other hand man that guy will never be a favorite. I loved when Merlin used his magic while fighting Arthur, but then again it was kind of risky to do it in front of the king's son. Overall I liked this episode.
The Revival of The Merlin Arena
In the name of Allah!
I never had the chance to see the glorious days of this Wiki, the only thing is I can read about those days, It seems the Wiki is as good as dead, I hope one day comes that everyone would come back with Arthur Pendragon.
However I think that's impossible!
Anyway I did something & I hope this would make this Wiki a little more Active.
The Merlin Arena is back in just before it goes off, I hope that People will come back at least for this feature!
Today is the first day of its revival, I hope that I can improve it by the helps of yours!
At My Master’s Command – A Merlin Fan Fiction (MorganaxOC)
Season 1 Episode 1.5 – Altering Destiny
Kilgarrah: In a land of myth and a time of magic, the destiny of a great kingdom has been altered by a great force of good. Now it rests on the shoulders of two young men. Their names? Alatar and Merlin.
Merlin’s POV
As I walk through the lower town in Camelot, I go over the events of the last few days since I arrived.
I saw a man get beheaded for using magic, then accidentally saved Gaius using my own magic. I met Arthur and we really hit it off – literally! After spending some time in the stocks and meeting Guinevere, Lady Morgana’s maid, I met the Great Dragon who is imprisoned under the castle. This dragon told me that it is my destiny to protect Arthur, who will bring magic back to the land. I still …
Morgana and Arthur (and Morgause): who's the older sibling
Edit: apparently, in 2020's #askmerlin Q&A with Capps and Murphy, the authors stated that Morgana is younger. What to make of this? Usually, in fandoms, the word of the author/s isn't canon (only what is shown on screen/written in book is canon). Also, still doesn't make sense (see below). With that said, I feel is even more necessary a "parentage" section about the debate of the topic below at both Morgana's and Arthur's pages.
--
Hiya, long time no see.
I know this is a very old question (and I'm sure there was more than one discussion about this very topic in the old forums), but I feel its time to erase that line in Morgana's page where is says that Morgana is the Arthur's younger sister (and, accordingly, the same mention at Arthur's pag…
Could Gwain have a stepfather and more family?
I already did a post about this, but I wanted to go into more detail with this theory.
I was reading about Gwaine and his backstory, and I was wondering if there were any reasons in particular that could have resulted in him leaving home. Even if his mother wasn't the best and he didn't get along with his sister it doesn't seem like Gwaine to just leave his family like that. So I was thinking, what if, after his father died and his mother's plea for help was turned away, she married another noble man. If she had found love again and all her attention was on her new husband and she possibly had a child(or two) with this person, it could have resulted in Gwaine running away?. It makes sense to me, and if he didn't get along with his stepfathe…
Arthur and Morgana are related!
Ok. So if you remember from the first few episodes (I’ve only watched the first 6, so no spoilers) Arthur likes Morgana. The title is Arthur and Morgana are related right? Well, yeah they are. Check the links above if you don’t believe me. And Arthur liked Morgana who was his half sister... I’m gonna throw up right now.
did you know...?
did you know that Colin Morgan and Katie Mcgrath are dating??!!! Bradley James and Gorgia King (who played Princess Elena in series 3) were together for three years, but they broke up, and Bradley got with Angel Coulby (Gwen)!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sooooo, Arthur and Gwen are together, and Merlin and Morgana are toghether!!!!! :D
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
can you imagine!!!
Matt smith was ALMOST cast as merlin instead of Colin Morgan!!! I really can' see that working! I don't think that merlin would have been the same series without Colin!! He was so well cast for the part!
Do you think they will ever do a S6 or movie?
I miss Merlin, it was such a great show that should not have ended the way it did. Yes, I know that King Arthur was going to die but why in such a way that left us hanging?
Netflix's "SHEWOLVES OF BRITAIN" Review
"History is written by the victor". A true, well known saying thrown into our daily vocabulary. But male victories tower alarmingly over the women's, who are often believed to be too careful and 'flowery' to partake in politics. They are blamed for becoming stronger under their rule - "perhaps it was an undiagnosed character flaw, but more likely it was Matilda becoming .... a king".
The "She-Wolves of England" portrays the true stories of these incredible women - sharing their stories beyond the marriages and offspring that associated them with power, and often royalty.
An interesting watch that keeps the watcher asking question after question, seeking answers and finding them through a mixture of dramatic re-enactments and the thrilling st…
Series final - fulfilling both destinies
After watching all chapters of the series and reading all reviews, in my opinion I do think Merlin and Arthur both fulfilled their destinies.
The producers did an amazing job showing their destinies and producing a good closure of all 5 seasons.
Here is how I understood the ending and the destinies of both Merlin and Arthur.
Throughout the whole series since the beginning, we heard of the wonderful unified lands of Albion and that magic will finally be allowed and respected. What we didn't realize, it actually has all been done and fulfilled.
Since the start of the series we started to imagine a world of King Arthur with Merlin besides him not hiding his magic and the use of magic in the good way throughout the unified kingdom.
The fact Arthur …
I need the show back
Can you, please, bring the show back? I miss it. It was an amazing show. I still can believe you stopped recording it! So sad!
Analysis and Opinions on Ships in This Show
Hi guys, I am new here, and I thought this would be a nice place for people to analyze and review their feelings on their OTPS and ships on this show. Like how do you feel about Arwen, (Arthur and Gwen) Merthur (Merlin and Arthur) Perwaine (Percival and Gwaine) Mergana (Merlin and Morgana) Mreya (Merlin and Freya) Gwencelot (Gwen and Lancelot) Morgwen (Morgana and Gwen) Morgwaine (Morgana and Gwaine) ArMor (Arthur and Morgana) Gaius and Alice, Uther and Ygraine, Uther and Vivienne, Vivienne and Gorlois, Morgred (Morgues and Cenred) etc. There is a lot to discuss show lets get started. I am ok with all ships, and I expect the same level of decorum to be adhered to by everyone here. If you have an unpopular ship I would love to hear about it…
Merlin and Morgana possible love story
My fellow wiki users, I believe that Morgana loved Merlin for most of the series, I have no shame admitting I am a Mergana shipper, but I have evidence, and to be honest I believe the writes squandered a great romance possibility
Series 1 I believe that Morgana loved and probably still loved Merlin for most of the entire series, and this started around episode 8. Previously she probably just fancied him as a friend from afar, jealous that Gwen had someone so willing to fight for her as Merlin did in 01x03. “She is a lucky woman.” and telling Arthur that she couldn't imagine any person loving her so much. She was grateful that someone cared as much about her only friend as much as she did. It’s obvious she knew the power she possessed with …
I'm back

Happy 7 Year Anniversary Merlin!
Can't believe it has been 7 years since the best show in the universe first premiered!
It has been an honour becoming part of this fandom and I have so many good memories both from the show and fun times on Merlin Wiki.
Kilgharrah said it best when he said that 'the story we have been a part of will live long in the minds of men!'

Request for adminship
Hey guys,
I am asking in this blog to become an admin here. I have a pretty good handle on how to use admin abilities on wikis, I have quite a sharp eidetic memory on everything Merlin (so, if you have any questions about it, I'm your guy), and I love the show.
So yeah, I would very much appreciate your thoughts on what you all think of me being an admin.
Merlin Insults
Hi! I'm currently writing a Merlin fanfic and I'm having a difficult time finding insults/slang that Merlin and Arthur can call each other. I have just a handful that are used the most throughout the show, but it would be super helpful if anyone could provide me with more.
Thanks!

p.s. this is also my first time using this site, so sorry if I mucked anything up in this post somehow...
Arthurian figures who would have made great characters in the show
I was thinking what fugures in Arthurian lore would have made intriguing characters in the show and I came up with the following ideas:
Sir Dinadan - the most carefree, the most rational and merry knight. He has very practical views concerning courtly love and is universally loved in Camelot.
Sir Dagonet - Arthur's fool. He is a comedic character who is made a knight as a jest, The intriguing thing about Dagonet is that he accepts what he is and doesn't try to be something different.
The Green knight/Bertilak - one of the most cerebral and mysterious characters. You can watch the short animated film "Sir Gawain and the Green knight" on Youtube. The poem is very difficult to read.

The father and the dragon - envisioning an expressionist view of Merlin's mindscape
The user Machairodus suggested that "The Last Dragonlord" takes place inside the main character's head. So I thought that the episode should be re-shot for this to work, using characteristics of german expressionist cinema. Expressionism is defined by the protagonist's perception overwritting the objective reality in the sense that everything is distorted from the point of view of the troubled male and anxious hero. One of the earliest films that defined the current was "The cabinet of doctor Caligari" in which the main story is actually the fantasy of a madman. One of the last and greatest expressionist movies is "Shadows: a night hallucination" which is self-explanatory. In "The cabinet" the buildings are unnaturaly distorted. And the …
The strange case of Morgana Pendragon
"Dark is my heart. The greatest of all secrets.". These words were spoken by Deathshead from Wolfenstein: The New Order. He is a nazi mad scientist and as far as villains go, you can't get more campy and ridiculous. Yet, Deathshead is one of the more nueanced nazi antagonists in recent years which is odd, considering Morgana, who had the makings of a wholesome three-dimensional character and became a typical baddie.
Dark is her heart and the greatest secret is how she fell from grace. We had a mastervul beginning with season 2 and yet with season 3, we had a cunning, egotistical, murderous witch, who had almost nothing in common with the corageous, rebellious and compassionate gal before. We deserved an explanation. The time jump here, more…
Great one-off villains
I was thinking of the best one-off villains in the show. My list won't include Alvarr because I think he was meant for one more appearance at least. Absent will be also Ruadan becuse he appeared in two epsidoes.
4. Myror - he was a skillful and cold character. Just as an assassin should be. He had this cool/swagg aura. He could be charming, when he needed to be and was inventive and smart. A great foil for Merlin as far as non-magical adversaries go.
3.The Witchfinder - he had a plethora of wicked qualities - ruthless, egotistical, deceptive and arrogant. He had a striking. if anahcronistic look to him and was very good at his job, which was, surprisingly, finding witches and warlocks.
2. The Gleeman - another very skilled assassin who tried …
Is anyone still around?

The ages of "The Quartet"
I've always been curious to know how old are the members of "The Quartet" (id est Merlin, Arthur, Morgana and Gwen). I read many posts and comments on the wiki, but I want to show you my calculation.
From the oldest to the youngest:
Morgana should be the oldest of the four, because Katie McGrath confirmed in an interview that Morgana is the oldest of "The Quartet". I assumed she is little less than 2 years younger than him. She should be 22-23 in Series 1 and 30 when she dies!
Gwen is younger than Morgana and I think she is slightly older than Arthur, I think she is 21-22 in Series 1. So she is 29 when she is crowned queen of Camelot.
Arthur should be younger than Morgana. His actual age is easy to calculate, because the Great Purge ended 20 ye…

To all who might be reading this, hello. My name, age and location hold no importance in any of your lives, so I shall not list them here. I ask that you respect this, and do not ask me to reveal any of these things. Should you choose to do so, I hope you will not be offended by any lack of response. What I can tell you is a bit about my personality, as it can be described in brief, and anyone with questions not pertaining to any of the subjects above listed would be welcome to ask. But I digress. I joined this site because I have fallen hopelessly in love with the show Merlin. Having finished all of the episodes, I am now in the process of getting over my severe post-merlin depression. I am failing at that, and so I arrived here, …
Can I say how much I LOVE this show and wiki?
Out of all the wikis I joined, this one is my favorite, it has friendly users, comments, lots of pages, very informative and a lot more.
I love Merlin, and always will have a very special place in my heart. I'll stay on this wiki, even if no one else does, because Merlin is the best!
Is Anyone Out There? o,o
So,I literally just got connected to this about..eh five minutes ago.
This place literally looks like a ghost town but that's probably due to the fact that everyone knows that the whole thing over although my brain tries to convince me otherwise. BUT I still see MANY new fanfictions being made everyday and updated.
On the site Fanfiction.net if you haven't heard of it I suggest you go and read some stuff on there.Most of them are pretty decent.
Anyway why should this go blank if that isn't. Is it because there is nothing new to say?
I think there are multiple things to think about and probably share. Also makes me sad when I see that Merlin has been dying on YouTube. Excuse me guys if anyone reads this and gets offended. But really if I had th…
