      Arthur probably didn’t exist. Guinevere certainly didn’t. Even if they did, there’s no reason to assume any particular location would be the location of their tombs.

      Plus, according to the legend, Arthur’s supposed to be alive and in the mystical island of Avalon, waiting until he is needed to return and become king again. These guys needed to look up their Geoffrey of Monmouth.

      Basically, it would be like digging to find the tomb of Uncle Sam and his wife.

        I just had the most amazing idea for a post-apocalyptic roleplay campaign.

        Or they had tombs made for them and they remained empty because Arthur is alive on the mystical island of Avalon

        Yaknow, pharaoh pyramid rules - they built those suckers when the dude was still alive. But one dude just didn’t have to use his “pyramid” cause he floating on an island.

        No joke: Uncle Sam was a real guy and Ive been to his grave. I forget if his wife was there (or if he had one).
