marguerite_26I've got a bunch of dumb questions about Merlin and canon and such. Does anyone out there know the answers or where I might get them? I'm scared to post this to a giant Merlin comm and be mocked. :P But I will if I need to.
1. Do we know for certain what the ages of Merlin and Arthur are? Are there generally accepted approximate ages? Merlin younger, yes?
2. Is there any kind of lexicon type thing like HP Lexicon where you can easily research stuff that is canon vs. fanon? Please tell this exists somewhere.
3. Is there any site or someone's post that compares BBC's Merlin to Arthurian legend?
4. Is there an easy to read/quick summary somewhere of Arthurian Legend (and yes, I do understand there are many sources, many versions) for someone who never studied it in school or grew up with it steeped in their tea?
Thanks, folks. ♥
