Great source book!

The Pendragon books by Green Knight Publishing are on sale here at Paizo for $1 each.

This book serves as a great source book - listing important people and places with a brief description. If you are not that familiar with Arthurian legend this is nice to have by your side as you read other Arthurian books.

I recommend you pick this up along with several other books in the line. Hey, they are only $1 each - grab the whole line for $13!

This compendium is a must for anyone thinking about running an Arthurian related game.

Possibly the most valuable resource lies in describing the major characters and how they have evolved over time: We see characters such as Gawain and Merlin, and how they have been interpreted in different eras. The Companion illustrates by example how standards of what is "right and noble" have changed since the Middle Ages. This information is easily applied to any game set in a medieval or quasi-medieval world.

I did not buy my copy through Paizo (I've had it for years), but I highly recommend this book to anyone with even a modicum of interest in the age of Chivalry (hint: it's not always what you expect!).
