The Morganian Resurgence- Siege of camelot

When the mutespell broke, magic was set loose. Alongside camelot's return a plot, 1000 years in the making was approaching fruition. Morgana and her allies, who for generations were forced to hide in the shadows due to the mutespell's effect started to move plans and after 6 years of rising tensions, clashes with magus errants which had widdled down the merlinian's numbers and the gathering of forces, on the fourth of march 1991 the newly formed "Arcane liberation front" struck against camelot at the heart of london.
Declaring their intentions to take the castle, morgana pleaded with the british goverment to not intervine in the battle, claiming that their true enemies were those who held magic in their exclusive grasp, the british in response announced intentions to remain neutral ordering the super powered population to not intervene in the battle, perhaps hoping for magic to become more readily open to their own ends.
As a siege was laid on the castle, the order found themselves at a dire situation, outnmubered, outgunned and with double agents revealing themselves within the castle walls, it seemed that camelot's era would end, and as the walls were breached chaos erupted.
As magus errands tried to defend their homes, losing more and more of their number, some of the more unruly parts of morgana's alliance started spilling into the streets of london beyond the castle in search of victims, causing the superheroic community to react despite orders to not intervine. with the reinforcements from london's heroes, morgana and her army were pushed back into the shadows, leaving camelot wounded but standing.
As a result of the castle's near destruction, a radical vote was called, one that would open the training and secrets of camelot to those who would dedicate themselves to it, even if they were not noble born, a decision which eventually led to the founding of the "Merlinian open school of the arcane arts" 2 years later.

The Conflict

Prelude

After the mutespell broke, the merlinian order returned to the world with new vigor, it's magus errands were sent out to subdue the reemerging creatures of the wilds, some were greeted as heroic figures, attaining status similar to the world's super heroes, others not so much.
As the years went by, the rules of camelot's admition which only allowed noble born children to be taught in the ways of magic, led to a steep decline in the Magus errand's numbers and power, with many growing older and weaker or dying in the line of duty and with little to no fresh blood to replace them.
Morgana on the other hand, has prepared for a millenia for this very moment, gathering allies which were now free again to move about and use their powers without being muted. Taking advantage of the new circumstance the new arcan liberation front began emerging and recruiting those who's gifts have been surpresed for a thousand years, promising vengence and freedom, growing in number and strength.
In those leading months and years before the assault on camelot, morgana and her allies worked to counter the efforts of the magus errants, killing several of the knights and dwindling camelot's might as they do. Yet others used their powers to become vigilantes, swaying public opinion of wild magic in certain areas, either as a facade or a genuine desire to help, depending on the case.

Battlefield

The castle of camelot, which sits in near trafalgar square at the banks of the thames river was besieged and breached, with most of the fighting happening on the castle's grounds, with some spilling to the surrounding streets.
