Camelot Kingdom

Lore & Background

The Seven Deadly Sins manga series incorporates elements of Arthurian legend, establishing Camelot as a hidden kingdom protected by the Holy Barrier. Key elements include Excalibur, a significant artifact tied to Arthur's reign; and Mordred, a Chaos Knight created by Arthur who later becomes an antagonist. The Sins never formally allied with Camelot as a kingdom; they fought the Demon King independently, while Arthur's Camelot remained largely separate from that conflict. The sequel, Four Knights of the Apocalypse, further explores these threads, notably with Mordred appearing as an antagonist.
