The Descendants of the Round Table were a secret organization active in England from sometime after the Viking expansion until at least the Victorian era, claiming descent from the Women of the Mist. Though using the same name as another group, their aims were diametrically opposed: while the other group sought to to obtain and utilize Excalibur as a means to control and rule all of England while antagonizing the Women of the Mist, this incarnation knew of the weapon's location and carried on the mission of the Women of the Mist in protecting it. Their symbol was a crest with three crowns.[1]
In 1870, the Descendants of the Round Table were the targets of a Templar attack, that led to the death of a number of their knights, such as Ian.[2] The Templar agent responsible, along with a band of ruthless thugs, invaded their headquarters, intent on interrogating the leader of the group, Amelia Fairchild. Fairchild, though tied down, resisted the attempt bravely before being saved by a group of Assassins brought by fellow Descendant Chloe Taylor Cavendish. Threat averted, she thanked her saviors and awarded them with a prophecy about the location of the sword, seeing them as "deserving of all the honors befitting true knights".[1]
