Westminster (0-19): Long before it was usurped by<br />

the Christian Church, the site of Westminster, outside the<br />

walls of London, was a pagan shrine to the Thames<br />

River. Boats were blessed to bring fish to them, or for<br />

safety from storms and disasters. (Ambient 2d20, Divine<br />

Miracle 3d20, Bless 2d20)<br />

Whitehawk (N-20): An ancient hillfort, garrisoned by<br />

the Regnenses tribe and then captured by Aelle’s landing<br />

parties. The Saxons abandoned the site soon after.<br />

Wilmington (0-20): The outline of the Giant of<br />

Windover Hill is carved into a hillside here, where he<br />

was killed by a stone thrown by the Giant of Firle<br />

Beacon (q.v.). The Windover giant was subsequently<br />

buried in the barrow at the top of the hill. A Roman in<br />

a golden coffin is rumored to be buried beneath the outline<br />

of the giant. Wilmington’s church has an ancient<br />

yew tree on its grounds, used for Pagan ceremonies<br />

before the church was built. Nearby is Hunter’s Burg, a<br />

long barrow haunted by the Wild Hunt. (Ambient 4d20,<br />

Summon Wild Hunt 5d20)<br />

Windsor Castle (5. Windlesora) (N-19): One of<br />

Ambrosius Aurelius’ forts, built on the edge of Windsor<br />

Forest. It was a frontier keep, meant to protect Logres<br />

against Saxon raiders. Octa and Eossa were captured<br />

here in 490. It was not upgraded after Badon.<br />

Ruler: Castellan<br />

Vassal of: King Arthur Pendragon<br />

Windsor Forest (N-19): A dark and forbidding wood,<br />

haunted by the Wild Hunt. (Ambient 4d20, Summon<br />

Faerie Wild Hunt 5d20)<br />

Woking (5. Woccing) (N19): The center of the<br />

Woccingas theod until Badon, after which King Arthur<br />

took it as part of his demesne.<br />

Wye (5. Wioh) (P-20): The capital of the Weowara<br />

theod, it was given to the Bishop of Rochester after<br />

Badon. Monks drive the Saxon peasants hard in the fields,<br />

and have converted them (by force) to Christianity.<br />

Ruler: Bishop of Rochester<br />

Ypwinesfleot (M. Ebbsfleet) (P-19): The landingplace<br />

of Hengist and Horsa in 446. It is located on the<br />

southwest corner of the island, opposite the Roman fort<br />

of Rutupiae (Richborough) (q.v.).
