Arthur knows that age and illness are bringing his rule to an end, but Britain remains exposed to Saxon, Pictish and other raiders as migration destabilises Gaul and the Channel coast. Pestilence has reduced the population, crops have failed and the kingdom lacks the reserves needed for another long war.
Before he dies, Arthur attempts to establish a succession and a settlement capable of surviving without his personal authority. The last campaign asks whether the military system he created can protect Britain after its founder is gone, and whether a ruler formed by war can finally leave his people something other than another generation of conflict.
