In Tales of Albion we will open the tomes of the ancients, the annals of the heroes, the lore of the monsters, to tell a new history of Britain - a history with all the dragons, witches, ghosts, monsters, giants and legendary heroes left in. We will not tell you what to believe, but we will ask you to grant us one thing: suspend the skepticism for a time, and allow yourself to, if only for a moment, really ask the question: what if?

In this preface to The Tales of Albion, that we’re calling ‘The Albion Charter’, we want to introduce you to a new kind of British historiography; a new way of doing British History. It is history with all the weird bits left in. It is historiography that includes, accounts for and accepts, myths, legends, folklore and fables as part of the historical narrative. This is a British history with all the dragons, witches, ghosts, monsters, giants and legendary heroes gathered in. We do some sifting work, rejecting some stories as purely ridiculous, or constructions entirely of human design. We are calling this ‘Albionic History’.
This is the world of the Tales of Albion. We are not asking you to accept it as truth or as fact. Nor are we even claiming that all of this is truth. Instead, we are asking the question ‘What if?’ Adding all the myths, legends, stories and folklore into a pre-established medieval understanding of history. So, as you enter into Albion, and its history, quiet your disbelief for a while, suspend the skepticism for a time, and allow yourself to, if only for a moment, really ask the question: what if?
