The Twentieth Day of October, 1886
Everything after the game’s Prologue has been, in essence, a flashback: the backstory. Here, one last bit of “history” is presented—Galahad’s kangaroo court trial—and then The Order: 1886 brings us back to the grim present, to the reality that hits like an ice-cold dunking.
A shackled Sir Galahad kneels in abject humiliation before his brethren, the Council of Knights. Witnesses present the evidence against him: Igraine, Lucan, and yes, even the oily Lord Hastings himself.
Despite the gravity and truth of what Galahad knows, he is given no opportunity to present a defense, or to even speak. In solemn succession, Knight after Knight—including his oldest, most loyal friends—finds Galahad guilty of treason. Then the Lord Chancellor renders the verdict.
