'''Camelot''' was the domain of the mythical [[human]] ruler, [[King Arthur]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Creation of Camelot (short story)|The Creation of Camelot]]'') | '''Camelot''' was the domain of the mythical [[human]] ruler, [[King Arthur]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Creation of Camelot (short story)|The Creation of Camelot]]'')A ccording to some accounts, they were mere fiction in [[the Doctor's universe]] but actually existed in [[Arthur's World|another world]]. It seemed to connect to the [[20th century]] of the Doctor's native universe in [[Carbury]] near [[Lake Vortigern]], in rural [[England]], via an [[interstitial vortex]]. | ||
Upon coming acrosses knights of Camelot who wielded energy weapons, the [[Seventh Doctor]] guessed that this Camelot belonged to an [[alternate Earth]] where advanced technology developed alongside [[magic]]. For example, Ancelyn told Brigadier [[Winifred Bambera]] that cars did not exist on Arthur's world. However, flying machines called [[ornithopter]]s were used as transport. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[One Fateful Knight (short story)|One Fateful Knight]]'', [[TV]]: ''[[Battlefield (TV story)|Battlefield]]'') According to some accounts, he was correct; one claimed that, unlike other [[alternative timeline]]s, Arthur's world was a natural alternative that had sprung from the universe, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[No Future]]'') while according to another, it was one of many [[alternate timeline]] versions of Camelot created by the [[Guardian of Magic]] from [[the Druse]] as she reset her "game" with the [[Guardian of Might]] over and over.

However, according to other accounts, Camelot was part of England's history in the Doctor's own universe. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Creation of Camelot (short story)|The Creation of Camelot]]'', ''[[One Fateful Knight (short story)|One Fateful Knight]]'', ''[[A Honeycomb of Souls (short story)|A Honeycomb of Souls]]'') Upon returning to Camelot and becoming [[Merlin]], the [[Eighth Doctor]] realised that his earlier guess about alternate timelines had been wrong: King Arthur's knights wielded advanced technology because it had been gifted to them by an earlier self-declared "[[Merlin (One Fateful Knight)|Merlin]]", actually a [[Renegade Time Lord]] who wished to sow chaos in Earth's causal nexus.
