Merlin has magical powers and arrives at the city of Camelot, after his mother arranges for him to become an apprentice of Gaius. He discovers that the king, Uther Pendragon, has outlawed magic and has imprisoned the last dragon deep under the city. The dragon informs him that Merlin has an important destiny to protect Uther’s son, Arthur, who will bring forth a great Kingdom. When he meets Arthur for the first time he discovers that he is arrogant and a bully, but after he saves Arthur’s life, he is rewarded with a job in the Royal Household as Arthur’s manservant, and they become close friends. Arthur is unaware of Merlin’s magical ability, as Merlin has to keep it a secret or face execution at the hands of Uther.
Morgana is Uther’s ward with the power of prophetic foresight, which frightens her and which she keeps secret. Gwen is her maid servant and close friend.
The first series focused on the development of Merlin and his friendship with Arthur. The second series focuses more on development of the other cast members. Some of the central themes of the series are the budding romance between Arthur and Gwen and Morgana’s struggle to control her powers.
