Treguard

Nice debut well done!

I'm wondering if there's a bit of a LOTR reference in Leo's quest, when Hordriss appears on the bridge and says "You really cannot pass, you know ... You'll just have to go back, or perhaps go down". Reminds me of Gandalf telling the Balrog "Go back to the Shadow! You cannot pass" on the Bridge of Khazad-dûm.
Check this out!
Treguard: Aragorn
Merlin: Gandalf
Mogdred: Morgoth
Hordris: Saruman
Lord Fear: Sauron
Grenaldine: Radagast
Ariadne: Shelob or Ungolliant
Sylvester hands: Golem (Smeagol)
Pickle: Legolas
Aowen: Velda
Bomptous: Gimli
Arwen: Gundrada
Olaf: Boronir in the animated version
Cavern Wights: Barrowites
Glaurung: Red dragon
Smaug: Owen
Ha, I'd forgotten seeing this post before, but I had come to many of the same conclusions (Merlin = Gandalf, Hordriss = Saruman, Grimaldine = Radagast, Fear = Sauron, Ariadne = Shelob etc). I also had Oakley = Treebeard, and I thought the Gruagach would be Morgoth. Red Death seems to be based on Ancalagon the Black, considering what happened to him in the end.

Mogdred's name is obviously an allusion to Mordred of Arthurian legend, but I wonder if there's a Tolkien influence in there too. A couple of his evil characters were named Gothmog in the Elvish language, where the Mog part is an adjective meaning 'tyrannous, cruel, oppressive', and the Goth part is a noun meaning 'dread'. So a partial translation gives you 'Dread Mog', as in "Dread Mog who causes all disruption/confusion". Stick the adjective before the noun as we do in English, adjust the spelling for your Camelot reference, and you end up with 'Mogdred'.

I thought Legolas was related to Pickle cause they look quite similar to each other.
I'd heard of Lord Of The Rings when i was younger and had no idea of all the mentions of Lord Of The Rings in Knightmare until i found this forum by chance.
I think elves are quite nice.
Read somewhere once that elves can play tricks on humans. So can fairies.
One little question...... You're walking along in your local town... Where you live... On a windy day.... When what looks like a folded ten pound note catches your eye..... A brown ten pound note...... You run away after it and find it has gone under a motor..... You look under the motor to see where the money went..... After bending down and looking underneath you find...... A brown leaf.
The question is...... Have you not been playing attention and chased a simple folded up leaf.... Or is there an elf nearby?
Can elves make their own money out of leaves?
Always keep your wits close and your smarts even closer...... Friends.
