Oops! Yes I did mean Teragard. :P

While Teragard would just be a convenient substitute for Britain, it actually could be a neat coincidence, since King's Ransom is required for both One of a Kind and eventually Tales of Nomad, both of which offer some setup for Teragard.

If they went for a full reword they even could utilize the proximity to that Terragardian (Fire warrior dude) in the temple of Ikov.

That's somehow even more ridiculous than just leaving them in. Why do we get a magical excalibur then?

I always just wrote it off that Merlin teleported them here from Britain, which would canonically be a colony on Teragard. Headcanon Haven, where everything is made up and the points don't matter.

I always just wrote it off that Merlin teleported them here from Britain, which would canonically be a colony on Teragard. All things considered, it would be real mess to try and separate all of that out. And other than healing Excalibur is not even that impressive. I am not saying we should get the Godsword to rework the quests, just that removing the quests, miniquesting it or reworking leads to a real tangle or riddle to straighten out.

It would end up as a major job as you'd have to build and entirely new lore revolving around a Gielinorian Anima Mundi created tool, that we just happen to use as an offhand weapon. Then you'd have to rebuild the Lore around both Arthur and Morgana so that it would make sense that they have little to nothing to do with the Kingdom they are located in. It would end up as an associated independent realm, rather than a province of Kandarin. So the ranger's guild and the Legends Guild would be part of those independents as far as a boarder goes, which would place Ardougne right on the boarder of the Associated realms as well.

Teragard is not required at all, just a redrawing of the actual boarders, lot of countries are in Europe, that does not mean they are in fact one country. It could be said to have developed out of a buffer zone, during the god wars, between the Fremennik to the northm where gnomes and elves could have been skirting Ardougne northward as well, and invading Saradominists to the east.

In fact there is enough going on around that arear for the Independents to have created all the Guilds as well. The people living there simply wanted the troubles to move on. And so you end up with Associated Powers rather then provinces of Kandarin. Taking and keeping them by force was a nest of hornets more trouble than they were worth.

Headcanon transcript for such an area: Godwars, a Sargent to his squad as they patrol this no mans land (Camelot, Seers, ect)

Sargent: "Listen up you miserable lot and you might just survive this tour. Keep you eyes peeled and I mean check every last bush and rock. The locals don't like us and they want us gone in a bad way and don't mind how they do it. If you see anything left laying around, or any buildings do not go in and touch nothing!"

Squaddie: Why's that Sarg, are you afraid of a few booby traps? *sniggers*

Sargent: "No sunshine, they booby trap everything! Fremmies think they are doing such a great job repelling our forces. They haven't seen this scum yet and no one has been able to bring them to heel. Just consider them behind every last bush and blade of grass waiting to quietly drag your corpse off to a shallow grave and you might just get to go home. Now move out and stay frosty."

Of course a full re-work would be needed, but something like Demon Slayer. Basically the same story, just a few new elements.
It'd be a hell of a lot more work though. With Demon Slayer all you really needed to keep was Silverlight, it's history didn't really play a big factor.

With changing Camelot, suddenly you've gotta change all references to it, like with Lathas and the Elf Questline.
We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.

Just change the dialogue. I don't think it would be that hard.
