Merlin's magical prowess was renown — as the son of a devil and a virtuous maiden, he had tremendous power but used it only for good. Later on it was Merlin who placed the sword in the stone — which only young Arthur could remove and become England's King.

This is Merlin's room — full of exotic and marvelous portents, omens, objects and animals (can you find the owl, hedgehogs, raven, unicorn and the puffin?). Strange things are afoot here — notice how the bottles on the tables have faces and seem to be shape-shifting...and is the ink bottle writing something? - SG
