According to legend, Uther had fallen ill during his wars against the Saxons. As the fighting turned south for the king, he insisted on leading the army himself, despite the sickness. At Verulamium, his enemies mocked him as "The Half-Dead King," sickly upon his horse. But the king's decision proved fateful; it was Uther's forces that emerged victorious.

Note: This card was never printed. The final version from the design team has been spoiled as part of a prize to dedicated players on the Anachronism forums. There's no telling whether or not this card will be printed, and if it were, that it'd have the same text as the spoiled version.
As is, one will notice missing elements, since the card hasn't been finished. There's no artist or flavor text; ability titles are English, rather than Old English.
