Lady of the Sea in Avalon: rules and revealed roles

Lady of the sea

The Lady of the sea is this site's alternative to Lady of the lake. It gives more detail about evil players: a visible evil role instead of only an evil loyalty result.

Rules

  1. The player to the right of the first leader starts with the token. Use it before team selection for missions 3, 4 and 5, if reached, with no extra check after a rejected team.
  2. Choose another player who has never held this Lady. Read the private result, announce good or an evil role, then pass the token to the checked player. Yourself and previous holders are ineligible.
  3. A normally good player appears as good, without their exact role. A normally evil player reveals their role. A public statement may be false; it is not the private result everyone can verify.

Important limits

Does Lady of the Sea reveal every role? No. Trickster appears good. The good Troublemaker appears as an evil role selected from the game, so an evil role result is not infallible.

Can both Ladies be enabled? The room settings make Lady of the sea and Lady of the lake alternatives. Choose one; the Sea version adds role information but retains the token's checking restrictions.

Practical situations

  • Checking Mordred reveals Mordred, even though Merlin cannot see that role at the start. The holder may still announce a different result.
  • Checking Merlin shows good, not Merlin. Do not treat the Sea token as a way to identify every good character.
