Excalibur is the sword of kings — born in Avalon, borne by Arthur, and returned at last to the Lady of the Lake. More than a weapon, it is the sign of divine rule, the boundary between mortal and Otherworld, and the enduring symbol of Britain’s once and future king.
Arthur's Club of Iron, claimed from the Giant of Saint Michel, is a trophy of raw strength and courage.
The betrayal of Mordred divides Arthur’s kingdom and leads to the final civil war of the Arthurian legend, culminating in the battle of Camlann.
