- THE GRAIL TRADITION
The Grail is the sacred vessel sought by King Arthur’s knights in the later Arthurian romances. It is most often described as the cup used at the Last Supper and the vessel that received Christ’s blood at the Crucifixion. The quest for the Grail becomes the highest spiritual trial of the Round Table, attainable only by the purest knight.
Steward of Castle Amontsus and loyal vassal of Lady Fortune,
Aamanz, called “the other Gawain” for his uncanny resemblance to the famous knight, is a tragic figure whose pursuit of vengeance leads to betrayal and a fatal misunderstanding in Diu Crône.
Castle of Marvels, an enchanted fortress in Arthurian romance where Gawain breaks powerful spells by courage and courtesy. A legendary site of trial, kinship, and wonder guarded by Arthur’s own family.
