A blood-dripping spear which appears in the Grail Procession. Feared as a weapon of destruction yet revered as a holy relic.

The Grail Sword appears beside the Grail and the Bleeding Lance as a weapon both magnificent and flawed. Its shattered blade reflects spiritual imperfection, and only the worthy Grail Knight can restore it to wholeness.

At the heart of the Grail Castle, the Fisher King’s Table stands as a silent witness to sacred kingship. Here, the wounded king and his father receive divine sustenance from the Grail, transforming a royal banquet into a ritual of mystery, endurance, and divine revelation.

In his dream, Bohort sees the lily: a sign of mercy, duty, and moral reflection. Like the Grail itself, it calls the knight to act with virtue, guiding him toward wisdom and the path of true honor.

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.

In the Grail romances, the Fisher King's castle is a sacred stage where divine objects - the Bleeding Lance, Candlesticks, the Grail, Carving Dish, and Table - are revealed in a solemn procession.

Following the Grail Maiden came a second maiden carrying a silver dish. Its purpose was hidden, its shine reflecting the light of the candles, and Perceval could not guess its meaning.

Two youths followed the bearer of the bleeding lance, each carrying a golden candlestic with many burning candles. Their light filled the hall with a brilliance such as Perceval had never seen before.
