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.
The Dull Sword, or Secace, is Sir Gawain’s magical weapon. Despite its unremarkable name, it inflicts grievous wounds and can only be sheathed after drawing blood, emphasizing the knight’s courage and destiny.
Merlin gave Arthur the Dragon Banner for his battles against the rebel kings. Sometimes carried by Merlin, sometimes by Sir Kay, the banner symbolized royal authority and, on rare occasions, even displayed magical effects.
