Bran the Blessed

Cauldrons in Welsh and Celtic legend are magical vessels associated with heroism, resurrection, and the Otherworld.

In Arthurian legend, the Dolorous Stroke is the fateful blow that maims a Grail King and turns his land into the Waste Land. Struck with a forbidden holy weapon the stroke symbolizes sin, broken kingship, and the need for spiritual healing through the Grail Quest.
