Grail Keeper

The Grail lineage traces the sacred guardianship of the Holy Grail from the time of Christ to the knights of King Arthur. Medieval romances describe a succession of keepers—saints, bishops, and kings—who preserved the relic until it was finally revealed during the Grail Quest.

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.

A sacred book said to have been written by Christ himself, preserving the true history of the Holy Grail in the Vulgate Cycle.

Carbonek, also known as Corbenic or the Grail Castle, is the mystical stronghold of the Holy Grail in Arthurian legend. Guarded by the Fisher King, it appears only to the pure of heart.

Alain le Gros (or Alain the Large) was remembered in Arthurian tradition as father of Percivale and the third Grail keeper at Carbonek.

Joseph of Arimathea is remembered in Arthurian tradition as the first keeper of the Holy Grail. A figure rooted in the Gospels, he bridges biblical history and medieval legend, carrying the relic of Christ’s Passion into the lineage that would one day lead to the Grail quest of Arthur’s knights.
