Listenois

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.

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.

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