Varlan of Wales

A sacred relief of biblical kingship carried into Arthurian legend - King David's Sword is a blade of prophecy, trial, and divine purpose, destined for Galahad alone.

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.
