THE GRAIL QUEST
Legend says the man who pulls the sword "Excalibur" from the stone, is
destined to be king. And so it was that Arthur, a young knight, pulled the
sword from the stone and claimed his birthright. But none of the other
lords and knights would follow the "boy king" and the land quickly began to
wither and die.
At last Arthur turned to Merlin for guidance and advice. Merlin explained
that only the Legendary Grail holds the power needed to unite Britain under
Arthur's rule. Lost for ages, the grail would heal the rift between the
land and the one true king and will bring prosperity to the land and to its
people.
So, with aid of his trusted friends Lancelot and Percival, Arthur set forth
on his quest to dispel the evil from the land and to reclaim the lost
grail.
