Plot Points

  • In the quest for the Holy Grail, Galahad comes to a hermitage and spends the evening there
  • While there he meets a noblewoman who promises to take him on an adventure unlike any a knight had had before
  • She leads him to a ship on which Percival and Bors are waiting with Percival's sister 
  • He joins them on their ship upon which is a magical sword which only Galahad is worthy to wield
  • The sword is really confusing but it has a bone handle which grants special properties to the wielder, including bravery and invulnerability
  • From there they went on to have many adventures as a group in search of the Grail, with Galahad and his magic sword
