“Now lead me thither, said Galahad. And so they did, all armed save his helm. Now, said the good man, go to the tomb and lift it up. So he did, and heard a great noise; and piteously he said, that all men might hear it: Sir Galahad, the servant of Jesu Christ, come thou not nigh me, for thou shalt make me go again there where I have been so long. But Galahad was nothing afraid, but lifted up the stone; and there came out so foul a smoke, and after he saw the foulest figure leap thereout that ever he saw in the likeness of a man; and then he blessed him and wist well it was a fiend. Then heard he a voice say Galahad, I see there environ about thee so many angels that my power may not dere thee. Right so Sir Galahad saw a body all armed lie in that tomb, and beside him a sword. Now, fair brother, said Galahad, let us remove this body, for it is not worthy to lie in this churchyard, for he was a false Christian man. ‘” [Sir Thomas Malory. Le Morte d’Arthur 13:12.]](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4glu3NtAl1rppc0go1_1280.jpg)

Day 4- Favorite Romance (Canon)
Arthur & Guinevere. I’ve thought about this all day and the conclusion I’ve come to is that, when done well, Arthur and Guinevere have a romance that is truly something special. Unfortunately it’s rarely doing well. Doing this…
30 days of Arthurian Challenge
Day #01: Your favourite character: Sir Bors of Ganis The young, or the Exiled
Probably because my introduction to the Arthurian Legend was Chretien de Troyes and then the French Lancelot-Grail series I love Bors and all the lineage of King Ban.
Bors is fanatic, I know his religion is very important to him I think I like that he represented this religious part of the Legend but I like even more that it’s a man trying to live according to a certain philosophy and it’s not always easy, sometimes he puts his feelings first, sometimes he is a fool. I thnk that he is harsh sometimes and strict but he means good and in that he is different of Perceval or Galahad that seems to be good by nature of course want it but they seem naturally pure and blessed. But he is still loyal to what to believe above anything else.
He is little too proud and not very good with people and compassion sometimes. And that’s a bit of a contraiction with his aspirations and I like it. Like, how is someone so Catholic after being raised partially by a fairy. Plus, Bors chilhood under and enemy King and then the Grail quest are great stories. And he can fight too
And I will cut it there.
The Sword in the Stone by Tom Scholes.
‘Ay, my name’s Kai,’ the knight said gruffly.
Without another word, the stranger slipped his lyre from his shoulder, strummed the strings once, then began to proclaim in a voice that was half singing, ‘Tis Kai, the great, the mightiest of the mighty, who slew five kings in one fell blow-‘
‘Was it really five?’ Dinadan whispered to Bedivere.
‘Two,’ Bedivere replied, ‘and not in one blow either.’
The strange minstrel continued, ‘-Kai, who can live nine days and nine nights under water without breathing, and who can stay nine days and nine nights awake without sleep. Kai, whose sword cleaves a wound no physic can cure. Kai, who can be as tall as the tallest tree when he chooses, and whose anger burns so hot that he stays dry even in the heaviest rain. Kai, the great, the magnificent, the unmatched. Yea, my lords and ladies, tis Kai.’
The minstrel bowed again and seemed to be expecting applause, but he was met with utter silence. At last Bedivere said, ‘Why, Kai, I believe you’ve been holding out on us.’
I did this for the Arthur Lives! RPG by Vigilance Press. PCs are reincarnations of figures from Arthurian Myth and they run around trying to recognize themselves and face off against their old enemies and stuff.
It’s groovy, and I was really thrilled to be asked to join in the project.
This would be the Dragon Banner, a magical artifact (in this case, a tee shirt with a dragon design), that becomes a real dragon in the midst of battle and whatnot.

Thank you! :D <3
My lord Gawain had taken the hand of a companion of his, namely Ywain, for whom he showed a love as great as was ever seen: the mutual affection of Achilles and Patroclus was at no time greater than that of these two companions.

Do I even need to add anything to that?
