Excalibur is the legendary magical sword of King Arthur as the rightful king of Britain.
History
The story of the sword's origin has several variations; one legend says that the Lady of the Lake donated the sword to Arthur (she herself says she forged it[1]). Other sources posit that Excalibur is one of the Seven Imperishable Treasures and a "proto-Arthur"[2] found it in Gorias.[3]
The sword later passed to Ystina, the second Shining Knight.[3].
