Part 134: Week 7 Information Matrix - Saber
Week 7 Information Matrix - Saber
Excalibur Galatine: The Resurrected Sword of Victory posted:
The sword of Sir Gawain and the sister sword to Excalibur. It is said that like Excalibur, Galatine once belonged to the Lady of the Lake. However, its legends have been overshadowed by its more famous counterpart, and therefore very few people know of its true significance.
Another difference is the while Excalibur was said to absorb the light radiated from the Earth, Galatine reflected the warming rays of the Sun.
Knight of the Sun posted:
While King Arthur was ruled by the movement of Artemis, the goddess of the moon, Sir Gawain drew his strength as a knight from the sun. It is said that his powers are at their greatest when the sun is at its zenith.
Excalibur posted:
Arthur, said to be the mightiest of all the kings to rule Britain, is believed to have ruled sometime in the fifth or sixth century.
The sword that is said to have proclaimed his right to rule was bestowed upon him by the Elemental known in legends as the Lady of the Lake. The entire episode was passed down in the stories collectively known as "King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table."
Anti-Magic (B) posted:
Cancels low-level spells with chants consisting of less than three full verses. Even high-level thaumaturgy and the greater rituals will only have a negligible effect on him.
Dragoon (B) posted:
Allows him to control any kind of transportation with exceptional skill. However, it does not bestow the ability to ride upon any of the Phantasm races.
Numeral of the Saint (EX) posted:
A condition unique to Sir Gawain's existence. During the hours between 9am and 12pm and those between 3pm and sunset, all of his powers increase by a factor of three. This was related to the ancient belief that the numeral "3" was the sacred number of the Celtic gods.
Character Background posted:
One of the major knights mentioned in the Arthurian legends and often thought to be King Arthur's nephew.
A knight said to be the equal of Sir Lancelot, Gawain was frequently at odds with Lancelot due to his slaying of both of Gawain's brothers. Although pure of heart and loyal beyond question, it was Gawain's all-consuming hatred that not only led to him being stripped of his knighthood, but also led to the downfall of King Arthur himself.
Gawain was fatally wounded at the battle of Camlann Hill after being struck in an old wound caused by Lancelot. As he laid dying, he realized that it was his own lack of virtue that lead to Sir Lancelot's betrayal and the defeat of his King.
Up until his death, Sir Gawain was considered a paragon of knighthood; chivalrous, loyal, and gallant. Even as King Arthur became a legend, Gawain was content to stay in the background, doing his duty regardless of whether his efforts were acknowledged or not. In reward for his gallantry and loyalty to Arthur, as well as his eventual forgiveness of Sir Lancelot, Gawain was resurrected as a Heroic Spirit and, freed from the sins of his past, has once again reclaimed his role as the "Knight of the Sun."
The White Knight of the Round Table posted:
The White Knight of the Round Table.
Widely considered to be the equal of King Arthur by many and the wielder of the lesser-known holy sword Galatine, Sir Gawain was fiercely loyal to the King, or more accurately, the King's station. Unlike Sir Bedivere, a trusted friend of Arthur's who wished only that he would find peace and contentment, Gawain's only concern was that Arthur maintain the throne of Britain.
If King Arthur was seen as the personification of the moon, then Sir Gawain was the harbinger of the sun. He was frequently compared with Arthur, although Gawain himself ignored these comparisons and devoted himself to serving his king to the best of his abilities. Though loyal to the end, his irrational hatred of Sir Lancelot proved to be his and Arthur's undoing.
Though Arthur eventually forgave his wayward knight's transgressions, Sir Gawain could not find it within himself to do the same until the very last moments of his life and only after being stripped of his knighthood, excommunicated from the church, and causing the downfall of his sovereign king.
With his dying breath, he swore that if he was ever given a second chance at life, he'd support his king, no matter what. Upon being reincarnated as a Servant, Gawain devotes himself completely to the goals of his Master and by doing so hopes to gain absolution for the sins of his past.
