Excalibur is a legendary sword. There are primarily two origins for the sword. The first is that Arthur pulled the sword from a stone, an act which prophecy stated could only be performed by the rightful king of England. The second is that Arthur received the sword from The Lady of the Lake, who presented it as Excalibur "that is to say as to Cut-Steel" (ref? This quote doesn't make sense.) According to the second legend, as he lay dying, King Arthur requested that one of his trusted knights, Sir Bedivere, throw the sword into the lake. After some initial hesitation, he did so, and the lake re-claimed the sword. The sword was said to be capable of blinding Arthur's enemies, and its scabbard would make its wearer invulnerable to blood loss. (ref?)
Tomb Raider Legend
In the game, the sword has been split into five pieces which were scattered across the world:
- 1st Piece - Tokyo, Japan
- 2nd Piece - Ghana
- 3rd Piece - Kazakhstan
- 4th Piece - Cornwall, England
- Ghalali Key - Nepal
The Ghalali Key is needed to piece together the sword that appears in Tomb Raider Legend. The sword is a key to opening two portals, located at Nepal and Tiwanaku, which lead to a mysterious foreign dimension called Avalon. If the sword is pulled out while connected to the portal, the portal will explode, as Lara discovered in Nepal. Each individual piece (except the Ghalali Key) can give the bearer the powers of levitation as well as the ability to produce concentrations of energy, which can be focused and used as a weapon. The pieces can also give the powers of regeneration, thus replenishing the bearer's health. When the sword is pieced together, it can produce balls of energy from its tip, when it is swung. These balls of energy fly with high velocity and are very dangerous. When an enemy is struck by the sword or the balls of energy, they are immediately killed.
In the ending of Tomb Raider Underworld, Lara once again finds Excalibur. She along with Amanda use it with the Stone Diases to return to the same site where Lara's mother accidently enters Helhiem or Avalon.
