Excalibur is King Arthur's great sword. It sometimes gives off
light and occasionally is wielded by Gawain. Excalibur is given
to Arthur, and finally taken from him, by a hand in the lake.
Merlin, who brings Arthur to the Lady of the Lake to receive
Excalibur, informs the King that the scabbard is worth far more
than the sword itself, for the former will protect its bearer
from injury. Despite this fact, it is the sword rather than its
scabbard that has captured the imagination of later writers and
readers.
