History
Galahad was born from the union between Sir Lancelot and Elaine, the daughter of the Fisher King, who used a magical potion to fool the knight into believing she was Guinevere. Fos- tered in a nunnery, Galahad grew to adulthood and eventually traveled to Camelot where Lancelot promptly knighted him. Portents and omens abounded, declaring that Galahad was chosen for a destiny. From a stone in a river, he pulled the Sword with the Red Hilt that none could retrieve save the “best knight in the world.” He also sat in the Siege Perilous, a chair at the Round Table that would slay any but the knight who would retrieve the Grail. Galahad had many adventuresSample where he continually file proved his chivalry and purity; he defeated demons, fought giants, and even recovered the Shield of Evalach. In time, he arrived in the domain of King Pelles of Corbenic, the Fisher King and his own grandfather. There he healed Pelles of his ancient injury and was finally able to reach the Grail. He worshiped the artifact for a year and and day before ascending to be one with his deity.
