hi knights,

I'm not sure where to post this so I guess it'll go here. I' m curious, I've seen 3 covers of Pendragon with a sword being handed to someone:

1rst: lady handing a sword to a knight on a horse
4th: sword being handed to a kneeling knigh
5.1: sword being handed to a knight in a lake

Is there some reason that the handing of a sword is reoccuring? Or does it just look cool? 8)

I guess I'm not sure about the 4th cover, maybe the sword isn't being handed off.

Excalibur being conferred by Merlin and/or one of the Ladies of the Lake is a central element of the Arthurian matter.

Regards
Luke

A sword is the weapon par excellance for a knight. Officially, no one else is supposed to have one (that is one of the reasons (excuses) that all the mercenaries were regularly executed after capture: they are not lords and ought not to have a sword.

To show a sword is to make a social statement: "I am a knight."
