History
Excalibur was created by Hephaestus, "the maker", during the Isu Era to bring about the end of the War of Unification.[2] At some point after; it was later taken to Britain in what would become England.[3]
By the 5th or 6th century, the Sword had become lodged in a stone. During that time, it was later pulled out of the stone by the young Briton leader named Arthur who, with backing from the local chapter of the Order of the Ancients,[3] used the blade to rally his people as the newly crowned high king of Britain to fight in defense of their lands against the invading Anglo-Saxons.[1] However, he was later betrayed years after, ultimately leading to his death.[4] The sword was then hidden in an Isu vault beneath the Myrddin's Cave in Hamtunscire, with clues surrounding its location inscribed on various tablets scattered throughout England.[3]
Nearly three hundred years later in the late-9th century, Excalibur was recovered and claimed by the Viking Eivor Varinsdottir, a member of the Raven Clan, a Norse clan that relocated to England to escape the rule of a unified Norway.[3]
