After the death of their king, the lands of Britian were left without a ruler, but received a prophecy from the great wizard, Merlin. He told the kingdom that their new king would emerge after proving themselves worthy of Excalibur, a might sword stuck in a stone. As the nation waited, Arthur, a meek, unexpecting boy, attempted to retrieve the sword not for himself, but on behalf of another. However, as the young boy pulled Excalibur out of its sheath of stone, he proved himself noble and deserving of the throne, thus beginning a new era.
