The Sheeda are responsible for all major civilization collapses.
The knights Bors, Peredur and Galahad brought back from Ysse three imperishable treasures. Some digging says that Ysse might be Gila Ysse which in certain myths/stories was an elven kingdom that stood for Golden Sanctuary.
CBR Forums: Quote from page 2: " There, eight miles below sea level, they split the building blocks of matter itself on their anvils."
Am I right in thinking that this- will be/was/will have been - the "six-sided god-machine"? It fits for me, because if "the building blocks of matter itself" are "split" - i.e. if we dare to follow quantum theory to its inevitable conclusions and search beneath (oh, so loaded, these terms) the surface of what we see as reality ("matter itself"), we will be forced to confront the possibility that our so-called reality is based on nothing more than probability/chance?
Back in Klarion #2 there was a scene between one of the children of the Leviathan and Klarion about Guardians helmet(left from Guardian #2) and Klairon suggested making it a pot. There’s been speculation about this being a Holy Grail reference. If so it was Peredur, Galahad and Bors who found the treasure bt only Bors survived to bring it to Arthur and tell the tale.
CBR Forums: Mabinogion, Peredur is another version of Pryderi, the Underworld King killed by our old buddy Gwydion. And of course, the name is also the original of Perceval, one of the Grail Quest heroes. Galahad of course later supplanted everyon and became THE major Grail hero, expecially when the Christian aspects of the myth became dominant. Don't recall much about Bors, or where that character fits in Arthurian myth.
Bors - Lancelot's cousin. Though hindered by unchaste acts in his past, he is one of the more successful Grail-knights and travels to Sarras with Perceval and Galahad where the Quest of the Sangreal is achieved. Bors is welcomed to Camelot after his return to Britain where he reports of Galahad's attainment of the Supreme Vision and subsequent death. He is made king of Claudas's lands.
He warns Lancelot in vain about Agravain and Mordred's plot to catch him alone with Guinevere and he eventually sides with Lancelot in the scandal that splits the Round Table. He fights Mordred with the king and, according to Malory, after Arthur's death Bors takes religious orders and joins his cousin at a Glastonbury hermitage. However, Bors eventually dies in the Holy Land in the Crusade to Jerusalem.
