Excalibur is the sword of the great king, a symbol of ancestral, legitimate power, borne by two figures in the archive.

Bearers

  • Dolores: a warrior of the Mayoralty of York and wife of David; the designated, noble bearer.
  • More: a demonized warrior, possessed by Lubina; the accidental bearer, who carries it as the “sword of shame”.

The dual bearing marks a moral inversion: the same weapon in hands of redemption (Dolores) and of condemnation (More). The pairing of Lubina and Excalibur forms a duo of evil and power in the narrative of Torregrises.

Role

The sword is an artifact of ancestral power connecting Arthurian cosmology with the primary epic line of the shared cosmos. It serves as an axis of moral power in the reconstruction narrative after the destruction of Monkchester; its dual existence marks the ethical ambiguity of holding power in a context of war and demonic possession.
