The Much-Heralded Helmet of Sir Gawain | ||||||||
Legend contributed by: T. Scott Smith | ||||||||
One of the bravest and most valiant knights of King Arthur's legendary round table was Sir Gawain. Though the youngest and not the smartest of the knights, Gawain had one advantage: his magical silver helmet, which even Merlin the magician desired because its powers were even greater than his own.
Legend has it that one afternoon, King Arthur's wife, Guinevere, approached Gawain in the royal garden at Camelot. Guinevere: "Sir Knight, someone has stolen the stained glass window from the royal chamber." Gawain: "Look Guin, I'm a knight, I don't do windows." But Guinevere persisted and at last Gawain agreed to search for the stolen panes. Scouring the palace, he came across a scullery maid crying in the vestibule. Gawain: "Pretty young maiden, what's up?" Maid: "I have broken Her Majesty's window, and I will surely be thrown in the dungeon!" Gawain: "Nonsense! At worst you'll be thrown in the moat." Moved by her tears, Gawain pleaded with Merlin, who waved his magic wand and restored Guinevere's window for a price. The price was Gawain's magical helmet, which later found its way to the temple. Your quest is to retrieve the Much-Heralded Helmet of Sir Gawain and bring it back here. Kirk: Thanks a lot, Olmec. So tell us, where is this Helmet of Sir Gawain? The Helmet of Sir Gawain can be found in the Jester's Court. |
