Fun fact: Arthur did pull Excalibur out of a stone, but then immediately broke it in a duel. I'm not even joking.

I thought the sword in the stone and Excalibur were different weapons, and Excalibur was the replacement for when the other sword broke.

Your right, my bad. The sword from the stone was unnamed and it was broken in the duel.

Yeah isn't it some Caliburn and Exalibur. Most of my holy weapon name knowledge comes exclusively from the Fate Series lol.

Are we talking about Andúril, AKA "the flame of the west"?
