Notes
Christian tradition: vessel used to collect Christ’s blood, brought to Britain by Joseph of Arimathea. Mentioned in connection with Glastonbury and the Abbey of Glastonbury.
In Session 027, Liam discovers the Grail buried beneath the altar in the House of Constantine. After the companions drink from it, Liam’s cursed rubies spill harmlessly away, suggesting the relic has cleansed him of their influence.
Timeline
- (488) — Liam uncovers the Holy Grail beneath the altar of the House of Constantine; the companions drink from it, and Liam’s cursed rubies are cleansed. (Source: Session 027 - The House of Constantine and the Return to Wells)
Session 033 update
- At Glastonbury, the questers learn that the Grail was taken north about a century ago by one of Joseph of Arimathea’s descendants. This now appears tied to Dubricus’ vision of the “crown” carried north by a dutiful fisherman. (Source: Session 033 - The Crown Quest, the Siege of Exeter, and the Giant Erge)
- 490: The Loch Lomond investigation strengthens the suspicion that the “crown” sought by Dubricus’ vision may be Grail-like or connected to the Grail. (Source: Session 036 - The Sun-Water of Loch Lomond and the Road to Merlin)
