This quest, fair knight, is to discover if thou art worthy of the Holy Grail.
The Grail itself is to be found within the remains of The Siege Perilous in the area where once the Round Table stood.
To find the Grail, thou must find the great knight, and healer of the Fisher King, Peredur, who wilt furnish thee with a number that thou wilt need to find the Grail. Furthermore, thou wilt have to discover the whereabouts of our king and four other knights.
These knights are:
Our gracious liege, Arthur
Gawain
Cei
Bedwyr
Leodegrance
Once thou hast these numbers, thou wilt have the information thou require to discover The Holy Grail
A location is provided for an area where thou canst leave thy steed when in search of Peredur.
But beware! To reach Peredur, thou must cross the road travelled by many armoured steeds!
Do not forget to note the number that thou retreivest!
I wish thee well, fair knight, and good fortune!
Chrétien de Troyes wrote the first story of Percival (Welsh: Peredur, Perceval, Parzifal); Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival, Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, and the now lost Perceval of Robert de Boron are other famous accounts of his adventures.
There are many versions of Percival's birth. In most accounts he is of noble birth; his father is either King Pellinore or another worthy knight. His mother is usually unnamed but plays a significant role in the stories. His sister is the bearer of the Holy Grail, she is sometimes named Dindrane. In tales where he is Pellinore's son his brothers are Sir Aglovale, Sir Lamorak and Sir Dornar, and he also has a half-brother, by his father's affair with a peasant woman, named Sir Tor.
After the death of his father, Percival's mother takes him to the Welsh forests where she raises him ignorant to the ways of men until the age of 15. Eventually, however, a group of knights passes through his wood, and Percival is struck by their heroic bearing. Wanting to be a knight himself, the boy travels to King Arthur's court, and after proving his worthiness as a warrior he is knighted and invited to join the Knights of the Round Table. Wikipedia
