The Holy Grail: Origin of the Legend
The Holy Grail - the cup used at the Last Supper that caught Christ's blood - is entrusted to Joseph of Arimathea. For generations it is guarded by a line of pure knights. Titurel is born to become the Grail King, raised in perfect virtue for this sacred duty. The Grail provides miraculous sustenance but can only be approached by the pure in heart.
