Excalibur is a weapon that can be obtained in Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light.
In Arthurian tales, Excalibur is the legendary sword of King Arthur, with its name ultimately deriving from the Welsh Caledfwlch, where caled means ‘hard’ and bwlch is ‘cleft’. It appears in many interpretations of the stories of King Arthur, but it is first mentioned in Welsh mythology, including the earliest surviving Welsh tale, Culhwch and Olwen (Culhwch ac Olwen).
The Avalon Scrolls book may reference the mythical isle of Avalon. It is said King Arthur was taken there to recover from the wounds he sustained in the Battle of Camlann.
