Excalibur is a greatsword weapon that can be obtained in Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin.
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 Prytwen is a shield that can be obtained in the game. This comes from Pridwen, the name of King Arthur’s shield in Welsh mythology.
