Gilles De Rais was a powerful leader in the French army, but he had a dark secret. He was a bloodthirsty vampire, who derived pleasure from the killing of innocent children. He was feared and reviled by all who knew of his atrocities, but he was also incredibly powerful and cunning.
Despite his evil nature, Gilles De Rais had a secret strange connection to the great mage Merlin. Merlin was searching for a true and just king for the kingdom and he knew that the only way to prove that a man was the true king was to have him pull the sword Excalibur out of the stone.
Merlin sought out Gilles De Rais and made a deal with him. In exchange for his help in sticking the sword to the stone and proving the true king, Merlin would give Gilles De Rais access to an ancient and powerful magic that would allow him to become even more powerful than he already was.
Gilles De Rais was intrigued by the offer, and he agreed to help Merlin. Together, they set out to find the perfect location for the sword. They searched the kingdom, looking for a place that was both sacred and powerful.
Finally, they found the perfect spot. It was a place of great power, deep in the heart of Drobeta forest, at the old gladiators' arena. They dug a hole in the ground and placed the sword in it, and then Gilles De Rais used his dark magic to stick the sword to the stone and hide it beneath the ground in the center of the Arena.
As soon as the sword was in place, word spread throughout the kingdom of Helea, that the true king had finally been found. Many Warriors from different races came to try their luck at pulling the sword out of the stone, but only one shall succeed. Only that person would be the true king.
Gilles De Rais was true to his word, he helped Merlin to stick the sword to the stone and prove the true king and Merlin kept his promise, he gave Gilles De Rais access to ancient magic. But with this new power came a new level of depravity, Gilles De Rais became even more bloodthirsty and cruel, and he started to kill more children for his enjoyment.
The people of the kingdom were horrified by Gilles De Rais' actions and their only hope was to find this true King. Merlin gathered his bravest knights and set out for a tournament to accelerate the track down of the true king. Fierce battles are to be expected but the most important is that the Knights that will prove their strength will be given the same ancient and powerful magic that was given to Gilles De Rais so it could help them put an end to his reign of terror.
No man alive would forget the dark deeds of Gilles De Rais, and the evil he had brought to their land, join the Tournament of Excalibur in order to prove your real strength and get the Ancient Powers of Merlin to help you through your journey against the Darkness
