Summary

The Arthurian legend has been described by at least one scholar as a giant mythical vacuum. It has a reputation for sucking in and absorbing previously independent legends and making them part of Arthur's story.

Tune in and find out devious dwarves, a sword bridge, and guy named Bademagu all play a role in the story.
