More Inokabe Lore

Like i've mentioned before, inokabes are descendents of larger, powerful yokai beasts who are now, unfortunately, declared extinct. However, I have an artistic depiction of what one of these creatures would've looked like.

Unlike their modern counterparts, these primal inokabes had no way of absorbing mystic energy, and instead were skilled hunters.

Here is an artistic recreation of the size differences between the ancestor inokabes and their modern descendents (shown next to the average 5ft 5in (170cm) humanoid):

To my knowledge, these are the two times Lancelot is ever stated to have wielded a named weapon.

The first one is Seure (or, in some texts, Secace) from the French Vulgate Cycle, which apparently belonged to Arthur for the explicit purpose of mortal combat... which is a weird thing to contemplate, as you'd assume that Excalibur would be Arthur's trusted battle weapon. I wonder if Arthur just loaned Seure to Lancelot or if it's actually the sword Guinevere gifts to Lancelot as part of his knighting. Even more odd, Vulgate also gave Arthur another OP sword in the form of Marmyadoise, which he had won from King Ryons.

The second sword, Arondight, is an even more peculiar weapon associated with Lancelot as this sword doesn't even come from Arthurian Literature proper. As I understand it, "Arondight" is only found in certain manuscripts of the Middle English Sir Bevis of Hampton Romance, wielded by Guy of Warwick. Nonetheless, despite not being found in actual Arthurian canon, Arondight strangely enjoys the status of being Lancelot's best-known sword and signature weapon in popular media today (such as the Witcher series). In fact, I first knew about this sword through it being widely featured in Japanese media (Final Fantasy, Sonic, Persona, TYPE-MOON, etc.)

[sword-people]

Okay, I made this a few weeks back. I was debating sharing this version since I wasn't proud of Galatine and Laevatein's designs. I may remake them later. But this is what I got.

The Sacred Swords and their weird robot/golem designs.

I got some headcanon list below though.

On a side note, I headcanon them all to be agender. But they go by specific pronouns.

This, as well as inserting some key aspects of the Sonic version of the characters. And in the actual tales of King Arthur.

Caliburn

He represents divine right, leadership, and legacy. He was made by the Lady of the Lake, but then later sealed in a rock until being pulled out to serve a purpose.

He's about Mobian height, maybe 3'4", alongside Arondight, as they share the same height. Or at least similar.

He's wise, formal, and strict. He has existed for eons, watching kingdoms rise and fall. Even as a robot/golem now, he serves a similar purpose. Serving whoever he thinks worthy.

He has zero tolerance to be wielded (or be under the order) by someone who he deems as unworthy. So his judgment is law; if he doesn't accept you, you cannot wield him.

He does have an Excalibur form, which was also gifted by Lady of the Lake.

Arondight

While she does represent knightly perfection and inner conflict. She seems to be power-bound to emotions or tragedy. Due to Lancelot's action, she soon became a symbol of corrupted virtue.

Based on that, her story revolves around loyalty and love. Much like Lancelot. Which only resulted in tragedy and a reputation for the darker side of things.

She's the counterpart of Caliburn. While she does value chivalry, she's not unaware of underhanded tactics and seems to be emotionally not the best. Imagine it like a Spyro and Cynder dynamic.

She seems serious but rather melancholic and deeply introspective. She has a great understanding of betrayal, regret, and duty regardless. And tends to gravitate to those with similar scenarios.

She's the only one here that's French (the worst part). So she's used to French traditions, and she's able to speak French fluently.

Galatine

These blades tend to represent solar power, loyalty, and a hot temper. They're the youngest, like, the youngest siblings in a family. Powered by the sun, as gifted by the Lady of the Lake.

The two are twins due to them being separate blades. Green eye being "Gala" and more hyped. Purple eye being "Tine" and more calm. But both are equally boisterous, passionate, and loyal to a fault.

In their robot/golem form, they seem more likely to follow orders from others with no question. Either by doing the dirty work or any heavy lifting. In a similar light to the Seven Dwarfs.

This can backfire, due to being powered by the sun with untamed fire, Gala and Tine can become overwhelmed by the power if too much is being pushed upon them.

Despite them being the shortest out of the rest, by 2'8", their strength peaks with honor and day position.

Laevatein

This particular one appeared in Norse mythology rather than King Arthur. Therefore, she was forged by Loki from the underworld. She represents chaos, fire, and purity.

She's rather elegant and aloof. While she's not evil, she's very mysterious. Originally, she was made to undo creation - "the sword that ends gods." Meaning that she was meant to destroy Camelot.

But she never once acted on those orders. While still representing destruction via fire, she looks for inner serenity and those who are disciplined. Those who seek change, even for life or death.

However, those who are only tempted by evil and destruction will not wield her. As she can be destructive as it is.

She's the tallest out of the rest by 4'4". She also seems fond of fire and dancing with said fire. She only seems to be the only one capable of flying. She looks like a disassembly drone from Murder Drones, lmao.

In a nutshell:

Feel free to ask any questions if you got any. ^^
