People only came to know of the royal heir’s existence at a tournament. The previous king had recently passed away and the knights were too engage in combat to decide who would ascend to the throne. However, Thane effortlessly pulled the sword from the stone and put an end to the tournament. Inscribed on the sword were the words “He who draws this sword from the stone shall be king.”

Once king, Thane led the Knights of the Round Table and defeated the powerful enemy that threatened his kingdom. “Your Royal Majesty, King Thane, battles of the mortal world are meaningless to you. New opponents await your arrival on the battlefield of the gods. I hope your fabled sword is still as keen as ever.” The sounds of the battle horn had reignited King Thane’s fighting spirit.
