In Grail one of the champions is Peredur. In traditional Grail lore, what's this character's name?
(Hint: Gwalchmai is Gawain, Gwalchavad is Galahad)

Great! Here's a three part question for you guys. This comes from the Paradise War.
Who was exiled for killing one of Meldryn Mawr's kinsman? What did he request when he was brought before the king? Why was this request so troublesome for the king to grant?

Balorgain. He requested naud. It is difficult to grant naud because then the offender may not be punished. (Close enough, right? Please, Twrchie[sticking to book spelling ]? **puppy dog eyes**)

Please, Twrchie[sticking to book spelling ]? **puppy dog eyes**) *Nods* Close enough. You're right that it was Balorgain and that he requested naud. You're also right that it was difficult for the king to grant it because he would go unpunished, but there was a deeper issue to it as well that I found facinating. The king could have refused naud, but then his character would have been lowered in the eyes of the people. He was Meldryn Mawr... Mawr, meaning "great". He no longer would have been held so had he refused naud. What he did was out of pride more than anything. I just found the whole concept facinating. Good job! You're Turn.
