History[]

Creation[]

"I believe you recognize this. Our ancestors forged it in blood and fire and magic."


According to Anwen and Cailleach , Carublæd was created on Eve of Samhain on the Isle of the Blessed few centuries ago after some members that served the Old Religion objected to the price that was paid to Cailleach for tearing the Veil open for one night.


In possesion of High Priestess of Baelial[]

It is uknown as to how and when the Carublæd was transferred from Isle of the Blessed to Baelial where it was guarded by the High Priestess Rhiannon but it is assumed around some time before Uther began the Great Purge.


Closing the torn Veil[]

It is known that Rhiannon gave the Carublæd to Anwen after the latter completed the final test on Baelial after which she became Priestess of the Old Religion. In turn, Anwen carried the dagger wherever she went and it was kept safe in her chambers in Camelot until the Eve of Samhain on which Morgana torn the Veil by sacrificing her half-sister Morgause. Anwen accompanied Arthur and his knights on the quest to heal the Veil; and once they reached the Isle of the Blessed, Carublæd was used in blood sacrifice that healed the Veil.
