Round 6: Tossup 10

The titular daughter of King Arthur travels east to retrieve one of these objects from Saladin to save her husband in the Irish romance, the Adventures of Orlando and Melora. The one-handed warrior Bedwyr used one of these objects that could draw “blood from the wind” when split in two and impart nine times the damage. An object of this type that bled “without the presence of flesh” is the first object seen by Perceval (-5[1])during a procession that includes a (10[1])candelabra, a chalice, (-5[1])and a silver platter. Sir Balin uses this type of object to deliver the Dolorous Strike to the Fisher (-5[1])King’s haunches, (10[1])creating (10[1])the Wasteland. St. Longinus utilizes this type of object (10[1])to create the last of the (10[1])Five Holy Wounds. For 10 points, what object “of Destiny” spills blood and water from Christ’s side? (10[4])■END■
