Arondight (ALO)

Do not be confused by Arondight, Ishi's sword in SAO.

Arondight is Lancelot's weapon of choice in ALfheim Online, succeeding his Sword of Bravery, which was his primary weapon in during the beginning of the game.

Appearance
Arondight, dubbed as Sword of the Lake, stands a bit greater than half of Lancelot's height. The hilt is black in color, having on its end what seemed to be a golden ring with a sapphire bead. Before reaching the hand guard, the hilt is clasped around by golden metal. The hand guard itself was crescent-shaped and azure in color, having on its middle a large blue stone enclosed in a golden ring. The blue ooloration of the hand guard traces down to said ring. Much like Kirito's Black Iron Great Sword, the blade is wide in the hilt, and narrow down to a point as it reaches its end.

Background
Sometime before the reformation of Knights of Round in ALO, Gwenhwyfar and Lancelot took various quests together, along with a few other players, as a party. One of them was the Whirpool Dragon Tyrant Quest, which involved an event-only dungeon, the Whirlpool Abyss. Lancelot had heard of the quest beforehand, and sought the very rare drop of the dungeon boss, a sword almost in par with Excalibur. After successfully clearing the five halls (ten floors each) of the dungeon, and defeating Nazrudin spawns at the end of each hall, the party finally managed to defeat the Whirlpool Dragon Nazrudin. Arondight, the Sword of the Lake, was one of the drops gained after defeating the dungeon boss, and Lancelot finally gained possession of the weapon he looked forward to having. Although it was said the be in par with Excalibur, Lancelot had never tried dueling the Black Swordsman to see if it was true.
