Her good young half-brother King Arthur claims the right to the throne by pulling the magic sword Excalibur out of the stone and sets off to gather the forces of good (including the warrior Lady Gwenevere the wizard Merlin the sorceress Nimue and the knights Sir Lancelot Sir Percival and Sir Galahad) defeat Morgan's supernatural armies (led by the Red Knight the Green Knight and the Black Knight and King Lot) and eventually to avenge his father.
