Excalibur
So I was curious . . . is it a given that by being found in a dragon's hoard an item is stolen? Dragon tropes aside, there is a big span of time between Arthur's defeat at Camlann (where he likely last had the Excalibur) and the sword being found deep in a Scottish cavern. For comparison, I recently added to the timeline for the year 542, "Between now and 971, the sword Excalibur finds itself in the dragon Wyvern's hoard in Scotland." Is it also possible for the sword to be bartered, offered, lost and found, scavenger's rights, etc.? Am I just being overly cautious/overthinking this? If stolen seems accurate for everyone, then I'm ok with it; I will admit having not read as many dragon tales as others might have. --Pheon (talk) 00:29, 13 March 2024 (PDT)
