The Lady of the Lake lived in the Lake in Daventry.
Background[]
She appeared when Connor wrung the Large Silver Bell on the odd structure three times. She presented the Sword of the Lake to the Champion Eternal, Connor. Connor was assured that his quest would be successful. After giving him the sword she returned back into the lake.
Behind the scenes[]
The Lady of the Lake is based on the character with the same title, also known as Nimue in the Arthurian legends. Descriptions given in the Companion might suggest she is another mermaid character ("fish call"), while her lower half cannot be seen, she does appear to have fish scales or at least scale mail around her hips.
The Lady of the Lake (French: Dame du Lac, Demoiselle du Lac, Welsh: Arglwyddes y Llyn, Cornish: Arloedhes an Lynn, Breton: Itron al Lenn, Italian: Dama del Lago) is a name or a title used by several fairy-like enchantresses in the Matter of Britain, the body of medieval literature and mythology associated with the legend of King Arthur. They play pivotal roles in many stories, including providing Arthur with the sword Excalibur, eliminating Merlin, raising Lancelot after the death of his father, and helping to take the dying Arthur to Avalon. Different sorceresses known as the Lady of the Lake appear concurrently as separate characters in some versions of the legend since at least the Post-Vulgate Cycle and consequently the seminal Le Morte d'Arthur, with the latter describing them as a hierarchical group, while some texts also give this title to either Morgan or her sister.
