Led by Eclipse, a number of Harts assault Milford and take down Morgana under guidance from Igraine as a representative of Nethras. Some fall during battle, but Marcellus is executed under complicated circumstances surrounding the lack of the sword of Ellidor. The struggle concludes when Morgana is slain and her phylactory destroyed, but Excalibur is left entrapped in its stone and enemies of the Harts abduct an ancetral creature of Waylund. Details of Peredur’s state at the conclusion of the battle are uncertain.
