As any good Christian, King Arthur never leaves a feast until the guests have dispersed. As expected of a generous host, he greets new arrivals and always imbibes with them. The same is true of his wax image in its crown and mantle: it greets the guests and shares in their merriment and light mood. |

At the entrance to the hall presided over by the noble Arthur, knights stand at either side to guard their master. On the king's right is the Golden Knight, and on his left stands the Silver Knight. These knights bear armor and helmets. One of them is armed with a sword, and the other holds a halberd. Both keep watch day and knight. |

Noble knights gather at the hearth fire where mysterious shadows can be seen through the stained glass and the ring of chalices and noise of merry feasts echoes. Their ladies blush in the heat of the fire. This hearth is adorned by a worthy hunting trophy in the form of a somber wolf's head. |

"And every guest is my brother, and each man rules in Camelot and shall have kingly honors accorded him" noble Arthur used to say. That is why all the seats in Camelot resemble thrones, with high backs, soft cushions and elegant carving to enhance an all-night feast. |

Tales of knights of the Round Table, of the noble kind Arthur and his beautiful queen and mistress Guinevere are offered as entertainment for the gentlemen and their ladies. Reading these tales, every guest will find an engaging pastime while the victuals are being prepared. |

In order not to encourage covetousness and to avoid the spread of envy, the noble Arthur outlawed silver and gold coins and decreed that written notes be issued and decorated with exquisite foods. These bills were to be called camelots after his famous castle. Our guests are welcome to purchase these bills as souvenirs or use them as payment. |

The knights dine every evening in Camelot castle, colored lights flicker through the stained glass windows and the strains of courtly songs can be heard. In these songs the knights hear the voice of a beloved lady, and the drunkards the splash of a good wine in the chalice. |
