#Galahad, the Protagonist of @HeroWarsweb ... (also a side-character Arthurian Legend, or something)

on
Maybe learning about Galahad (the HERO WARS-one, not necessarily the Arthurian one) will show us 'what the point is' ('the object of the game') behind HERO WARS (discussed at the post linked-to through the bold text below).
The name “Galahad” is a form of the Biblical name #Gilead (גִּלְעָד), a name built on ancient words that mean "this #Heap bears Witness" (I think it's because Israel built an important altar in 'the mountainous region east of the Jordan River'). 
The word Heap is built on ancient words that mean "Pile (Great Number, Crowd ... maybe High, Lie down, Old Car, Slovenly Woman, to Collect, Bring Together)."
just like the names #Galaad #Gilad #Galeazzo (maybe
 #Galasso?), the words #Heaps #Heaped #Heaping #ScrapHeap
To Keep Up on My 'Research,'
Sir Galahad (possibly in one of his prophetic nightmares about standing at the right hand of a terrorizing ArchDemon ...)

Well, the Galahad-'Lore' (linked through that image) tells us that Galahad was a peasant-boy who felt the call to become a knight, and so started to train with an old man whom he had helped vanquish a squad of orcs.

Come to find out, the old man was a knight himself who had loved the boy's mother in the past (yes, that is to say that the man was the boy's father)---confirming that the boy's yearning for knighthood was his legacy-impulse (as was his father, so was he).

I'm not sure of the exact history of Dominion (the kingdom in which we go through the realms of Strongford & Celestial City), but--playing the game--I see that most of the adventures there are Galahad fulfilling his knightly oath to serve for the good of Dominion.
