A medieval researcher discovers an old manuscript in Paris, a fragment of a story. It follows the adventures of a knight named Ségurant, who was cursed by the fairy Morgan to hunt an imaginary dragon. Where does the text come from? Are these parts of a novel based on the Arthurian legend?

Emanuele Arioli goes in search of the Dragon Knight's traces. For ten years he has been examining manuscripts in libraries around the world and researching the myth's locations in order to complete the story of King Arthur and his knights, the most famous legend of the Middle Ages, and to reconstruct the entire novel. The documentary tells the story of Emanuele Arioli, who carried out extensive research to understand the origins of this novel and who managed to reassemble the forgotten 28-part manuscript that was scattered across Europe. The film introduces the Arthurian legend, reports on the first dark Celtic legends that spread in Germany, Great Britain and Iceland, and describes the heyday of Arthurian literature in France and Italy. Over time, the Celtic legends mixed in a fascinating way with the Nordic myths and Viking sagas, from which the figure of the dragon hunter comes.

With the help of the animations of the illustrator Antoine Carrion, the speaker brings the dragon knight's adventures to life and stages the mythical characters of Arthurian legend: Arthur, Guinevere, the Knights of the Round Table, the magician Merlin, Nimue, the Lady of the Lake, the fairy Morgan, the Dragon Knight's opponent, and finally the dragon, which is merely a mirage conjured up by Morgan. Written towards the end of the 13th century, the novel was quite successful in the Middle Ages before falling into obscurity during the Renaissance. The discovery of Emanuele Arioli adds an important work to the history of the European novel and returns to the origins of the Arthurian legend, the most famous legend of the Middle Ages across borders and that has stood the test of time.

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.

My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever ;) I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.

It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called. Everything that is right ... - and yet not. The main focus of the blog is contemporary art, in the broadest sense of the word.
