The semi-mythical ancestor of Roland Deschain and all gunslingers, the ancient High King who united all the kingdoms of In-World, Out-World, and Mid-World under one crown. Like the King Arthur of our world, Arthur Eld wielded a magical sword called Excalibur and reigned during a Golden Age that came after the destruction wrought by the Old Ones. He was known as the Warrior of the White and the first Lord of Light. By Roland's time, the unity of Arthur Eld's All-World was only a myth, but his bloodline and legacy still commanded profound respect.
