Talk:Quatre Marinus Duran/@comment-27180297-20160318014857/@comment-29406920-20160831210149

Sekinetsu, when I look at the link you had, it mentioned that Durendal was made of four sacred parts (One tooth of St. Peter, blood of St. Basil, hair from St. Denis, and a piece of the raiment of the Virgin Mary) hence the quatre (french for four). Marinus also has had a reputation for having a sense of holiness (See St. Marinus and Marina the Monk).

Not only that, the background for this form says that the gods and goddesses wanted to seal the sword away, and Roland, according to legend, wanted to destroy the sword to no avail. So he ended up hiding it under himself and later throwing it into the cliff wall of Rocamadour.

I honestly think that Gumi wanted to keep this as historically accurate as humanly possible and possibly intended it to be so.
