I mean... So, Arthur's swords.
A thing to remember about Arthurian 'canon' is that it's a recursive seven-layer bean dip of stories, fanon, fanfiction, and fix-fiction designed to one-up previous fanfiction. (Galahad was entirely created just to one-up Lancelot because a writer REALLY hated Lancelot)
From my very limited understanding, the modern take of Arthur having Caliburn and Excalibur, one coming from the stone and one from the Lake. I believe that Caliburn and Excalibur, phonetically, come from the same sword name just with different pronunciations later. And if you go by which came first, I think the 'Sword from the Lake' thing was a later thing.
THAT BEING SAID... This is Scion. I say embrace the craziness and the contradictions. I'll go with Arthur having multiple swords, and with different people disagreeing which sword was which, which one came from the Stone, which one was tossed from the Lake, which one broke...
