Holy Grail

The Holy Grail is the quest object in Camelot. It is located at the exact center of the Round Table. Due to the nature of hyperbolic geometry, however, this center is very difficult to find: the area of the Round Table is exponential in its radius, so even a table of modest diameter (the first Camelot the player encounters has a diameter of 55 tiles) contains millions of tiles, making it practically impossible to guess the location of its center once its rim is no longer visible on screen.

Collecting one Holy Grail unlocks the Orb of Trickery in Camelot and the Crossroads. Collecting 3 unlocks it in all lands. After the player finds the first Holy Grail, each successive Camelot will have a progressively larger Round Table.
