: Hm. Looking back, you may be right, I was never extremely
: well-versed in that stuff. I think I recall something
: abotu Charlemagne giving the sword to Roland. Or maybe
: it was Cortana he gave to him. Or something. Anyway, I
: just knew that Durandal and Cortana wound up both
: being swords from that type of thing, and Bungie AI's.
: Lemme see if I can't dig up the old info on Marathon's
: Story and get back on that.
: Apparently Joyeuse means "Little Girl" in
: French (as I know from being the butt of some rather
: immature jokes in my time), but I dunno if that has
: any bearing on the name of the sword.
