The Lady of Shalott

Description

Banished to a tower outside Camelot, the Lady of Shalott is forbidden to view the world except through a reflection in her mirror. She weaves the mirror's visions into a tapestry.

Catching a glimpse of Sir Lancelot riding past her tower, she risks an unknown curse and gazes directly toward Camelot. The mirror cracks, the curse begins.

With nothing to lose, she leaves the tower, tapestry in tow, and floats down the river towards Camelot, to meet her fate.
