	The Green Knight
		Then the Green Knight said to the king, "Your daughter was sad, and was certainly not thinking of me when she gave you her message, for she can never have heard of me; she was probably thinking of the churchyard with its many green mounds, where alone she hoped to find rest.
		She was astonished when her father told her about the Green Knight, and gave her his greetings and the book, for she had not thought of a human being, nor had she the faintest idea that a Green Knight existed.
		The knight told her that he was the Green Knight whom the king had visited, and from whom he had received the book, and that she herself had brought him thither by reading those lines.

	RPGnet : A Brief History of Game #5: Green Knight Publishing: 1998-2002
		Green Knight resisted the urge to produce a d20 Pendragon (probably to the franchise's ultimate benefit, since it had always stood upon a well-themed ruleset), but this left it in the unenviable position of trying to claw and fight for shelf space amidst the surge of d20 books, without using that same advantage itself.
		If Green Knight had produced any of the notable books they had in their queue, they might have done so, but as it was they lost much of the shelf space they had left, and with the Pendragon RPG receiving even less attention in stores, it was inevitably doomed.
		Green Knight's greatest contribution to the hobby overall was probably keeping the Pendragon line alive between 1997 when Chaosium ceased publication and 2005 when White Wolf began.

	Sir Gawain and the Green Knight Summary by Anonymous
		Arthur stood by solemnly and watched the Green Knight ride into the hall, for he knew nothing of fear, and asked the knight to step down off his horse and join them at their feast - whatever he had come for could wait until later.

		The Green Knight said he was pleased, and then asked that Gawain not accept the axe stroke in King Arthur's court, but instead seek out the Green Knight at his castle and accept it there.

	The Greene Knight: Introduction
		Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is by acclamation the most subtle, learned, and enjoyable of poems about this chivalric hero, as well as one of the great narrative achievements in the English language.
		Yet the strangeness of this outsider in The Greene Knight is much modified from Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, first of all by the insertion of conventional episodes like the exchange with the porter and the irritable response of Sir Kay to the initial dare.
		Gawain's knightly role is to encounter the marvelous and bring it within the realm of the familiar; in The Greene Knight he succeeds in taming the mystery of Sir Bredbeddle, the dangerous love of his wife, and the magic of her mother.

	Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
		The knight was thus gaily dressed in green, his hair falling around his shoulders; on his breast hung a beard, as thick and green as a bush, and the beard and the hair of his head were clipped all round above his elbows.
		The knight bore no helm nor hauberk, neither gorget nor breast-plate, neither shaft nor buckler to smite nor to shield, but in one hand he had a holly-bough, that is greenest when the groves are bare, and in his other an axe, huge and uncomely, a cruel weapon in fashion, if one would picture it.
		The knight turned his steed to the mound, and lighted down and tied the rein to the branch of a linden; and he turned to the mound and walked round it, questioning with himself what it might be.

		This fact might suggest that the Green Knight is some diabolical agent hostile to the civilized world of the Round Table and that the world of Morgan the Fay and her brother Arthur are locked into some permanent enmity.
		That, indeed, seems to be the Green Knight's main concern and the basis of his good-humoured politeness to Gawain after the beheading ritual.
		In Arthur's court, greenness is a nice colour to have on a decorative piece of clothing—there seems to be little sense that the colour green, as represented in the person of Green Knight or his wife's girdle, might be a reminder of something more important than courtly clothing.
