The Lady of the Lake first appears in the Tomb of the Nameless, as the Wizard confronts the Nameless Knight. Although she was physically being held captive in Dolorous Tower at the time, she mustered up enough magic to briefly appear, take the Sword of Kings from the Nameless Knight, and return it to its proper place in Avalon Castle.
The Lady of the Lake plays a significant role in the Wizard’s journey to recover the Sword of Kings, and save Avalon from the Pendragon. She also assists the Wizard in becoming a full-fledged Knight of the Silver Rose.
The Lake Shore surrounds the sacred Lake Nimue. Lake Shore connects the Outer Yard of Castle Avalon to the southwest and Deepwater in the depths of the lake. It is where the Lady of Lake reveals that your wizard has been prophesied to restore Avalon. Nimue is the given name of the Lady of the Lake in Thomas Mallory’s Le Morte d’Arthur
The Lady of the Lake is a name or a title used by several either fairy or fairy-like but human enchantresses in the Matter of Britain, the body of medieval literature and mythology associated with the legend of King Arthur. They play important roles in many stories, including providing Arthur with the sword Excalibur, eliminating Merlin, raising Lancelot after the death of his father, and helping to take the dying Arthur to Avalon. Different sorceresses known as the Lady of the Lake appear concurrently as separate characters in some versions of the legend since at least the Post-Vulgate Cycle and consequently the seminal Le Morte d’Arthur, with the latter describing them as a hierarchical group, while some texts also give this title to either Morgan or her sister.

Although I am well versed in Pop Culture references, I do not claim to have caught them all. Let me know your favorites in the comments and if I’ve missed one you caught, let me know so I can add it to the list.
