The setting is post-Arthurian civilization. Explanation: The Buried Giant is a fantasy work written by the acclaimed author Kazuo Ishiguro. This novel depicts the life of an elderly British couple during post-Arthurian times, where the populace suffers from short-term memory loss. The couple, Axl and Beatrice, are uncertain about the whereabouts of their presumed son and embark on a quest to find him. In this narrative, Saxons and Britons coexist peacefully. Throughout their journey, they meet Sir Gawain, who once had a mission from King Arthur to slay the dragon Querig but failed. A Saxon knight, Wistan, saves a boy named Edwin from ogres and joins Axl and Beatrice in their quest, intending to locate Querig and kill it. Eventually, Axl, Beatrice, Wistan, and Sir Gawain reach the dragon's lair, where it's revealed that Sir Gawain was meant to safeguard the dragon, leading to a duel in which Wistan kills him and slays the dragon, which restores the peoples' memories and rekindles old hostilities between Saxons and Britons.
