#first illustration caption: maintained was Gwair’s prison in Caer Siddi
#second: Lleog’s flashing sword was thrust into it
#(though I made it a spear for a better composition)
#third: monks congregate like wolves
#quick explanation of Gwair:
#likely either Gweir ap Gweirioed or Gweir ap Gwystyl
#or a combo of both
#Gweirioed is known for being a prisoner likely of the Isle of Wight or Lundy island
#potentially connected to the first branch of the Mabinogion
#Gwystyl is named in peredur as one of three knights from Arthur’s court and is frequently referenced for his dismal dispositation and sadnes
#caer siddi is likely meant to be a reference to the fae
#mead feast fort and several other names are given to it later
#other translations have been Mound Fort (like fairy mound)
#the fort is in the otherworld/annwn
#Arthur and a retinue of men went to the otherworld to
#supposedly retrieve a cauldron
#specifically a cauldron that is one of the thirteen treasures of the island of Britain
#likely the cauldron of dyrnwch the giant
