Arawn





Wales. Silver-Tounge.King of the underworld, Annwn.
God of the land of the dead. Revenge, terror, war.

Arawn battled with Havgan (Summer-white). Arawn lost and went to the upper world in serch of a mortal ally. Pwyll was out hunting and saw a pack of hounds chasing a stag. The hounds were shining white with red ears. He ran them off and claimed the stag, only to have a horseman dressed in grey and carrying a hunting horn ride up. This was Arawn and the dogs were his. To atone for the discourtesy, Pwyll changed appearances with Arawn and went to the underworld. There he managed to kill Havgan. Then the two men returned to their own shapes and countries.
