Description
The Kingdom of Gwynedd is led by Cadwaladr ap Cadwallon, the famous 'Red Dragon' who boasted that he would kill every Saeson man, woman & child to reclaim the lands lost to the Brythoniaid, & yet he remains an uneasy ally of the Miercna as his father was before him. For Cadwaladr - as Cadwallon did - recognises the limitations of his people, their limited numbers & their reliance upon the ancient pacts with the dragons & their kin, & so he looks elsewhere for the strength to resist the marauding Northumbre to the east, the desperation of the ?rainn to the west & the devastation wrought by the Fomoraic & the Norse beyond them. Other, more ancient pacts with the beasts of the crags & the coast are remembered & the strength of the wolf to the east is sought: for strength is something Cadwaladr knows Gwynedd & indeed all the kingdoms of the Brythoniaid need, no matter where that strength comes from, if they are to survive in this age of darkness.
Gwaelod, by its very nature as an archipelago, is a scattered & individualistic community. Caer Wyddno, Gwaelod Mawr, Maes Gwyddno, Dugadw, Cynfelyn - these are all separate & distinct parts of the land of dragons in which reside dyndraig, cawrdraig & draig alike; but it is only in Cynfelyn that Glaun & other bull-dragons like him, other tarwdraig, are found. Stubborn as mules, wild & unbroken, Glaun & his kind may be lesser draigs to some but what they lack in wit is more than made up for in sheer strength & ferocity, & it is to both Gwyddno Garanhir & Cadwaladr's credit that they - like Cynfelyn of old himself, whom the Romanii called Cunobelinus - have the will & the means to use the tarwdraig against the enemies of the Cymry in battle.
