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.
Standing with Galhwch Lladd Llaw amongst the human Warriors of Gwynedd are yet more of Gwaelod, Dyndreigiau of fire & savagery of which Gwyddol is but one, revered kin of the dragons & wakened to anger through the devastation wrought by the barbarians across the seas. Gwyddol himself cares little for humans & their short, capricious lives but he can see the reasoning behind the alliance of Cadwaladr & Gwyddno Garanhir, for the Dyndraig may be powerful but they are also few: & what, then, if the hated Norse & the brutal Fomoraic destroyed what little remains of the Brythoniaid if not a descent upon tranquil Gwaelod & the plunder of its lands & its treasures & its inhabitants? Thus it is that Gwyddol lends his might & his blade & the flames within him to Cadwaladr's cause, & in time, he thinks, he may well see the humans as his ancestors saw them, as allies of dragon-kind.
