We suggest that this is the site of Pwyll's stronghold in North Dyfed.

The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim She is currently working on a new album, that is much 'folkier' and more like the music that made her famous - we can't wait. In the meantime, check out all of her links and watch the amazing video of her singing "The Dragonborn Comes" from the Bethesda Game Skyrim. You can download the Music/Chords for this song from her website and, for those interested in the language of Dragons that she sings at the end, here it is:- Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin Naal ok zin los vahriin Wa dein vokul mahfaeraak ahst vaal ahrk fin norok paal graan fod nust hon zindro zaan Dovahkiin fah hin kogaan mu draal   Huge Thanks to Special Guest Actors   Damh the Bard Damh the Bard Damh, taking on the role of Arawn and other parts in the second half of our re-telling of the First Branch, is a musical storyteller who works within the world of myth that cannot be proved; where the Faerie really do dance on Midsummer's Eve, where the trees talk, and the Hollow Hills take you into the realms of Annwn. Where the Goddess rides her horse, guiding you to magic, and the Horned God of old calls us from the shadows of the Greenwood. You can find out more about Damh and his work on his website at paganmusic.co.uk or on our Contributor page.   Cerri Lee Cerri Lee Cerri Lee, playing the role of the Queen of the Otherworld, is a multi-talented visionary artist who can turn her hand to almost anything creative. She is inspired by nature, and the ancient Pagan myths and legends of many cultures, her beliefs as a modern day Druid as well as those around her. Cerri is equally in her element when she is up to her elbows in clay or painting one of her fabulous pictures. She is partner to Druid musician and long-time supporter of our show, Damh the Bard and can be found supporting him at many of his performances.   Extra Special Thanks to Show Friends   Portcullis Portcullis A special thank you to Jason, Sue and Haydon for the wonderful courtly sounds of Portcullis playing Pretty Lady that can be heard as the Minstrels playing at the court of Arawn in this episode.
