ESMERILLION


               Y gwyllt: The empire has withdrawn, Clas Myrddin is torn. The Young Bard, courtier, and warrior, is driven mad by the slaughter at the Futile Battle of Arderydd. Fleeing to the trees of Celyddon to seek his mystic pig, the budding sorcerer prophesies from apple tree to apple tree, “Before the child, bold as the sun in his courses, Saxons shall be eradicated, and bards shall flourish!” (Llyfr Du Caerfyrddin, ca. 1250 A.D.)
