Transcript
Tier once lived a Welsh prince who by the worse decree of Arianne Roet was forbidden to marry any mortal woman. To remedy this, the magicians Maath and Gwyddion brought together the blooms of oak, meadowsweet, and broom rank created a woman who they named Blodewit. The prince and Blodewydd were married at once. But after a year had passed, Blodewydd felt the calling of her own path and she fell in love with another man. As punishment for betraying her husband, Godyon turned Blodawydd into an owl, cursing her to live the rest of her days in darkness and be feared by all other birds. Perhaps Blodawith still dwells in these lands today, soaring high above valleys and woodlands in search of her springtime love.
