Arawn

Arawn

Take a trip to the (not-so)-dark side to visit Arawn, lord of the Otherworld. His realm is called Annwn, but just because he's the king of all things awesome doesn't mean he only stays there. Arawn likes to take day trips to go hunting—you can often find him in the neighboring kingdom of Dyfed, chilling with his pal Pwyll, or chasing a deer with his really loud hunting hounds.
