Arawn Celtic God of the Underworld

Arawn is a Celtic Welsh god that is the leader of the underworld. He is talked about in the Mabinogion from the Story of 'Pwyll Lord of Dyfed' and also in 'The Spoils of Annwn'.



Pwyll meets the god when he is out hunting around the fringes of his kingdom, and irritates Arawn by allowing his hounds to be free on a stag currently being hunted by him.

Ultimately they get into a bargain were they will exchange places for 12 months in each others form, that did not go well. :(
