Cantre'r Gwaelod



The Sunken kingdom of Cantre'r Gwaelod is the last remnants of Arthurian England; Hidden in a regio located in what is now Cardigan Bay the lands of Gwaelod are currently stuck in a Civil War Between the Iorwerth Clan and the remaining seven clans. The Kingdom was rediscovered by the Magna Cirice in 1192 whilst trying to locate the legendary cauldron of her ancestor Cerdiwen.

The Eight Clans
Locations in Gwaelod:
 * Lleyta - City of Clan Hefin. Visited by Cirice in 1192.
 * Priffdinas - The greatest city in Gwaelod, currently sealed away. All the clans are needed to free it but Iorwerth refuses. A dark presence is sealed within, being sought by Iorwerth who hope to free it without also freeing the other residents of the great city (such as Morfran). It is likely this dark presence is the creature of darkness and wood Morfran dealt with to save Gwaenod from the flood.

Other People/Groups of Note:
 * Carwys Hefin - Former Clan Leader of Clan Hefin, mother of Baxtorian. Her location is currently unknown as she disappeared in contemplation.
 * Morfran - Knight of King Arthur. Once ally to all eight clans. Sealed within Priffdinas along with the dark presence..
 * Cerdwyn - Close associate of Morfran. Known to have travelled with him to Gwaelod.
 * Clan Cryir - Splintered from Clan Iorwerth after Priffdinas was sealed, later believed to be wiped out by Clan Iorwerth (presumably so they could not represent the main clan in unsealing Priffdinas). Their emblem is an antlered bear.

Information Obtained:
 * The area was separated into its Regio allowing it to escape a great flood.
 * Crystals are oddly plentiful in Gwaelod. It is unknown if all crystals can be 'grown' by smiths here. The crystal seed that is Priffdinas was granted by Myrddin.
 * The only person known to have made it out of Gwaelod is Lord Duros Amlodd who sailed the twilight sea to escape and was the lone survivor of the voyage. His goal was to find the 'Temple of Light' which is aiding Clan Iorwerth. A year later he met his end at the hands of a man serving the Ascian Emet-Selch.

The Temple of Light:
 * A force outside Gwaelod aiding Clan Iorwerth.
 * As of 1192 it has 'nearly been unearthed'.
 * It can focus power towards Vim.
