A MERLIN VOCABULARY GUIDE


G
for
 GWYNEDD

The region where Emrys and Branwen washed ashore.  "...everything, from the local gods to the local names, was changing....people were now calling this region, long known as Gwynedd, the country of Wales.  But to call it a country at all was to imply a kind of unity that did not really exist.  Given the number of travelers and dialects that passed through just our little village every day, Wales seemed to me less a country than a way station."
