A MERLIN VOCABULARY GUIDE
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."
