If you’ve already read The Stolen Throne, you will know that Annwn plays a large role in the story, but what exactly was this mysterious place that plays such a central and awe-inspiring role in Celtic tradition? Let’s step into this otherworld to find out…Īrawn, Lord of Annwn, with his otherworldly hounds There are two prominent lords of Annwn in ancient traditions: Arawn, and Gwyn ap Nudd. In Part V of The World of The Stolen Throne, we’re going to be taking a brief look at the realm of Annwn, the sort of place it was, and some of the more prominent traditions around it.

However, this book also delves into Celtic myth and legend which makes for an interesting addition to the series.

As with all other books in the Eagles and Dragons series, The Stolen Throne has elements from ancient Greek and Roman religion and mythology.
