POLL TIME: Quarter Final 1 😈😈
A recap of each:
Myrddin - OG Merlin, he's not actually associated with Arthuriana - and the Welsh myth stuff - until much later. He's one of those who was an irl lad but got incorporated into the mythos at a later date. He was a bard gifted with the power of prophecy (as all bards were thought to be in Celtic society) and was said to have gone mad after the Battle of Arfderydd in which his king and bestie Gwenddoleu died and then he fled into the woods. This gave him the epithet 'Wyllt' or Wild cuz obviously if ur living in the woods then u ain't gonna exactly be living ur best life.
Olwen - She of the white track. MY WIFE. The woman who Culhwch does nothing for on his quest but still gets. She's the daughter of the giant Ysbaddadden Pencawr and little white trefoils sprout wherever she walks. She's great.
Culhwch - cousin/nephew to Arthur (I always get confused. He's the one who causes Glewlwyd no amount of pain after he arrives at Arthur's court after the knife is in the meat and the mead has been poured. Why? FOR A QUEST! He wants to marry Olwen, the daughter of Ysbaddaden Pencawr and needs his cousin's help to do it. He doesn't do much on his quest but he gets points for participation, I guess? Long story short he does marry Olwen though which is nice. Bet she was thrilled.
Peredur: the big lad shall we say, the one you're all the most likeliest to know. The undertaker of the Grail Quest before Galahad, thinks knights are angels, besties with Owain and Gwalchmai, @nekomaidmordred 's fave lad.
