Welsh Creatures

Welsh creature lore moves between mountains, forests, lakes, and market towns joined by drovers’ roads. Encounters cluster at standing stones, church lychgates, bridges, and woodland edges tied to seasonal fairs. Symbols include carved slates, harp motifs, woven tokens, and markers on gates and wells. Entries provide Welsh and English forms and note orthography in chronicles and song. Roles include guardian of passes, tempter at pools, keeper of flocks, and omen that teaches restraint and honour. Use tiles to browse by county, habitat, or theme, then open cards for sources, variant names, and visual motifs.
