Bleiddyn

The Bleiddyn Tribe
The Bleiddyn (blade-dyon) have several old and conflicting origin stories, some of which are touched upon in The Restitute. They are intrinsically tied to the Spring Court of the fae in all of them, however. The tribe has its roots in Britain. The tribe divides itself between the Wirborn, the actual werewolves, and their human relatives.

At the time of The Restitute, the Bleiddyn are almost extinct. They'd suffered heavy losses when wolves were hunted to extinction in Britain. During The Revival, they began to resurface but kept their nature hidden from humans. When an infernalist cult, the Ebon Circle, successfully unleashed The Halfgan from Annwn in 1999, most of the Bleiddyn died in the war against the demon. The Wirborn that survived belonged to one of three factions: the ferals in the Brecon Beacons mountains, the fae-blooded servants of the Spring Court, and the refuges who reached Heron Island.

Mythic History
The Bleiddyn have two favorite myths about themselves. In the first, the sun god Lleu Hyperion took a wolf pack and gave them human forms as his personal servants. Bleidd was the leader of this wolf pack and he fathered children with several of Lleu Hyperion's fae daughters who became the first Bleiddyn. In the second, Bleid was the child of two fae princes, GwydionGwydion and Gilfaethwy while they were cursed by the uncle King Math to wear the shapes of a pair of mated wolves.
