Talk:Gwyn, Lord of Cinder/@comment-4391714-20141218002917

Haven't done much research into this yet, but I think Gwyn might be at least somewhat based on Gwyn ap Nudd of Welsh mythology, at least in concept. Gwyn ap Nudd being a great ruler with a "blackened" face. Plus Gwyn means bright, white, etc.

On a side note for any Witcher fans, Geralt's nickname is the White Wolf. The elvish version of this is Gwynbleidd. Also Gwyn ap Nudd is related to the real-world mythological Wild Hunt.
