Mawredd

(Last update: 19/9/96)

(this page written by Richard Peaty)

The new familiar of Fionn mac Mathgen. Fionn bonded to him to make up for the loss felt from Peists death. The new bond did not compare to the old, and Mawredd and Fionn have not got on too well.

Appearance

Nasty to meet on any type of night, dark or otherwise. He has an imposing appearance which was best described by the witnesses to his first visit to the covenant after his bonding...
"Standing there was a monstrous beast, easily 12' high. It stood upright like a man, but on cloven hooves. Two oversized arms ended with wickedly curved talons. The head was the worst - a terrible combination of stag and man, with tuskes like a wild boar. A crown of antlers swept upwards and outwards, brushing the ceiling whenever it moved its head. Magi scattered."
This, and his ...baleful eyes of emerald green... tend to make mundanes, and Magi uneasy.

Notes

Mawredd has not exactly lived up to Fionn's expectations as a replacement for Peist. In fact Fionn has several scars from Mawredd obtained during the Spring when Mawredd challenges him to Rut. Needless to say Fionn tends to leave Mawredd alone in Spring and Summer, waiting for Mawredd to calm down in the latter part of the year. Still he is an impressive Familiar!
