Hafgan

Lux Ferre November 13, 2017

Hafgan was the ruler of an Otherworld, a realm of death, which shared his name. He is the rival of Arawn, King of Annwn. Their legend is retold in the First Branch of the Mabinogi. Hafgan could only be killed by a mortal. Arawn switched identities and places with Pwyll, Lord of Dyfed (ancient kingdom in what is now southwest Wales). Pwyll killed Hafgan. Arawn then ruled Annwn and Hafgan’s realm as one united kingdom.
