I'm Welcome, you're listening to Druidcast 26.

Music Praise to the power who orders highest heaven, and to the shores of earth extends dominion.

Fast in the turning castle, Gwyer was prisoned.

In Kair Sidi by Puls and Pridari's Malasan.

No one before Gwair suffered the like confinement.

The chain that bound him was the boundless ocean. No one before Gwayer suffered the like confinement.

The chain that bound him was the boundless ocean.

Among the wealth of the dead his lamentation,

and Dolores his song till the day of doom.

We went there thrice the fill of the ship, Prudwen.

None returned from Spiral Castle but seven men. none returned from Kair Sidi except seven.

From the pearl-rimmed cauldron of the Lord of Anun,

There will be brought to these a bright sword of doom that will be left in Flemenauk's hand.

In the gate of coldness, horns of light were burning. In that high campaign of the king we were his companions.

None returned from the castle of Revels but seven men. None returned from Cairoveduit, except seven.

Am I not worthy of fame and song forever, in the four-cornered castle and the island of the strong door,

where shadows and the darkness meet together, and bright wine brims over in every beaker,

thrice the fill of King Arthur's ship,
