The Chronicles of Prydain	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Generations of youngsters have struggled in vain to pronounce the names in The Chronicles of Prydain, a five-book series of fantasy novels by the late American author Lloyd Alexander. Based (very) loosely on the Mabinogion and taking place in the fantasy world of Prydain, which bears no small resemblance to Wales. The novels feature a series of epic adventures in a land of High Fantasy, but place more emphasis on the protagonist's growing maturity and his journey into manhood.Long ago, the land of Prydain was a rich, and prosperous land, renowned for its craftsmen who knew many great secrets about shaping metal and firing clay. Arawn, the local Evil Overlord, would have none of that, and using his cunning and trickery he stole away those wonderous treasures and secrets and locked them away in his fortress, Annuvin, where they would serve no one. The once fair land fell into decay and surely would have fallen under Arawn's power had not the mighty and heroic Sons of Don arrived in Prydain and united its people in an alliance against Arawn's forces. Years have passed and the Sons of Don have maintained peace, but there are those who fear that the people have grown too reliant on their new rulers, the lesser lords constantly feud with each other for foolish and petty reasons, and Arawn is still lurking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Enter the protagonist, Taran, Assistant Pig-Keeper to the oracular pig Hen Wen. A boy seemingly in his early teens who was orphaned as an infant, Taran is thrust into the conflicts between the Sons of Don and Arawn as they struggle for the rulership of Prydain. Taran is an ambitious, headstrong youth who initially leaps at any call to adventure and believes himself capable of great things, but in truth he often finds that leading a heroic life of adventure is not all as romantic and exciting as he would have thought. Over the course of the novels, Taran grows from a callow, stubborn youth into a genuinely wise and noble young man, and in the end, learns the hard way what it truly means to be a hero.Joining Taran on his adventures are his loyal group of lovable companions, whose interactions are one of the most enjoyable parts of the series:Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })Eilonwy: An enchantress and princess who talks constantly in similes and serves as a romantic interest for Taran. She's also a Tsundere and a bit of an Action Girl. One of the earliest modern examples of a Rebellious Princess.Fflewddur Fflam: A loud-mouthed bard and king who has a tendency to theatrically exaggerate accounts of his own adventures. He carries a magical harp whose strings break whenever he "colors the facts". (They break often. Even moments of modesty count against him) His catchphrases are "A Fflam is (insert appropriate adjective here)!," and "Great Belin!"Gurgi: A shaggy creature who speaks in rhyme. At first he has a tendency to be a Dirty Coward but he grows to become brave and loyal, and comes to admire Taran for his wisdom and call him "Master."Doli: A member of The Fair Folk, a grumpy dwarf and Jerk with a Heart of Gold. Complains a lot. He has the ability to turn invisible (by holding his breath), but hates to do so as it causes a horrible ringing in his ears.Gwydion: The Wise Prince and mentor to Taran, a great warrior and war leader whom Taran looks up to and idolizes immensely. He leads the Sons of Don in their battles against the forces of evil, taking the role of a Supporting Leader.And normally a book-specific Guest-Star Party Member or two, such as Adaon the Warrior Poet and Ellidyr Prince Charmless in The Black Cauldron, Lord Error-Prone Prince Rhun in The Castle of Llyr and Glew in The High King, who takes over the Dirty Coward role from Gurgi.The series contains five books as well as one anthology which also serves as a prequel:The Book of Three (1964)The Black Cauldron (1965)The Castle of Llyr (1966)Taran Wanderer (1967)The High King (1968)The Foundling and Other Tales From Prydain (1973)Disney produced a movie version of The Black Cauldron in 1985, which notably blended elements from the first two books. In 2016 it was revealed Disney plans on taking another whack at the series with a live-action film being put into development.Also, The Book of Three has a freeware game adaptation by Lysander86, the developer of A Blurred Line and Phantasy Star III remake; and an ongoing webcomic adaptation with exceptionally high-quality artwork by Saeriellyn, which is currently (as of July 2017) about halfway through the first book.

And for further inversion, her beauty fades after her sort-of Heel–Face Turn in books four and five, possibly implying that a lot of it was magical glamour and she lost the power (or maybe just the inclination) to maintain it. In fact, Lloyd Alexander uses this trope against us: both Morgant and Pryderi are presented as attractive, when in fact they both turn out to be bad guys. Eilonwy, however, is the trope played perfectly straight. We have no idea whether Taran plays it straight or not, because not a single aspect of his appearance is ever described in the whole series.

When facing the giant wild cat, Llyan, Taran can't help but appreciate the magnificent creature and when Fflewddur had the opportunity to slay her, he didn't. Whether it was out of animal appreciation or cowardice or a mixture of both is never clear, but the end result is that Llyan becomes Fflewddur's mount and pet by the end of her debut book and he dotes on her every bit as much as she dotes on him.

The Chronicles of Prydain / int_398692d6	type	Kill 'Em All
The Chronicles of Prydain / int_398692d6	comment	Kill 'em All: Many, many characters died in the last book, The High King. Perhaps for this reason it's left off many a school reading list that contains the other four books in the series. This is despite the fact that it won a Newbery Medal... The closing body count at the end of the book is: Coll, Magg, High King Math, Annlaw Clay-Shaper, Llonio, King Rhun, King Pryderi, Arawn, Achren, and Taran's gwythaint. If you count returning to the "Summer Country" as a metaphor for death (which it is in some belief systems), then the book also claims Gwydion, Fflewddur, Llyan, Doli, Taliesin, Gurgi, Glew, the Fair Folk, and the Sons and Daughters of Don writ large, since following Arawn's death The Magic Goes Away, so to speak.

Also Eilonwy, who starts out rather bratty and temperamental, growing into a mature and compassionate person by the end of the series. Some of her development is off-page, as she does not appear in the fourth book. In fact, almost every major character gets some important development, but Taran and Eilonwy are the most noticeable since the books span their adolescence.

It will only serve good people with honorable and honest intent. Similarly, Gwydion's sword, Dyrnwyn, can only be drawn (safely) by those of "noble worth." Taran (and others) initially think this means only one of the Sons of Don (due to the fact that they originally mistranslated that part of the inscription as "Royal Blood"), but in a critical moment Taran himself is able to draw the sword when his intention is pure (to defend someone else, not to attack in anger) and after undergoing Character Development in the fourth book, where he developed the personal nobility to wield the sword without falling to evil.

The Chronicles of Prydain / int_3c3f28a5	comment	Blessed with Suck Doli and his invisibility powers, which make his ears ring and hurt. Also Fflewddur's harp, which is of excellent quality (and enchanted), but it's almost always in need of repair, since the strings keep breaking every time Fflewddur stretches the truth. The powers Eilonwy and her mother inherited provide the wielder with a lot of power, but they also did neither of the women any good. As an enchantress, Queen Angharad was expected to marry a man born with magical powers of his own, and ended up banished when she decided to elope with a man who she loved, but who gained his magical powers from his own efforts and not birth. Eilonwy, meanwhile, only uses a magic spell once in the series, which doesn't even really work. She was kidnapped from her mother as a baby because Achren wanted to steal her powers, and ends up abducted and brainwashed in the third book, because of this plan. After that, she can't even use her powers, though she still has them. The last straw is in The High King, when she learns that her latent magic is still enough to mean she has no choice but to leave Taran and travel to the Summer Country, which she declares as being "worse than unfair" because she never asked for said powers. When Dallben informs her of a way to be rid of them, she does it without a second's hesitation.

Fflewddur does much the same. He's not especially reticent about the fact that he's a king, but he also readily admits that he doesn't like the job of ruling and isn't as good at it as the chief steward he leaves in charge while he's living the life of a wandering bard. Eilonwy is a Princess Incognito in the first book, never directly mentioning her status as heir to a royal dynasty (though she does say that she's "of the blood of Llyr Half-Speech, the Sea King"); somewhat justified in her case, as her ancestors' castle is a ruin and the kingdom no longer exists as such.

The Chronicles of Prydain / int_5717e34	comment	What doesn't help is that Welsh has seven vowels, each with two or more pronunciations - A, E, I & O sound roughly like you'd expect, but U sounds like I in all aspects and W is pronounced 'oo', in various ways. And Y has four pronunciations - it normally sounds like an I or a U in the last syllable of a word, or 'uh' elsewhere. This is actually quite hard to forget. No, really. Some editions do have a pronunciation guide in the back, which indicates that the names aren't all pronounced the same as Welsh (for example, Gwydion is pronounced "gwih-deeon", rather than the "gooyd-eeon" pronunciation given in The Mabinogion.)

We never learn who Taran's biological parents are. And we never learn who/what Arawn really is. After he's killed, he reverts to his true form which ends up lying face down on the floor, but before anyone can go near him, his fortress starts to crumble and everyone has to split. Though with Taran, the fact that it's not revealed, and in fact probably can't be revealed, is part of the point. He's not just the son of any two people, but all of Prydain, noble and common alike.

The Chronicles of Prydain / int_64070096	comment	Cowardly Lion: Gurgi means well, but whines and cowers when he feels threatened and runs at the first sign of danger with no regard for his companions. Fortunately, he grows much more brave and loyal as the series goes on. The running away is somewhat justified though, in that Gurgi has no way to defend himself, particularly in the beginning and particularly against the sort of enemies that they always end up facing. When he runs away from a pack of Cauldron-Born (who are pretty much invulnerable soldiers) and later gets slated by Taran for doing so, Eilonwy's response is that while Gurgi's actions certainly weren't brave, they really weren't stupid either, and that she couldn't see what possible use there would be in Gurgi standing there waiting to be killed The above incident is doubly justified in that it occurs quite early on, when Gurgi has only just met Taran and has no idea whether Taran will defend him (or even if he can defend him) or abandon him, especially given how Taran first treats him. And let's not forget that Gwydion also orders Taran to run as soon as they first encounter Cauldron-Born. Gurgi just doesn't need to be told

The Chronicles of Prydain / int_7f080f98	comment	Vague Age: Everybody, really, but it's most notable with Taran and Eilonwy. It's generally understood that the series begins when they're prepubescent and ends around the time they reach adulthood; the only other clue to their ages is that Eilonwy is one or two years younger than Taran. In the last book, Dallben even keeps it deliberately vague by mentioning an event that happened around Taran's birth as having happened "as many years ago as you yourself have years."

Later, she is overthrown by her more powerful protege and consort Arawn, and is moved to Spiral Castle. The castle is (unwittingly) destroyed by the heroes, robbing Achren of her powers, which she attempts to replace by controlling Eilonwy. She is also repeatedly spurned by the object of her affections, Gwydion. By the fourth book, she's a powerless refugee who works as a maid in Caer Dallben. Quite a long way to fall.

Later on it is revealed that while she was mostly accurate, she mistranslated the last bit - it actually read "noble worth", and Gwydion's strength of character (and Taran's lack of it) was the reason behind who could draw the sword.

The Chronicles of Prydain / int_a9de87d2	comment	Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Gwystyl deliberately hides his competence and badassery, and does it so well that he can come across like a wiener while helping Taran and his crew break into a castle. Fflewddur Fflam is the less than popular king of a tiny kingdom and a minstrel who tells grandiose lies. By the end of the first book we find out that he is also a deadly swordsman and a tried warrior. Amusingly, a prequel short story implies that most of the time, Fflewddur himself is unaware of his own badassery.

It's Justified in that Arawn can be killed when he leaves Annuvin and takes a mortal shape, and would rather not risk his own life when he has a horde of Huntsmen, gwythaints, deathless Cauldron Born etc. Arawn is also portrayed as more of a trickster or Old Scratch figure who prefers to get what he wants through manipulation and guile rather than overt shows of force.

Somewhat subverted, in that Taran (and therefore the reader) does not learn that she is a princess until literally the last page of the first book — when Dallben mentions it casually. Eilonwy herself never drops so much as a hint, except when noting that "mine are the people of Llyr Half-Speech, the Sea King." Her royal heritage is a plot point in the third book, but otherwise, she never concerns herself with princessdom very much. Her informed princessdom is justified, in that she is Last of Her Kind, so in political terms her heritage is largely moot.

Llyan, the big cat, becomes this for Fflewddur. She's big enough that he can ride her like a horse. In the second book there's also Islimach, Ellidyr's horse, who has been reared for this since birth.

Subverted slightly in that Dorath never states precisely what it is he intends to do to her; he says instead that "perhaps [Taran] will even recognize [her] charms, whatever may be left of them." The dialogue is written just vaguely enough that the book's younger readers only know that Eilonwy is in danger, without knowing the specifics that might traumatize them. Older readers can ferret out Dorath's meaning for themselves, as Eilonwy did. It is possible that he had something else in mind, however.

While not revealed until the very end of the series, there is a prophecy in the Book of Three that Arawn would be defeated by one "from no station in life". This is Taran, whose known heritage is limited to being the son of somebody on a massive battlefield in which everyone other than the infant Taran was killed, without any evidence as to who among the dead were his kin.

The Chronicles of Prydain / int_e34ada78	comment	Authority Equals Asskicking: Played straight, especially with Prince Gwydion and King Smoit. In a land like Prydain, you only become royalty by being able to kick everyone else's ass. Averted, ironically enough, with Arawn. His greatest strengths were always trickery & deception. Subverted every so often, depending on the situation. One notable instance is when Taran finds out about how two noblemen living in King Smoit's domain constantly are at each other's throats, causing damage to innocent civilians in the process. Smoit's usual solution is to try to knock sense into them and shove them in his dungeons. Taran suggests he try something different, since it clearly isn't working. His proposed solution centers around humbling them and showing them the severity of the damage they've caused (making them serve as laborers for the farmer whose land they destroyed) as well as finding a third option for what to do with the prize cow they were fighting over (give it to the same farmer, and have the cow's next, equally-valuable, twin calves be split between the two). Since the two noblemen are seen standing peacefully together at the end of The High King, it presumably left an impression on them.

The Chronicles of Prydain / int_e4cf1ef0	comment	Load-Bearing Boss: Half the architecture in Prydain appears to be held up by villains. Spiral Castle collapses after Achren is defeated in The Book of Three, but it was more of a happy accident. Eilonwy removing Dyrnwyn (a load-bearing sword) from the forgotten underground barrow of the king who built Spiral Castle is what actually leads to its collapse. Meanwhile, offscreen, Gwydion's success in resisting Achren's attempt to break him also destroyed the prison of Oeth-Anoeth, where she was having him tortured. Caer Colur collapses after Achren is defeated in The Castle of Llyr, though this has nothing to do with Achren herself - it's a direct result of Eilonwy giving up her ancestral spellbook. In a non-villainous example, Dallben claims that his home will be consumed with magical fire if he is killed, along with anyone foolish enough to kill him. He may have been bluffing about this; we never actually find out either way. In The High King, Annuvin is destroyed when Arawn is slain.

Taran refuses because it was given to him by his guardian Dallben and first put on him by the girl he loves. After agreeing to fight Taran unarmed for possession of the blade, Dorath treacherously pulls a dagger and steals it. At the end of the book this proves to be symbolic, because Taran faces Dorath again, this time fighting with a sword Taran had forged himself, and when the two swords meet, it is the sword of his childhood that shatters.

The Chronicles of Prydain / int_fdc1e848	comment	Will They or Won't They?: Dragged out until the very last page of the final book with Taran and Eilonwy. They Do, of course. Eilonwy lampshades the whole situation with her response to Taran's marriage proposal: "Well, indeed. I wondered if you'd ever get round to asking. Of course I will, and if you'd given half a thought to the question you'd have already known my answer."

The Chronicles of Prydain / int_ff16efbf	comment	Heroes Want Redheads: Eilonwy, whom the narrative notes has red-gold hair. A lot of artwork inaccurately depicts her as blonde, however, probably because of The Film of the Book. And when she is shown with red hair (see some editions of The Black Cauldron), it's pure red, not the more subtle shade that "red-gold" is probably supposed to describe.
