		Now the Afanc is a legendary Welsh water monster something like, say, the Loch Ness Monster, and this afanc of the Conwy Valley was an enormous beast who, every time he moved about in his lake, caused waters to swell and break over the river banks.
		The chains of the afanc were loosed, and with a roar, the monster leapt into the lake that was to become his new home.
		No one near here minded that the afanc lived there because the lake was already full of other unpleasant creatures and it was too far away from their good farming land for any damage to be done.

		It was already called Caer Afanc, but it really was not much of a theme page, and seeing as just about everything I do has to have a theme, my brain began ticking away as to how I could make it into more of a real castle.

		In its delicately nuanced charm, the ‘Afanc King’, while accommodating violence, was intended to offset that novel’s sometimes lurid grimness.
		The images for ‘The Afanc King’ are not intended to be literal illustrations of the text but rather suggestive of the atmosphere of the realms that this mythic story moves through.
		Aiming to convey the multi-layered realities of a tale that is constantly ‘breaking the skin between one world and another’, in Christopher Meredith’s words, she uses the language of symbol to explore such themes as transformation (associated with the element of water), isolation (island existence) and destination (homeland).

		In Iolo Morgannwg's forged third series of Triads in the Myvyrian Archaiology, much is made of a figure called Hu Gadarn, who, is said to have brought the Cymry from the Summer Country (called Deffrobani) to Britain.
		Hu and the oxen dragged the afanc to Llyn y Ffynnon Las, where it is magically imprisoned.
		The comparison with Peredur is significant, as Peredur is also said to have drawn an afanc out of a lake, this time with the help of a stone that rendered him invisible.

		Now an Afanc is a sort of magical beaver, found in a number of Welsh lakes, and they were far more scary in those days than they are now.
		King Arthur was passing through (yes, I know...) and defeated the Afanc, throwing it into Llyn Cau, which is way up near the summit of Cader Idris, a good few miles to the NE.
		Another version of the tale recounts that it was in fact Hu Gadarn and his team of wondrous long-horned oxen which dragged the Afanc out of the lake, something he had done before in a number of Welsh locations.

	Additions and Corrections
		Thomas, of Bancau Bryn Berian close by, has communicated to me certain echoes of a story how an afanc was caught in a pool near the bridge of Bryn Berian, and how it was taken up to be interred in what is now regarded as its grave.
		Peredur's lake afanc may have been a dwarf; but whether that was so or not, it is remarkable that the weapon which the afanc handled was a ffechwaew or flake-spear, that is, a missile tipped with stone.
		[03] With the role of the girl in the afanc story compare that of Tegau, wife of Caradog Freichfras, on whom a serpent fastens and can only be allured away to seize on one of Tegau's breasts, of which she loses the nipple when the beast is cut off.

		Yeah the Legendary Afanc is a hard mob to bring down.
		When you see the afanc, you will know how easy it will be to get his hide to make the cloak
		Getting the exact item that someone else got from the random items would be harder than killing Afanc over and over to get his cloak.
