Pryderi's armies were expected to make up the bulk of Caer Dathyl's defenses. Yet Pryderi had grown scornful of the petty bickering between the cantrev lords under High King Math's rule, and secretly made an alliance with the Death-Lord, believing that his rule offered the only prospect of peace and unity. Pryderi's arrival at Caer Dathyl proved disastrous for the Sons of Don, for though Math's forces under Gwydion had gained advantage and begun to push Pryderi's forces back, Arawn's deathless Cauldron-Born arrived, slew King Math and laid the fortress waste.

  • Pryderi's armies were expected to make up the bulk of Caer Dathyl's defenses. Yet Pryderi had grown scornful of the petty bickering between the cantrev lords under High King Math's rule, and secretly made an alliance with the Death-Lord, believing that his rule offered the only prospect of peace and unity. Pryderi's arrival at Caer Dathyl proved disastrous for the Sons of Don, for though Math's forces under Gwydion had gained advantage and begun to push Pryderi's forces back, Arawn's deathless Cauldron-Born arrived, slew King Math and laid the fortress waste. Having destroyed one strong point of Prydain, Pryderi sought to make an end of the other as well: the small farm of Caer Dallben, which none of Arawn's forces could safely approach. Challenging the aged enchanter Dallben with a dagger made specially to kill him, Pryderi learned the horrifying truth: just because Dallben had never killed didn't mean he couldn't. A ring of flames had sprung up about the farm, ready to descend if Pryderi stabbed. Realizing he had been betrayed, Pryderi grabbed for the other object of his quest – the Book of Three, Dallben's mysterious tome of lore and prophecy. Yet the book would bear no evil hand and destroyed Pryderi with lightning.
