The first in a series of Changeling: the Dreaming metaplot summary and discussion episodes. The ancient pre-history of the World of Darkness has many names, even just within the Dreaming ecosystem. Often named either the Time of Legends or the Mythic Age, the first period in the Dreaming metaplot is obscured by the Mists and an erratic development plan. Join Victor and Simon as we attempt to shed a little light on the possibilities and canon sources for information on this frequently referenced but rarely illuminated time before the Sundering.
The themesong from this episode was LSD by Mon Plaisir.

Honestly the main reason I find Gwydion an odd choice for the House name isn't that he's an awful person (I mean House Gwydion is full of assholes) it's that the mythological figure is a powerful sorceror and basically a trickster. He's always escaping consequences thanks to creative use of magical skill or breaking oaths and curses with letter vs spirit trickiness. He would have made a lot more sense as head of a house like Eiluned. Meanwhile Eiluned is a Welsh name with no particular mythological significance that I'm familiar with who is for some reason the sister of Ailil - an Irish name. If they wanted a moon- and-magic associated Welsh mythic lady, I mean Rhiannon is RIGHT THERE. I mean it's nice to see Welsh myth showing up (usually the Irish get all the attention!) but it really was a series if odd choices. Which is definitely me going off on a tangent but it's a rare section I feel qualified to weigh in on! I did find the run down of the real world shifts and pivots interesting though. Made me realise I was doing a fair amount of memory editing (like "oh but I'm sure the Menehune didn't literally boy believe ARCADIA would never close. Surely they just meant like... the deep dreaming RIGHT?") without really considering that no, there were definite textual shifts in play as times and authors changed.
