Arawn Celtic God of the Underworld
Arawn is a Celtic Welsh god that is the leader of the underworld. He is talked about in the Mabinogion from the Story of ‘Pwyll Lord of Dyfed’ and also in ‘The Spoils of Annwn’.
Pwyll meets the god when he is out hunting around the fringes of his kingdom, and irritates Arawn by allowing his hounds to be free on a stag currently being hunted by him.
Ultimately they get into a bargain were they will exchange places for 12 months in each others form.
Pwyll will become Lord of the Underworld, and Arawn gets to be the Lord of Dyfed.
During this period Pwyll slays Hafgan a foe of Arawn that has been bothersome to his kingdom.
They each turn out to be firm allies simply because neither of them sleeps with the others spouse throughout their trade.
Arawn was as well the master of a magical cauldron with rejuvenating power, that would not boil a coward’s food. Arthur led a mission in to Annwn, Arawn’s Kingdom, to steal this treasured artefact. Arawn is additionally the guardian of the magical creatures inside his kingdom.
In lots of ways Arawn is a similar figure to Gwynn ap Nudd, they are both chiefs of the wild hunt and gods of the underworld. Their group of hounds share exactly the same characteristics, and Gwynn ap Nudd furthermore takes part in trades with other people.
Most likely they are 2 names for a similar archetype

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.
Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.
As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.
We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.
Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.
Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"
A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?
After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...
Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
