Pryderism

-----------------

 

Pryderism is the term used to talk about the Pryderi folk’s religion. “Biotheits”, most of the Pryderi population believes in two gods, Tywyll and Golau. However, if you ask a Pryderist Druid, he may tell you Cernunnos and Tywyll are the rulers of our world and Golau of the Underworld.

 

Pryderist Holy Scriptures:

“Y tu allan i'r dyfnder, rwyf wedi cryio at Thee, O Tywyll:  Tywyll, gwrandewch fy llais.
Rhwyll Golau i'ch clustiau fod yn ofalus  i lais fy nghais.
Os wyt ti, O Tywyll, yn nodi anghywirdebau:  Cernunnos, pwy fydd yn sefyll?
Oherwydd gyda Duw mae maddeuant drugarog: ac oherwydd eich cyfraith, yr wyf wedi aros amdanat ti, O Tywyll.
Roedd fy enaid yn dibynnu ar Ei air,  mae fy enaid wedi gobeithio yn yr Tywyll.
O wylio'r bore hyd yn oed y nos,  gadewch i Israel obeithio yn yr Tywyll.
Oherwydd bod yr Tywyll yn drugaredd: a chyda ef lawer o adbryniad.
A bydd yn achub Cymreicacch  rhag ei holl drallodion.
Gogoniant i'r Tad ac i'r Mab,  ac i'r Ysbryd Glân.
Fel yr oedd yn y dechrau, yn awr, a byth fydd, byd heb diwedd.”

Morgannwg 1:1, 1.

 

“Gobeithio ynoch chi, yr Tywyll, a Golau chi'n rhoi bwyd iddynt ar amser tymhorol. Golau chi'n agor eich llaw, ac rydych chi'n llenwi pob peth byw gyda bendith. Gogoniant i'r Tad, ac i'r Mab, ac i'r Ysbryd Glân, fel yr oedd yn y dechrau, yn awr, a byth fydd, byth byth.”

Llywellyn 2: 4,12

 

The Pryderi take both these passages from the Scrogliau Sanctaydd (Holy Scrolls) very seriously and if anyone disrespects, distorts or hurts those words in any way, they shall be executed. The word’s exact pronounciation were never known, for that is old, difficult, tongue-twisting Pryderian.

The Old Pryderian words are, in every church, carved into the stone walls behind the altar, alongside an image of Cernunnos and Tywyll, with an image of Golau under them.

The Pryderian are very serious when it comes to talking about religion. They do not take kindly to criticism on their religion, but are always looking for improvements related to the way they praise their gods, for they think it is insufficient.

Pryderism is a very traditional religion with a simple motto:

“Canmol eich argwlyddi”

‘Praise your lords’

Alongside the old Pryderian words stated previously, these words are always present aswell, only less important than the actual Holy Words.

One of the most recognisable periods of the Pryderist Church was the Years of Joy, when the Pryderi settled down and finally stopped moving and weren’t being ravaged and destroyed by disease. These years, the church manage to implement its authority fully on the society. The Pryderist Church, alongside Eóin Rhawena and his brother, the Dictydd, Gráeff Rhawena established the Church’s authority as a “second pillar that holds society, alongside the chieftains”.

The people took kindly to that, and thought they were safe, and they were for a while.

REFORMED PRYDERISM

Reformed Pryderism is frowned upon but accepted by many. It is the belief that all was created by Cernunnos and his children, Golau and Tywyll, rule over the north and south, respectfully, while two new deities, Gwynndow and Ffanduil, rule over the west and east.

As stated previously, while it is frowned upon by even the High Chieftain himself, the “New Pryderist Church” considers itself the maximum authority, denying the Hen Ffyd (Pryderist church’s name). The Gorchynymm Sanctaidd Newydd (New Holy Order, New Pryderist Church) has since talked with the folk of the Pryderi to accept the new faith and not the old failed Hen Ffyd.

 

--------------------------------------------

WYKYSS FFANDAY

The Wykyss Ffanday is the official holy army of the Pryderi. A warband similar to the others in the Pryderi, the one thing that distinguishes a Marchog (Wykyss Knight) to a regular brigand is their sacred tattoos, that adorn their forehead and some parts of their neck. The Wykyss Ffanday and Gorchynymm Sanctaidd have fought many battles, mainly the Battle of Hwenwyel, where a hundred Marchog fought off an invading two thousand Gorchynymm brigands, showing the true power of the Wykyss Ffanday and the Hen Ffyd, and silencing the Gorchynymm Sanctaidd Newydd for the next fourteen years.


 

--------------------------------------

GOLAU BFOR

The cult formed by a Pryderist apostate venerates the evil god Golau. Much as the cultists of the Canon, the Bfor offer sacrifices, feasts, mass murders or even their own body parts to satisfy “Golau’s Hunger” (Golau w Hwyl).

Much like the Gorchynymm, the Golau Bfor tried to institute a new holy order in place of the Hen Ffyd, claiming Golau was the true ruler of the Saith Ysguw (Pryderi heaven).

Fought off by the Marchogs of the Wykyss, the Golau Bfor were never seen again since the Battle of the Three Brothers (Gráeff fought in a front against Ylgulwndas, while his brother fought the rest of Ylgulwndas’s warband where his half-brother, Adeldard, died in battle)

 

------------------------------------------

DINISTRIWR ENAID

Dinistriwr Enaid, or Destroyer of Souls, was the title given to a man, named Wynne ap Oweinn, who defied his faith, creating a group of five rebels. When those five dead and only Wynne remained, he took upon himself to slay all the people who even thought of praising Tywyll and Cernunnos. After he swore that, he rode off to the villages, single-handedly plundering and killing all on his way. Wynne “Dinistriwr Enaid” ap Oweinn is sometimes known as the “representation of Golau on our world” and will be forever be recognised as an example of evil and hate amongst the Pryderi.
