A golden cauldron. A vanished kingdom. A curse born of vengeance.

Today, we follow Manawydan, Rhiannon, Pryderi, and Cigfa as they walk into a world emptied by enchantment… a story of patience, jealousy, and the unseen forces that shape our lives. From a kingdom stripped bare, to a mysterious golden cauldron that steals mother and son, to a swarm of enchanted mice that hold the key to breaking the curse — this is Welsh mythology at its most terrifying.

This tale is more than legend. It’s a mirror to our world today: envy, revenge, temptation, and resilience. What will you take from it?

👉 If you’re new here, we’ve already told the First and Second Branches of the Mabinogi — but don’t worry, this story stands on its own. After you finish this one, go back and see how it all began.
