Penkerdd (Chief Bard {Wales})
lower status than the ollaves of Ireland; the Penkardd sat left to the Heir Apparent, and equalled the Chief Smith in rank.

Sidhe

Wild Hunt
Led by Gwyn ap Nudd (a version of Wodin); hunted with a pack of white-bodied, red-eared dogs that rounded up the spirits of evil-doers.
