On the occasion of a feast in the court
of Aberth in Dyfed, a clap of thunder was heard and a thick fog
descended, rendering all invisible. When the fog lifts, everything
has disappeared: people; cattle; houses... the only people left are
Manawyddan and Rhiannon, Prideri and Kigva. After surviving for
several years from hunting, they decide to leave for England in order
to find work... ..
