Rhiannon is Prydreri's mother. She appearently comes from the Otherworld and is associated with horses. Although, she also owns a flock of magical birds, she is never seen with them. An attentive mother, Rhiannon remains dedicated to her son even after he is a grown man. This attention is likely due to the way she was falsely accused after his mysterious disappearance.
