I've been thinking about swans again, which probably means I'm deep enough into the Brodyr Alarch world that it's starting to think back at me.

Swans in Welsh and Celtic mythology are rarely what they appear. They carry enchantments, wear transformations like second skins, and move between worlds with a grace that makes the crossing look easy when it never is. The Mabinogion is full of creatures that belong to two states at once — neither fully one thing nor the other — and swans embody that ambiguity more completely than almost anything else in the tradition.

There's something about that liminality that feels endlessly useful for storytelling. A character who exists between worlds is a character with a particular kind of loneliness and a particular kind of power. 🦢
