Rhiannon ap Idris (hree-AN-on ap ID-riss)
First Voice of Brynwydd (Current)
Rhiannon ap Idris was born in the misted hills of Gwynedd, where stone circles and forest paths wove the memory of Brythonic tradition into daily life. She was marked early for her voice — not loud, but lyrical, with a cadence that made listeners lean closer. The Whisper schools nurtured her gift, training her not only in rhetoric and logic but also in song and bardic recitation. To her mentors, she seemed a bridge between the old bardic orders and the rational councils of the Accord, proof that poetry could refine reason.
As First Voice of Caer Afallach, she is only in her thirties yet already carries the air of an elder bard. Her personal life reflects her culture’s openness: she maintains a long-standing union with a woman who is herself a harpist, while also sharing companionship with a fellow council member whose family she helps care for during festivals. Rhiannon speaks often of kinship as a weaving of threads — no single strand defines the whole, but together they form strength and pattern.
Her private joys are simple but rooted in heritage. She walks the hills at dawn to compose verses, often leaving them carved lightly into bark or whispered into stone, believing that places remember words as much as people do. Music, too, is never far from her — in quieter hours she plays the crwth, an ancient bowed instrument, her fingers moving with meditative ease. For those who know her well, it is this devotion to rhythm and lyric that makes her such a compelling Voice: she leads not by decree but by reminding others of harmony already present.
