He is dissatisfied with his life, and longs to become a great hero like the High Prince Gwydion . Due to the threat posed by a warlord known as the Horned King, Taran is forbidden from leaving the farm and charged with the care of Hen Wen, the oracular white pig. When the pig escapes, Taran follows her into the forbidden forest. After a long, fruitless chase he is attacked by a host of horsemen galloping toward his home, led by the Horned King himself. He manages to escape, but drops, wounded, to the ground. He awakes to find his wound treated by none other than Gwydion, the crown prince in Prydain&#8217;s ruling House of D\u00f4n (, who has been traveling to Caer Dallben to consult Hen Wen. Gwydion, determined to find the pig, takes Taran along with him. Guided by Gurgi , a hairy humanoid living in the forest, they reach the Horned King&#8217;s camp, and learn that his target will be Caer Dathyl , the home castle of the House of D\u00f4n. Gwydion determines to warn the royal court, but the group is attacked before that can happen&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to the Sanctum Secorum podcast.
