Arawn, also known as Lord Arawn, the Death-Lord (also spelled Death Lord), the War Leader and Arawn Death-Lord, is an evil warlord with unspeakable dark powers who is the main antagonist of the Chronicles of Prydain book series by Lloyd Alexander. He is based on the Celtic god of death in Welsh mythology which he is named after. He is also the master of the Horned King.
Arawn was intended to be the main antagonist of Disney's 25th full-length animated feature film The Black Cauldron, which is based on the 1960s fantasy novel series The Chronicles of Prydain by the late Lloyd Alexander. Like his original incarnation, he would have been a cruel warlock king who desires to find the Black Cauldron to use his powers to conquer the world of Prydain. He was replaced by the Horned King in the final project, who filled his role, because the animators felt that people would like the Horned King better since he had horns (similar to Maleficent and Chernabog). However, Arawn did receive a part in the movie. During the prologue, the narrator talks about the history of the Black Cauldron and how Arawn came to become it. Arawn is the minor antagonist of the film Black Cauldron.
There are several signs that the Horned King once served under Arawn as he says that now the power shall return to this world. Another sign of his connection to Arawn is that while being sucked into the Black Cauldron, he shouts, "Nooooo, Master!"
I do not own Arawn or the soundtrack they belong to their respectful owners.
