In threads and verses where both Eiluned and Elyan survive, Elyan is the first to believe that their son is gone. He doesn’t ‘give up’ per se, but he will be the first to accept that Alun is dead or beyond their grasp and they’ll never be able to find him. Eiluned, however, absolutely refuses to accept this, and never falters in her belief that he’s alive and waiting for them. She knows they’ll be together again, and they just have to keep searching. Nothing anyone says shakes this for her.

In some ways, yes, she is refusing to even consider it a possibility, but she can’t see that. Her denial is so strong that, like Taran believing he’s nobly born, she can’t acknowledge that Taran might be dead. Many will see her as deluded for it, but more sympathetic people just consider her tragic.

Under the cut, I’m gonna put what I have so far for Eiluned & Elyan. And if anyone is interested, feel free to message me. Cause I would be so thrilled if someone wanted to write Elyan. Knowledge of the Chronicles of Prydain isn’t necessary for him as it would be for Taran and Adaon, though I’d love to have them too, no lie. Content warnings for stalking and sexual harassment, as well as miscarriages and stillbirth.

Eiluned and Elyan are the birth parents of Taran, the main character of the Chronicles of Prydain. In the books we find out that she and his dad were killed in a battle and the enchanter who took Taran in and raised him didn't know who they were.

Eiluned is an orphan herself, her dad died before she was born, and her mom died giving birth to her. She's raised in the castle of King Pryderi, a minor character mentioned in the last book. She works as a maid most of her life until Pryderi decides that he wants to marry her, because of her beauty. However, Eiluned is in love with Elyan, who’s a gardener. Pryderi, however, doesn’t take that well, and plans to force the marriage anyway. Essentially Belle and Gaston.

Before the forced wedding can take place, Eiluned and Elyan flee the castle, and Pryderi’s lands. They run across the country, and stop for a while at Caer Dathyl, castle of High King Math and Prince Gwydion; the latter ends up becoming their son's mentor and hero in the future. Also the same castle where Adaon and Arianllyn reside. Gwydion is friends with Pryderi, as they come from a race called The Children of Don, who was a Welsh Goddess.

Gwydion marries Eiluned and Elyan, and she tries to warn him about how depraved Pryderi is becoming, already starting down the path that would lead him to his fate in the last book roughly 20 years later, but he doesn't listen. Elyan would have been happy staying at Dathyl, but Eiluned thinks Pryderi is gonna follow them. So they keep running until they either arrive at a location I have yet to determine yet. There’s 4 or 5 possibilities. I just have to do some reading and try to pin down which would fit best. They settle down there and Elyan becomes a farmer, and Eiluned becomes a potter. And they're happy. Eiluned, of course, is on edge for a while, and looks over her shoulder all the time, expecting Pryderi to come for her.

They do have some struggles having a family. Eiluned has 1 or 2 miscarriages, and a stillborn daughter, before Taran comes. And then the battle comes and they both die, but she hides Taran in the trees to keep him safe, and the enchanter Dallben finds him there and takes him into his care, as he’s been searching for him for years.

There are 3 witch type figures, who I can most closely equate to the Fates. Taran and other characters have encounters with them later. And I'm thinking Eiluned has some sort of connection to them. Like maybe she has dreams that guide her choices or something. Not exactly pinned down yet. And neither she or Elyan know exactly what their son's destiny is, but from the dreams and her own intuition, she knows it's something great.

I'm also thinking of Aus where Eiluned lives- in which case her fc will be Liv Tyler- and looks for Taran, where both she and Elyan live and look for Taran, and like a modern reincarnation thing? Where Don is like look you guys had a bad hand. We'll give you another chance. Arianllyn has a similar verse for Adaon.

Eiluned and Elyan are both Pagan. As is Prydain. Elyan is up for debate in modern stuff, and up to mun if they decide to take him. But Eiluned will remain pagan regardless of verse.

While at Caer Dathyl, Eiluned and Elyan spend time as well with Taliesin, his wife, and his little son Adaon, who later become Arianllyn’s fiance. Taran later meets Adaon and it's a thing. I'm going for as many connections between them and Taran's story and later life as I can get CAUSE FATE IS INTERCONNECTED DAMN IT.

Eiluned is very much like Ella, personality wise. She remains optimistic and faithful, good natured, and tender hearted despite all the hardships she and her husband go through.

SURVIVAL AU WHERE EILUNED ACTUALLY FINDS HER BABY AND HE'S ALL GROWN UP.

Taran’s birth name is Alun Uang, the first name means Harmony and indicates his destiny while the second is his father’s first name. Taran, on the other hand means Thunder. Elyan means A Moment In Time, and Eiluned means Much Desired. Her middle name is Siriol, which means Content.

Elyan calls Eiluned his primrose, and brings her primroses from the garden all the time.

Elyan’s full name, in modern threads, will be Uang Elyan Jin. The first and surnames mean Great and Gold. His paternal grandparents were immigrants to Prydain. His father was born there, and his mother and her family were Prydainians. His fc, Remy Hii’s father is Chinese-Malaysian and his mother is English.

Pryderi is stated to be good looking, harsh, and blonde. So his fc is likely to be Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. Nikolaj is 18 years older than Anna, and I did want an age and power gap between Pryderi and Eiluned.

In Prydainian verses, neither Eiluned or Elyan can read or write. But they’re by no means dumb. Elyan, as a gardener, can identify almost any plant by sight, and knows their uses. He knows some blacksmithing and fighting. Eiluned is a potter who also knows a bit of weaving, and though she can’t read, she can come up with stories and tunes with some ease. And in verses where one or both of them survive and find Taran, they’re proud that he can read and write, as well as sculpt, smith, garden, and weave. They’re also extremely proud of his accomplishments and skills.

The youngest age we see Eiluned is 18. She has Taran around the age of 22. And, at the most, he was 6 months old when the battle that killed Eiluned and Elyan took place. In that time, Alun/Taran was her world.

Taran’s late sister’s name was Lyn Dafina.

Pryderi uses his tactic mentioned in the final book, wearing an unsheathed sword until a battle is won, to intimidate the members of his household.

In modern threads and verses, Eiluned & Elyan both keep the same jobs they have in the Free Commots; a potter and a farmer respectively.

In threads and verses where she survives, Eiluned- with or without Elyan- claims a home no longer. She wanders endlessly from place to place, accepting shelter, food, and clothes from strangers, but refusing to rest or find a home until she finds her son, or she dies.

She will eventually live with Taran and Eilonwy once they find each other, and she never leaves her son’s side again until she dies.

In threads where she died, and her and husband’s spirits aided Taran and his friends, Eiluned sought the most, during Taran Wanderer, to show her son that far too often nobility were far from it, while the common people had much more honor to be proud of than the nobles. Taran did see this personally with Morgant, Goryon, Gast, Smoit, and Pryderi as opposed to Aeddan, Llonio, and the Commot men. Even Gwydion was not perfect, and Taran had to learn this the hard way.

In threads and verses where Elyan, or Elyan and Eiuned both die, their spirits are always with their son, and help Taran in many ways during his quests. Most of them are unsuspected, or seemingly small and insignificant, but play a greater part in Taran’s story than he could realize.

These include, but aren’t limited to:

bringing the Fair Folk horn to him and Eilonwy after the destructuion of Caer Colur

getting him and Eilonwy into Rhitta’s burial chamber, and getting Eilonwy to bring Dyrnwyn

leading the group to Gwystyl after escaping Annuvin

guiding them to where Adaon’s grave would lie

leading them to Glew and Llyan

guiding Taran through the woods to where he first met Gwydion

leading Taran, Gurgi, and Fflewddur to Craddoc

warning Eilonwy about the danger at Caer Cadarn & making her see Gwystyl leaving

sending Taran to save the baby Gwythaint, and having it return the favor

finding Dyrnwyn on Mount Dragon

guiding Dallben to baby Taran’s hiding place

Basically, any chance that proved to serve the bigger picture, or offered help and protection at impossible times, was orchestrated by Eiluned and Elyan. Eilonwy's parents, Angharad and Geraint, also helped their daughter in similar ways.

Another wish Eiluned always cherished was the dream of seeing the sea. She sadly never got the chance, but she may in threads and verses where she survives.
