The Golden Pelydryn is the eighteenth chapter of The Castle of Llyr. Here is the climax of the book, in which all of the themes previously established -- the unfortunate effects of magical enchantments; willing self-sacrifice for the sake of others; the well-intentioned accident or blunder; and the oath given which must be upheld -- are fully realized.
