Llywn Llwyd is a Nocker Freehold in the Principality of Dyfed in Cymru, the land mortals know as Wales.
Overview[]
At the border between Dyfed and Powys lies the now-deserted mine and grotto of Llywn Llwydd. In the 19th century, the place was a hive of activity and one of the richest mines in Wales. To ease the difficulty of life during the Interregnum, the nockers in the area formed a freehold near the mines, living cooperatively with the miners, most of whom were good men of strong stock. The miners believed that the nockers protected them from danger, while the nockers thrived on the miners' faith. Sadly, the miners abandoned Llywn Llwydd in the mid-1960s for more profitable ventures further south. The freehold is now a virtual ghost town, though a few nockers supposedly hang on, hoping the mine will reopen. Considering the bad press mining receives, this doesn't seem likely.
