Eredin Breacc Glas, King of the Wild Hunt - now theres an intimidating name!
Do you want to know what it actually means?
Kind of takes away from his big skull-face plate helmet, eh?
Its no coincidence that Eredins name can be translated to Irish.
So Eredins squad are basically called the Red Red-Haired Kings - yes, they call themselves red twice.

Im only poking fun.
If you reckon Im just clutching at straws here, I regret to inform you that youre totally wrong.
The Wild Hunts relationship with Celtic mythology goes way beyond a few character names.
They come from a parallel universe that partially exists alongside our own one.
But thats just a coincidence, right?
Thats grand, Niamh (probably) said.
Just dont fall off your horse, alright?When Oisin got back, hundreds of years had passed.
Everyone he knew was dead.
Anyway, the Wild Hunt comes from this spot called Tir na Lia.
Yeah, just another coincidence.
Not based on Oisins story at all.
All just one great big happy accident.
Like many aspects of The Witcher, the Wild Hunt takes inspiration from multiple sources.
Ultimately, though, most of the prescriptive information on the Wild Hunt is cleanly derivable from Irish.
I mean, he might have thought it meant Master of Darkness or something, but nope.
It just makes him a puny little fish that’s a bit past its expiration date.
