Answer: Lewen

Lewen fell for Rhiannon at this moment and named her for the women from the 'auld' story: "she rides so swiftly none can catch her", appropriate for Rhiannon.

Who writes this poem about Fettercairn Castle?

Answer: Landon

Landon is the budding poet on the journey. The other travellers don't think much of his poems, but his poem "Rhiannon's Ride" rouses the faery kind and plays a major role in the second book.
