Discover Tale of the Clans!

Grab a steaming cup of tea…or mead if you wish.

Sit a spell.

Let us talk of things that are…and things that were.

If fortunate, we may find ourselves in a forgotten age.

An age where Irish cattle lords vie with foreign jarls for dominion,

Where bards spin tales, brehons establish law, monks inscribe annals…

And Maidens alter the course of Kings!
