Tir Nan Og is the legendary Celtic
Land of the Young, a world rather like a legendary
version of Northern Europe in a time before much of
that continent sank beneath the waves. The four Tribes
of the Earth Goddess, on whom the Sláine stories
concentrate, are threatened on all sides, with the
constant risk of the Fomorians sweeping down from
the icy north, the Drune Lords encroaching from the
south and the ravages of the berserkers of Midgard
in the east.
Tir Nan Og is a land full of heroes,
and full of great quests for those heroes to do. This
supplement aims to provide all you need to know to
wander the Land of the Young for decades, whether
as a mercenary or cattle-rustler, thief or adventurer,
tribal emissary or war-band leader. All the major
regions of Tir Nan Og are covered, particularly places
of interest and general geography.
The Sessair:
The tribe that stands up. These people consider themselves
the strongest, the fiercest and most valiant of the
four tribes.
The Finians:

The Fir Domain:

have a reputation for civility and sophistication.
Their wisdom is not only found in their counsel. The
Fir Domain fight using that most unlikely of Celtic
weapons - a plan.
The Falians:
The tribe of the shadows. Few things can unite the
Sessair, Finians and Fir Domain in a unanimous opinion,
but the Tribe of the Shadows, or Falians, is definitely
one of them.

Dinas Emrys is known as the Eternal Fortress, because
it has always been atop Snowdon and always will be.
