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 tribe that endures. Both proud and stubborn,
Finians do not budge when their beliefs and
customs are attacked.
The Fir Domain:
The tribe of the growling shields. 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 and the Cambrian Mountains:
Dinas Emrys is known as the Eternal Fortress,
because it has always been atop Snowdon and
always will be.
