Ceannlaidir

God of War and Great battles: Ceannlaidir is the most skilled warrior of all, and is at home with any weapons, from the most simple he can cast entire armies down in battle. His great love for battle and conquest are unquenchable. He is honor, a Warrior’s pride and gives his worshippers blessings of the fight and favor in battle.

Temple Location: Piet

Ceannlaidir’s Allies:

Fiosachd: His quick and silent nature is beneficial to any seeking an upper hand on a great battlefield. As he is prayed to for luck, so to is he integral in the grand scale of battle. Luck is one of the most common aspects attributed to victories over many Deochs.

Sgrios: Sgrios’s great hunger for the souls of fallen Aisling’s and destruction of all makes him an apt ally to the God of War. The conquest and grand battles of Ceannlaidir bring more spirits to shamble, War and decay hand and hand. Plagues are also common amongst the wounded soldiers of grand battles.

Ceannlaidir’s Enemies:

Glioca: Her love for all things and desire to battle no one cast Ceannlaidir against her. Unable to tame her great compassion, he has disavowed any involvement with her since their union brought forth Cail.

Luathas: Keeper of Gnosis, the divine wisdom, and the logic and wisdom of Luathas. His way of thinking holds no physical confrontation or great battles in mind. A search for intellectual balance has the potential to draw potential fighters and warriors of the path of a Grand battle

Ceannlaidir’s Opposite:

Cail: His son’s path of harmony, nature, and humility are very much reversed of Ceannlaidir’s great pride, honor, and skill with all weapons.

Special Notes:

Ceannlaidir is the Patron God of Warriors. To enter his temple one must be armed with some sort of weapon, for Priests and Wizards this includes staves, but claws will not suffice for the Monk. Pets generally are also not welcome by the Clergy of this temple.

Supplications/Entreatment

Invigorate: Call the Ceannlaidir for the great blessing of holy speed and grace of movement to the group. (a long lasting mor beannaich-like spell)
Bless weapons: The shimmering essence of Ceannlaidir clings to the weapons of the Worshipper’s party for an extended battle; they slice, hit, pierce, and sting more potently with this gift of Ceannlaidir. (extended fas deireas)
Give strength: The hidden strengths of the Worshipper’s group are brought out for an extended length of time, as the muscles of even a Wizard will bulge with added brawn from this blessing. (Much like creag neart)
Primal fire: Summon the raw power of a warrior’s will down upon an enemy. (Likened to ard srad)
Dragon presence: The fire and fury of the dragon becomes one with the combatants in the group of the Worshipper who summons this great beast’s power. Great amounts more of damage and ability to land blows come from this power. However, the ability to sustain this takes great deals of vitality from the fighters, until the essence of the dragon’s power leaves the body. (The spell will take vitality down in ticks, until it reaches about 30-40 hit points, and will remain there unless healed or the spell wears off)
Massacre: A very dangerous spell, the secrets of this spell are only partially known, however, the burning desire to conquer within violently escapes the Worshipper’s body, guided by Ceannlaidir’s hand, and it is meant to destroy all enemies within site. This is not to be used lightly, however, and has sent many unknowing souls to Sgrios. (It seems that it is intended to drain your vitality and willpower to near death, but has been known to kill those who attempt. Do not attempt this if you are ungrouped)
Songs of the shrine: Holy scrolls that hold the ancient power of a return blessing. Upon singing the song on the scroll, the Aisling is taken to outside the temple. It will give the Aisling an amount of Piet songs based on their faith and if they were assisted.
