About Cian MacLir

Cian is tall muscular and handsome with long golden hair, tanned complexion and flashing blue eyes. He has the light of the Summerland in his eyes and the music of Heaven in his voice marking him as one of the Tuath. Young for a Tuath Cian MacLir favors plain elk skin tunic and trousers, high boots suitable for riding or hiking, and a tooled leather headband with silver wire.

Cian MacLir was the son of Mannan MacLir and Catha MacLir. Cian was second son to Mannan and Catha with an older brother Dian, a younger sister Sabd, younger brother and sister Ian and Raitha who were twins, younger brother Dagda, and youngest sister Aine.

While his oldest brother and he were both noted for their piety and love of their goddess as children and both had voices suited to singing the praises of their gods as well as the deeds of their forefathers, only Dian had the necessary memory to learn all the songs and stories of the Tuath. Cian while disappointed was secretly pleased to learn that he had the necessary strength, valor, and connection to the divine to be a warrior for the gods what all Tuath considered their heritage and others called ‘paladins’.

Cian spent the next decade training diligently to forge his body and purify his soul to make himself worthy to serve as his honored ancestors served the greater gods that one day he might stand by them in the celestial host. Cian became a master of the sleá cath or ‘battle spear’ of his people favoring it over other weapons. Cian trained himself and his mount Pingin Airgid ‘Silver Penny’ to be one in battle. He felt nothing but regret that he had to leave his faithful friend and steed behind.
