These guys were dark over Ireland in the last years of the 16th century. Leadellists invaded by England with even some of her own nobles betraying her by pledging their loyalty to Queen Elizabeth. Aaron was pronged until, in the North, a smoldering fire flamed forth again.

The predestined boy had come, whose advent of clear conil seer had long ago foretold. The long-promised leader of Eren, young Huyo Donald, Eeyo Ruoy, the golden-haired golden voiced, deadly foe of England, whose flaming star rose to brighten the dark skies of Ireland.

Elizabeth knew what to do. Young Huyo was captured, and along with Art O'Neill imprisoned in Dublin Castle, the seat of English rule in Eren. For four long years they languished in chains, and then, on one snowy Christmas Eve in 1519, The guards and soldiers of the Queen were gathered together in the banquet hall to celebrate the Eultide.
