	Immediately following the abbot's death, a conference between Ireland's kings and Flann Sinna was held about Eogan and to an extent, the druids in Ireland. After rash deliberations, an inquisition was made against all druids, Children of Danu or not, to either reform as Christians or be exiled. Eogan's deception led to the inquistion, which made Ciara soon activate the ''Lia Fáil'' to stop anyone coming after her people. However, even with Eogan's death, the Children of Danu's plan of using Ciara to activate the stone was finally halted after Eivor intervened. Putting a stop to the stone, Eogan and the cult's plan failed as Eivor saw the stone destroyed.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Wrath of the Druids'' – [[The Cost of Betrayal]]</ref>		Immediately following the abbot's death, a conference between Ireland's kings and Flann Sinna was held about Eogan and to an extent, the druids in Ireland.
