9th century Hill of Tara

The Hill of Tara is a ceremonious site in Meath, Ireland. This hill held the tradition of being the inauguration site of the High Kings of Ireland and also is home to the ancient standing stone, Lia Fáil.

History

In the late 9th century, Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan visited Tara, as an attendee of the coronation of High King Flann Sinna, alongside her cousin, Bárid mac Ímair. During the coronation, Abbot Eogan mac Cartaigh blessed and presented Flann Sinna the title of High King while Flann's poetess, Ciara ingen Medba, sang a song in honor of Flann.

After the defeat of The Oak, Flann Sinna initially agreed to have druids either leave Ireland or become Christians. Feeling betrayed, Ciara left Eivor and Flann had the power to activate Lia Fáil, which gave Ciara powers in order to save her druidic religion. Eivor came to reason with Ciara but eventually stopped Ciara before she went too far. After stopping Ciara, Eivor saw that the power of Lia Fáil was removed and thus all that was left was a remnant of the stone.
