History
In the late 9th century, Viking jarlskona Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan visited Tara alongside her cousin, Bárid mac Ímair as attendees to Flann Sinna's coronation to High King. During the coronation, Abbot Eogan mac Cartaigh blessed and presented Flann Sinna the title of High King while Flann's royal poetess, Ollamh Érenn Ciara ingen Medba, sang a song in honor of Flann.[1]
After the defeat of the member of the Children of Danu known by the cryptonym of "The Oak",[2] 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 the Lia Fáil, which gave Ciara powers she sought to use to save her druidic religion. Eivor came to reason with Ciara and 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.[3]
