Biography[edit | edit source]
Throughout most of her life, Sétnae was fascinated with death. Sétnae grew to learn about the poisonous plant life and how their consequential effects increased every time if they were combined with sacrificial blood. Her extensive knowledge caught the attention of the Children of Danu, and accepting the cult's invitation, Sétnae helped them rid their opponents as she continued to expand her knowledge on other fatal poisons. Due to her experience and expertise, Sétnae became one of the most valued and treasured member of the cult.[1]
The title, The Cursed, was found when the Viking jarlskona Eivor Varinsdottir assassinated The Wren and recovered clues from her personal effects. From Ciara ingen Medba's investigation, The Cursed worked in a cottage in the village of Tuam.[2] Within The Cursed's cottage, a note was recovered and detailed about how people noticed sounds coming from the underground cavern below the village. Within the cave, a lair of the Children of Danu was found as well as notes about an upcoming ritual led by The Cursed. A cave prisoner also detailed The Cursed's plan to use her prisoners as sacrificial lambs for the ritual. The Cursed's púca found Eivor and Ciara following them and it led them to Lackanscaul.[3]
The Cursed's identity was determined to be Sétnae. Alongside her acolytes and her púca, The Cursed attacked Ciara and Eivor, but to no avail. The Cursed was fatally wounded as she was the last dark druid left standing. As Sétnae faced Eivor, she was punched down to the ground. With her last words, Sétnae cursed Ciara for her "betrayal." Before she could finish, Sétnae succumbed to her wounds. Upon her death, Sétnae left behind her amber shard from her personal effects, as well as two more clues involving the member known as "The Deer" and the Ollamh Druid called "The Oak".[3]
