Conlae
Conlae (died c. 879), also known as "The Blaze", was an Irish Druidic priest in the cult known as the Children of Danu. Conlae held the title of Lord.
Biography[edit | edit source]
As a child, Conlae could not handle the discipline brought down upon him from his parents. In response, Conlae nailed their door shut and set his house aflame, burning his parents alive. With his new independence, Conlae joined the forest druids and became infatuated with the ritual fires. Conlae soon followed and learned the ways of the fire druids. Despite his acceptance into the Children of Danu, Conlae was never a true believer of the cult's cause. Nevertheless, Conlae continued his work for the cult, due to his innate and dangerous love for flames.[1]
The cryptonym, The Blaze, was found by the Viking jarlskona Eivor Varinsdottir when she killed The Ash and recovered a clue from The Ash's personal effects. The clue was a note to The Ash as The Blaze committed arson killings within the village of Bally na Gall. However, The Blaze was reluctant of his fiery crime due to having to dig a grave near the village's waterfall. A note on the recently dug grave was found and detailed that The Blaze's pyro-fanatic actions costed him the love of his life. In response, the arsonist would set more houses ablaze between Black Pig's Dyke and Clogher as tribute.[2]
Between the burned houses between the two locations, a note was found on top of a table within a semi-destroyed building. The final clue revealed The Blaze's identity to be Conlae and about his current actions of arson on homes, north of Black Pig's Dyke. The note stated that Conlae wanted to burn down the entirety of Ireland. Conlae was walking forward on his path, while behind him was the destruction he left in his wake. Conlae was found and assassinated by Eivor, who retrieved his amber shard and another clue involving the member, "The Mist," from his personal effects.[2]
