Sir Killian MacTaggart


KillianThis was another great opportunity for me to use this fun Irish chain verse!

Sir Killian MacTaggart
Crucible Fighter, Winter Crown Tourney, A.S. XLVIII

(Irish conachlonn)

Heroes spring from affording great deeds
Deeds that require courage and strength
Strength to stand while others are falling
Falling the way of fallible swords.

Swords clapping shields deliver the pace
Pacing observers join in the march
March of the Heroes bring forth their King
King of these lists, the best of Caid.

Caid springs from this bold Irish knight
Knight and knight brothers assure the day
Day delivers the best of them all
All draw nigh to honor our heroes.
