Málagh Bághnard

King Málagh Bághnard was the ruling King of the tribe of Námh Bághnard .
Following Gherregh's application and acceptance for membership into the Solastic Commonwealth, the Kingdom of Námh Bághnard attacks with two armies, one led by Prince Mórcar and the other by Princess Mórgaine, two of his seven children.
He has said that whichever of his children first sacks the barracks of Gherregh will become his heir.
==Involvement in War==
Three days after "The Battle of Three Battles", a Raidhsénian force of 1250 men lands outside of Lúghard, and marches the 11 miles to the town through a narrow rocky path. They nearly apprehend king Málagh, who - as a keen astrologer - was studying the skies for reassurances on the war. The king is garbing himself in the cloth of a woman and covering his face, and then pretends to be an old crone afflicted with a disease. The Raidhsénian force stops "her", asking for the road to Lúghard. The King points to the path and offers to lead them there. He does so, but as they approach the walled city, which is having such a broad wall that goats are grazing on its top and the royal citadel is built on top of the gate, the king sneaks in by a secret cave, and then alerts the city on the approach of the Raidhsénian army.
Lúghard feigns surrender, and allows the Raidhsénian army to enter the gates. However, when 100 men have entered, the Raidhsénians are cut off by a boulder being rolled over the entry to the city, crushing 26 men to death, including Order of Light leader Awáin Thíedad. The remainder of the 100 men, including all the bannermen, are then killed by archers and axemen who are attacking from the walls. The total Raidhsénian losses are 117 men, including 10 bannermen, 6 higher officers and the leader of the Order of Light. However, large swathes of Lúghard are scorched by fire. None of the Raidhsénian warriors are surrendering. Málagh is then ordering that their heads shall be hauled over the wall to the remaining Raidhsénian troops, who proceed to besiege the city.
==Death==
Not living long enough to see the end of the war or his heir decided, Baghnard dies in the year 34 TFD apparently from natural causes. His two heirs decide instead to fight each other in combat to decide who will succeed to the throne. Morgaine, is victorious, castrates Mórcar who is forced to flee into the mountains for the rest of his life.
