Old One in the Forest

Following the Bághnard war, the Gál Haspeada begin to wreak havoc in the forest regions and in the border city of Chathair Uleadh itself. It is estimated that 800 of the order of assassins are active during the night, attacking and killing both personnel from 
the regular armed forces, and the Order of Light. Their aims are unknown, though it is said that they are under the command of a leader, a black-bearded man with one of his eyes replaced by a crystal stone. He is known as "The Old One in the Forest", and is said to be 300 years old, to live in a roundhouse with a tunnel to the underground kingdom for the Others, and that he is hunchbacked and supports himself on a cane which lives and on which a black raven is sitting. The raven travel far and wide and tells The Old One news on Order of Light movements. It is said that The Old One knows Za'ahene magic, that he can transform himself into a bear or a tree, and even teleport himself. It is said that all Gál Haspeada fighters are brought to the Underground Kingdom of Námh Máugh where they meet the Elf Queen Vámar and are served wine and sexual favours by fairies, in a forest forever in the light of a setting sun, with a golden sky and trees that goes up to the firmaments that 
keeps the real world standing. For three days, the Gál Haspeada are in this magic realm, until they fall into a deep sleep. When they awaken, they are considered ghouls and are shunned by their parents, who often have buried them already. Promised to return to Namh Maugh, they thus 
swear to kill ninety times ninety times ninety Raidhsénians.
