This story follows Amergin, druid and chief bard of the Galicians,
a group of Celts living in Iberia during the fourth century BC.
After years of decline, the Galicians hope that the unexpected
arrival of Phoenician traders, led by Age-Nor, will help restore
their prosperity. Unfortunately, neither side has anything worth
trading. At a reception in the Heroes' Hall, Age-Nor is attacked by
Amergin's brothers, and the druid uses his bardic talent to
entrance his murderous sibling, thus saving Age-Nor. Age-Nor
rewards Amergin, despite the bard's vehement protests, by giving
him a servant, a shipwright named Sakkar, and regaling him with a
tale of a fabled land to the north, Ierne. After a series of
mishaps and bad decisions, the tribe builds a series of ships with
the help of Sakkar, and sets sail. But when they arrive on Ierne,
they are confronted by a mysterious people who will one day fuel
legend and myth: the Tuatha De Danann, People of the Goddess Danu.
