Wurra-Wurra : $b A legend of Saint Patrick at Tara

In the mist‑shrouded days of early Ireland, a charismatic missionary arrives at Tara as guest of the king, only to witness the kingdom’s heart pound beneath the looming idol Cromm Cruach and its dozen smaller statues. With a simple staff, he challenges the stone gods in front of the court, and in an instant the massive idols sink into the earth, shattering the druids’ power and converting the skeptical king in a flash of wonder. The sudden triumph sparks an unexpected outcry—“O, Wurra‑Wurra!”—from the gathered crowd, a mournful chant that echoes ancient loss and hints at a deeper, unsettled magic.

Among Patrick’s retinue is Keth Mac Maragh, a sturdy warrior‑storyteller who carries the old tales of the Book of the Dun Cow in his mind, and Finola of the White Shoulder, one of the missionary’s devoted embroideresses. Their curiosity is roused by the haunting cry, drawing them into a mysterious conflict with the court wizard Lochru and his druidic allies, whose hidden spells threaten to unravel the new faith even as the kingdom teeters between old superstition and fresh promise.
