Coastline, Glandore

Glandore's rugged coastline is home to a haunting legend. Cliodhna, the Banshee Queen, is said to have fallen in love with Keevan of the Curling Locks, a mortal, during a feast at Tir Tairngire. They escaped together in a ship, landing in Glandore. While Keevan went hunting inland, Cliodhna slept on the beach, but her rest was short-lived. Depending on the storyteller, she either drowned while sleeping or was tracked down by fairies and returned to Tir Tairngire. To this day, locals claim to hear Cliodhna's mournful cry, a deep and hollow roar, emerging from the caves along Glandore's cliffs when the weather is stormy.
