Along the River

Role Play Thread

From the Bog of Allen to the sea, the River Boann (Boinne) winds its way through some of the richest lands in Eire. Passing near Tara (Temhair) and through the Brugh ná Boinne, it is shadowed by the Hills of Slane, Knowth, Newgrange and Dowth. It is calm and peaceful, harboring an abundance of fish and eels.

The Beautiful Boyne Valley
"Brugh ná Bionne"

Brugh na Boinne

How is it named?
For the river that rises in the bog of Allen
And flows to the sea at Inver Colpa.
Called after Boand, Goddess of the rivers.
Peat dark and slow meandering
Making it’s lazy way through the land.

The Dagda had his house here,
And Angus Og after him,
In the wide bend of the river.
Angus of the generous hospitality,
With inexhaustible ale
And meat and fruit
To feed his many guests.

Lugh of the long arm lies here,
And Slaine, king of the Fir-Bolg,
Buried atop his hill.
Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth,
Look down on the valley.
Resting places of the great
Warriors and Chieftains,

It was here, at Linn Feic,
That the hero Fionn McCumhaill
Caught the salmon of knowledge.
Burned his thumb on the hot flesh
And tasted before Finegas the Poet.

Wide green valley, lush with rich grass.
Cattle and sheep shall thrive here.
And fruit trees of all kinds shall flourish.
Fish abound in the stream,
And stags frequent the forest.
You shall not go hungry
In the Valley of the Boinne.
