A true warrior feels the fierceness of the forge fire… Embark on a trial of strength, as you set out to prove your might and earn your ranking as a true Na Fianna warrior.
Na Fianna were a legendary band of fierce Irish warriors. They roamed around the country embarking on many adventures throughout the Iron Ages and early Middle Ages. Signing up for your local Fiann was a Rite of Passage for Irish teens, and only the strongest and smartest of youth’s were accepted.
Fionn MacCumhaill is one of the most renowned leaders of Na Fianna. He led the mighty group of warriors into battle on the Hill of Tara, to defeat the legendary Oilliphéist, a serpent dragon. Heading the attack, Fionn slayed the Oilliphéist and was thus triumphant in proving his worthiness of leading Na Fianna.

There are no certain dates for our ancient Irish myths and legends. They were written by Christian Monks, many moons after they heard the fireside tales of how our ancestors lived their heroic lives. However, according to our humble Bard, their epic adventures began fado, fado in Éireann, a long long time ago in Ireland. Let us take you on a wild adventure into the mists of their time…
