Lén

Occupation: Homesteader/Farmer/Protector
Court: Seelie (Native)
Lén is the elder of the two brothers. His wife sadly died during the birth of their first child and the child died as well, leaving Lén heartbroken. He never remarried, instead choosing to focus himself on running the homestead and helping his brother raise his twins.

Seonaidh

Occupation: Homesteader/Farmer/Father
Court: Seelie (Native)
Seonaidh is the younger of the two brothers. A dreamer and worrier, he is often seen as the gentler of the two brothers. He helps with running the homestead and farming when he's not too busy keeping his twins out of trouble...

Nichol

Occupation: Child
Court: Seelie (Native)
Nichol is the older of Seonaidh's twins. Bold and brave, he might have drown had Diarmuid not saved him after the bespelled water he came into contact with put him to sleep. He seems to have an interest in healing and music. May become a bard someday.

Nessa

Occupation: Child
Court: Seelie (Native)
Nessa is the younger of Seonaidh's twins. Though she is a little more shy than her outgoing brother, she is still very brave and curious. She has a strong interest in taking over the land her father and uncle own once they can no longer work it.

'Old' Maggie

Occupation: Unknown
Court: Seelie (Shardbearer)
'Old' Maggie is a almost a complete mystery. She was able to keep a group of shardbearers from troubling the natives with them on the way to the Hidden Falls several times often just by giving them a look. Though she claims just to be a shardbearer who has seen far too much fighting in the time she has been in the Drabwuld, it seems like she is actually much more than she claims to be.

Aideen, Ana, & Sadhbh

Occupation: Groupies
Court: Seelie (Fairies)
Aideen, Ana, and Sadhbh are three mischievous fairies that took a liking to Diarmuid almost immediately after he arrived because of his beauty. They seem to have made it their goal to share as much of his beauty with the rest of the world as possible by any means necessary. This includes picking the most revealing costumes they can for him to wear at balls and using his locket to record him while he is sleeping or in other various stages of undress. Even the fact that Oscar, Diarmuid's bandersnatch cub likes to try and 'eat' fairies doesn't slow them down...much anyway.

First Meeting: Escape to the Hidden Falls.

Timeskip Information:

After the battle, Lén, Seonaidh, and his family return to their homestead, only to find it has been destroyed by fighting and the ground rendered unusable by the Jabberwock's aura of rot. Not knowing what else to do, they seek out Diarmuid for help. Diarmuid speaks with Cu Chulainn who is looking for farmers to work the land around Dun Dealgan and is able to get them a plot of land to work. They make their way to Dun Dealgan with what little possessions they have left and soon are hard at work setting up the land so they can farm when the weather turns warm. Surprisingly enough, 'Old' Maggie is with them and settles into the farm to help watch the children.

The plot of land they are given is smaller than their old homestead and something that Seonaidh can run mostly himself, especially with his wife and 'Old' Maggie around to help with the children. As a result, Lén comes to Diarmuid and requests to be made his assistant to help thank him for all he has done for the family. At first Diarmuid is resistant to this idea because he doesn't feel he needs thanks for doing the right thing, but in the end he relents. While he might not want to admit it, being without his arm is making a lot of things harder...

Lén helps Diarmuid a great deal with building and running his training grounds. He also helps Diarmuid out when he goes to Daonna to find out what he can about the hangings there. Not only does Lén find important information, but he also gets a little roughed up in the process giving Diarmuid a chance to turn the tables a bit on his assistant.

Post Time Skip:

• Illness strikes Seonaidh's wife and she sadly dies.
• After the death of his wife, Seonaidh, Lén, and the family become increasingly uncomfortable at the farm near Cu Chulainn's castle. When the fact that Lagertha is encouraging farmers to come and settle the land around her watchtower makes its way to Lén, the family decides to move there.
• While Lén, Seonaidh, and 'Old' Maggie see to the moving, Diarmuid takes Nichol and Nessa to Leathann to help him put up a shrine to Kaio as part of a task he has taken from Flora. (Note: There is a slight time shift in effect. Timey-wimey and all that...)

Post Game Setting Shift:

• Everyone will follow Diarmuid back into the past. They will remain at Lagertha's Tower in Garnet Territory for the most part, along with Diarmuid's animals.
• Lén will follow the training grounds to Leathann and split his time between being there, helping at the Tower, and helping with Red Hand things.
