The 4 Treasures

The Four Treasures of Emain Ablach are a set of remarkably powerful Talsim created by and sacred to the Sidhe. Following the Flight of Nemed and the conquest of the Fortunate Isles, the Sidhe began to fracture into competing factions. To reforge the shattered peace, the Four Fili each crafted a masterwork to be housed at their city, but collectively benefit the Sidhe.

The Four Treasures

Claíomh Solais

The Sword of Light

Forged by Uiscias

The Treasure of Findias

A brightly glowing sword of pure light, traditionally wielded by Nuada Airgetlám. Once drawn, it could not be defeated.

Coire Ansic

The Cauldron of Plenty

Crafted by Semias

The Treasure of Murias

An ever-filling cauldron. No one would ever go away hungry from its host's dwelling. It is commonly associated with the Dagda, the god of Hospitality.

Gae Assail

The Spear of Yew

Created by Ersas

The Treasure of Gorias

The Gae Assail is created from a single shafted of polished yew wood, covered in a delicate vinelike pattern of raised wood. It is said to be made from the spine of Ivinenn, the Mother of Yews and goddess of Death. When thrown, it transformed into lightning, and fire and lighting shoot from it was it flies, cutting through enemy ranks with abandon. It would seek out a target with a cry of "Ibar" (Yew), and return to the hand with a call of "Athibar" (Re-Yew). The spear has a mind of its own and will attempt to quench its bloodlust with or without its master. It must be stored in a drought of freshly crushed poppy seeds and blood in a special cauldron, lest it ignite.

Lia Fáil

The Wailing Stone

Crafted by Morfessa

The Treasure of Falias.

Cut from the stone of Rupes Nigra, it is the only Treasure that predates the Flight of Nemed. It would emit a high pitched cry when beneath the true sovereign Ard Ri of the Sidhe.
