Garrán an Maoir

**Garrán an Maoir** is the sacred encampment of the ard-Maoir, the high wise person of The Coilledaoine, and serves as the intellectual and cultural heart of Tír an ard-Maoir in the Ríocht of Koterii. Strategically located at the mouth of the Mother's River, this storied site marks the confluence where the river’s gentle flow meets the vast expanse of The Western Sea, symbolizing the continual passage of wisdom and tradition throughout the land.
Over the centuries, Garrán an Maoir has evolved into a dynamic center of learning and communal governance. Its placement within the southwestern woodlands and along the rugged western coastline underscores a deep bond with nature, where the sound of the waters and the whispering of ancient trees provide a natural amphitheater for reflection and discourse. The encampment’s construction integrates locally quarried stone with organic architectural elements, creating spaces that inspire both meditative solitude and vibrant communal interaction.
At Garrán an Maoir, the ard-Maoir and their retinue engage in preserving ancestral lore, managing disputes, and guiding the cultural evolution of the Coilledaoine. The site is also a focal point for ritual ceremonies, where the flow of the Mother's River is celebrated as a vital symbol of renewal and the interconnection between the natural world and the tribe’s enduring legacy. This melding of tradition, scholarship, and environmental stewardship continues to define Garrán an Maoir as a cornerstone of Coilledaoine heritage in Koterii.
