Tír an ard-Maoir
Tír an ard-Maoir is the expansive territory governed by the ard-Maoir, encompassing the rugged western coastline and a vast portion of the southwestern woodlands of Koterii. This region is distinguished by its rich natural diversity, where dense, ancient forests meet dramatic seascapes, and age-old streams carve their way through the landscape. The area is not only ecologically significant but also holds deep cultural and historical resonance for The Coilledaoine, serving as a living repository of ancestral lore and communal wisdom.
At the heart of Tír an ard-Maoir lies the ard-Maoir's encampment, Garrán an Maoir. This strategically significant site is located at the mouth of the Mother's River—a waterway steeped in legend and symbolic power. The Mother's River is revered as a conduit of ancient knowledge, its steady flow linking the secret depths of the interior woodlands with the boundless energy of The Western Sea. The encampment itself is built upon naturally elevated ground, providing a panoramic view of the river’s course as it merges with the ocean, and offering an ideal setting for contemplation, scholarly pursuit, and the practice of sacred rites.
Within this region, the natural environment and the traditions of the Coilledaoine are inextricably linked. The lush woodlands teem with biodiversity and serve as the backdrop for oral histories and time-honored ceremonies, while the coastline, with its windswept cliffs and secluded coves, speaks to the untamed spirit of the land. The guardianship of Tír an ard-Maoir by the ard-Maoir ensures that the collective memory, wisdom, and environmental stewardship of the people are preserved for future generations.
