History Of Clan Ceann (or Clan
of Kin).
Clan Motto - "The enemy is shorter whith his head cut
off."
Clan Ceann (pro Kane) is formed of the remains of our families,
hence the
different tartans.
Our kinsmen and women were once of great Caledonian families, who
wereslowly slain and driven from their lands by their enemy, the
Fomor.
Twenty years ago thirteen of our fathers embarked on an
expedition intoFomor territory to slay their chieftains and
reclaim the sacred artifact,the "Shadath-Drad" or the
Spear of the Sun. The spear had been stolen sixgenerations
ago and used to slay many brave Celts.
The thirteen were successful but only one father returned to die
in the ramsof his loved ones. He revealed that the warriors
battled hundreds of theFomor and slew many. The broke into
a Fomor temple and reclaimed the spear.However as they were
pursued home they decided to hide the spear lest itfall again
into their enemies hands. Unfortunately the last of the
thirteendied before he could reveal the whereabouts of the
"Shadath-Drad".
The Fomor swore to avenge the deaths of their people and take
back thespear. They began a murderous campaign to wipe out
the families anddescendants of the thirteen.
The Clan of Kin is now all that remain and we have united to
defendourselves against the Fomor threat and search for the
Spear.
We have come to rest in the wild lands between the Rivers Dee and
Spea,united under one leadership, while retaining out individual
family tartans.
The clan has known only one chieftain to date, Finn Mogg, son of
the last ofthe thirteen who enters his fourth tear of reign.
Each chieftain rules for seven years, mainly as a figure head,
before theyare sacrificed to the Great Mother and another kinsman
or woman is elected to the position.
Clan Ceann engage in a martial game, called Jugger which they
will bebringing to The Gathering this year with a view to
challenging other teamsfrom the Bears and other factions.
The game involves six players per team who battle against a set
time to place the skull of a slain enemy in their opponents
square. The six players are The Stick, The Block, The
Sting, Two
Hocks and The Quick.
There will be two marriages this Gathering which we would like
the Queens to bless. The coupling of Ged Lenar and Morgiu
Lannigan and Finn Mogg and Perthesilia, a lady of the
Unicorns. All Bears and any friends of the Clan are invited
to the festivities.
