• The Wooing of Emer Aug 13, 2025

  

  In the days when heroes walked the green hills of Ireland, there lived a young warrior whose fame had spread to every corner of the land. Cú Chulainn, the Hound of Ulster, was already renowned for his incredible strength and courage, but his heart remained untouched by love.

But Emer was no ordinary maiden—she possessed the six gifts that made a woman perfect: beauty, voice, sweet speech, wisdom, needlework, and chastity.
