Fáelán O’Byrne (1421)

Fáelán O’Byrne
Page to Conall Keough

You are in training under Conall Keough to become the next champion of Clan O’Casey. Mainly you are the errand boy of everyone. Fáelán go do this, Fáelán go do that. You are getting quite sick of it.

This weekend there is to be a joust and dance. You are to act as the manservant of Conall and Rónán O’Casey, the Clan Leader. You weren’t born to serve; you were born to fight. Conall is entering the joust, and you are going to serve as his second. He has hinted that you could gain that station on a permanent basis if you live up to your potential this weekend.

As it stands, the clan has been experiencing a terrible famine that has swept across the countryside. Needless to say, you are sick of being hungry. You have heard rumors that the English have plenty of food in Dublin. The English might be willing to let you practice your warrior skills, and eat well, if you could bring them some choice information from the various clans.

The other thing that has been bothering you is Rónán’s twin sisters, Dearbháil and Gráinne. Besides teasing you with their good looks, you have seen them sneaking off when they thought no one was looking. One day you followed them. To your utter disbelief, they started talking about casting a spell. You didn’t hear anything else, because you heard a noise and ran off, but it would be useful to find out if they are really witches.

You know that the O’Casey twins are in league with the devil, but they are just so good looking. Perhaps they would finally give in to your overtures if you threatened to turn them in to the local priests, or even their brother.

Cináed spends all his time hanging around with Fergus O’Sullivan. You don’t know what it is with them because you don’t have time to follow him, but it seems that they have meetings at night every week or so. They likely go to the taverns in east Meath and buy wenches to be with. They are so blindingly drunk that they cannot stand being in the light of day.

The only way that you are going to improve your lot in life is to improve your station. That just isn’t going to happen if you wait for it, so this weekend, you have to find every way possible to gain that power and influence you crave.

Gráinne O’Casey (1421)

Gráinne O’Casey
O’Casey Sister

You and your sister Dearbháil, were born under a full moon 20 years ago. Since then you have been inseparable. You learned to do most of the common things that women do together working with Generis O’Reilly. Together, with her, you were initiated into a witches coven run by Aine O’Toole when you were 13. You were sent there once a week to participate in your “sewing circle” which exists, intact, until this very day. Under this cover, you have all avoided persecution by the local authorities, who are becoming more and more intolerant of “heretical” beliefs.

Since you both were 14, you knew that you would be something special with the men. The fact that you were identical gave you two a couple of remarkable abilities. First, men fantasize about having both of you at once, and you have always played this to your advantage while protecting your purity. Second, you two switch places without so much as a double take from even your father. So instead of swapping guy stories, you swap guys. That doubles your fun, because you really can’t read each other’s minds.

Your favorite target is the page to Connall Keough (the Champion), Fáelán O’Byrne. You two switch off tormenting him, and sometimes lead him on to think that you are going to give him a 3-way if he’s lucky. The reality is, you lust after Cináed Lynch. He is a cousin of the O’Casey’s, and you two take turns making out with him, sometimes together. He is soooo luscious. You sometimes wake up hours after kissing him with a simple feeling of euphoria and lightheadedness.

As for your local coven, Áine had become increasingly irritated with the persecutions that the priests were engaging in against witches. To her it seemed a bit hypocritical. The worst thing was that the population was behind it. So she suggested that you all get together and throw a Famine spell. It worked like a charm and now the Irish don’t have time to hunt down witches or pagans.

Just after your famine hit, your coven suffered a major loss inside Dublin. A number of your sisters were stricken down by the plague, and now it is out of control, affecting the entire populace. Generis came up with a spell, but it involves using all of the blood of one vampire. You’ve never seen them, but they exist. After some quick study, you and Dearbháil were able to fashion a way to cause a vampire to freeze for 10 minutes. You know that the dead stiffen up, but figured that vampires had never gone through this process. So your spell is called “Touch of the grave”. It takes the entire coven to cast it.

Generis has to be the one to cast the spell, since she is entirely pure. However, she has been promised to the winner of a joust at the social event taking place on the Preston Estate this weekend. Maybe you and Dearbháil can use your superior looks to distract enough of the contestants and fix the outcome of the tournament.

Whenever you two disagree, she insists on reminding you that she was the FIRST born. It is getting a bit old.

Remember, you were the FIRST born of the two, and remind Gráinne about it when you happen to disagree with her.
