Illustration
Aillen, a sídh warrior, is said to have destroyed Tara, the spiritual center of Ireland and the seat of the High Kings, each and every Samhain for nine years. He is slain by Fionn mac Cumhaill, who pierces him with an enchanted spear mere moments before Aillen can escape through the sídh mound back to the safety of the Otherworld.
