E W Y N M A C E A C H T H I G H E A R N A
Farewell, I've gone to take my throne above
But don't weep for me
'Cause this will be
The labor of my love
Here we are, don't turn away now
We are the warriors that built this town
Here we are, don't turn away now,
We are the warriors that built this town
From dust.
Imagine Dragons - Warrior

Lord MacEachthighearna is just as terrifying as they say; his red horse caught
sight of one of the scouts. We don't know what they did to him, but we could
not recover his body. The bulk of the force is mounted, camped over the hill,
and the horses are fresh. It's the strangest thing; they seem to get excited
whenever they smell blood. I don't know if the rumors about selling his soul to
the devil are true, but I can tell you this; something about those horses isn't right.

- BRITISH FIELD REPORT, 1299

Ewyn,

I miss you. Maybe 'tis unfair to burden you with that, but it is true nonetheless.
Gwydir asks after you every day; I fear he has inherited your temper, and I dread
the day he learns to carry a sword. We await your return, and I hope to see you
soon.

Forever yours,
Your love

- AN UNSIGNED LETTER, c. 1302

Ewyn MacEachthighearna was a memorable military commander during the Scottish War
of Independence. His unorthodox strategies, knowledge of the land, and superior cavalry
gave him an edge against the British, and he managed several victories before disappearing
suddenly. His disappearance marked a massive loss for the Scottish Army, and without their
commander, the MacEachthighearna forces surrendered in 1302. The end of the war marked
the end of House MacEachthighearna, and their lands were granted to the Campbell Family.

- EXCEPT FROM A HISTORY TEXTBOOK

The noble son of Eideard MacEachthighearna, Lord Ewyn MacEachthighearna was the last Lord of Talmoore Castle. He was raised by his grandfather -- Lord Bhàtair -- after his parents died in a tragic accident when he was a young boy. His grandfather groomed him to be a commander, and he started his military career at eighteen. After he led grandfather's forces to victory against Clan MacAlasdair, Lord Bhàtair was able to consolidate power, expanding the MacEachthighearna's lands and bolstering their military forces. Ewyn was allowed to travel to Europe, tourneying and gaining renown as a formidable foe with both sword and lance. He was finally called back to Scotland in 1296, as the War of Scottish Independence broke out. Ewyn managed several victories against the British before he was captured. Escaping, he was lost for six months in the wilderness before he returned.

  His disappearance allowed considerable losses, and though he returned, he eventually disappeared towards the end of the war. It is suggested he was paid by the British to retire from the field, though there is no evidence to base these claims upon. It is known; however, that after his departure he was seen several years later in a small village with two young boys who were suggested to be his children. Their names are not known, and the identity of their mother remains a mystery.   Some legends claim Ewyn earned the favor of an old goddess of fate, and other's claim she was simply a powerful witch. Whoever she was, Ewyn never claimed the children as legitimate heirs, and Talmoore Castle and the MacEachthighearna lands were claimed by others after his disappearance.

This story and it's characters are fictitious. Certain long-standing institutions, agencies, and public offices are mentioned, but the characters involved are wholly imaginary.
