The four Treasures and other artefacts.

[Standing-Stone]

Who made the four treasures in the Slaine's mythology?

I know from reading about the original mythology on the Wikipedia that they came from the four kingdoms, same as it was told in similer fashion in the Horned God saga.

Though there are always differances in the reinterpretations. As it says....

The Spear of the Sun or the Blood Dripping spear, ( As it was otherwise known. ) was always stored in the 'Cauldron of Plenty' and that it was actualley forged by the Smith of Falias to slay Balor. Not, that I was terribly sure if Slaine did use this weapon to slay Balor in the Book of Invasions. Not that I'm terribly worried about that Slaine differs from the official mythology.

My reason for asking. Just out of curiosity, I didn't think that those items were made by the any of the four tribes, themselves. They just the type of people who would be capable of doing that at that time or that they might be making more if they could.

I think the four tribes might have received theses as gifts from the Gods or something like that.

I'm not sure.

What would the experts here say?

 

[The Greek]

The background of the spear is covered in the book (In The Finians section). Further details and the others (as well as other Celtic magic items that are in other legends - eg: the thirteen treasures of Britain) will wait until I can get a supplement done on this (this being a personal project like the Baileoisin Chronicles rather than a full blown 'goose one - ie: all the work done would be in my own time). Would probably be the fifth or sixth thing to do on any list I would make up, so you would be looking at the info not appearing officially until the far future.

I probably should have read that as I now have all those books.

Although, I do remember reading something about the the four tresures in thsoes books, though don't reacll the oriagin of the spear.

Will look it up, though.

As for the 13 Treasures of Britain.

There was link to those on the wiki also.

Some of were just like what featured in the Slaine story of similer name.

Like the chest set that playes by itself or the magical Helm.
