“Come and hear tell of the Queen of blood and death, the unbroken woman under whose very tread the earth quaked and with her very gaze did she cut down her foes.`I speak, of course, of Aelga the Ruinous: the druid who commanded armies, fear, and even stone to collapse if it stood where she did not want. The fiercest scourge of the Christians who were, and Daughter of Ireland, her anger was as music to Agrona, as the screams of her foes were to her. When at last she was cut down, through treachery and deception, the very earth quaked under her feet as she and Agrona tried to rend it asunder - one last act against the world that had betrayed her. Even Agrona herself, embodied in human form, was said to be less fierce and terrifying than Aelga the Ruinous.”
