Ruadán (pronounced ROO-ah-dawn) Books derives its name from the Irish god of Mystery and Espionage. He is the son of Bres & Brigit. He met his fate when he was sent to spy for the Formorians by his father. He infiltrated Goibhniu’s weapons foundry and found him engaged in the craft of spear‑making. Grabbing one of the magical weapons, he stuck it into the Great Armorer. But the spy was unaware of the weapon’s proper use, and Goibhniu calmly pulled the spear out and slayed the wayward spy. When Brigit discovered that her son had been slain, her wailing was such that it started the tradition of keening, used ever since at Irish wakes.
