The oghurithne of the bleak fells of Alba lend their strength to the Albainn freely, for they see that without those humans of the valleys and the forts, without their numbers and their cunning, the keepers of the Oghu stones would not be able to stand against the Lachlannaich and the Fomorraich and the Anglainn, aye, and the rest; Bagseg knows this more than any other, for his life is one of war, an existence of constant strife in the defence of the land and the stones he reveres. If not for Bagseg and the oghurithne warriors he leads, the Albainn would not be nearly so ready to face the threats without.
