Emer

Emer [ˈẽβ̃əɾ], in modern Irish Eimhear or Éimhear (Eimer and Éimear are also used as modern versions, though historically incorrect) daughter of Forgall Monach, is the wife of the hero Cú Chulainn in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology.

Legend

Tochmarc Emire "The Wooing of Emer"

The Ulstermen searched all over Ireland for a suitable wife for Cú Chulainn, but he would have none but Emer. He visited her at Forgall's house at Lusk, County Dublin, and wooed her by trading cryptic riddles with her. Emer would accept Cú Chulainn as a husband, but only when his deeds justified it.

However, Forgall was opposed to the match. He came to Ulster in disguise and suggested that Cú Chulainn should train in arms with the renowned warrior-woman Scáthach in Scotland, hoping the ordeal would be too much for him and he would be killed. Cú Chulainn took up the challenge. He learned all the arts of war from Scáthach, and while he was there slept with her rival Aoife, or Aífe, leaving her pregnant.

In the meantime, Forgall offered Emer to Lugaid mac Noís, a king of Munster. However, when he heard that Emer loved Cú Chulainn, Lugaid refused her hand.

Lineage of Ether

According to the Book of Mormon, the Jaredites (/ˈdʒɛrəˌdaɪts/) are a people who lived in ancient America shortly after the confounding of the languages at the Tower of Babel and are written of principally in the Book of Ether (/ˈiː.θər/). The Linage of the Ether is written in The Book of Ether, chapter 1 verses 6-33. Most individuals are only briefly mentioned in the narrative of the Book of Ether. Each is notable in that he is a descendant of Jared (/ˈdʒɛr.əd/), an ancestor to Ether, and most were also Kings of the Jaredites.

Family tree

Notes

^a The Jaredites desired to have a king from Jared and his brother's sons, (Ether 6:22) and would have liked Pagag, the eldest son of the brother of Jared (Ether 6:25) to be king. But he would not and the people were ready to make him regardless of his wishes, but Jared commanded that they not constrain any to be their king. (Ether 6:25) They went through all his brothers’ sons and finally came to the last son of the four of Jared, Orihah (/oʊ.ˈraɪ.hɑː/). He took the throne, making him the first king of the Jaredites. Under him the people prospered and he was purported to be righteous execute justice even after Jared and his brother died, for the rest of his life. (Ether 6:28-30) (Ether 7:1) His had thirty-one children, among which were twenty-three sons. After the death of Orihah his son Kib, born to him in his old age, reigned in his stead. (Ether 7:3) It is through his line that Ether, the last prophet of the Jaredites, was descended, (Ether 1:7-32) thus indicating his royal lineage.

Emer (Shadow World)

In the Shadow World campaign setting, Emer is a continent on Kulthea, where the Grand Campaign takes place. It is the largest contenint on the planet, roughly located within the center of the western hemisphere.

Culturally, Emer is diverse, and is home for elves, dwarves, and a host of human sub-groups. Lugrôki dwell in the Spine of Emer, while garks are prevalent throughout the tropical forests of the eastern Silaarian peninsula. In its past, vast empires have risen to dominate nearly all of Emer, but today it is largely fragmented politically.

Development History

Emer was first described in the Shadow World Master Atlas, First Edition, published in 1989. In 1990, ICE released Emer: The Great Continent, which described the area in more detail.

At one point during Iron Crown's' financial difficulties in the late 1990s, the rights to Shadow World reverted to its author, Terry Amthor. Amthor produced several works under the name "Eidolon Studios" that explored Emer in more detail.
