Tír Arnbjorn

Tír Arnbjorn is the largest of the eight waygar'i-inhabited islands of the Southern Archipelago (named Tíortha Briste by those inhabitants). Unsurprisingly, it is also the most populated, with five clans in total, though the respective territories of those clans, their size, and their leaders are currently unknown and, given the nature of the fír suthr, likely quite fluid.

As per fír suthr custom, which clan rules the island is not a simple matter of son inheriting the title from his father. The clan leaders gather at the death of the rídh to decide, by way of popular vote, who shall be the replacement. As this is the case, Tír Arnbjorn does not truly have a ruling class, as it is understood on the continent.

The island is also home to the burial grounds for all the fír suthr, a necropolis of corbelled passage tombs located in a valley on the western side of the island.

Indeed, all major events affecting all the islands take place on Tír Arnbjorn, including the four major festivals celebrating the seasons, and the festival of the dead. Should an ard rídh die, the clans of the fír suthr will all gather on Tír Arnbjorn to mourn and elect a new one.

The sanctuary, the spiritual centre of the fír suthr, the training centre for the anu and home of the Council of Elders, is also somewhere on Tír Arnbjorn, though no one appears to know precisely where. The secrecy of the anu is famous, and it seems that the location of the spiritual heart of the Southern Archipelago is one of the secrets they guard most fiercely.
