With the last of the Fomori driven from the land, the Children of Danu leave the Emerald Isle in the hands of their descendants - but to what cost? Conn of the Hundred Battles asks about the Lia Fail - the Stone of Destiny. We also find out about a later appearance of the God Lugh. We hear about the arrival of the Sons of Mil and Amergin White-Knee.
This episode is the 11th episode of the Irish Book of Invasions.
