Agallamh



An Agallamh is a sacred Fae ceremony invoked on La Shoshain that forces warring parties to sit down and engage in peace talks.

If the Agallamh fails at reaching an accord, the person who invoked it forfeits his or her life.

The invoker must choose a Claymore from the community present. The Claymore is a volunteer who agrees to kill the invoker if the Agallamh fails.

The risk taken by the invoker may explain why this rite of resolution is rarely employed.
