-===== Campaign Use =====
+===== Major Locations Around 800 AD =====
-The party has not yet visited Írland in the recorded campaign. Keep it available for Dublin-style Norse towns, monastery raids or defenses, hostage politics, mercenary work, river travel, or encounters with unfamiliar local customs.
+  * **Temair (Tara):** Ceremonial kingship site in Mide, tied to the idea of high kingship and the older sacred landscape.
+  * **Ard Macha (Armagh):** Major northern church, monastic school, and Patrician power center; an obvious source of relics, scribes, and church politics.
+  * **Cluain Mhic Nóis (Clonmacnoise):** Great monastery on the Shannon where a major road crossed the river; useful for learning, craft, trade, pilgrimage, and royal burial ties.
+  * **Cill Dara (Kildare):** Brigid's great church and monastery, important for religion, learning, craft, and feminine spiritual authority.
+  * **Gleann Dá Loch (Glendalough):** Wicklow monastic valley founded by Kevin; remote enough for hermits, relics, and hidden approaches through rough country.
+  * **Caiseal (Cashel):** Royal center of Munster, later famous as the Rock of Cashel; useful for southern kingship and Eóganacht politics.
+  * **Cruachain / Rathcroghan:** Connacht royal and mythic landscape, associated with Medb and deep older stories.
+  * **Bangor:** Important monastic center on the northeast coast, useful for sea-borne contact with Britain and the Hebrides.
+  * **Áth Cliath / Duiblinn (future Dublin):** Around 800, not yet the major Norse town; useful as a ford, pool, and later longphort site after Scandinavian activity intensifies.
+  * **Linn Duachaill:** Future longphort site on the east coast, paired in later records with Dublin; useful as a potential raider camp or abandoned opportunity.

-  * Confidence: high for Írland as the Old Norse name for Ireland.
+The party has not yet visited Írland in the recorded campaign. Keep it available for Dublin-style Norse towns, monastery raids or defenses, hostage politics, mercenary work, river travel, or encounters with unfamiliar local customs.
