  quote: ''
  summary: After music makes the Fomor sleep and allows three people to escape, the
    Dagda's heifer calls back Ireland's cattle. A wounded druid dies on a flowered
    plain, where a lake forms over his grave. The last Fomor in Ireland spoil produce
    until the Morrigu and Angus Og drive them out at Samhain. The Morrigu proclaims
    peace after the victory, the number of dead is said to be beyond counting, and
    Lugh is made king. Lugh commemorates his foster-mother Taillte with a burial mound,
    fires, keening, and annual summer games. His mother Ethlinn is married to Tadg,
    and their descendants include Muirne, Finn's mother, and Tuiren, Bran's mother.
