Igraine

Summary

Igraine is a life, fertility, nature, bird, and reincarnation-associated power. Day 57 tied her to Brass City visions, Morgana’s birds, a tabaxi prayer bowl, and a future-looking image of Morgana over small-dragon bones.

Do not confuse the goddess Igraine with Lady Yadreya Egrine. Mother Egraine Brook is a mortal priestess of Igraine and the Dunnensend Mother; she is not the goddess herself.

  • Dunnensend records connect Igraine’s priestess, Mother Egraine Brook, with life, pleasure, fertility, harvest, and healing powers.
  • Day 42 says Igraine gave the protectors gifts to heal their people, in the same Ashkelon lore that describes Garadule looking after the Dunnen People.
  • The Mothers’ healing powers should be linked to Flesh-Crafting Wands, including the wand totem from a sister in Dunnensend and the flesh-crafting wand found in Grand Towers.
  • Day 27 Dunnensend context establishes that The Mother, Betrayer was a Dunnen Mother who betrayed her people, turning the Mother/healing tradition toward Carnamancy.

Day 57 Details

  • A bowl behind the rawhide door was a tabaxi prayer to Igraine.
  • A spirit of Igraine may have been the foreigner trapped by the merfolk about twenty years ago, though Globule did not see whether a bird came out.
  • Hydran’s rooms showed Morgana depicted with Igraine holding a knife, surrounded by birds, standing on the bones of a small dragon; the notes say this had not happened yet and was not a picture of murder or the weapon.
  • Igraine’s field was flat and flowered; Morgana used to be there often and could speak with plants.
  • A ladybird said the cat was there and gave Morgana a clue to channel her power, seek more of them, and talk and play with them.
  • Morgana learned animal/bird channeling and named a helpful bird Bruce.
  • The past Brass City tapestry-maker had received visions since Igraine came to see her.

Day 58 Details

  • Valenth Cardonal suggested that restoring Eliana’s original form or body might require a priest of Igraine.

  • What does the future image of Morgana, Igraine, birds, and small-dragon bones actually require?
