Plane Lorwyn
Part of Clachans

Dundoolin is the name of a kithkin clachan in Lorwyn and the pastures around it. Its Shadowmoor counterpart is unknown. It is known for its sages, who have recorded the categories and omens of Lorwyn's greater elementals in the illustrated manuscript, The Eightyfold Trail, for generations.[1]

The Cenn's Sword

As recorded in the Book of Kith and Kin, Daranna Gwal was Dundoolin's cenn when the Belltower crumbled. Daranna was an honored leader of the clachan, one of the most popular in memory, and an expert swordkith. But when she fell injured in battle, and delirious boggarts got past her to destroy the beloved Belltower. Although she slew the warren's Auntie, she lost pride in her leadership. From her recovery-bed she named Hyal Lwellen her heir, willed him her precious sword, and died soon after.

Hyal took up Daranna's sword, accepting the role of cenn of Dundoolin, and went on to become its most famous cenn of all. Among his acts during his tenure, he had the Belltower rebuilt, set up trade holidays with the Paperfin merrows, and established the first school devoted to elemental study. But Hyal's most famous act was to disband the Dundoolin Raiders, a militia that was used to invade boggart warrens.

Hyal wore Daranna's famous sword on his hip every day, but his greatest wisdom was that he never wielded it.
