Gaddock Teeg was a cenn of the largest Lorwyn kithkin clachan, Kinsbaile.

Description

Gaddock Teeg was an eloquent speaker and politician, believing that almost any disagreement could be resolved by proper talking, offers, denials, and compromises. His right hand was Kinsbaile's heroine, archer Brigid Baeli.

History

During the Festival of Tales, Teeg found himself in the middle of much trouble. He hosted the yew treefolk sage Colfenor, whose presence drew a growing array of other people to Kinsbaile, the company of whom Teeg was clearly not adequately prepared to handle. Through Teeg, Colfenor hired the flamekin messenger Ashling to reunite him with Rhys, a Gilt-Leaf elf outlawed from his tribe after his magic backfired during a last-ditch effort to save his fellow hunters during a lost battle. Rhys, a former pupil of Colfenor, was being pursued by his recent commander, taercenn Nath, who soon arrived at Kinsbaile, but not before Rhys left the clachan to perform a task given by Colfenor. Nath planned to abuse the fact that Rhys was hiding in Kinsbaile to subdue Kinsbaile's population and build a permanent elvish outpost there. Teeg, to win Nath's favor and spare Kinsbaile, ordered Brigid, who accompanied Rhys, to bring him back subdued, dead or alive. However, Colfenor caught the messenger moths and modified the message that Brigid targeted Ashling instead.

When Rhys returned, he was forced to fight with his former tribesmen. In the end, he emerged victorious, killing Nath and threatening the rest of the elves out of the clachan. Teeg perished in the conflagration caused by Colfenor when the treefolk used Ashling's patron elemental to end his own life, though the details of the cenn's death are unknown.

After the Aurora, the position of the cenn of Kinsbaile, now called Kinscaer, was occupied by Donal Alloway.
