Fianna are Jaffa in the service of Manannan mac Lir. They are fighters, bards, and roaming judiciary. The Fianna make up the Celtic ideal of what a warrior should be.[1] They are commanded by Manannan's First Prime Cormac mac Art and can be considered Emain Abhlach's army. Loyalty to the Fianna supersedes loyalty to one's local lord.[2]
All Jaffa under Manannan bear a forehead tattoo of a triskelion. The Fianna recolor their tattoos blue by making incisions into the tattooed area and rubbing a plant-based dye into the wounds.[2] Fianna don't normally wear a Jaffa helmet.[3]
Membership into the Fianna is determined by contests of physical and bardic skill. They are also all male.[2] (RPG: "Living Gods: Stargate System Lords")
History[]
When Manannan sent Mordred back to Ireland at the head of an army of Fianna warriors, King Arthur's hold on the clans was broken in a matter of weeks.[2] (RPG: "Living Gods: Stargate System Lords")
