Pralix's War is a book on the early history of the Stonehenge Tribunal. Nominally it was written by Glyns verch Marc of Cad Gadu, but in reality the Quaesitor Iudicium and his assistant Torkel did much of the research and contributed greatly to its content.

Contents

The actual narrative is arranged chronologically, but for players' convenience the key points are listed here by topic.

On Damhan-Alliadh

Damhan-Allaidh was originally from Brittany, not the British Isles as is commonly supposed. His magic involved writing Ogham runes either on his own face and arms, or on the target. Usually these runes were drawn in ash or woad but unsubstantiated accounts say Damhan-Allaid used human blood for the runes of his most powerful spells.
