Item description
Cormac tells the women that it is geis for him to admit anyone after sunset to the feast of Tara.
However, having declared to violate the geis of Tara, they enter and perform evil: for the next seven years, everyone who is unfortunate to meet one of them would be mutilated: In-Moel would cut off their toes, fingers, eye-brows, upper lashes and ears, while In-Écen would strip off their skin, killing them.
