Cu Chulainn

An immersive, speculative project set in the Ruins of Errwood Hall, based on the life of the Irish mythological hero Cu Chulainn.

Cu Chulainn is a well known figure in Irish mythology, one of his most famous stories is when he fought the hound of Cullen, earning his name Cu Chulainn. Another famous story is about his death; he suffered fatal injuries but to fool his enemy he tied himself to a boulder and held his sword even in death. The enemy was so afraid of him that they didn't dare approach to see if he was dead, until a raven landed on his shoulder (the raven being a symbol of the Morrigan, goddess of death).
