	The Story of the Irish Race, Page4
		The greatest, most exciting portion of this hero’s stories is the account of his fight with his friend, Ferdiad, at the ford, where, single handed, he is holding at bay the forces of Connaught.
		Ferdiad is the great Connaught champion, chief, of the Connaught knights of the Sword, the Fir Domniann and a dear friend and comrade of CUCHULLAIN, since, in their youth, they were training for the profession of arms.
		He would dissuade Ferdiad from fighting, by reminding him of their comradeship, when they were together learning the art of war from the female champion, Scathach, in Alba.

	The Path of the Paragon Prestige Class: The Gae Bolga
		As slowly, one by one, the original group began to die off from old age and attrition, it was decided that the knowledge they had gained from their god was too precious to be lost.
		The elf Ferdiad mac Gwyr travelled on their behalf to the Isle of Varadock, where he petitioned Scathach to aid them in training new members of the Spears, for it was she who initially revealed the secrets of combat to the Hound.
		Ferdiad, however, merely sat down and waited, asking the question again each time he saw her.

	The Combat of Ferdiad and Cuchulain
		Ferdiad denied them their will, and sent back the messengers, and he went not with them, for he knew wherefore they would have him, to fight and combat with his friend, with his comrade and foster-brother, Cuchulain.
		Ferdiad came with them for the sake of his own honour, forasmuch as he deemed it better to fall by the shafts of valour and bravery and skill, than to fall by the shafts of satire, abuse and reproach.
		Ferdiad's horses were now brought forth and his chariot was hitched, and he set out from the camp for the ford of battle when yet day with its full light had not come there for him.

	Ferdiad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.umd.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In Irish mythology, Ferdiad (also Fer Diad, Ferdia) was the son of Daire (or son of Damáin son of Daire) and the champion of the men of Domnand (Fir Domnann) from Irrus Domnann in Connacht.
		Though Ferdiad initially refused to fight his foster-brother, Medb threatened him with vicious satires and offered him her daughter Findabair if he was successful.
		Scholars believe that the fight between Cuchulainn and Ferdiad is a late addition to the Táin, originating not earlier than the eleventh century and drawing on earlier episodes in the story.

		Fierce is the man in his excited (?) rage because of his blood-red sword: a horny skin is about Ferdiad of the troops, against it prevails not battle or combat.
		Fierce is the man, a war for twenties, it is not easy to vanquish him, the strength of a hundred in his body, valiant his deed (?), spears pierce him not, swords cut him not.
		Better would it be to me than reward, O Cuchulain of the blood-stained sword, that it was thou who carried eastward the spoils (coscur, not corcur) of the proud Ferdiad.

	CUCHULAINN - THE HOUND OF ULSTER: Cuchullain
		Cuchulainns greatest deed was perhaps when he alone held back the forces of Connaught and had to fight his friend, Ferdiad, who was the champion and chief of the Connaught Knights of the Sword.
		Ferdiad and Cuchullain had trained together in arms in their youth and it was displeasing to Cuchullain to have to fight his friend of old.
		He tried to dissuade Ferdiad against fighting by reminding him of their days in training, when they were both subjects of the great female champion, Scathach, in Alba.

	Cuchulain of Muirthemne: XI. The War for the Bull of Cuailgne
		Ferdiad slept through the early part of the night very heavily, and when the latter end of the night came, his sleep went from him, and his drunkenness had passed away, and the thought of the fight was pressing on him.
		And it was not long until Ferdiad's driver heard the noise coming near, the straining of the harness, the creaking of the chariot, the ringing of the armour and of the shield, the trampling of the horses, the joyful coming of Cuchulain to the ford.
		Ferdiad gave a stroke of his shield up to protect the upper part of his body, though it was "the relief after danger," as the saying is. "That is enough," said Ferdiad; "I die by that.

	irish cuchulainn - the hund of ulster
		Ferdiad is the great Connaught champion, chief, of the Connaught knights of the Sword, the Fir Domniann and a friend and comrade in arms of CuChulainn, since, in their youth, they, along with Conal Cearnach, "Conal of the Victories" had leaned well indeed, the craft of war.
		He tried to dissuade Ferdiad from fighting, by reminding him of their comradeship, when they were together learning the art of war from the female champion, Scathach, in Alba.
		But Ferdiad too, was a great champion and warrior, and even though he had fought many times along side CuChulainn, Ferdiad would not and could not let fond memories turn him from his purpose.

	Story 3: Táin Bó Cúalnge -- The Raid
		More battles occurred after this, and more men died, until the war came to a head: Ferdiad, foster-brother of Cuchulain, was sent for single combat.
		They fight for three days without resolution, until Cuchulain finally is brought to rage and destroys Ferdiad with his javelin.
		Cuchulain gets a grip on himself immediately after this act and catches Ferdiad's body, carrying him to the riverbank and lamenting all the way.

	A Coming Out Ritual
		Anyway, self-justifications aside, one of the myths that most moved me on first reading it was that of Ferdiad and Cuchulainn.
		Rashly, Ferdiad swears to take on the Hound of Ulster ~ an oath he cannot renege on, even when he awakes hung-over in the morning.
		D When you requested this meeting of the Tribe I meditated with Ferdiad, and this is the gift he guided me to present to you (gives a gift of some sort.) In the old times a liege, a flaith, sealed his acceptance of an oath with a gift to the oath-maker.

		And the Gaileoin fought well in the same war; but the men of Ireland had no great liking for them, and their Druids drove them out of the country afterwards.
