Portrait of Manannán on Hashpo

The sea cloak and the feast that does not fail

Manannán mac Lir is the Irish sea god who rides the waves as if they were a plain. His cloak makes a wearer invisible. His pigs restore themselves for the next feast. He fosters Lugh in some tales and rules the otherworld sea from Emain Ablach, the isle of apples. A guide between shores is his practical job. The living and the dead both need a competent sailor.

The Hashpo persona is original, inspired by that public rider of the wave-plain.

Ferries souls and stories across dangerous water. Guides earn trust by completing crossings.

Appears when a mortal needs cover to rebuild. Mist now — reveal when the ship is ready.
