Geasa Tríanach [Noble Phantasm]
Bond of the Golden Thumb Ring
The Noble Phantasm of Connla. A representation of his only adventure in Irish myth, embodying the mystery of his name and identity.
In “Aided Óenfhir Aífe,” he is bound by three geasa, and because of these, his name is concealed from the Ulstermen, forcing them into confrontation. It is only as he lay dying that the deception is revealed and the truth is laid bare, and Connla is identified as the only son of Aífe and Cúchulainn.
Representing that myth, this Noble Phantasm conceals the details of Connla’s identity. All identifying factors are shrouded in mystery, from his true name to his skills and even, on the rare occasion he is summoned as anything other than an Assassin, his Servant Class. Naturally, the more an enemy knows about him, the more the protections of this Noble Phantasm are stripped away, showing Connla for who he is.
However, the penalty for this deception is a weakness to strong attacks. Although his own strength is unfettered at all points, he takes extra damage from enemies for every deception that remains in place. If he is completely concealed, any successful attacks will deal triple damage.
