In Irish mythology, Tethra of the Fomorians ruled Mag Mell after dying in the Second Battle of Mag Tuiredh.[1] After the battle, his sword, Orna, was taken by Ogma and it then recounted everything it had done.[2]
A woeful seat where Connla sits! Among short-lived mortals, Awaiting only dreadful death. The living, the immortal call to you; They summon you to the people of Tethra
Now in that battle, Ogma the champion found Orna, the sword of Tethra, king of the Fomoire. Ogma unsheathed the sword and cleaned it. Then the sword told what had been done by it, because it was the habit of swords at the time to recount the deeds that had been done by them whenever they were unsheathed.
