The Band's recent successes have led authorities in Draíod to treat Deirbhile as less of a source of danger. When she returned to Crag Oscionn, she was initially followed and watched by Clashing Swords but not stopped or arrested. Subsequently, her help against Breaker heretics in the Draíod capital even made her celebrated. Added to her new bond with the prominent House Ua Órfhaiche, her life now seems more secure.

	Deirbhile ~~seems to believe~~ that Vartach society should be insulated from the danger of her destiny. ~~Her only way forwards is to~~ help others whose destinies are untainted~~, until~~ the ~~terrible day when~~ she ~~causes disaster~~. Towards this end, she has ~~taken~~ [[the Five Oaths]] and joined [[Cumhacht na Réig]]. She ~~has~~ also put herself at the service of the [[Shaper]] and the order of [[cinnire\|cinnirí]], and focused her [[Spellcasting\|magical studies]] on the field of healing.		After being revealed as a Line Breaker, Deirbhile professed that Vartach society should be insulated from the danger of her destiny. She should not lead but instead help others whose destinies are untainted; this might mitigate the future disaster she would cause for Vartach society. Towards this end, she has took [[the Five Oaths]] and joined [[Cumhacht na Réig]]. She also put herself at the service of the [[Shaper]] and the order of [[cinnire\|cinnirí]], and focused her [[Spellcasting\|magical studies]] on the field of healing.

	During the [[Season of Renewal]], Deirbhile made special efforts to understand certain virtues as part of her cinnire initiation. A conversation on the virtue of courage with [[Fiainfaobhar Ó Chonlaoch]] played an unexpectedly helpful part in resolving [[the Songbook Conspiracy]]. Consequently, Deirbhile was made a cinnire mid-battle by [[Briste]], who was then the cinnire-at-arms.

Consequently, Deirbhile was made a cinnire mid-battle by [[Briste]], who was then the cinnire-at-arms.

	The [[Season of Graves]] saw Deirbhile return to Draíod with the Band. Conal Quartzbane, a member of the Council of Lavran, ~~paid a visit in connection with~~ her ~~recent~~ research. With help from Briste, Ultan, and Fionnvarr, she fielded his queries, but he left displeased ~~by the answers he received~~. ~~Deirbhile also received visits from two Vartach seeking counsel: Liadan,~~ a ~~marred Sunspear~~, ~~and Cathal~~, ~~a struggling Line Breaker poet. Liadan seems to have found hope in~~ Deirbhile~~'s words, as the Band met~~ her ~~again as~~ a ~~pilgrim~~ in the ~~Shaper's Steps~~. ~~However~~, ~~following a private conversation with Deirbhile~~, ~~Cathal was seen leaving~~ the Band~~'s camp in some distress~~.		The [[Season of Graves]] saw Deirbhile return to Draíod with the Band. Conal Quartzbane, a member of the Council of Lavran, visited following her research in Lavran on the relationship between the Vartach and the Fathach. With help from Briste, Ultan, and Fionnvarr, she fielded his queries, but he left displeased. For a time, because of perceived danger, Deirbhile kept word of her research confined to a small group of Fathach and Vartach in the Band. Now, however, it is open to any member of the Band to join discussion of the Pact of Stone - but care is still advised with outsiders.

	~~Following this season~~, ~~research~~ Deirbhile ~~tried to carry out in Draíod was met with hostility~~. ~~Reports later circulated that representatives of~~ the ~~Saoi have issued cautions about~~ her~~, urging people to report her to~~ the ~~nearest Clashing Swords if seen~~. ~~Additionally~~, a ~~poem she wrote about~~ Cathal ~~has become linked to violence~~ in ~~Draíod~~.		Also while in Draíod, Deirbhile received visits from two Vartach seeking counsel: Liadan, a marred Sunspear, and Cathal, a struggling Line Breaker poet. Liadan found hope in Deirbhile's words, as the Band met her again as a pilgrim in the Shaper's Steps. However, following a private conversation with Deirbhile, Cathal left the Band's camp in some distress.

	~~During the [[Season of Masquerade]]~~, Deirbhile ~~proved crucial~~ in ~~saving~~ the ~~life of a guest at an occasion hosted by House Ua Órfhaiche~~, of the ~~Carmine circle~~. She ~~declined~~ the ~~offered reward of adoption into~~ that ~~house, but instead accepted a marriage of esteem~~.		Following these events, research Deirbhile tried to carry out in Draíod was met with hostility. Reports later circulated that representatives of the Saoi have issued cautions about her, urging people to report her to the nearest Clashing Swords if seen. She wrote a poem about Cathal and circulated it in an effort to find the fellow Line Breaker. But Deirbhile soon learned that Cathal had died during questioning by Saoirse Drakebane's militia - and her poem was now linked to violence in Draíod.

	~~The Band's actions during~~ the Season of Masquerade ~~seem~~ to have led authorities in Draíod to treat ~~her~~ as less of a source of danger. ~~Deirbhile was recently able to return~~ to Crag Oscionn ~~for the first time in several seasons.

During the [[Season of Masquerade]], Deirbhile saved the life of a guest at an occasion hosted by House Ua Órfhaiche of the Carmine circle, the family of the Iarla of Siabhal. She accepted a marriage of esteem as a reward. When the Band returned to Draíod for a [[Season of Sorcery]], she received three suitors from the Órfhaiche family: Seán, Art, and Dónal. She chose Dónal and they swiftly married.

			The Band's recent successes have led authorities in Draíod to treat Deirbhile as less of a source of danger. When she returned to Crag Oscionn, she was followed and watched by Clashing Swords but not stopped or arrested. Added to her new bond with the prominent House Ua Órfhaiche, her life now seems more secure.
