In 788, led by Maeláine, they joined the Siege of Lobhan. Members of this band infiltrated the town, and found something within that led Maeláine to order its burning.
Never formally decommissioned after Maeláine took the crown, during the Season of Uncertainty the regent recognised Aster Ua Larkspur as the standing Thane of that band. Letters were posted in many towns and villages claimeing that Aster had been given authority over all Gallóglaigh who had been separated from their bands, who were ordered to join her to receive further orders. The letters also specified that any Gallóglach travelling to meet Aster was to do all they could to ensure the safety of the roads and outlying settlements as they travelled. The orders did not specify Aster’s location.
Many initially took the orders to be a hoax or perhaps some kind of trap but the Regent did nothing to disavow Aster’s claim to authority and as the months went on “members” of the Golden Knives began to be seen wandering the roads of Tirneach. Always on their way to meet their Thane and always watchful for threats overlooked by the capitals, both supernatural and mundane.
