Editing Elidor (section)

===Irish legend===
The four castles of Elidor – Findias in the South, Falias in the West, Murias in the North, and Gorias in the East – correspond to the four cities of the [[Tuatha Dé Danann]] in [[Irish legend and old history]] – Finias (sic), Falias, Murias, and Gorias.<ref name="thehistoryofireland">Geoffrey Keating (2002), ''The History of Ireland''</ref>

The four treasures of Elidor – the Spear of Ildana held by Malebron, David's sword, Nicholas's stone, and Helen's cauldron – correspond to the [[Four Treasures of the Tuatha Dé Danann]] – the [[Spear of Lugh]], [[Claíomh Solais]], [[Lia Fáil]], and [[The Dagda's Cauldron]]. However, the associations between the treasures and the castles differ – in ''Elidor'' the Spear of Ildana is associated with Gorias, whereas the Irish mystical equivalent, the Spear of Lugh, is associated with Finias (although the treasure associated with Gorias, Claíomh Solais, is sometimes called the Sword of Lugh, which may explain the confusion).<ref name="thehistoryofireland"/>
