BRAN Son of the Irish king Febal, Bran voyaged in search of the group of islands where can be found, according to a beautiful woman who appeared to him, a world without treachery, sickness, sorrow or death. Bran found these islands, especially the Island of Women, which he only left after being persuaded by a homesick comrade. Returning home, however, Bran found that he was unknown in his native Ireland, except as a legendary voyager to the other world, so he set sail again.
