Le’ir Bahr a’Ronei

The terms ‘honored teacher,’ ‘leader,’ ‘supreme friend,’ ‘mentor,’ ‘one who cares more for others than themselves’ – even ‘father’ – might be used, but none could have conveyed the true meaning of the term. 2.I.8 2675, 3065-3066.

Jamie had been even more surprised when he’d heard Niklas referred to as Le’ir Bahr a’Ronei. The title was not one used lightly. Its use stretched back in time to the founding of the planet Armagh by the rebellious Gaelic minority who migrated from the planet Tymore. Used to designate a great clan chief, the title had evolved over time and had come to hold high and sacred connotations. To be considered Le’ir Bahr a’Ronei even to one other person – like a high master to a disciple – was an immense honor, but to be bound by such a title to every one of the strong and fearsome gladiator warriors of Rood surpassed belief. 2.III.35. 16702, 16871-16875).
