===War cry and mottos=== The ''Dord Fian''<ref>[https://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803095727226 Oxford Reference: Dord Fian]</ref> or ''Dord Fiansa''<ref>[[eDIL]] - "dord", http://www.dil.ie/18319</ref> was the [[war-cry]] of the ''Fianna'', and they often sounded it before and amid battle, either as a mode of communication or to put fear into their enemies. In the legend ''"The Death of Fionn"'', [[Fionn mac Cumhaill|Fionn]] raises the ''Dord Fian'' when he sees his grandson [[Oscar (Irish mythology)|Oscar]] fall in the ''[[Battle of Gabhra]]'' against the armies of [[Cairbre Lifechair]], and proceeds to strike back at the enemy with great fury, killing many dozens of warriors.<ref>[[Augusta, Lady Gregory]] - ''Gods and Fighting Men (1904) Chapter - The Death of Fionn''</ref> The ''Battle of Gabhra'' also marked the demise of the Fianna. They had three [[motto]]es: *''Glaine ár gcroí'' (Purity of our hearts) *''Neart ár ngéag'' (Strength of our limbs) *''Beart de réir ár mbriathar'' (Action to match our speech)
