Lia

Lia was the Lord of Luachar, Connacht. Lia was the Treasurer of Clan Morna. During the ascendancy of Clan Morna, when Goll Mac Morna became captain of the Fianna, Lia became Treasurer of the Fianna. Lia took the treasure bag after killing Cumhaill, the captain of the Fianna. His station as Treasurer was that he guarded the magic treasure bag, made of the skin of the crane. The bag was magical because it could hold many items not physically possible.

Finn avenged his father by killing Lia, taking back the treasure bag.

Lia was the father of Conan Mac Lia.
