Onboard one of the ships that had docked at the Midgard settlement came Uald, a very wise and powerful runemaster. The Midgard forces constructed two strongholds in the east side of Emain Macha. Inside these strongholds Uald used an ancient summoning stone and a spell that allows the bending of matter which allowed him to construct two portals that would allow Midgards to flow into the land without wasting several months at sea.

Fagan quickly demanded the creation of two gates that would be used to halt the Midgard forces from entering Emain Macha. The creation of these gates did not go without blood being spilt. Hundreds of Hibernian soldiers passed to the neitherworld defending the gates construction.

The Tuatha de Anu were greatly saddened by these casualties and decided it was time to

endow the soldiers of Hibernia with the same life giving power that Brighid possessed. The Tuatha traveled to every major city and taught the master healers to use the town's runestone to bring the fallen soldiers back from the dead. Each soldier was then given a miniature runestone that would bind him or her to their hometown's stone. These quickly became known as Bindstones. With this innovation the Hibernian soldiers fought without fear of death.

However, there was one way that the spirit could be lost and not return to the bindstone. If by chance the miniature stone was lost or not on the body of the fallen victim the body would be lost in the neitherworld and permanent death would betake the soul.
