Volund's birth name was Buadach, the son of a brewer. He was to be fostered by the smith of the clan, but in the horrible raid upon the clan in which we lost our chieftain Domhnaill, the smith was killed, the forge raided and burnt to the ground.

Buadach was sent to Britain, the land of his mother, to learn the craft from her people. A Saxon slave, impressed with Buadach's skill and the quality of work names him "Volund". The smith, being a rather crude and brutish man, was without a wife and tasked Volund to various kitchen duties as well. Volund became master of both the forge fire and the cooking fire.

Volund has served the clan as both a Brughiean and as Druid.
