Yes, they were _way_ ahead of him!

: spider-gods; they outfitted it with handy-dandy gates
: and lightning towers to keep away any of its more
: annoying inhabitants. Nice place to take a vacation of

: went...wherever they went.

Nice place? Errr, you seen what it's like in there? They built it as a prison for Connacht, and though they'd doubtless know how to get in & out at will, I couldn't see why they'd choose a place that (a) Connacht had control of and (b) would soon be overrun with krids.

They put nice handiwork in there, sure. But they also put nice carvings & gadgets inside the catacombs. With their skill, they could easily have built another artifact or three that more than rival the Tain, which after all was just a trivial piece of nonsense that was commissioned by an Emperor they didn't really like, hence the utter lack of comfortable furnishings, cable tv & jack daniels inside. The stuff they did for themselves would have been much better.
