Udaín of Muén was a likely-mythical Eonedíc pre-Valahandian tribal chieftain attributed with founding the settlement of Doundain around 786 AD. His life and supposed triumphs were the subject of countless oral tales during the early years of the Kingdom of Valahandia, and a compilation of twenty-two of the most well-known of these tales was penned around 1195 as The Saga of Udaín. Cesan the Great, the first King of Valahandia, crowned in 1351 AD, claimed to be a direct descendant of Udaín, but the exact nature of this supposed genealogical tie was never recorded.
