Question
One of these beings is swept away by a "Wave" near the harbour of Glandore after being put to sleep by Manannan's music in Colloquy of the Ancients. One object became able to give deceptive power when Clíodhna ("CLEE-nuh"), a queen of these beings, instructed Cormac Laidir MacCarthy to kiss it. Les Lavandières ("lah-vah-dee-AIRS") of Breton legend are analogues of these mythical beings that can be seen washing bloody clothes of dying people. These creatures, which are associated with namesake mounds and the (*) Morrigan, may summon a death coach via the traditional funerary practice of keening. These fae are said to shatter glass in parts of Leinster. For 10 points, name these female beings from Irish myth known for their wailing. ■END■
ANSWER: banshees [or bean sidhe or ban sith; accept bean-nighe; prompt on fairy women or fairies or fae until "fae" is read]
