- An extremely limiting Vow, or maybe a Delusion. If imposed by a malicious supernatural force it could even be part of a Destiny or a Divine Curse (i.e., on a man whose mother, wife, sisters, and daughters are all green-eyed). In a fantasy campaign, possibly a really vicious Pact limitation.
First, a geas against green eyed women is liable to be a real handicap in a Celtic society (...oops ;-)) and second, with the food and land taboo he is quite likely to break his geas by accident and/or get Cuchulained.
