The Tuatha De Dannon

Dana – All Mother (TN) – Over God

Dana is the over god of the Pantheon. She is neutral in all things. She exists to ensure balance
is maintained in the world. She is distant and has never appeared to her followers. She is the
embodiment of existence. On the power level of deities scale she would be an 11. She can
grant and remove godhood at a whim. Her existence is beyond that of any mortal kin or
understanding. Clerics get power if they worship her, but she has no specific domains and thus
they are granted none. She is seen as cold and uncaring. A distant mother that gave birth to
the Tuatha de Dannon. She grew angry with the balance being disrupted by her children
interfering directly with mortal lives.

Eyre (Pronounced Ire) – Goddess of Magic and Sex, Forgemistress of the Gods, Mother
of Dragons (CN, accepts followers of all alignments) – Greater God

Eyre is the embodiment of Magic on the world. It is through her the chaos flows and allows
magical beings of all descriptions to access it without destroying themselves. Before she
arrived, when the Formorai ruled the world was primordial and chaotic. Magic was uncontrolled
and destructive. She is the eldest daughter of Dana. Oldest among the gods. Thus, it fell to
her to control the strongest power of the world, magic. She was the first among the gods to
have children with the broken mortals of the world. She is as passionate as she is kind, she can
be capricious and strange with her behaviors. She was the only god that ignored Dana when
she ordered the gods to distance themselves from Mortals. She is the shaper of the Nightblade
Artifact Weapons, the Armor of Cu Cullan, the Ring of the Undying and the various other
artifacts used to defeat the Fomorai in the three great god wars. She is often depicted as a
woman in her twenties with long flowing red hair and emerald green eyes. Or as a Platinum
Dragon. Stories surrounding her make her sound almost like a god of mischief. She despises
order. Does her best to ignore rules. She is often depicted as the brattiest of the Gods. Her
temples ranged from hedonistic pleasure palaces to libraries of magical knowledge.
Sometimes the two halves did not see eye to eye. She is openly opposed to Dana’s “mortal’s
should be left to their own devices rules” and openly flaunted her disregard for it before her
disappearance. Rumor in the heaven’s is Dagda tired of his sisters (who saw as his inferior)
behavior and took steps to limit it. Eyre believes as the eldest of Dana it is her who should rule
the gods, not Dagda. In the past she would often appear to her followers directly guiding them
or doing…other things with them. She has not been witnessed in person in several centuries.
Her temples have fallen into disrepair and her followers haven’t been receiving spells. Magic
has become far weaker, and far more chaotic. What has happened to the once mighty heroine
of the mortals?

The Ruby Lady – Incarnation of Vengeance – (Unknown, any woman can follow her)
(Unknown)

The Ruby Lady is an unknown quantity even to the other Gods. Her comings and goings are a
mystery to them. She could be a remnant of an old deity once thought slain by the Formorai
when they invaded this world long before the Tuatha De Dannon came to this place. There are
old places, temples, towers and the like that are from that time but they are a mystery to all
today. The Formorai invaded, killed the previous gods and enslaved the mortals to their will.
What she is, or who she is matters little, she is untouchable. Her presence was completely
unknown until the Orcs unprovoked attack on the Elves. It was as if the lust for vengeance the
elves felt became manifest, or perhaps it awoke something old and dangerous. Since the War
of Ashes the Ruby Lady appears to woman’s who beg for vengeance against men who wronged
them. Reaps a bloody justice using the woman’s body. Leaves the body healed and bereft of
any scars. The woman’s soul at ease. Woman who claim to have seen visions of her describe
her as an elven woman with glowing ruby eyes and in a red hooded robe. What truth there is to
this is as flimsy as those who say they have fished up a Kraken while relating their drunken
tales from the sea. She is real though and when she possesses a woman’s body, the woman is
an unstoppable killing machine until The Ruby Lady has delivered what she considered justice
upon the wrong doers. It is whispered between men that should a woman’s eyes glow red they
should make their peace with the Gods for their death is upon them. Those that die from her
wrath cannot be resurrected and it is as if their soul is destroyed. Their eyes are burned out of
their sockets. Any woman, whether wronged or not, who believes that women should be free of
men’s tyranny can worship the Ruby Lady and in return will be granted spells. Failure to protect
a woman in need results in the revocation of all powers. One wonders what sort of damage a
truly powerful woman such as an elven high mage could wrought on the world. People often
look to the Ash Lands and wonder what she might do next time.
