The Tuatha de Danaan Home Page

In the Fifth Wave of Irish Invasions...
he Tuatha de Danaan were a highly
skilled band of faeryfolk, with great knowledge and skill in the arts of magick, music,
poetry, and weaponry. They arrived in Ireland shrouded in swirling mists,
journeying from their home cities of Falias in the north, Gorias in the east,
Finias in the South, and Murias in the west. Upon descending upon the land,
the Tuatha de Danaan quickly conquered the Fir Bolg, who had colonized
Ireland under a treaty with the Fomorians. Soonafter, the Tuatha King, Lugh,
defeated Balor - the Fomorian's greatest warrior, and the Fomorians were
driven from the island.
The Danaan ruled Ireland for a hundred years, when, on the First of May,
the Milesians fell upon the island. Despite the great magick and prowess
of the Tuatha, the Milesians triumphed. One of the Danaan's great gods,
The Dagda, led them underground and found retreats for them in hollow hills
encompassed by hidden walls, to live undisturbed by mortals.
But many of the Tuatha de Danaan were not content to live hidden away,
unable to share their vast knowledge of magick and art. A small band of
the faeryfolk left Ireland and came to the mystical land of Necromium, so
that they might teach their ways to those who would learn....
