Tuatha de Danann

A collective, claiming to be the oldest of the Fae

Description

The Tuatha de Danann is a group of Gentry, uncommon in that they all keep to a shared realm, their Changeling servants rarely 'owned' by any one member of the tribe. They maintain the old ways of tending fairy rings and hills, hunting, reliving old battles and victories, and toying with those humans that come into their domain. Their shared realm is the embodiment of the legends of old Celtic tales of the British Isles. Arthurian legend is a bit too modern for them, and anything beyond is of no interest to them at all, and seems to not even exist in their domain beyond the carefully kept memories of their Changeling servants. The Lost they take could embody any of the old tales from brownies, pookas and nymphs to heroic mortals on quests, to the sentient trees and animals.


Realm

REALM NAME The Faerie Hill

Methodology

The Lost they take are most often hapless victims. Those who wander through the largely lost and forgotten hedgegates scattering the countryside in stone circles, dolmans and fairy hills. Others are 'marked' when they unwittingly break some tabboo or cross some territory line made thousands of years ago and forgotten by all but the Tuatha. Others find themselves lured in, or caught by Loyalists who stage elaborate parties in the woods, or capture those who fall asleep in fairy rings or fairy hills.


Suggested Themes for Escapees

Anything that works within ancient Celtic lore and mythology.

By Seeming

  • Beast - Many of the stories revolve around people being turned to animals, swans, cows, deer, etc, out of jealousy, spite or for some slight.
  • Darkling - Fomorian soldiers, dark sprites, etc.
  • Elemental - Sentient trees, the north wind, will-o-wisps
  • Fairest - Heroes sent on endless quests to amuse the Gentry, targets of doomed affection, treasures
  • Ogre - Soldiers, Giants, stone men and bog monsters
  • Wizened - Sidekicks, staff members, preservers of the stories, those that cook and lure.
