• The Fate of the Children of Tuireann Aug 12, 2025

  

  In the days when Lugh Lámhfhada ruled as champion of the Tuatha Dé Danann, there came a time when the seeds of old hatred bore bitter fruit. This is the tale of how vengeance, once awakened, can destroy not only the guilty but the innocent, and how even the gods themselves are subject to the inexorable laws of fate.

  The trouble began with an ancient rivalry between two great families of the Tuatha Dé Danann. Cian, the father of Lugh, belonged to one clan, while Tuireann the Strong belonged to another. No one could remember how the feud had started – some said it began over a woman, others over a slight to honor, and still others claimed it dated back to a dispute over cattle. But whatever its origin, the hatred between the two houses had grown with each generation, poisoning the hearts of their children.
