| Aengus The Songbird |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Aengus is one of the sons of the Daghda, and is closely associated with birds, especially the songbird that is his namesake. He is a very accomplished musician and considered a god of beauty and perfection of form. Followers tend to be aloof and unconcerned with the troubles around them, remaining pure and unblemished. They also share close bonds with the deities of Nature as Aengus's association with birds is well known to druids and wardens. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cairbre The Divine Bard |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cairbre is the son of Oghma and Etan, themselves both deities of the pantheon of Art. Legend holds that Cairbre's power of poetic eloquence raised welts on the face of Breas, the King of Tuatha de Danaan, which resulting in his losing the throne, all because of a simple insult. Followers can be vain or self-absorbed, but with good reason, for their beauty and skill with music are seldom surpassed. They tend to be greatly gifted with songcraft and bardic music, and create most of the ballads and tunes sung in inns and taverns throughout Hibernia. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Etan The Artisan |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Etan is the daughter of Dioncecht so she shares much in the domain of Life. Married to the warrior poet Oghma, they together gave birth to the divine poet Cairbre. She holds sway over the artisans of Hibernia, and of craftsmen of art. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Oghma Mystic Seer |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Oghma is a child of the Daghda, a warrior god who is closely connected to knowledge, magick, and eloquence. He is the inventor of the Hibernian script, the Celtic runes of magickal power which grant the wielder mystical power and vision. Although associated with the domain of art for the script's power of beauty, many of his followers are the arcane spellcasters of the realm. They are also strongly devoted to the detsruction of the Midgard runecaster form of magic, a bastardized version of Hibernian script. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Maponus Poet Lord |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Closely associated with all forms of poetry and music, and has the unique place in the Hibernian pantheon for being "lost" to the realm during the very first Albion occupation of Hibernia. Even to this day Albion's minstrels sing songs directly stolen from ancient Maponus songbooks, though they will never claim this is true. Followers of Maponus, therefore, are vehemently opposed to the corrupted music of the minstrels, and the brusque, crude, chanting of the skalds. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fer I Divine Harpist |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Though a minor deity in scape and domain, the Divine Harpist's haunting melodies were said to have made all who heard it laugh, weep, or slumber depending on His wish. He is always depicted sitting alongside or above a waterfall playing his ruby harp. He is the son of a mortal, Eogabal, but was adopted by Aine the Faerie Goddess when his father was slain by the hands of Fomorians. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
