Aehd
The Lord of Fire |
|
|
|
A son of Ler, the Sea God, Aehd is the governing force behind the raw power and transmutation of fire. He shares much of his domain with Brigit, the goddess of smithcraft, poetry, and childbirth. Legend holds that Aehd was transformed by the wicked stepmother Aife (along with three of his brothers, see Conn, Fiachra, and Finnguala) into a swan of unsurpassed beauty. Because of this, followers of the Flame Lord's faith despise the false queen and her brooding followers.
His followers tend to have firey tempers and embrace change, counting many noted anarchists and revolutionaries against the Tir na Nog court within their numbers. |

Brigit
Trinity Goddess |
|
|
|
Brigit's domain is that of smithcraft, poetry, and childbirth or motherhood. Her realm is that of fire because of the flame's power in changing one form to another, crucial to the crafts of the forge. She is the daughter of Daghda, and the patron deity of the Brigantes tribe of Celt nomads who wander the lands west of Connla. The Albions have bastardized her glory and divinity by stealing her name from the true Pantheon to enrich their own. Saint Brigit, as she is known there, is one of their false immortal priests. Because of this, followers of the Trinity's faith despise the Albion church and seek to purge it completely of Brigit's true name.
Followers tend to be motherly in nature, but quick to anger when a threat is clear. Though firey in passions, she is easily soothed by the dulcet tones of a silver-tongued poetic bard. |

Credne, Goibhniu, Luchta
Smith Gods |
|
|
|
Considered the consorts of Brigit, these three gods make up the entire spectrum of craftsman faith.
Credne is associated with all forms of worked metal, be it ferrite, gold, dolomite, bronze, etc. He is also closely linked to Etan, and their followers normally work together as artisans of metalcraft.
Goibhniu is, outside of being a god of crafts, also the provider of the sacred Hibernian feast known as Fled Goibnenn. He is associated with brewcrafting and legend has it that he formed the draught of immortality, but was lost somewhere within the Abergavenny (Goibhniu's River).
Luchta holds domain over the crafts of artifice, such as mechanics and the wright (plowright, wagonwright, etc). Is also called the God of the Wheel and is closely tied to Nehalennia, the goddess of travellers and safe voyages. |
