| Aeron & Apona The Slaughtering |
||||||||||||||||||||
| Aeron is a viscious aspect of the Aon Morrigan, the consort to Agrona, and a war-god worshipped nearly universally by Celtic and Firbolg warriors. Apona, his mistress, is just a violent, just as brutal, but with her ties to the rivers, she is more widely followed by warriors of the Lurikeen and Elves. Followers of the pair live for battle and die for the chance to slay Hibernia's enemies. They vary greatly in personality outside of the battlefield, but within they are determined and persistant, dedicated to slaying the Albion vermin and the Migardian dogs. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Andrasta Iceni Wargoddess |
||||||||||||||||||||
| Andrasta is sister to Apona, but she and her followers frown upon the wanton slaughter and violence that her and her consort resort to. Primarily worshipped by the Iceni tribe of Hibernians (themselves having members from all races but dwelling far to the east, in the Valley of Bri Leith) she readily accepts sacrifices of hares for her blessings. She stands for finesse and grace in battle, just as firmly opposed to the threats against Hibernia, but in another form. Many of her followers are blademasters from the Iceni tribe, quick and confident, and twice and deadly. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Boudicca Iceni Queen |
||||||||||||||||||||
| Legends of the ancient Queen of the Iceni were numerous and grant in the days of her supremacy. Today only few remain, but the goddess of Victory has lost little of her power within the domain. Boudicca is worshipped and sought for blessings by every warrior or soldier of the Old Ways who ever walked onto the field of battle. She was originally lost when the greatest army of Iceni marched into the frozen wastes of Midgard but were defeated by trickery and biting ice. Her memory was lost there, dying with the brave souls that fought with songs of Boudicca on their lips, and Hibernia in their hearts. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Cymidei Cymeinfoll The War-Hag |
||||||||||||||||||||
| The War-Hag is said to give birth to a fully armed warrior every six weeks. She is also the wife of Llasar, the spiritual keeper of the Cauldron of Daghda. She is seen as the wellspring of some of Hibernia's greatest heroes, and worshipped by some who would one day become one. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Nemetona She of the Sacred Grove |
||||||||||||||||||||
| Nemetona is the war-spirit of the forest, the rage of nature, and childhood friend of Conn the Wolf. Many worshippers of nature and its magicks who would eagerly enlist to fight the invaders count themselves as followers of Nemetona. The mighty wardens of nature and the druids of battle flock to her banner to lend their aid on the battlefield alongside Hibernia's finest warriors. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Scathach Lady of Shadows |
||||||||||||||||||||
| Scathach is a warrior of the wisdom of vision. "He that cannot see ones enemy cannot defeat them" is a mantra of her followers, many of whom are rangers and nightshades. They seek find and defeat the unseen enemies of the other realms, to protect their fellow Hibernian from a strike from the shadows. She dwells in the lands of Albannach, and is known to be the tutor of the great hero CuChulainn in matters of both love and war. | ||||||||||||||||||||
