| Cyhiraeth Fountain Nymph |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cyhiraeth is a water spirit associated with fountains, brooks, and small streams. She has a connection with the Banshee in that her cry as well fortells death, but it is far more melodic and haunting. She also has the power to shapeshift into any aquatic form, and has done so in the past in many stories, speaking to traveler and fisherman alike and sending them on various quests. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| A symbol for fragility and innocence, Fand was both the wife of Manannan and the lover of the hero CuChullainn. Her image is that of a delicate and perfect maiden, weeping for the loss of her love CuChullainn, lounging in clear pools deep within the verdant woods. Also known as Fann, she is followed by many damsels and maidens who would be consider true "ladies". | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hafren The River Severn |

| Manannan He of the Sea |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A child of Ler, and the principle Sea-God. He is the father of all language and the giver and taker of life on the open water. Manannan is beseeched by all who war with the Midgardian longships on the open seas, and the galleys of Albion's inept navy. He is an ancient and powerful god, with many worshippers and secret sects to His will. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Nechtain The Sacred Wellspring |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Nechtain is the Keeper of the Sacred Well in which the Salmon of Knowledge spawn. He is closely associated with the Daghda, and is infatuated with Cyhiraeth. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
