==History==
The Lords were a branch of the Children of Danu in late 9th century Ireland. This branch consisted of five members who specialized in acquiring resources through trade and influencing the lost and disenfranchised druids, furthering the growth of the sect and strengthening their presence.Assassin's Creed: Valhalla − Wrath of the Druids − Database: The Children of Danu In 879, after Flann Sinna's coronation as , the poetess Niamh was instructed by the Children's leader "The Oak" to manipulate the people of Rathcroghan under her cryptonym of "The Wren". This brought her into conflict with two opposing druids, the priestess Deirdre Na Linni and poetess Ciara ingen Medba, both of whom sent a mutual ally to spy on her, though Niamh soon identified and killed the spy.Assassin's Creed: Valhalla − Wrath of the Druids − Potion of Blood
However, Niamh, in turn, was found and assassinated by Flann and Ciara's ally, the Viking jarlskona Eivor Varinsdottir, who took Niamh's amber shard as a component for a cure to the poison afflicting Flann's army. Niamh's personal effects also shared evidence of the poison being created by a High Druid named "The Cursed." Meanwhile, three other Lords continued extorting villagers, with Ruaidrí forcing them to fight Flann under his cover as "The Deer", while Aideen pressured civilians as "The Spider" to gather intelligence on Dublin's affairs. In stark contrast, their colleague Conlae had joined out of pure pyromaniacal desires rather than the cult's beliefs and was given the fitting moniker of "The Blaze". Nevertheless, by 881, all three Lords met their ends after being assassinated by Eivor.Assassin's Creed: Valhalla − Wrath of the Druids − Children of Danu
After Dublin's king Bárid mac Ímair was killed in an ambush at Clogher,Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Wrath of the Druids – The Mask of Diplomacy Bécc mac Nath-í used his cover of "The Seed" to try recruiting and training men to fight Flann's army, ultimately stalling and preventing shipments of siege weapons from reaching Dublin's new king, Bárid's son Sichfrith. However, Dublin's trade advisor Azar noticed his actions and notified Eivor. At the same time, Bécc was told to meet The Oak at Armagh to combine their forces, but was intercepted and assassinated by Eivor, who uncovered The Oak's identity to be the Abbot Eogan. Ultimately, the Lords of the cult were completely eliminated.Assassin's Creed: Valhalla − Wrath of the Druids − The Wages of War
