Tuath Dé

## Tuatha Dé

'Tribe of the Gods'

The **Tuatha Dé** or '**Tribe of the Gods**' was a faction of the Grigori (specifically made by '**The Source**' and the other Protas) who dealt with various aspects of creation at the behest of their creator, until his sealing at the hands of Albrîhron. The rest of the faction (minus **Albrîhron**, Dagda, and Morrigan) continues to exist and function essentially awaiting the return of The Source. The faction got along well with the Followers of Brahma faction.

The faction's youth is maintained by magic, literally coursing magic through their bodies and rejuvenating themselves through the abundant purified Chaos flowing through the Multiverse.

## History

### The Era of the Protas

Each of the **Grigori** of the **Tuatha Dé** were created by a **Protas** to serve the will of '**The Source**' in maintaining various aspects of creation.

* **Lilvani** was created by Ituna, Goddess of the Sky and Storms with power over the Moon, a celestial body in the Continent's sky which had effects on its surface.
* **Lugh** was created by Ritarin and Xaknera with power over the Sun, a solar body in the Continent's sky which had effects on its surface, plant life, etc. As well as Promises and Oaths.

### The Era of the Grigori

At some point in Earth's history, this Grigori faction made its presence felt in Ireland ( with Albrîhron calling himself Nada ) ruling the island for a long time leaving in it before leaving, four artifacts with unknown purposes (with the exception of Lia Fáil which apparently is able to enhance the navigator gene to users who possess it )

## Relationship towards other Grigori factions

TBA

**Albrîhron** was created by the Protas entity known as The Source using his own silver Ichor.
He was intended to regulate the strong magic produced tear in reality to Nilfheim by the Throne of the Source in the Fey Realm of Tír na nÓg.
He would be affected by the magic and in an unforeseen event due to the strength of the magic would be more susceptible to long-range whispers from the Cosmic Horrors leading to him betraying his creator in favor of himself and unknowingly the Cosmic Horrors themselves.
These events would lead to the death of The Source's physical body and **Albrîhron** taking power in **Tír na nÓg**, using the confusion of the Grigori Rebellion he escaped the gaze of the Protas and his new realm faded into the background of their memories.
The power to enact his betrayal however came with a price and he was unknowingly infected by a larval Outer God, after ruling his kingdom for five centuries, he decided to enter a deep sleep compelled by the larva to let the two become one.
For many millennia he would sleep, before waking up after his sister Morrigan is freed from her sealing in 1790 by The Source.
**Dagda** was created by the goddess Asherah, the Queen of the Protas using her own golden ichor to serve as the patron god of Druids and the shepherd of Life and Death.
He became the lover and husband of **Morrigan**. He was killed by **Albrîhron** before **Morrigan's** sealing as he was a danger to the mad Grigori's plans.
**Dana Meadbh** was created by the god Xyzotl as his representative to the new lower-dimensional races, she would be known to the *Aubha* and later their descendants the Aen Seidhe who would worship her as a goddess.
**Epona** was created by the goddess Asherah, the Queen of the Protas using her own golden ichor for the purpose of ensuring the healthy births of horses and bountiful harvests alongside Dana Meadbh.
Asherah created the first pair of horses for Epona who bred them and spread their progeny throughout several verses.
**Morrigan** was created by the Protas entity known as The Source to bring magic to the ancient world of the Continent, she was essential in teaching proto-civilizations in the magical arts, and she along with her husband left lessons for the druids to find and use in their lives.
Before she was sealed ancient magic permeated the Continent, but was semi-sealed up with her.
It wasn't until the First Conjunction of the Spheres that the true force of magic was reignited in the Continent.

## Notes

* The Grigori faction known as the **Tuath Dé** is a pure fanon creation as such there is no official proof of its existence in the Witcher works outside the fanon community.
* The **Tuatha Dé** are free to use in stories and articles, all I ask is that you honor the lore present.
