[ Introduction ] [ Tuatha De Dannaan ] [ Firbolg ] [ Formors ] [ Milesians ]
Introductory History
The Tuatha De Danann originally lived on what were called "the islands in the west," later traveled on a big cloud to the land (Connaught) that would later be called part of Ireland. Shortly after their arrival they defeated the Firbolg at the first battle of Mag Tuireadh; later giving them the province of Connacht because of the good fight. In the second battle of Mag Tuireadh they fought and conquered the Fomorians. The Sidhe were later driven to the underworld by the Milesians at Tetown.
