"The Children of Danu have perverted their beliefs into a weapon."
―Ciara ingen Medba[src][[ [citation needed] |-[m]]]

The Children of Danu was the name of the Irish branch of the Order of the Ancients. [citation needed] They operated in Ireland under the guise of a Druidic cult that worshipped the Irish goddess of the Tuatha Dé Danann. The Children of Danu acted as a violent resistance movement against the rise of the Norse and Christian faiths in Ireland, which had resulted in the native Druidic faith of Classical Antiquity facing the danger of extinction. Thus, the high ranking members within the Children of Danu sought to acquire and use the power of any ancient relics, such Lia Fáil, in hopes to revive their beliefs.[3]

During the 9th century, the Children of Danu was eliminated by the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan,[4] an ally of the Hidden Ones who had recently weeded out the last vestiges of the Order of the Ancients in England and Norway.[5]
