The Lords was one of two classifications in the Children of Danu, a druidic cult that operated in the Norse-Gaelic kingdoms of Ireland in the late 9th century.[1]
History
The Lords was a branch of the Children of Danu in late 9th century Ireland. This branch consisted of five members and specialized in acquiring resources through trade and influencing the lost and disenfranchised druids, furthering the growth of the sect and strengthening their presence.[2] In 879, after Flann Sinna's coronation, after being instructed by the leader, "The Oak," to manipulate the people of Rathcroghan, the poetess Niamh, also known as "The Wren," soon became a target of two opposing druids, the priestess Deirdre Na Linni and poetess Ciara ingen Medba, who sent an ally to spy on her. However, Niamh found the spy and killed him.[3]
However, Niamh was found and assassinated by Flann and Ciara's ally, the Viking jarlskona Eivor Varinsdottir, who took her amber shard as a component for the poison afflicting Flann's men. Niamh's personal effects also shared evidence of the poison being created by a High Druid named "The Cursed."[3] Meanwhile, some Lords, such as Ruaidrí, "The Deer," and Aideen, "The Spider," extorted villagers to fight against Flann or spying and gathering intel on Dublin's affairs, respectively. However, Conlae, "The Blaze," joined out of pure pyromaniacal desires rather than the beliefs of the cult's tenets. Nevertheless, by 881, all three Lords met their ends after being assassinated by Eivor.[4]
After the King of Dublin, Bárid mac Ímair, died from an ambush at Clogher, Bécc mac Nath-í, "The Seed," stalled the transportation of siege weapons to the new King of Dublin, Bárid's son, Sichfrith. However, his actions were noticed by Azar, Dublin's trade advisor, who notified Eivor. During his tenure with the Children of Danu, he tried to recruit and train men to go against Flann and was told to meet The Oak at Armagh to combine their forces. However, Bécc was soon assassinated by Eivor, who uncovered The Oak's identity to be the Abbot Eogan. Ultimately, the Lords of the cult were completely decimated.[5]
