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 resulted in the native Druidic faith of Classical Antiquity facing the danger of becoming extinct.

Because of the fears of their native Druidic faith being replaced, their main goal was to overthrow the traditional Christian order of Ireland and restore their native Druidic faith of Classical Antiquity. Unknown to most followers of the cult, the high ranking members within the Children of Danu sought to acquire and use the power any ancient relics they come across for their cause. An example of this is when the Children of Danu's leaders had also expressed interest in using the mythical powers of the Lia Fáil for their cause.

During the 9th century, the Children of Danu eliminated by the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan,[1] an ally of the Hidden Ones who had recently weeded out the last vestiges of the Order of the Ancients in England and Norway.[2]
