Database: The Children of Danu

A secret society within the druid culture, the Children of Danu formed out of a desperation to keep druidry alive in the face of an ever-growing Christian population.

The name Danu comes from the Celtic earth-mother goddess, so it's clear her "children" believed quite strongly in their rightful connection to her lands. So strongly, in fact, that instead of taking civil approach, they sought to regain control Ireland through two defining groups within their ranks.

High Druids specialized in twisted versions of ancient practices, often convening in the cover of night to study ancient artifacts and perform experimental rituals, all in the hopes of discovering a powerful advantage over the many Christian kings and bring them to their knees.

Lords specialized in acquiring resources through trade and influencing the lost and disenfranchised druids, furthering the growth of the sect and strengthening their presence.
