Athlethan, a place of brightness. The things of light were learned of and taught. Riangbra gave that illumination, when Emain first arrived on this land, at the beginning of the first age. He came with his village, from an early time in his country’s history. To a land that was different, where the stars were not like his own. There were two suns that provided light for the day and there was no moon.

  Here in Athlethan warriors were made and destinies written. The First Scatach sword of King Ailell Findabair, son of Emain, imbued with power by Riangbra, would bring a glow that could not be dimmed, till then, that which was written in the Chronicle Prophetica, had happened. Destinies written in the Chronicle that would need to be fulfilled.

  It was in the third age that a descendant of Emain was born. His given names were Tuatha De Daanan Findabair, which in the old tongue means, tribe of the white phantom. Tuatha was a tall man, with blonde hair and olive skin. His eyes, blue as rare agate, commanded respect and he was by nature of a serious demeanour. Not laughing very often unless provoked by a clever jest. He was protective of those who were unjustly treated.

  Prince Tuatha was of his tribe and land in both spirit and body. His people knew, respected, and loved him. He spent his childhood on the streets of the city and knew many by name. Twenty cycles he spent among the people, protecting and learning from them.

  But that time was ending. He was about to embark on a mission that would change him forever.

  The Tuatha Dé Danann were a mythological race of deities who are said to be descended from an earlier mythological Irish race, the Nemed. The Tuatha Dé Danann came to Ireland, according to the myths, from the magical cities of Fálias, Findias, Gorias and Murias.

  There are a number of Tuatha Dé Danann, each looking different. Generally speaking, however, the Tuatha Dé Danann looked much like normal people.

  Sources of Irish mythology do not say what happened to the Tuatha Dé Danann, but it is believed they fled into the Otherworld. They are believed to have become the síthe (formerly the sidhe), meaning "fairies" or "people of the [fairy] mounds" in English.

  The fact that Emain and his people were taken to an Otherworld appealed to Tautha's fathers sense of humour. So he named his son after these non-existant and mythological deities.
