The end of the world scenarios for the other pantheons set off the Fomorians to make another major attack on the Tuatha de Danann for Tir na nOg. Meanwhile the Red Lord is freed as leaves to the Dying Realm. It is decided by the Tuatha to deal with one threat at a time and deal with the Fomorians first whom are considered the bigger threat. One of the Tuatha Gods (Morrigan, The Dadga, or Brigid) decides to temporarily leave to battle to help mortals deal with the Red Lord for what time they can spare.
The Red Lord goes on a battle path of destruction after calling forth his Bane to join him. The Champions and Thunderbolts go to fight him after enough major environmental damage is done. They fight the Bane and do poorly as they are becoming more powerful as the Red Lord does by the more environmental damage done. Any direct attacks on the Red Lord are shrugged off and laughed after before being blasted away.
The Tuatha god intervenes as things go bad with powerful druidic magic driving them back if however briefly. The god forces a tactical retreat to explain the truth of the situation.
The Red Lord is explained to be a former member of the Tuatha and son of Morrigan and the Dadga. He went dark and attempted to take leadership of the Tuatha by force but failed and was banished for his action. During this banishment he attracted the attention of the darkside of Danu(Gaia) which bound with him and transformed him into the Red Lord. Due to the threat he poised to the world they battled him and imprisoned him within Annwn locking him away.
It is explained that they are currently not strong enough to bind the Red Lord again, at least not while the war continues between the Tuatha and the Fomorians. But if they could find the Green Knight the Red Lord's counter part he might be able to help bind him again.
A plan is formed to deal with the threat of the Red Lord and the Bane. A team of heavies goes to stall the Red Lord and the Bane and prevent them from becoming more powerful with the gods help. The are also given the powers of the Pendragon spirits to try to even up the fight. The other team goes to Avalon to find the Green Knight for aid against the Red Lord with aid from Eiltin as their guide.
After the Green Knight is found an revived and his Formorian guards are beaten the Dying world team is signaled and the God and any other magic users there help transport themselves and the Red Lord to Avalon. There they fight and the Red Lord is rebound.
The Bane are still on the loose causing trouble and will try to free their lord again at some point.

Character Name: Eiltin(EL-teen)
Character LJ (if applicable):
Physical description (face, build, weight): Eiltin is 6’ 4” feet tall and 410lbs. He is viewed as being small by most Danaan warriors since they are typically over 7 feet tall. He has blue tattoos on his body and on his face. Eiltin has blue eyes and blond hair.
Age: 20
Birthday: May 11
PB: (If using one.) Chris Hemsworth
Abilities: Can speak the Celtic Family of languages and English
Highly trained Warrior- He is trained by Scathach in martial arts that take advantage of his speed and agility and he is exceptionally talented with a spear and can use other Celtic weapons effectively. He has also gotten some training from his grandfather Ogma in the art of fighting as a champion.
Superhuman strength – While he does have it compared to the other Celtics he is very weak and only able to lift roughly 3 tons.
Superhuman Speed- His speed is greater than most gods. When moving at near his top speeds it is difficult for most beings to even see him. The upper limits of his speed are unknown but are assumed to be lower than his fathers. He needs to work up to his higher speeds and cannot just immediately go to them.
Superhuman Stamina- His Stamina is far beyond that of a normal human though well below normal for a Celtic god.
Superhuman Durability- Eiltin's body is much tougher and more resistant to physical injury than the body of a human being. His joints, muscles, and skin are also particularly well adapted to sustain the intense rigors of running at tremendous velocities without suffering wear and tear. Eiltin's sensory output is also specially developed for the rigors of moving at great velocities, enabling him to see, hear, and smell normally.
Superhumanly Dense Tissue: Eiltin's skin, muscle, and bone tissues have about 2 times the density as the same tissue in the body of a human being. This contributes, at least somewhat, to Eiltin's weight and superhuman strength.
Superhuman Agility: Eiltin's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.
Superhuman Reflexes: Eiltin's reflexes are similarly enhanced and are superior to those of the finest human athlete, and most other gods for that matter. Eiltin's reflexes are practically instantaneous and enable him to react while moving at high velocities, such as jumping or ducking or making turns just as a human does while running.
Regenerative Healing Factor: Despite his body's great resistance to injury, Eiltin can still be hurt. Like all other Celtic gods, Eiltin's accelerated metabolism and the mystical energies of his godly life force enable him to rapidly heal damaged bodily tissues much faster and more extensively than a human is capable of but much slower than most Celtic gods. He can't, however, regenerate missing limbs or organs, at least not without the aid of powerful and outside mystical forces. His body is immune, however, to all known Earthly diseases and infections.
Celtic Magic: Eiltin has basic knowledge of Celtic Magic and can use it make mild agustments to his appearance, Celtic symbology though only to draw minor signs of protection, and open up a fairy mound to Avalon.
Champions Voice- Eiltin's voice has a mesmerizing quality too it similar to a bards but less well trained. He can use it to invoke emotions in people and raise or lower morale in battle. Due to a little training from his father he is a very good storyteller with knowledge of many of the tales of the Celtic lands.
Due to his nature as a demi-god Eiltin can spend an unlimited amount of time on earth without his powers weakening or dying as would happen to a Celtic God without a human host.
Weaknesses and flaws: Eiltin is technically a mortal though he can live longer he will die but in death he has a chance of being apotheosis to a full-fledged Celtic God. He also has the other weakness of the Celtic gods
Since much of his godly energies are devoted to his speed he is much weaker and heals slowers that the average Celtic God or Demi-God
Character location/Home: Tir na nOg
Alignment (villain, hero etc): Hero
Relatives (living/dead?): Caber-Father, Mortal Woman- Mother, Brigid-Foster Mother, Ogma- Grandfather, Etan- Grandmother, Taranis- Uncle, Iarbonel- great-grandfather, Gaea/Danu- great-grandmother, the Dagda, Leir, Nuada- Great-uncles, Bodb, Macha, Morrigan- Great-aunts, Red Lord, Bran, Gwynn, Gwythr, Lugh, Mannana, Manawydan, Branwen, Bendigeit- Firstcousins once removed
Backstory: Born of a romantic tryst between Caber and a Mortal Woman in Avalon, Eiltin was born a demi god who was not very strong and lacked the greatly enhanced regenerative abilities that most Celtic Gods and demi Gods possess which made him be viewed as lesser and was not treated well by most of the Tuatha da Danaan. Since he did not have a mother to help raise him it was decided that he needed a foster-mother to help raise him and Brigid volunteered to take that role. Eiltin began walking at an early age and now long after that he was running at speeds that most gods could not catch him much to his father’s delight. Even so speed was not something prized among the Celts especially without strength or the toughness.
When he was five Caber started looking for someone to train his son how to fight and other skill he might need though had great difficulty doing so since most didn’t want to try him given his disadvantages. It got to the point that Caber would have trained Eiltin if not for the taboo about how only woman may train men and vice versa. However Brigid thought of Scathach who had trained many mortal warriors though had not had much chance to do so in recent years. However one thing that Caber did make sure he taught Eiltin was the basics of the bardic arts his form of some father son bonding
Eiltin trained very hard with Scathach trying to prove his worth and she saw something in him that she liked. When he was seven she took him to pick out a Celtic War Hound (Cú Faoil) pup and he quickly bounded with the runt of the litter. He named the dog, Ruarc, and Eiltin and the dog were rarely ever apart. As he trained more and more with Scathach it became apparent that he was best with the spear and they focused on combining that skill with his speed to make up for his lack of strength and toughness.
After he had finished his training with Scathach his Foster Mother Brigid gave him an enchanted spear, Sleg Tapa, which she had made herself. The spear is a very powerful weapon though much of it power remains locked until Eiltin can earn access to those powers and currently only shows the fact that the spear is all but indestructible. While he had become a truly skilled warrior Eiltin had trouble getting people to give him respect especially among the other warriors. During the most recent Fomorian attack he proved himself in battle showing himself to be just as skilled or better than many of the warriors around his age. Very quickly some of the gods who used to not even consider him a real warrior now saw the possibilities he could present them.
How do you plan to introduce the character to the game?: Eiltin is a Celtic demigod and has been known to be sent on work for the Celts on earth since he can work there with full power without a host.
What are you planning to do with this character? : I would like for him to interact with some of the other godlings.
What do you want to see happen with this character?: I want Eiltin to develop more and to prove himself more to the Celts.

Sleg Tapa

There is a subtle but intricate design the weaves it's way through the entirety of the spear.
History: Eiltin's spear was specifically made for him by his Foster-Mother Brigid after he finished his training with Scathach and as such is on par with weapons made by the best blacksmiths of any other pantheon. Though the spears full powers are still locked until he can prove his worth of having access to them.
Abilities: Eiltin's spear is indestructible including the wooden aspects of it. He can use the spear while moving at his top speed without it impeding his speed or it's. As of yet Eiltin doesn't know what else the spear can do.
11th June 2011
Due to his Demigod nature and not having the full divine energies that a full god has Eiltin's powers as a god are not up to there full levels that he would potentially have as a full god. Such as greater super-strength, endurance, and healing.
One of the big ones that even he does not even know he has is wind control as a wind god which is were he gets his speed from not being a god of speed.
As a full god he could control the winds to a degree. But as it stands right not he can do anything with this power but occasionally when feeling strong emotions sometimes this power will flare up as a wind storm or some other unnatural wind event.
10th June 2011
1. The cabal of evil underworld gods and rulers convene to come up with a way to get more souls for themselves for their realms. After some bickering and infighting someone suggests they free the Red Lord Bodb Derg and make a deal with him that he send them more souls.
2. The cabal then invades Annwn to get to his spiral tower. The Celtic gods and maybe the defenders help to fight off the attack as to keep the balance in the underworld.
3. They don't realize that this whole attack was just a distraction so that they could get to the Red Lord and free him. Before they bring him to earth they make a deal with him for what they want and Bodb Derg seems to agree.
4. When they get to earth however the Red Lord attacks them and drives them off with ease. He then starts going on a rampage causing destruction and massive environmental damage all the while heading towards England to destroy the place of power of his accursed enemy once and for all.
5. When he finally get there Excalibur holds him off for a little while but he just seems to get more and more stronger as destruction occurs.
6. The Defenders either come on their own to help deal with this or get called by Excalibur as back up to help them out especially now that they are losing.
7. The Defenders help starts turning the battle again but then the Red Lord once again starts winning. Seeing that they can't win this fight head on. Some of Excal's members and maybe a Defender or two go to Avalon to see if they can find a way to beat him there while the others work on holding him off.
8. In Avalon the team finds a weakened Green Knight who tell them that the Red Lord can't be beaten in a straight on fight but could be tricked into being banished back to Annwn again but doing so would require a lot of powerful magic.
9. When the group gets back from Avalon all the magic users work together to make a portal powerful enough send the Red Lord back to Annwn while the rest work together to force him through it eventually doing so imprisoning him once more.
*note: this could be made into a longer and less straight forward plot if desired with the Red Lord instead of just cause massive amount of destruction secretly going around the planet causing environmental destruction and unleashing Banes to make himself stronger.

Dogs of Annwn
1. Eoghan shows up a the defenders compound on Halloween unannounced this may lead to a briefly tense situation until Eiltin can explain that Eoghan is a friend of his.

Powers: Branwyen is versed in druidic magic and has some skill with controlling birds especially Starlings though not ravens and crows since they belong to Morrigan and her daughters.

Name: Eoghan
PB: Chaney Kley

Eoghan spends most of his time in Annwn learning from his father about their realm and the dead but often comes up to Tir na nÓg where the rest of the Tuatha da Danaan reside to hunt and learn how to fight. It was on one of these many trips Eoghan befriended Eiltin. Where many of the Danaan where not friendly to Eiltin because of his demigod status and lack of strength Eoghan did not treat him badly since they were both really liked hunting and dogs and Eoghan's understanding of the nature of life and dead letting see beyond the demigod stuff. Currently Eoghan acts like a bounty hunter for his father capturing escaped spirits and souls and bring them back to Annwn.
Powers: Eoghan has command of the spirits and dead of Annwn and command of a few dozen Cŵn Annwn or hounds of Annwn who can drag runaway spirits back to Annwn. Eoghan has the standard abilities of a Celtic god in addition to the for mentioned abilities all of which become stronger in Annwn. Eoghan is well trained in combat especially using war dogs and is a skilled hunter. Eoghan's command of the spirits and dead of Annwn is greatly weakened on Samhain due to the thinness of the veil between the living and the dead on that day.
Name: Ronan
PB: Brandon Quinn
History: The son of Goibniu and grandson of Brigid, Ronan is constantly seeking the approval of his father and others among the smiths like his uncle and grandmother.

2nd July 2010
Ruarc is a Cú Faoil a dog native to Avalon related to Cŵn Annwn or the hounds of Annwn. Since he is a supernatural dog he has some abilities that come with it. He is far stronger, faster, smarter and more durable than a normal dog. He is effectively immortal though can be killed if enough damage is done. However of all of these the ability that a Cú Faoil is most prized for is its ability to tell friend from foe at a glance making them incredible guard dogs. However a Cú Faoil is very stubborn and will only obey a master it has chosen. It is for that reason that when a Cú Faoil and its master grow close enough the title of Cu is given to the master to honor them for earning the respect of a Cú Faoil.
Eiltin typically wears either a loincloth or the Avalon equivalent of Compression shorts that's it. His Tattoos are made from a plant ink similar to Woad native to Avalon.

As he trained more and more with Scathach it became apparent that he was best with the spear and they focused on combining that skill with his speed to make up for his lack of strength and toughness.
After he had finished his training with Scathach his Foster Mother Brigid gave him an enchanted spear, Sleg Tapa, which she had made herself. The spear is a very powerful weapon though much of it power remains locked until Eiltin can earn access to those powers and currently only shows the fact that the spear is all but indestructible. While he had become a truly skilled warrior Eiltin had trouble getting people to give him respect especially among the other warriors. During the most recent Fomorian attack he proved himself in battle showing himself to be just as skilled or better than many of the warriors around his age. Very quickly some of the warrior gods who used to not even consider him a real warrior now saw the possibilities he could present them.
How do you plan to introduce the character to the game?: Eiltin is a Celtic demigod and has been known to be sent on work for the Celts on earth since he can work there with full power without a host.
What are you planning to do with this character? : I would like for him to interact with some of the other godlings.
What do you want to see happen with this character?: I want Eiltin to develop more and to prove himself more to the Celts.
Sample post: Messanger duty was something Eiltin always found to be distasteful and boring. He also disliked that he had to leave Ruarc behind since as fast as the dog was he could not keep up with him when he started running. But if the Dagda requested that he deliver a message to each of the four cities of Tir na nOg then he really couldn’t refuse him especially since his father was busy working on his latest epic.
It would take him an hour to take care of this even with his speed but the wonderus slights of his home did make the running worth it and this run would let him see a lot of his home. He did need to take a break in each city to catch his breath quickly since he lacked his father’s incredible endurance while running. The run from Murias to Falias was particularly beautiful with the cliffs near the shore. He did make sure he had brought his spear with him for that part since it would also take him past the entrance to the Dark Relm and he wanted to be armed should he run into any Fomorian.
He wasn’t sure what message he was delivering but it was probably of some importance and as much as he wanted to know since it would be dishonorable for him to look without permission.
