Default Re: Some questions to Illwinter, not urgent at all

Tir na nog is a theme used in alot of games. It is the capital city for Hibernia in Dark Age of Camelot. If I remember correctly, it is the name of a place in early Celtic Mythology where the Tuatha de Danaan lived (Or retreated to behind the veil?). Other notable places included Tir na Mbeo and Magmell (Summer fields?).

As excited as I am about the tir na nog nation, I am also super excited about the Fomoria nation. The Fomor were the Celts version of the Juton in a way, and the mythos behind both this faction and the Tuatha will lend alot of unit/nation spell ideas.

With the addition of those two nations, we will have a fleshed out Celtic/Briton myth model that will feel as complete as the current Norse implementation.
