Note: For more information on the Tuatha pantheon and their Gaels, there are many online sources, such as Wikipedia, to explore the mythical and historical settings of Ireland that authors have used over the years to engage in fantasy world-building. Likewise, in Britain, with Arthurian myths and legends, as well as Celtic and Roman ones.

Note Two: I have not include much about the Fomorian God Tethra or his Chief Demon Balor of the Baleful Eye. Thus I thought I would use an AI artwork generator (for which I used Nightcafe) to depict these characters who appear one Destiny Cycle One and Two.
