Vadhagh History The Vadhagh arrived bearing with them their stone of destiny called the Lia Fail which they placed on the mound of Tara and ever after the rightful kings were chosen when it called out. They also brought the spear of Lugh which ensured victory to whoever wielded it, The Sword of Nuada from whom none could escape and the Cauldron of the Dagda from which none would go unsatisfied. They clashed with the Nhadragh who they defeated at the first battle of Magh Tuiredh and routed towards the West where they allowed them to stay. After defeating the Nhadragh they were challenged by the Fomorians and had to fight another battle near the same place, which became known as the second battle of Magh Tuiredh, they defeated the great Fomorian warrior Balor, and so laid undisputed claim to the land. They prospered under their two great heroes Nuada of the Silver Arm and Lugh of the Long Arm. They were eventually defeated by the Vettii. As they were a magical people they decided to go underground into another dimension of space and time the entrances to which are at many sites around the land. Vadhagh Culture The Vadhagh of the Dreamlands are aloof, intellectual, distant and long lived (1000 years is common).They regard most of the humans living near their Brughs as little more than intellegent beasts. The Vadhagh live in isolated castles with thier family and a small group of (related) servents, rarely venturing into the world outside. They prefer to stay in thier "ivory towers" immersed in abstract studies. They are fatalistic, abstract and somewhat lazy. Some Vadhagh worry that thier race is dying of degenerating. Yet they do little about it, save to philosophize in thier abstract distant and withdrawn manner. Even their famous war with the Nhadragh was conducted with a sense of aesthetics and with little hatred, even though the war killed about two thirds of the Vadhagh.
