Lugh

Lugh is an interloper deity of art, commerce, travelers, and excellence who originates from another plane of existence.

Description

Lugh's avatar form was that of a tall man, young in age, either with or without a beard, who had very large hands. Sometimes his avatar specifically took the form of a shoemaker. Regardless, his avatar form never appeared wearing armor.

Personality

Lugh is a very self-confident deity, always in search of new knowledge and experiences — if a worshiper ever calls upon him in a situation that he has never been in before, Lugh might respond by sending an avatar. He is also a great courter of women, consorting with the various goddesses of whatever land he travels to, even managing to make lovers of his enemies.

He is also what one could consider the druidical ideal, more fully understanding druidism than any other entity.

Divine Realm

Lugh originally lives long ago in the divine realm of Tir na Og, but once he has fully explored it he leaves to explore the multiverse. Only returning when he desires the company of his fellow Celts, during which he lives in the home of whatever Celtic goddess will take him in for the night.

Worshippers

The priests of his faith were permitted to wielded slings or maces. They wore a kilt as part of their priestly vestments. They had access to spells from the all, animal, astral, charm, combat, creation, divination, guardian, healing, protection, summoning, sun, and weather spheres. They particularly had access to the spells light and darkness, but out to a radius of 100 feet (30 meters). They also were capable of enchanting items once per week.

Lugh's priests were required to be highly skilled in the arts and well-traveled. They also had to either erect mounds to him or hold ceremonies for him atop low hills.

As a god of travel, Lugh was quite popular among planewalkers. And the more adventurous members of the Society of Sensation greatly admired him, wanting to emulate his "never shying away from a challenge" and "try anything" nature.

In some worlds where the Celtic pantheon was worshiped, Lugh was among their most widely worshiped members. Having numerous monuments where followers would come to pray for guidance in any of his many areas of expertise.

Relationships

Lugh was often found in the company of the Celtic goddess Rosmerta, who was sometimes his consort. He was also the brother of the Celtic deity Diancecht.
