Manannan Mac Lir

Manannan Mac Lir is an interloper deity of oceans who originates from another plane of existence.

Description

This deity owned a set of armor made of metal and sea shells, with a +5 enchantment, which he typically donned when entering combat. In terms of weapons he owned a magical trident, which could extract the moisture from a foe's body, and a deadly broadsword known as Retaliator. A blade that would almost certainly kill any fire giants it struck instantly. He also owned a sea chariot that his avatar rode upon, pulled by various sea creatures.

Personality

He holds great respect for those who can master the seas, but shows no pity for those who drown.

Divine Realm

Manannan Mac Lir lives within the Outlands, in the divine realm of Tir fo Thuinn. This domain is a large lake located near the Celtic pantheon's main realm of Tir na Og, at the base of the Spire. The realm is full of stunning undersea vistas. Strewn with shells, aquamarine, and turquoise.

His petitioners live their lives as if they are still above land, albeit with both obvious and subtle differences, such as herding fish in place of cattle and sheep. His petitioners are also callous to travelers that fall on hard times.

Worshippers

The priests of his faith could be either clerics or druids. They typically wielded maces or tridents as weapons. They wore a helmet and kilt for priestly vestments. They had access to spells from the animal, astral, combat, divination, elemental, guardian, healing, plant, summoning, and weather spheres. They particularly had access to the spells create or destroy water and water breathing.

His priests were required to base themselves in coastal regions or villages, but were permitted to travel inland on any business that could affect the seas. They were also encouraged to protect both the ocean and its creatures.

Some of the marids of Zakhara paid homage to mac Lir, having a shrine to him at their Citadel of Ten Thousand Pearls. Advertisement

Relationships

Manannan Mac Lir generally considered fire giants to be his enemies and would reserve the use of his blade Retaliator for fighting them.

After being rivals for eons, mac Lir and Poseidon agreed to put their differences aside and began to improve their relations, though they were far from being close.
