Gofannon

Gofannon, the ‘Divine-Smith,’ was the son of Belenos, the Sun-God, and Anu, his wife. He was known as Goibhniu to the Irish and identified with Vulcan by the Romans.

The Smith-God was a particularly important member of the Celtic pantheon, as the smith was in Celtic society. For to be able to create strong shining metal from rough ore was seen as almost magical. Weapons made by Gofannon himself were guaranteed to always fly true and inflict a fatal wound on their target. He was thus often called upon to forge such items for the gods. Notably in Irish legend, where he made blades for Loucetios (Lugh) and the Tuatha before the second Battle of Magh Tuiredh; and in Welsh legend, where he created a silver hand for the wounded Nodens (Lludd). In the tale of Culhwch & Olwen, he helps to delineate the furrows and clean the plowshare - presumably because of his metal associations.
Gofannon was also the host of the Underworld feast for which he provided a special ale to make the drinkers immortal. Which has started the rumors of there being several cults and even clerics who worship him as a God of Beer. Anytime he's asked about it is met with just a smirk and a subject changes a Very obvious one at that.
