Erin

There were several stories recorded in the ‘book of Erin’s invasions’ that was used to record the history of Erin.

It was because there were that many leading species that led Erin’s history.

In the first place, the name of ‘Erin’s invasions’ in the history book was proof of that.

The first ones to start Erins history were a race of people that were known as the Van. This organization, that had a Goddess called Cessair as its leader, could have set up a culture of its own, however, its reign didn’t last long.

The reason for that was the appearance of the fomoires.

The king of the fomoires, Cichol, spread a strong plague and put the Van’s on the brink of death but also invaded Erin directly and didn’t leave anyone alive.

But even the era when the fomoires reigned supreme couldn’t last long.

The second group of people that appeared in Erin, the Partholon, were different to the Van’s. They rather succeeded in launching a surprise attack on the fomoires and succeeded on defeated Cichol, the king of the fomoires, after a long war.

After they chased away the fomoires from Erin they became the second rulers of Erin. But the final and strongest curse king Cichol left harassed them without stop. In the end, the Partholons couldn’t endure the curse of Cichol and Erin became an ownerless land once again.

The third group to rule Erin was a group called as the Nemed. However, they were defeated in their fourth great war against the fomoires and all the people of their race became enslaved to the fomoires.

After that, the ancestors of the ones that had fled of the tyranny of the fomoires had returned once again and they were the Fir-holg and Tuatha De Danann.

Tuatha De danann, that had driven out the Fir-holgs that had established some force after the fomoires, started a large scale war against the fomoires that were a long time enemy of Erin.

And in that war, Lugh the king of Gods defeated the king of fomoires Balor and attained victory.

It was now the time of peace.

However, Tuatha De Danann got faced with a new challenge.

It was the appearance of the Milesians, a strong race of humans.

The Milesians drove the Tuatha De Danann away and reigned Erin. The Tuatha De Danann fled to the underground world and the Milesians, that got to dominate Erin completely, defeated the fomoires that were invading intermittently and opened the gates to a new era.
