when you’re checking out mythology for fun and something about the tale of Cú Chulainn strikes a chord
namely the Tuatha
(and a quick search reveals like..EVERYTHING about the names of Amalur)
the Tuatha were liike..gods and godesses. and their primary enemies the FOMORIANS lol (no get this the fomorians are like a represenation of the DESTRUCTIVE and HARMFUL aspects of nature, as opposed to the tuatha) who’s leader was named BALOR double lol
oh and the Tuatha are eventually led (tricked) to live in the Sidhe which is basically the fairy realm and a bunch of hills at..the same..time?? i dunno i’m kinda tired
#well ok then#amalur#kingdoms of amalur: reckoning#interesting to go for some irish folklore for once#in a fantasy setting#more..or less#i do wish roman letters weren't so stupidly inefficient#to portray how you're supposed to pronounce old irish words#i mean COME ON#why don't we just change everything to phonetics for ease#even THAT has limitations#but less than fuicking...this
