Any Idea for better Tuatha Titans?

Nah, people were coming up with WAY creepier cosmic-horror adjacent stuff long before Lovecraft was a sparkle in his parents' eyes.

Cool. Thanks.

In the Dresden Files the aquatic villain group who turns out to be the Big Bad behind a lot of the bad stuff are called the Fomor and are bitter enemies of both the Summer and Winter Court fae.

I actually heard about the whole "Aquatic Fomorians" thing. It may well have started from a mistranslation that most Academics in Celtic Studies don't take seriously anymore.

This was reinforced by some people is that there's references that the Fomorians come from "Beneath", and some assume it meant "Beneath the sea"

The thing is, it's just... Beneath. A sort of ominous not-here that exists below the surface. When the Milisans beat the Tuatha in their war, the Tuatha were banished Beneath Ireland. They weren't kicked into the sea, they were just banished Beneath Ireland.

The Fomorians aren't aquatic fish-folk in the classical sources. Some of them look misshapen, some have the motif of One Eye, One Hand, One Foot, but most of them map to Basically Humanoid, like the Tuatha. The 'Aquatic Fomor' is a pretty recent take, TBH.

(I like Butcher but he takes... LIBERTIES)

Who is Butcher? An Author?

[Purple Snit]

Jim Butcher, author of The Dresden Files. They are most excellent reads.

The Dresden Files is fun junk food literature but again... Liberties. If you go in knowing "This is probably not really accurate to much" you'll probably have fun.

Thank you. I kinda figured he took a few liberties with the source material.
