Dagda (Greater God)
Dagda enjoys a position of leadership among the loose confederation of Celtic gods, a god of druids. His powers are widely varied, but he is credited with control over the weather and crops. His great cauldron is a bottomless receptacle filled with food and drink and the abundance of the Celtic Otherworld from which he comes – there is virtually nothing he cannot pull from his cauldron.
Dagda is the custodian of the gods and all Celtic people, using his charms and powers to protect and aid them whenever he can. As a warrior he is a great leader and scout, as a father figure he is both stern and fun-loving; Dagda enjoys being a comical figure of great
power.
Roleplaying Tips
Dagda is a happy go lucky sort who is only interested in the general welfare of his Celtic worshippers. He will often send his avatar to appear at the scene of an impending battle and use his charms to sway crucial female figures on the otherside. He also sends him during times of pestilence or crop failure to set things right. He will attempt to resort to comic trickery to get his own way.
